Wonderful experience from the moment I arrived, very pleasant office staff. Amy, the hygienist was so gentle she actually made the visit enjoyable. Dr Spano took care of some stains on my bonding that 2 other dentist said there was nothing they could do about without extensive dental work. He explained some options to me for some future work and I felt revived and my teeth looked better than they had in years. I wish I had gone there earlier. I left the office feeling great and like I found trusted partners at South Side Dental Center.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Spanos for nearly 8 years and have always been treated well by him and his most pleasant staff. He actually interned with Dr. David Devise many years ago as Dr. Devise was my previous dentist and he recommended Dr. Spano. The office is very efficiently run and wait times are minimal. On the few times Ive had a dental emergency (loose crown) I was accommodated in a very timely manner.

This is the most pleasant office ever! They are so informative, warm and welcoming and are all in a charming, quaint space. I first found this location in 2016, but at the time they didnt take my insurance. I switched providers and loved them so much that I came back in 2021! 10/10!

When I entered I was greeted with a smile, during my visit I was engaged with pleasant conversation, during my procedure I was constantly encouraged that I was during a great job and as I was leaving…. I departed with beautiful smiles from the ladies at the front desk who greeted me at first.So ……… I’ve had an all around 360 degrees AWSOME EXPERIENCE! ….this comes from a grown women scared of the dentist.Thank you Southside

Very efficient office and professional staff. Beautiful, clean, bright space with a gorgeous view of the mountains right from the chair. I particularly appreciated the lack of chit chat; nothing worse than trying to answer a question about your kids while someone has their hands in your mouth. I will definitely recommend them to friends and family.

My 101-year-old mom recently relocated to Charlottesville and needed her dentures to fit her better. Dr. Spano and his technician were good with her and did a good job on her dentures. I asked her what she thought about him when we left she said I thought he was great and did a good job.

South Side Dental Center saved my little girl today!!! What started as an appointment for routine cleaning turned into an emergency extraction due to unexpected tooth trauma on Wednesday. Thank you for making time to take care of her and ensuring she received the needed care as quickly as possible!I am a patient who was abused by a dentist as a child. I’m particular about who I see, and especially who my daughter sees. I’m so thankful we found Dr. Spano and his team! 10/10 recommended.

My grandfather is a client there and had great experience there! Jo really went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable and even helped him out of his wheelchair at my car. Already looking forward to our next appointment.I’ve taken off a couple stars from my last review because although the staff is nice the dentist was way too rough.

Southside Dental ALWAYS comes through for me. The staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Spano tells it like it is, explains the process and answers any questions. I have anxiety about the dentist, but I always come away feeling better. I would highly recommend Dr. Spano and SSD.

Review №24

The one thing I wished, was to found this place before I started my Invisalign, to make sure I am getting the best care throughout the process. I really dislike going to the dentist, DREAD it! I have only been here once and I dont write reviews, just to be writing them, but deep down, I know I am in great care. I have been to multiple dentistry and lets say some thing are better left unsaid.This gal is just exhausted from her tinnitus and hearing (#hardofhearing🦻), however, JESSICA spoke so clearly and it wasnt a struggle to listen to what was being said. A lot of places doesnt accommodate to invisible illness or disabilities, but JESSICA definitely made my visit a pleasure, definitely a gem for sure. It just felt good for ONCE, not having to explains something, without bringing it to their attention.

Review №25

For someone like myself who HATES dentists...to give 5 stars should say a lot. I avoided going to a dentist for probably 4 or 5 years because of bad experiences and dentist not really caring about peoples anxiety about procedures. I had a lot of work that had to be done. I did a sedation appointment and aside from the typical pain of something like that, as far as I can tell spano did great! I love his staff they are all so sweet and I like Spano also. He seems like he enjoys helping people with their teeth and I like his sense of humor. Cant wait for the healing process to be over so I can finally remember what my mouth felt before all of that pain from not going to a dentist. Moral of the story: lesson learned. I wont be missing Any dental appointments. I wouldnt say I love the the dentist by any means...but spano and his team are excellent excellent excellent!

Update: I finally went through with the sedation surgery and am over the moon happy. Even with the swelling that will ease after healing, my smile is truly one of a kind and for the first time of my entire 34 years has it ever felt so good to smile. Thank you Dr. Spano and to your amazing assistants that have made this possible. I am so happy I can finally can have the beautiful smile I have always deserved.No matter how many times I come here, I know that the staff will be there to support my journey. I have been dealing with dental problems my whole life and finally decided to get complete uppers. This is emotional for me, but Dr. Spano and his assistant have been so caring with working with me on what would be the better fit for my happiness in the end. They truly are a special office and would recommend everyone to them.

Review №32

Dr. Spano missed a cavity and my next visit came. I went to my next visit and he said oh I missed this cavity last time and now you might loose this tooth. He didnt offer to fix the tooth, didnt offer any compensation for his mistake, and I havent been back. This has been my one and only cavity. I do not recommend him.

Southside Dental is a clean and modern facility with the latest equipment. They have gone to great length to ensure the safety of staff and patients during the pandemic. I consider them to be a professional outfit. My family and I are very pleased to call them our dentists. They were highly recommended to us and I highly recommend them to you.

Review №39

In my opinion any service provider should have stellar front staff people. Kindness goes a long way and it seems a lot of receptionists don’t realize that. They are the front lines and who we talk to first. I don’t want to have a bad taste in my mouth before I even arrive at my appt no thank you! I have left two different dentists because of HORRIBLE front staff experiences. I am happy to report that Spano’s team is exceptional in this area! Everyone I interacted with from start to finish was a breath of fresh air. I’m never leaving!!

Review №45

First time using this dentist and will definitely stick with them. Having not been to the dentist for 4 years, I was worried that the dentist would identify lots of work that was needed. Ive visited other dentists in the past who seem to be overly aggressive to fix minor issues. But the dentist today was very good about documenting the current state of things and taking an approach of lets wait until next time to see if there are any changes. The staff was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would recommend to others.

Healthcare offices have had to make MANY adjustments to keep patients safe during COVID-19. South Side Dental rose to the challenge and made the experience smooth and seamless.

Hands down the best dental practice I’ve ever been too! I was always one to procrastinate going to the dentist because of the overall experience, but South side dental made me feel very comfortable from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. They were very professional, very courteous, very organized and overall just exceptionally nice people. I wish this dental practice was closer to my home as I am just visiting for the time being. I would definitely recommend this dental practice to anyone in the area. Thank you southside dental!

PHENOMENAL service! I had an emergency at 3:20pm and my dentist couldn’t see me, Southside had an opening and quickly fitted me, fixed me up and everyone I encountered was SO friendly and reassuring. I’ll probably transfer my dental care to them after today’s experience.

On my recent visit, I was very impressed with the offices safety procedures. I felt completely safe. Ive been a patient of Dr. Spanos for about 20 years, but this was my first chance to meet Dr. Nasworthy. His warm personailty instantly put me at ease is discussing my long-postponed consult with a periodontist. With that kind Georgia accent, I swear he could convince me anything was no big deal. Hahaha. Love this practice, especially the wonderful hygenists!!

South Side Dental was wonderful! They were able to get me in to see someone in a timely manner. They were very professional and friendly during my entire visit.

Dr Spano and staff have been great in spite of covid and the complications of my tooth. Look forward to getting the crown.

Really think this dentist is awesome. But - I am seeking a new dentist due to miscommunication given to me by the support staff. The classic bait and switch. Tell you one thing one time and then do a classic turn among the next time with exactly opposite information.Then when I tried to clarify the communication I had, I was told, Well we dont know who you talked with as if I am being dishonest.Yep if I cant trust the business, despite liking this dentist - I must go elsewhere.Buyer beward
