Dr. Larry Meador, DDS

I had a canine tooth break off. My previous dentist had cut into the root with a burr and I couldn’t get a crown. The staff was nice, the finance person was thorough and Dr. Meador was excellent. I had to get tooth cut out and stitches. I healed quickly without infection or complications.

I came to this office as a new patient and will not be returning. I have a potentially complex sinus issue of endodontic origin and was referred to Dr. Meador by my ENT. I came with a CT scan and x-rays in hand; yet, Dr. Meador seemed rushed and did not take the time to consider either. He decided, without review of my medical records and with only a very quick glance at my teeth, that I had no need for an oral surgeon, despite an explicit referral to his office. He dismissed my concerns and told me to call an endodontist. Though I would love to believe I do not need a tooth removed, I unfortunately can't trust Dr. Meador's evaluation. He was too busy or dismissive to consider all the evidence on the table. Although he seemed to have no interest in taking my concerns seriously or taking the extra few minutes to consider all evidence, his office was happy to bill me for a full visit. I do not recommend this practice, and I am frustrated that I drove over an hour to visit his office.

Had an upper molar removed due to causes of my own. The initial visit, removal and followup were excellent. While no extraction/surgery is enjoyable, this visit was made as minimally painful as could possible be accomplished. Dr. Meador, staff, and overall courtesy was superb. Would I be a patient of this office again, absolutely.

Dr. Meadow was very kind and gentle to me. Also he was very generous to me as he never charged me or my family. My Son had a Mesiodens. I had several extractions. I really like the way He talked to me. Even though I am a Dentist, I too have fear of pain. Like a lot of people I have had bad experiences in the chair. My experiences with him were really good. I wouldn't hesitate to go back. Hopefully not soon

Dr. Meadows and his office staff are inconsiderate, rude, disorganized and poorly trained. The consult was very expensive, even thought Dr. More for only spent less than 3 minutes in the room with me. He would have removed 4 fully grown wisdom teeth that had no issues if I had not received a second opinion. He was unwilling to come into the exam room to answer questions about his reasoning that wisdom tooth extraction was needed. Horrible experience and am surprised he is allowed to stay open.

Dr Meador ignored the urgency of helping me. He was only interested in if I needed expensive work done and wasted my time. My chronic disease was reacting badly to an infection. Another oral surgeon gladly assisted me and even did a full scan of X-rays at no cost. I was so grateful that this younger surgeon helped me improve to make it to my nieces graduation.

I had my wisdom teeth taken out and unfortunately experienced dry sockets... Dr. Meador met me at his office on New Year's Day (a HOLIDAY... the office was closed) because I was in considerable pain. He packed up the sockets and I had no problem since. Start to finish it was a very positive experience.

His staff was rude. Charges were exorbitant. A 7 minute consultation cost $104. That about $891 per hour. When he extracted the tooth, the nitrous oxide was not working. When I brought that up (as I was weeping in excruiciating paint), he said he could get it done at the hospital. . .if I thought his charges were a lot, guess how much more it would be at the hospital. This place was very unprofessional, rude, and unkind.

Dr. Meador and his staff gave me excellent care today when I got my wisdom tooth removed. 12 hours later and Besides the expected discomfort and swelling I have no complaints. I don't even need to take the pain meds that were prescribed.
