"My sister had a filling come out of her tooth and we called Waxsaw Dental and they got her in the next morning. Since the Doctor she had gone to for years had retired, she was scheduled with Dr Marshall Earnest and his assistant Jenna. They were both very kind and professional. They explained all of the options clearly and were able to fix the tooth the same day. Since I wasn't the one being worked on, I was able to watch the procedure. They worked together seamlessly with such skill and calmness. It was very impressive and I would certainly recommend them."

"Waxhaw Dental Center staff are friendly and kind, and do excellent work. I'm especially pleased with my crowns. We pay out of pocket, so if the prices were a bit more affordable I'd give them 5 stars."

"The staff was professional and thorough. Nothing unexpected and the team was pleasant as well. A bit frustrated that I couldn’t do the consultation and cleaning at the same visit but I understand if I had a lot of stuff going on they would have had to take care of that first. As it was the staff there was able to schedule me an appointment that worked with my schedule to get my cleaning done very quickly."

"Waxhaw Dental Center provides excellent dental care! I’ve been going there for 10 years now and have never had a bad experience with any of the dentists, hygienists or staff I’ve seen. I’ve routinely had Candy for my cleanings over the past few years. She is very professional and courteous."

"I was bumped due to a Hygienist calling in sick. I waited 4 weeks for call back to reschedule.. Never heard back, so I had to call and make my own short notice cleaning appointment. I received new a hygienist and new DDS. The cleaning was a little rough but it was thorough. Customer service for client retention needs work."

"Dr. Earnest and his assistant Jenna worked seamlessly to complete my dental work in a timely and efficient manner. The hygienist, Nicole, got me checked in and brought back on time so that I was able to get started with my treatment right away and was not late for work. I was comfortable from start to finish and was impressed with the experience as I have not had pleasant dental treatment in the past. I would highly recommend Dr. Earnest for any procedure as he had been reassuring and confident throughout. Thank you to Waxhaw Dental Center providing exceedingly excellent service yet again."
