Cothern Ashly Dr

Wish I could give 0 stars. Went to this dentist after reading good reviews and was SHOCKED when she had me sit down with her billing expert to go over my treatment plan. I knew I had one tooth that needed a root canal, but Dr Cothern’s somehow managed to find 5 other teeth that needed crowns/​root canals to the tune of $ 15,000 not even including the cost of the endodontist root canal! I literally almost fell off my chair! I’d been to the dentist just a year ago and was told only the one tooth was in need of treatment. They also charged me $ 500 for «comprehensive» x rays not covered by insurance. I left the office in tears.
Luckily I went to my sister’s dentist for a second opinion and was told, as I originally suspected, that I only needed 1 root canal and crown and a couple of mild fillings with a grand total go $ 1900. avoid dr Cothern’s office unless you really feel like throwing money away.

I love Dr. Cothern’s office! Best experience I have ever had at a dentist’s office hands down. In the past 5 years, I have had a total of 4 different dentists… Dr. Cothern and her staff make you feel like family and genuinely are wonderful at what they do. I am a girl that cannot stand pain and I have always had a pleasant experience when getting cavities filled.
I remember the first time I walked in to an appointment and Dr. Cothern asked me about my goals for my smile. I was pleasantly shocked by that comment! I wanted to have a better smile and she DIDN’T try to scam me with Invisalign like other dentists have in the past, she recommended me to the best Ortho in town, Dr. Kanabar!
A clean office, friendly & caring staff, and an EXCELLENT dentist have kept me coming back…
Now, go get those pearly whites (or yellow teeth) cleaned NOW!

My husband and I have been patients for 8 years or so. Dr. Cothern is wonderful, kind, and explains everything to you in detail. My only complaint is it can be difficult to schedule a regular cleaning appoinment not a few months in advance.

I went to Dr. Cothern after seeing some good reviews.
I have had ONE cavity in my entire life. I went to a dentist 1.5 years ago. That dentist told me that everything was fine.
Imagine my shock when I was told at Dr. Cothern’s office that I had ELEVEN cavities.
Now imagine my shock when they handed me an estimate of over $ 4,400 to fill these cavities.
Luckily I went to get a 2^nd opinion.
Lo and behold… I have THREE cavities. One in an upper molar and two in my wisdom teeth.
$ 160 later I have my cavity filled and must make an appointment to get my wisdom teeth out.
I should have known something was wrong when the hygenist told me not to feel bad because her friend who has never had a cavity went to Dr. Cothern and found out that he had seven cavities.
Stay away from this scam!!!

I have only one thing to say about Dr. C (and these are words that I would NEVER have thought would roll across these lips, trust me!):
I. Love. my. Dentist.
If you want incredible dental care with a professional, caring, awesome (emphasis on awesome, please) staff, go see Dr. Cothern.
(And no, I was NOT paid to say this.)
