Flu season is back so of course I got sick. Finding a health center that doesn't charge an obscene amount of money to be seen is always a struggle. It was the closest, same-day appointment center I found on Yelp. They take several types of insurance, including mine which only charged a $10 copay. They even have their own app where you fill out your symptoms and payment information right there.
Dr. Carl and Dr. Scott believe that an investment in state-of-the-art technology is an investment in you and your continued oral health. They are both lifelong students and continually stay up to date with emerging trends through continuing education and advanced training. Whenever they identify proven technology that will provide you with a more comfortable and efficient procedure, they invest in that technology.
Our team has a special place in their hearts for our youngest patients and will do everything to ensure they are comfortable and happy during their visits! At Elgin Family Dental, we enjoy treating patients of all ages, but we especially enjoy working with young children. When they are very young, we have the perfect opportunity to show them how to keep their precious smile healthy, and we value the trust you place in us to play that role.

I went in on an emergency basis, I was having tooth pain. They were able to see me the same afternoon. I just want to compliment the office staff and dentist for being so nice and helpful. Unfortunately I need a root canal but I will be back for my crown when it is done. Thanks for taking care of me.

To be clear this 1 star review is 100% due to their billing systems. I actually enjoy their dentists and hygienists. That said my family will not be back. This is one of those dentists that while up front paying the deductible you can ask them to make sure everything they plan on doing is covered by your insurance…they will tell you yes….then they will start mailing you bills. This has happened every time with them. This has never ever happened to me in the 12 years I have had this insurance. It’s just this dentist. Why when I ask you to make sure everything you do is covered by insurance

Watch out for this companies billing system. You cannot just pay your deductible and get your teeth cleaning and ex-rays. This is the only dentist I have ever had where I am constantly flooded with bills after what should have been completely covered by insurance. They are pretty over priced as well. They just lost our business over the principle of a $14 bill I should have not have ever received. Shame good dentists and hygienists terrible billing system.

I have only ever had GREAT experiences here! I have been going there for years and Dr. Scott Herring and his father run a great practice. All of the receptionist, and the hygienists are nice professional and very helpful, especially in the crazy covid times that we are currently living in. I live in the Austin/Pflugerville area, but find myself driving to Elgin just because I love going to this practice and don't think ill find another like it in the bigger city area. 100% recommend!

Went in with bad toothache, told Carl herring to pull it out. He said he couldn’t do it sent me to a oral surgeon. I went had it pulled at oral surgeon and asked if it was hard to get out he said no it’s just a simple tooth extraction. Took 10 minutes to pull it. So herring says he’s been in business for over 40 years but can’t even pull a tooth. That’s like going to a mechanic shop and they can’t change your oil. After 40 years he doesn’t seem to have confidence in his work. Yeah find a better dentist just my opinion

Elgin Family Dental always welcomes in, in a family way. In a family way, I mean to say I go there to get my mouth worked on and don't leave with my ears ringin'. Really enjoy the way the front desk staff handles dental hygiene, and really appreciate the hygienists and Dentists that make this place, a place to go back again and again, to keep a good smile and healthy well being!

First off, I'm admittedly that guy that waits too long to get to the doctor when there's a problem. Recently I had an issue with an infected tooth that required an extraction, which had me in considerable agony for some time. While the extraction was necessary, somewhat overdue and pretty straightforward, other medical issues of mine made the… procedure a concern. Despite being an obviously busy practice with many patients, Elgin family Dental accommodated me quickly. Peggy's calming demeanor and outgoing personality put me immediately at ease (Something not easy for some of us at the dentist

First of all I must tell you that I am terrified of Dentist in general but, from the time I stepped foot in the door of Dr. Carl Herring I have felt that they really do care about the Patient and not causing me pain of any type. Roxanne the Hygienist I saw (there are two and I only saw Roxanne) is a Rock Star. Dr. Herring is extremely gentle and kind in how he treats you. I never felt anything including the inevitable shot. If you want a Dentist and Hygienist that will not hurt you, does a great job and will do a great job of working with your budget and your insurance, then I would highly
