East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine - Sylva, NC

AND to the surprise of no one their reply to the review was the same canned response to all their negative reviews. The students typically do amazing work. However that is where my good interactions at this practice end. Dr. Manga in particular has terrible bedside manner. I came in for a quick re-exam to plan a future procedure, and he tried to push me into doing it right then and there. I told him I didn’t have the time (had work later and needed rest), and his response was that the visit was a ‘waste of his time.’ That was the last straw. Shame, because this is the only affordable dentist in this area, but I won’t be back.

I am extremely satisfied with the dentists and dentistry. With that said, if you are a parent and you are waiting on your child, heed my words and BRING A BOOK. There is no cell service. There is no access to wifi. There is no radio playing. There are no magazines. There are a couple of televisions that are turned off. There is absolutely NOTHING TO DO. If you have to sit in that waiting room for hours, it is like being in solitary confinement. I left with a headache from me talking to myself for multiple hours to pass the time. Anyway, minus 1 star for having the worst waiting room in existence. By the way, if you have very small children, there is a waiting area for them to do nothing as well (see pic).

I have to say going to the dentist to have teeth pulled is never a fun experience. However, this team of professionals were simply amazing! Not only were they kind and compassionate but they literally did everything they could to ease my discomfort, inform me of my care and honestly it never really hurt. That’s weird right? I had 4 teeth pulled, one right after the other! Dr. Saeed (I’m sorry I can’t spell your last name) and Teresa, the Pro in professional dental assistant truly made a dreaded experience so much better. Thank you all ECU dental college, you are the best!

My insurance company recommended the school of dental in Sylvia NC for me. I'm a former patient of affordable dentures. So I called. I was told I could not be seen at the school and I had to go back to affordable dentures. I didn't even get to explain why I wanted to be seen at the school. I was extremely disappointed and my feelings was hurt. I still don't have a dentist.

I am writing this to inform people just how great the ECU dental clinic is. I spent many years, myself, in the dental field. As a result, I am very critical. The staff, the entire staff, are just wonderful. They are professional and caring. I have been dealing with a childhood accident for several decades. Finally I was referred to them. They treated me without judgement or criticism, which I feel is important because sometimes life gets in the way. Every step of my care was evaluated and re-evaluated. They fitted me with a lower partial which fits just perfect in spite if a few complications. Aside from the excellent care provided to me personally, they are very focused on helping veterans. The VA DOES NOT provide dental care to Veterans unless its service related. These folks real
