The staff there, which the entire staff is phenomenal. The lady at the desk. I can't remember her name, but she goes above and beyond to help with billing situation. The young man that waited on me, Noah, that's his name, Noah. He was great. Doctor livingston you as always, is fantastic. Thank you all so much.
Dr Livingston went out of his way to do an emergency bride for my front teeth so I could comfortably go on a four day vacation. He gave a beautiful smile so I didn’t have to go 0n my trip “snagged-toothed! Thank you Dr Lynn and your team!
Was treated excellently and though I had a lot of work done, it was relatively painless. Dr. Livingston and the staff were solicitous of my comfort at all times.

The office is a very friendly environment. Dentist office makes me nervous but the staff there make me feel comfortable and you do a good job making dentures. You explain things to me step-by-step.
Not pleasant but necessary.

This doctor and his staff team is great this is a awesome place I would recommend Dr.Lynn Livingston to family and family Ps keep up the great and amazing job you guys
Dr Livingston and team are awesome. I had horrible pain and needed root canal. Dr Livingston calmed me down and I felt no pain during the entire procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Livingston.
Let me say first that all of the hygienists and front office staff are absolutely wonderful. But Dr. Livingston has the emotional intelligence of a Mack truck. It is clear why he works for himself – if he was employed by anyone else, they would have fired him for his behavior. I have always been extremely disturbed at how Dr. Livingston treats his staff. He berates them in front of patients, is condescending, embarrasses them, is dismissive, and is nothing short of verbally abusive. His consistent unprofessionalism towards his staff is simply shocking. It is no wonder that I have *never* seen the same hygienist twice when I go for my next cleaning 6 months later. The turnover at his office is unbelievable. It was never this way when the previous dentist owned the practice. The only reason I’ve stayed as a patient is because it is right next to my house. Shame on me for continuing to support a practice whose doctor is so abusive to his staff. This round of last visits, Dr. Livingston told me the back of my front tooth was chipped. He said I had two options: get a filling (which essentially would cause me to never be able to bite into any food without risking the filling popping off) or get a crown on the tooth. I decided I didn't want to be reduced to a toddler for the rest of my life, so I got the crown. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER. I should have just left the original tooth chipped and lived with it. I had to go back at least five times because the crown he gave me was totally wrong and had to be fixed. For some reason, he could not see how it was incorrect and gave me the attitude that I should just live with it. After multiple visits, I finally had to get a little loud in his office to help him understand that it I was not going to cope with this for the rest of my life and he needed to make it right. After that many times of returning and returning to the office, he finally had to send the crown back to the lab. It is still not right, but it is basically about as good as it will ever be with Dr. Livingston. I've figured out that he just isn't capable of getting it right. Needless to say, my family is leaving his practice and finding a new dentist. We started going there when his predecessor owned the practice, and we should have left when the previous one sold the practice to Livingston. We have not been happy since he took over.
Thank you to Dr. Livingston, Cindy, Daisha, Johanna and the entire staff. It is always pleasant to visit your office. I was glad I had your number, since you had treated my brother in the past. Everyone in your office greets patients with a sincere welcome, friendly smile and puts the patient at ease. It was great to speak with Cindy & Johanna, since I have had conversations with them on numerous visits. Cindy, thank you for your quick response to my urgent call and for arranging a same day appointment. My granddaughter was in a lot of pain and her jaw was visibly swollen. She works a 40-hr week/night-shift job and will be returning to Ga.State College in the Fall for her sophomore year, so she really needed to address her tooth pain. We were greeted kindly by Daisha, who took x-rays which showed all 4 wisdom teeth had come through and also areas of concern for cavities. Dr. Livingston thoroughly explained what was causing the pain, provided the appropriate in-office treatment, along with at-home treatment, antibiotics and pain reliever prescription needed. Dr. Livingston gave my granddaughter honest and sound advice on the condition of her teeth and how to improve and maintain healthy dental care for the future. Thank you for caring for your patients overall well-being. I can’t thank you enough. You know I wanted to bring donuts
Teeth cleaned and 2 fillings done! Pleasant experience!
Dr. Livingston and his staff are the absolute best. There has never been a time that I have not been treated with the utmost care and kindness.
The wait time was short and the attendant was thorough. The doctor explained everything and the pricing was reasonable. On a personal note, the bathroom was extremely clean. I would recommend this office to those looking for a dental appointment. Thank you for providing a much needed service. Blessings.
I have been a patient of Dr. Livingston for many years and have been very pleased with the service provided by him and his staff.
Very great dentist
This dental practice was great in general but especially so when I had an emergency.
Since I’m going to the dentist I can truly say this the best experience in a dentist chair..EVER…..
Dr. Livingston is wonderful! I've been using his practice for several years now. My entire family goes there including my children. I've always had a great experience. He truly cares for his patients and explains everything with great detail. His staff from front desk to dental hygienists are also all very friendly!
Knowledgeable explain what process needs to be done next in order to smile again made necessary repair on mouth that had bad work perform before I came to him.
The staff was very professional
Love this dentist and office. Very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced staff. Dr. Livingston is kind, patient and thorough, and he doesn’t push you toward extra or unnecessary procedures, which is refreshing. I’m very happy with him and his practice. Highly recommend!
The staff and Dr. Livingston were very helpful and pleasant. Took care of my dental needs today.
Everything was good/ perfect
Dr. Livingston is a very competent dentist. Furthermore, he gets you in and out of his office quickly. He is also very caring. After a root canal he gave me his cell phone # in case I had any problems. I highly recommend him.
All personnel in the office were very friendly and Hygienist did a good job in cleaning teeth. Dr. Livingston had a good discussion and explained all the issues related to my teeth.
GREAT EXPERIENCE
