Jason Herrick, DDS

I’ve had a phobia of going to the dentist for almost a decade now. Six months ago, I broke that streak and saw Jason. Thank goodness I did! This dentist is kind, gentle, and very good at what he does!
The hygienists explain what they’re doing every step of the way, so you’re not left to wonder what’s happening in your mouth! They even have TVs above every chair – it really helps take your mind off of things!
The receptionist knows EVERYTHING about the place, and always answers your question with a smile!
Let’s face it, going to the dentist is never fun. But Jason Herrick and his staff make the experience as painless as they can. They get you in and out swiftly, while still providing thorough care. If you’re looking for a practice that wants you to be happy and healthy, and are willing to take every step with you to get you there, this is the place to go!

This is the second time I’ve been to Dr. Herrick for a routine check-​up.
Pros:
— I was put in a hygenist chair within 5 minutes of arriving (both times) — super great.
— The hygenist I had was friendly and talkative.
Cons:
–The hygenist stating I needed two xrays/​year for preventative purposes and me having to stop her before she took them. I know my insurance pays for only once/​year, and that is all I can afford. My husband wasn’t aware, so he unknowingly got bitewings twice and now we have to pay for them :(We both take good care of our teeth, so I feel like it was money wasted just for the office to get $ from his insurance.
— The actual dentist comes to see you for approx 2 minutes. He literally said to me «Hi, are you ready for Christmas?» then opened my mouth, looked at top and bottom, said «You’re good to go, take care», got up from the chair and left. Not the best in ‘bedside manner’…
— Not a kid friendly place (although I’d suggest a pediatric dentist for kiddos). There was one game for kids to play on TV, but no toys, play area, etc. Seemed young kids wouldn’t feel too comfy here, but I did see two kids about 9 – 10 and they seemed ok with their experience.
If anyone has a better dentist in the JeffCo/​SoCo area, I’d love to hear suggestions.
