Hear From Our Happy Patients!

Kisha K.

"I never write reviews but this one is warranted. I drove to Baton Rouge from Lafayette in the pouring rain with extreme pain because I could not find a dentist open on a Saturday, until I found Dr. Wade. No one was open in my area and I was in enough pain that I was desperate. Even though I called prior to make sure they took walk ins, I really expected to be turned away because I arrived at 3pm on a holiday weekend. Not only was I seen and treated, I never not once felt like I was bothering them- the staff, nurses & doctor all treated me with kindness and compassion. This has not been my past experience with other dentists. Dr. Wade is going to be my go to dentist, worth the drive!"

Manuel S.

"I had been in pain for three days. I went to the ER my second night in pain. I called my regular dentist and all he told me take pain meds and to wait until Monday. Doctor Wade took a demon out of my mouth on Saturday morning. He said he would be there Sunday if I would have called on a Sunday with severe pain. I have never met a dentist that cared this much for his patients. I was pain free within minutes. I am grateful to have a local dentist this caring."

Emily W.

"I was having extreme pain and needed an extraction ASAP. Was very thankful he was open on a Saturday. He and his team are very pleasant. He numbed me while I waited for him to finish other patients. Very happy with him!"
