EXCELLENT Based on 247 reviews Posted on Google ReginaJuly 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After a traumatic dental experience over 10 years ago, I honestly never thought I’d feel safe or comfortable in a dentist’s chair again. But Dr. Sigmon and his amazing team completely changed that for me. I first came across his office on Facebook—his name kept popping up in my feed, especially from a friend who highly recommended him for anxious dental patients. After reading the glowing reviews, I finally worked up the courage to message the office and share my story. To my surprise, I got a response the very next morning. A staff member replied directly to my message and called me personally. That alone already felt different—like they truly cared. They scheduled me for an appointment just two days later, and from the moment I walked in, I felt seen and supported. I was given a stress ball during the exam, and they let me pause anytime I needed. The dental assistant was incredibly kind, and Dr. Sigmon was both gentle and thorough. Despite not seeing a dentist in a decade, he reassured me that my teeth were actually in good shape (a huge relief!). He even took the time to show me the proper way to floss—something I’d never been taught before. The hygienist stopped by to introduce herself before my cleaning next week, and checkout was a breeze thanks to insurance coverage. They also offered options to help with anxiety for my next visit, including nitrous, which made me feel respected and welcomed—not judged. I’m genuinely looking forward to going back, not just for my cleaning but to get fitted for a dental guard to help with the grinding headaches I’ve been having. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Sigmon and his entire team. They’re compassionate, professional, and truly understand how to care for people with dental anxiety. I’m so thankful to have found a dentist I can trust—and actually want to go back to!Posted on Google JosephJuly 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Dentist had retired so we were looking for a good dentist. Compass Dental and Dr Ryan Sigmon came highly recommended by a friend in the dental industry. My wife and I have been patients of Compass Dental ever since. Their professional care and kind compassion has helped us take care of our aging teeth. This week, Josie and Breanna did our cleanings. They both had listening ears, was very thorough, and best of all, pain free.Posted on Google TammyJune 30, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a very highly anxious person. I would recommend Dr. Sigmon and his staff to anyone. Everyone one is so friendly and compassionate. I got in on the same day I called with a severe toothache. I can't explain the experience that I really had. They talk to you and get to know you as a person before doing any procedure. I was cold and was given a very thick warm fuzzy blanket to cover me. All I can say is Dr. Sigmon and staff are amazing.Posted on Google TroyJune 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I used to be scared to go to the dentist well into adulthood and now I really don’t mind especially to the welcoming atmosphere and staff. Dr. Sigmon takes time to listen to my concerns and they schedule quickly. This is the best dental practice I’ve ever been to.Posted on Google CherylApril 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Sigmon does an awesome job explaining the needed treatment, or acknowledging when treatment is not required. Very knowledgeable!!!Posted on Google TeriMarch 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have seen Dr. Sigmon twice and love his staff and his cheerful and positive demeanor. He did a big favor I didn't know I could do when I found my teeth staining from I thought a lifetime antibiotic I take. He sandblasted the stain right off and assured me it was not the antibiotic but explained the reason. If I did not live an hour away, I would take my whole family there.Posted on Google RayDecember 18, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unprofessional and not polite at all. The women behind the desk were not helpful and I would not recommend.Showing our latest reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
