Michael T Allen LLC - Thomaston Melissa Fuller: Dr.Allen & his staff are very attenitive , they are extremely knowledgeable & make you aware of every option possible. I was so comfortable there, unlike serious anxiety at other dentist offices. I would definitely recommend them to everyone. Their prices are also exceptional & Dr.Allen is just the sweetest, he cares about his patients.

CHI Memorial Family Practice Associates - LaFayette - LaFayette Paul Nagy: Honestly, I dont think I couldve asked for a better first time experience. I just moved up to Lafayette and was looking for a new family practice. I was honestly a little skeptical by the reviews but I decided to give it a shot. Heres what I personally experienced:
• Facility - Very clean, well-maintained, nicely decorated and comfortable. The building is clearly signed with the practitioners names to ensure you wind up at the right place. I was having an off morning and didnt notice it, walking into a lobby I thought led to the same place, which leads me to...
• Staff - The staff were extremely friendly and cordial. When I first walked into the wrong entrance there was no one at the counter, but when they saw me someone came out with a smile, apologized, and, after explaining myself, politely directed me to the correct door with no shade or ill manner at all. When I found the correct spot, the staff in that lobby were equally great. I was greeted with smiles and pleasantness which persisted the whole time. The nurse/medical assistant who helped me before seeing Dr. Betts was so good-humored, chipper, and pleasant; the rest of the staff were also friendly, relaxed, and jovial. She was very conversational and gentle as she inquired into my medical history and did some standard tests. Then Dr. Betts came in.
Honestly, just based on first impressions, he surprised me. He did not seem rushed, wanted to have an actual conversation, took his time with the procedure and, unlike past doctors, I didnt feel like a drag to him or I was wasting his time being there (he was also pretty quick getting into the room). We joked as he measured my breathing and took tests which made me feel so much more relaxed than I usually am in doctors offices; it wasnt just a stale of cold atmosphere with no positive reinforcement or feedback, just stern reports.
The staff was just as great on the way out - I did not feel like I was being pushed out the door and they genuinely seemed like they were looking forward to my next appointment.
TL;DR: The facility is beautifully maintained, very comfortable, has a nice, relaxed, social atmosphere, the staff (again, based on first impressions) was so pleasant, skilled, and caring, and so far I feel confident and comfortable staying with them.
