Called in to reschedule my cleaning due to waking up sick that morning. I called them as soon as I could. The receptionist that picked up my call was rude about it. She told me I had to call in 24hrs in advanced. I wasn't sick 24 hours prior to my appointment... I asked to reschedule and she said they were "booked out for a while we'll call you back."... It's been like 6 months. This company is petty. DON'T BOTHER.

No one call to inform me about the appointment details or payment. I call them and then not communicate what the plan was the day I call. My appointment was the next day. Was not able to get seen. Because I was black

I've been coming to Kennedy Dental for 26 years because of the care they provide. The clinical staff are amazing & you are treated like family in a caring & supportive way. I live out of state & whenever I'm in town the front desk staff do their best to accommodate my limited time, which is much appreciated!

Let me just say how thankful I am for Dr. Thomas. I have EXTREME anxiety/ panic attacks with the dentist. He makes me feel very comfortable and the rest of the staff is always really nice. Abby is awesome, she always follows through on what she tells me. If she says she will get back to you, she will. Couldn't be happier.

Many years ago I brought my children to Kennedy for their appointments. They’re adults now, and have since moved away. I recall how efficient and effective they were on preventive dental care. When someone is looking for a referral, I mention Kennedy Dental!

Had a couple cavities filled by Dr. Anderson and his assistant. They did a phenomenal job, worked very well together. They get the job done and do not mess around.

Dr.Thomas is a wonderful dentist. He and his staff are amazing with my children. They put them at ease and are patient with any concerns the kids have. My cleanings and exams are always thorough, but never painful. My appointments are generally kept in time, which I appreciate. I highly recommend Dr.Thomas at Kennedy Dental as a family dentist!

I have been receiving dental care from Dr. Thomas since I was a child. When he retired, we started care with his son. Who is also just as wonderful and honest, by the way. I won’t go anywhere else! My son and husband come here, too! They’re honest dentists and hygienists and I believe that is a very critical characteristic in finding the right dental office!

Never have I found such incredible staff! Everyone is always smiling, so easy to chat with, and Dr Anderson is informative yet has good bedside manner. I live on the opposite side of Omaha and drive all the way through Omaha, past many dentists to go to this one because they are absolutely the best!

I've been seeing Dr Anderson for over 15 years, he understands how much I hate pain and will do anything he can to help me! He has worked on my basic needs, root canals, new crowns and replacing old crowns. He is the best!!!!!

I’ve been going here since ‘02. Never had a complaint. The work the Doctors do is always great quality, and the receptionist are always very kind and professional. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist.

The receptionist is very kind and helpful with scheduling my appointments. When i arrived they made sure to keep everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic by asking screening questions and taking my temperature once i arrived, as well as providing distanced seating in the waiting room and requiring masks. Sidney is a great hygenist and very kind and quick and Dr. Thomas is always kind and informative being sure to give quality care every visit!

I have been a patient of dr Engel for 24 years. I have undergone a multitude of procedures from basic fillings, breaks, bridges, crowns, implants - you name it I have likely had to deal with it. Mel has helped with numerous issues and I would recommend them to everyone I talk to. Dr Engel is patient and incredible at resolving painful problems and his cosmetic work is phenomenal.

A nice experience with this group. They are upfront and personable, not trying to pull a fast one on you at all.

Today we had our first appt w Dr Rakes, pediatric dentist. I was blown away by how friendly the staff was! I took 3 kids in & all the ladies were so friendly, chatting away w the kids, etc. They even opened up the dental area door & told me to just come straight in. Some places prefer you to wait in the lobby but it was great to be able to walk around as I pleased. It may have been due to the fact I had 3 kids getting cleaned all at once & there wasn't anyone else there but still, it was appreciated. 3 kids were cleaned, checked out by Dr Rakes & two future appts were

After using this practice for seven years, I would highly encourage you to look elsewhere. New management has taken over or they have changed their policies. I could not get a receipt of the services provided after asking several times, so my Flex Spending account has been frozen. I missed an appointment and was charged a $50 fee - probably standard policy for some places, but when I have given this practice several thousands dollars over the years, it is insulting.

The good news is that businesses that treat their customers poorly will lose customers and will cease to exist.
