Dr. Barbee and his staff are nothing short of top notch. Very personable and friendly. Expect to learn a thing or two about nature while in the lobby, as stunning wildlife documentaries are always playing in HD. Ive never bemoaned going in for a cleaning / check up with Dr. B and I never will. Highly recommended.

I’ve been going to Dr. Barber since I was seven, and I am always made to feel at home. Their staff is always friendly, and walks me through my dental hygiene regimen to ensure I continue to have exceptional oral health for years to come. I’ve never gone to another dentist, and I never plan to!

Not everyone can say they enjoy going to the dentist, however I can. Its like visiting family. Everything is handled in a professional manner and I have always received the best of care. You couldnt ask for a better staff.

Dr Barbee and his staff are wonderful. They are kind, friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable! They were running late with appointments and called me in advance so that I would not have to sit in the waiting room. So thoughtful!

Ok, I hadnt been to the dentist in over a decade due to some really bad experiences, so I was terrified coming in the door! But from the moment I walked into the room, before I even sat down, Dr. Barbee was cracking jokes to make me feel more at ease. He explained everything as he went, was very calm and gentle, and totally dispelled my fears! The staff was super friendly and outgoing, making me feel even more welcome and comfortable. I had seen other reviews that said Dr. Barbee is the dentist for you if you are afraid, and I couldnt agree more! I promise you will be glad that you did!

I’m really happy to be a patient of Dr. Barbee’s. He is not only a talented dentist but a great story teller. He knows what’s going on in your mouth, and describes clearly the next steps. His team members nice and smiling people, who are really helpful. He referred me to his experienced colleagues for different operations who are also good at their practice. I recommend paying a visit to Dr. Barbee if you are new in town!

Mr Barbee and the entire staff are wonderful. If you have fears or anxiety about going to the dentist, I highly recommend this awesome dental team. They are kind, gentle, patient, understanding and friendly and very positive. I felt so comfortable with every staff member. As I was filling out first visit paperwork I noticed that the receptionist called patients by name as they came into the office. It was a very welcoming environment. I was in need of more advanced dental care for a root canal and what I appreciated was that Dr Barbee recommended a specialist and his staff was willing and prepared to help schedule the necessary appointment. I truly felt cared for and I felt confident I was getting the care I needed. If you are looking for experienced care along with a peaceful and friendly team, this is your new dental office.

Richard Barbee DDS MS and his staff (especially my hygienist!!) did a great job with education and sharing reasoning behind why we do the things we do for our dental health. Just because this is adult dentistry doesnt mean we dont need education!! They did an awesome job at that. The area was very clean and comfortable, and all the staff was very friendly. Best cleaning visit Ive ever had!

Review №14

Dr. Barbee’s office is wonderful. They were kind enough to examine me on short notice due to a broken crown. I’m usually anxious when I visit the dentist because my teeth are quite sensitive, but Dr. Barbee was very receptive to my concerns and made me feel at ease by explaining every procedure as he was working. The staff is friendly and helpful, and I’m so happy I found a new dentist that makes me feel comfortable and is accommodating to his patient’s needs!

Dr Barbee is gentle, compassionate, funny, and a great educator. He listened to my concerns, acknowledged my fears, and explained everything in a way that made me feel like he values me as a patient and as a person. Very thankful to have found this dental practice. I’ve been to other offices that make you feel like they view your teeth as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Dr Barbee’s staff is professional, friendly, and treated me like a friend and neighbor, not just another chart on the shelf. Thank you all SO much!

I was so impressed with the staff and Dr. Barbee. I had an urgent matter that needed attention. I was seen within a couple of hours and found out the problem. I would recommend Dr. Barbee and his staff for people who are afraid of dentists. Everyone was so king and took the fear out of the visit.

Dr. Barbee and his entire staff are wonderful! As a new patient, I felt very comfortable in their care. The new patient exam is thorough and really educational!

My wife and I havent been to the dentist in years, but have been SO pleased with the work and customer service weve encountered here. Dr. Barbee and his staff are kind, knowledgeable, and truly care about each and every patient...and they made getting fillings a fun experience...I promise. Also, the facilities are clean and also comfortable which adds to the pleasant experience.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Barbee for almost 20 years. He’s a great person and dentist. His office staff is top-notch. And, hygienist Rita (who provides most all my dental care) is the best! I’m an attorney and I know that my work must be good, but my success also depends on the work of my entire staff. That’s where Dr. Barber’s office shines!

Review №35

This was my first visit to New Dentistry. My phone calls for scheduling and other info were very helpful. Finding 2 of the 3 forms online to fill out prior to my arrival was easy as well. The office felt safe during covid-19 and masks were worn by everyone at all times; temperatures of patients were checked before going to the treatment area. They have measures in place for the office as well as their equipment that show that they are being very cautious during this pandemic.Sydney, the dental assistant, was friendly and performed her tasks with the patient in mind. Dr. Barbee was quite polite and explained everything thoroughly and his injection style was almost painless. My one disappointment, a very slight one, was that my full crown did not get completed during this visit. But I only have a one week wait to complete it all. This was a good experience!

Review №36

Very smooth visit. Dr. Barbee was so nice and thoroughly explained everything he was doing during a filling and checked in to make sure I was okay. The cleaning was great and the techs/receptionist, or anyone else in that office were very welcoming and kind.

Review №38

Dr. Barbee is the real deal! I’ve never had a dentist (or doctor or any medical professional for that matter) like him. He is on the cutting edge of dentistry and takes the time to get to know you, explain different treatment options (Including costs) without any pressure, and truly seems to enjoy what he does. Each hygienist I’ve met with has been top notch (although Rita is my favorite). I’ll never go anywhere else!

52 years of going to the dentist, I have NEVER EVER had a better experience. Trust me, I am not into the pain, which I had, ending in a root canal and crown. but the second to second care and respect that Dr Barbee and his assistants have for their patients is unmatched. My wife and 13 year old daughter have been going to him for a few years now, raving about how wonderful he is, as a dentist and a person, I basically thought, blah blah blah, every word of it was spot on. My only regret is I havent been going to him for the 10 years Ive been in Knoxville. thank you so much Doc for renewing my belief in taking care of my teeth. I am not saying cant wait for my next visit nobody wants to go to the dentist, but you sure make it a heck of a lot easier.

I called Dr. Barbees office after a crown came off over the weekend. The office personnel were very accommodating to my emergency. I was promptly given an appointment a few hours later. In the office the staff were very courteous and informative regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and how it relates to my emergency dental visit. As I was called back to see Dr. Barbee, they took my temperature, heart rate and asked the questions Knox county asked to my well being Before my appointment. This office has taken the patients safety very very seriously. They have mist containment aerosols to automatically kill and disinfect airborne, should they be any, among other safety measures.Everyone needing to see Dr. Barbee for services he offers should feel completely comfortable . I felt the office personnel were trained and most accommodating to my safety. If your looking for a Dentist, I would recommend Dr. Barbee as you one stop dental and hygiene specialist.Jimmy lane, Knoxville,Tn.

We just had our first visit with Dr Barbee and are extremely impressed. Dr Barbee is patient and kind. He really takes the time to get to know you and explain all of the procedures as well as how oral health supports, and is essential to, your overall health. I felt welcomed and comfortable during my entire visit. (And being a scientist I appreciated the details!)The care and compassion that this dentist and his staff display is paramount. I’m thankful that we chose this practice of skilled and wonderful folks. 12/10!

Dr. Richard Barbee is the most knowledgeable and caring person. Hes doing peoples visits the most pleasurable, with his smile, positive attitude, jokes. He made you smile, even if youre in pain. While he is working with your teeth, he is explaining to you every step that hes doing. It made you to feel relaxed and not stressed. I met many dentists before in my life, but non of them were competing with Dr Barbee. Unlike others, he is very honest and will tell you exactly what it has to be done. His staff was awesome too, very helpful. I met all of them with a great pleasure. Office was very clean and organized. Im highly recommending Dr. Barbee. I can guarantee you that after your first visit, you will never consider to search for another dentist. You will also save lots of money too, thats how honest he is! Im so blessed that I met him!

Ive never had a more comprehensive dental experience! Ive been to some great dentists, but nothing compares to the thoroughness at this office.They understand the link between mouth health and overall body health, so Dr. Barbee takes his time making sure not to miss early signs that can be treated.All of the staff help create a pleasant experience. I appreciate their sense of humor as well. Its clear they consider patients their friends.The only thing that would make things better is to hear more about holistic options.

Your teeth are something you dont want to save money on. I did that when my children were little. Went with a dentist that was on our dental plan. He put in unnecessary fillings. When i realized what was going on i found Dr. Barbee and he has been amazing! One time my daughter had a crown break CHRISTMAS day. She was flying to NY the 26th. It hurts me to even think about this but He came in on CHRISTMAS DAY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME DR BARBEE! for taking this long to post a review! You will not go wrong with this Dentist!

I called this dentist because mine was closed. I had an abscess come up on the roof of my mouth. It was painful and I was in a very bad mood. I was somewhat rude to him because of it. Not an excuse, just a reason. He was very nice and instead if trying to drain it to stop the pain like I expected, he did what was right and gave me antibiotics and sent me on my way.

Review №97

Dr. Barbee is both knowledgeable and personal. I could tell that he both cared about the current state of my teeth, 35 yrs old, and also the the teeth that I would have when I was in my 70s. Not only does Dr. Barbee deserve 5 stars but his staff does as well. From a very personal front desk staff to the amazing hygienist Rita you wont talk to anyone there that wont brighten your day. As for Rita I have to say she did an amazing job cleaning teeth. She explained everything she was doing and helped me to understand how I could help my teeth in the long run by doing a few things daily. For the first time in my life Ive stuck with flossing for longer than 2 weeks. If you are looking for a new dentist Dr Barbee office should be the first place you call.
