This is who AI told me was the best dentist in kc that accepts medicaid. I have a phobia of needles in my flesh and in the 3 times he's jabbed me, he's never let me see the big steel dentist syringe. Ive seen other dentists leave it out for you to look at the entire time.

Dr and staff are extremely helpful and nice. My daughter has health issues and they were so understanding with her. I have recommended Southtown to several people I know that are having issues finding good dental care with their insurance.
