PATIENT REVIEWS

I hadn’t been to a dentist in five years! Five years of ignoring my dental needs. Five years of various excuses. With each passing year, it had become harder to motivate myself to go. It had truly become a sweaty palm type situation, but I decided I could not avoid it any longer lest I start losing my teeth at the ripe ol’ age of 28. My husband has been going to Dr. Schleicher literally his entire life so I knew this was the easiest way to get back on the proverbial dental health bandwagon. I am so happy I got it over with. Cavity-free thank you very much…but that is really irrelevant to the office experience. I will start from the beginning, the front office was friendly and efficient. My appointment was at 11:15, but I arrived early and they were able to see me at 10:50. How often does that happen?? Since it was my first appointment I had to do lots of x-rays. Now, again, I have not been to a dentist in five years so I want to talk about the technology in this office. I don’t know what type of tech is now standard in dentist’s offices, so this might be like me saying, “hey guys, cell phones now have color screens!” Everything was digital. I got to see my x-rays immediately and the hygienist and dentist were able to go through my pictures on the computer immediately. They also took 6 digital pictures of my teeth. This was helpful, but creepy. I don’t really enjoy looking at my bicuspids in x20 zoom, but I understand the purpose of it. Katie was my hygienist and she was so sweet and helpful. She did not scold me for my long absence, but instead welcomed me back and just gently reminded me of the importance of regular checkups. I saw Dr. Schleicher after my cleaning and we discussed some future issues I may have with some old fillings. He was very friendly and reassuring. Overall I had a very pleasant experience with Schleicher Dental and I will thank my husband, or I suppose my in-laws, for suggesting a great dentist office. The office is out in the Memorial/Spring Branch part of town, although I am an inner-loop snob it was barely 10 minutes from the Heights and conveniently located off of I-10

Ashley helped today with my filing and although I was very nervous about it hurting, she was so comforting and made me feel as at ease as she could. As a nurse, I know good patient care when I see it and she’s nothing short of the best! Dr. Schleicher knew I was nervous about the anesthesia shot so he told me he would do as much as he could without anesthesia and because it was small, we ended up not needing the shot at all. Great group! No complaints and would highly recommend!

Parker-Read Dental is the BEST dentist office in Houston. I have been a patient for 20 years and i actually look forward to going to the dentist. My dentist is Dr Schleicher and he has taken care if my teeth perfectly always. Recently i had my front 8 teeth crowned and i look 15 years younger with my gorgeous white smile. It is simply amazing and people cannot tell what I did except they notice that i look awesome. It is my teeth!!! Dr Schleicher is so experienced and the entire staff at Parker-Read are exemplary, as I have many friends who go to them. They are a beautiful, fun and funny group, including the front desk, hygienists, and everyone in-between. I HIGHLY recommend Parker-Read, you will love your experience and their high-tech, cutting edge state of the art practice 6 STARS!!!!!

We have been going to this dental practice for over 30 years. It’s one of the largest dental practices in Houston with the latest technology and most dental insurance is accepted. This is a high-quality VIP style dental practice but I always treat every customer with a high degree of respect. Everyone is friendly and the dental cleanings all the way to the implants and teeth whitening are always excellent.

I came to Dr. Schleicher’s office with an emergency as half of my front crown had cracked completely off! He and his wonderful staff were very professional and he immediately made a temporary crown that looked great. I had a follow up appointment to have the 6 front crowns replaced. His knowledge and expertise was impressive and he performed the work with just two visits. He and his assistant Sheree listen and really care about your concerns, and are determined to have you leave with beautiful results that you feel comfortable with. I know many of his staff have been there for years and I can see why, the friendly and caring atmosphere along with the state of the art equipment and continuous education in the field left me feeling so grateful and very satisfied with my new smile. I highly recommend Dr. Schleicher and his team!

Love Dr.Schleicher and all his staff! I have been a patient of his for 30 years and my whole family use this practice too. Rochelle takes great care of us and is really wonderful when scheduling,or rescheduling, if you need to change appointments. Gabby was the assistant this past visit and she was amazing. All the hygienists are great too!

Excellent!! I found this office several years ago when I had a dental emergency. I looked online and saw that this was close to me (at that time) and rated highly. I gave them a call and they fit me in the next morning. I have had nothing but excellent service ever since. I like that there are multiple dentists (each with their own specialty) under one roof. I was there yesterday and the level of care they give is second to none. They tell me “like it is” and explain all options and reasons why. I really do feel like part of the family when I am there. Never have I had that experience in any other dentist office. I have seen both Dr. Schleicher and Dr. Parker and they both are very professional and take time to go over any questions you have. The hygienists are also amazing! Very kind, gentle and professional. The front staff is always warm and welcoming. I really cannot say enough kind words. I am a loyal client and will continue to refer my friends and family here.

I’ve been a patient here my entire life – when Dr. Schleicher was a one-man operation. I think we all dread going to the Dentist to some degree, but I can’t think of one bad experience here. It’s professional, efficient, super-courteous and generous, and most insurance are accepted. I highly recommend this office; please take yourself/your family and go see for yourself!

I have been going to this dentist office and being treated by Dr. Hans Schleicher since I was 3 years old. I am now 39. They take excellent care of my teeth. They are so accommodating about scheduling and they make sure you are comfortable with everything. It can be so nerve racking having to have dental work done, they make it feel like a cake walk! And, I love my dental hygienist, Angela. She is so thorough and kind to my teeth, i could not ask for better. If you’re a big sissy like me when it comes to dental appointments, then THIS IS YOUR PLACE!

I’ve been a patient with the Schleicher, Read and Parker dental group for 6+ years. I continue to be highly satisfied and pleased with the level of care, knowledge and experience offered by every team member. The office environment/culture is pleasant and professional. I’ve been cared for by Kellie George for a period of time and want to pass along praise and recognition for her professionalism and all-around awesomeness. I was treated by her this morning and I always walk out with a bigger (and cleaner) smile! She’s personable and always takes the time to remember the small details of a patient’s personal life which speaks to her personality and character

I’ve been seeing Dr. Schleicher for five or six years now, starting back when I was having muscle twitching and spasms on one side of my face because I clench and grind my teeth at night. The issue had been going on for over a year and I was skeptical that it was being caused by TMJ, but was desperate to get it settled down. Dr. Schleicher (noting my symptoms and the extreme wear on my teeth caused by grinding) immediately had me fitted for a special TMJ appliance that he had designed–one that was different than the night guard I had been given by my last dentist, because the Schleicher appliance kept my back teeth from being able to touch or clench at all. He was patient in explaining how the device works and very accommodating through various appointments in which we worked to get the appliance fitted just right for my particular bite and jaw shifting during sleep. I’ve been wearing this device every night now for the last several years and I can’t speak highly enough of how much it’s helped me. No more jaw/temple discomfort and no more muscle twitching! If I go a night or two without wearing it, I can definitely tell, as my jaw and the surrounding muscles complain the next morning. I’ve also been very happy with all of my visits to S-R-P to get my teeth cleaned; their hygienists are wonderful and their office is very comfortable, with great customer service. If I need any adjustments to my appliance, I simply mention that when I make my cleaning appointment and get conveniently scheduled in to see either Dr. Schleicher or their lab technician, who can usually make on-the-spot or same-day adjustments. I highly recommend that TMJ sufferers (or migraine sufferers–anyone who suspects they may have a TMJ problem!) make an appointment, follow the recommendations and give it time to work. I didn’t think anything could help the muscle issues I was having, but this appliance made a huge difference for me

OK I am not someone that posts reviews ever, but I just am so excited I had to do this. I have been a long time patient of Dr. Schleicher. He treats my whole family and he and his staff have been just terrific over all these years. About three years ago I was diagnosed with sleep apnea – I just thought I was slowing down due to my age – not so – turns out I am so tired all the time because I was not getting any sleep and the oxygen was cut off to my brain due to the blockage in my throat! My MD had prescribed a mask that blows air into me called a CPAP. It worked but I could not wear that stupid thing so I just quit. I felt like crap most of the time and mentioned it to Dr. Schleicher when I was in for my check up – he had the answer! Turns out he has been treating people for years with dental appliances for snoring and sleep apnea. Long story short, I got my appliance and within a week I felt like I had gone back into my youth – more energy – more clarity in my thinking – not tired anymore at 11:30 in the morning. My wife cannot believe the difference – plus I don’t keep her up anymore with my snoring cause that’s gone too. Thanks Dr. Schleicher for giving me my life back. His assistant’s name that helps is Hido and he is awesome too. If you snore or have sleep apnea check this office out they can help!!! Tyler A Houston, TX

I have been coming here for a couple of decades now, long enough to see a nearly complete turnover of the doctors in the practice. And I have terrible teeth, so I’ve visited often. Throughout all of that, the quality of care I received and the friendliness, cleanliness and efficiency of the operation has never wavered. And they keep up with the latest technology, so they’ve had 3D X-rays and crowns milled in house for years now. Really just the best dentists I could ask fo

I have been going to Parker-Read Dental for 20 years. Started with Dr. Schleicher, who is fantastic, and now with Dr. Read, who is amazing. Very knowledgeable and professional. I have had many dental procedures including root canals and implants and each of my experiences with both doctors has been virtually pain free and top notch. Office staff, dental assistants, and hygienists are also wonderful. I highly recommend Parker-Read.

Parker Read Dental was there for me when I fractured a molar last Sunday evening. I emailed them for an appointment and they called me the next morning by 7:45am and got me an appointment at 2pm. I saw Dr. Nicholas and Sara was my dental assistant. I have a terrible gag reflex and they were so kind and patient with me, keeping me distracted with various tricks to help me get through the exam and treatment (crown) with as little stress as possible. Their technology is top-notch. They even had a prepared video for me to watch that explained the procedure. I have also seen Dr. Schliecher in the past and he is wonderful too. Dr. Nicholas created a beautiful crown that exactly matches my existing tooth in less than an hour! I definitely recommend Parker Read Dental–they are kind, compassionate, and competent.

Fantastic experience. I went for second opinion, Doctor Hans Schleicher is very professional, patient and friendly. He made me feel very comfortable and also he is excellent human being, not greedy. Ashley his dental assistant was fun, energetic and friendly. Great experience, not pressure at all, painless, understanding….. definitely recommend to anyone

I have been seeing Dr. Schleicher for over ten years and they are always at the top when it comes to friendliness AND technology. He created and installed a marilyn bridge for my front teeth that nearly no one notices. Recently I visited him with a gum infection and was one of the first patients to try the barely 1-month old laser treatment for gum tissue infections. The proof is in the pictures- and how I feel! The gum went from horribly swollen and red to completely normal in barely over 24 hrs. This procedure is so new that even Dr. Schleicher was surprised at the results! Instead of waiting weeks for the infection to go down with antibiotics, Schleicher’s technology worked instantly and effectively.

This dental practice is at the top of their game and using the absolute latest and greatest technologies! I was pretty much amazed when the need for a crown was diagnosed, made, and seated in one visit, 2hrs time! With the crown being made on the spot, we don’t have to leave with a temp or come back for the final one. And it’s made to fit perfectly! Dr’s Read and Schleicher are super and take time with you; they care! The hygienists are wonderful and so thorough and you walk out with a take home hygiene kit. Ask for Gia! The office is impecible and comfortable; coffee and cold water are available; good music is played; and the nice staff make it the best! This is the place for YOU, too!!!

The reason I went to Parker Nicolas Read Dental, was to look into a device for my sleep apnea. I had been diagnosed about 3 years ago and was fitted with the CPAP machine, which I used for 2 years trying to find the right masks that worked for me. None did and as the masks would slip off or leak air all night keeping me awake, instead of aiding in my sleep. I quit using it after two years, as it simply didn’t work for me. I went a year without using anything which was a bad idea, as I have had open heart surgery and needed something to aid in a good nights sleep, so my heart wouldn’t overwork at night, which was what was happening. I went to see Dr. Hans Schleicher who explained how the device worked, and what it could do for my sleep apnea. I did go ahead and purchase this device and have found that it has worked just as he explained, and find I’m sleeping much better and and know that I’m taking the stress off my heart. This ProSomnus device that was recommended, is so easy to get use to and I find it to be comfortable, once adjusted to it. Their staff is friendly and very helpful and professional, and I have since decided to use them for all my dental needs. A very professional dental practice

Very welcoming, very friendly! Every staff I encountered seemed very kind and made sure to welcome me for my first time at this dentist. A friend recommended them to me, and I’m glad they did. I was impressed with the clean and comfortable waiting area — they even often beverages upon arrival which was a nice touch. They were thorough enough to show you all of your xrays and photos in front of you so you knew exactly what the Dentist was referring– this was unique compared to other dentists I’ve been to, and I found it very helpful. A big shout out to Taryn, my dental hygienist, who did an incredible job and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. Easy parking and easy location. Glad to have found this dentist!

I’ve never felt happier to write a review for any dentist in my whole life. Since I’ve been under Dr. Hans Schleicher’s care, my feelings about being seen smiling have changed completely. I’m a musician/singer who works in public, and for the past ten years, those stage lights caused me great anxiety when I opened my mouth to sing or speak to my audience. In a very short period, Dr. Schleicher changed my world by giving me a smile I want to show anyone and everyone. I find myself smiling at people who pass me in cars while I’m walking my dogs, and when I’m on stage, I’m all smiles. All it took was six crowns to replace my upper front teeth, which had grown discolored and mishappen with age (I’m 61). Dr. Schleicher took care of this in three visits; first to take impressions, second, to painlessly prepare my natural teeth and seat the temporary crowns, which looked simply beautiful, and the third visit had me leaving his office with a new lease on life. The time period required for this was a bit longer to make the most of my dental insurance. No visit lasted longer than two hours, and that was only once. I’ve had over 300 pictures of myself taken by a great photographer, JW Wind, at a club I’ve been playing for a year. My dental work was begun in late Nov. 2012, and finished in early Jan. 2013. I believe if you visit this page and see the difference in the most recent pictures, you’ll understand why I’ve taken this much time to praise Dr. Schleicher. Here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/rick.gordon.940/photos The page of pics begins with the most recent photos. You can click on any pic to blow it up. If you go down into the year 2012 maybe 13 rows, you’ll see what I looked like prior to Dr. Hans’ beautiful work. I think the Dr. is a true artist and I know I have nicer looking teeth than I’ve had in my life. There are other services that have been performed for me at this clinic, and with every visit, I left happier than when I walked in. I can’t imagine a Dr. and a clinic who will take better care of you than Schleicher – Read Dental. Rick Gordon

I have been using Parker Read dental for the past 10 years after being referred there from a rusted friend. My experience with Hans Schleicher, Sarah, and Angela, as well as their entir staff has been exceptional! In a society that has totally destroyed the meaning of Customer Service, It is refreshing to know that there is at least one company that truly does value its customers and treats them with true respect and professionalism. I highly recommend this group of people and this well known and established dental practice

The dental hygienists, staff, and dentists here have all been fantastic. They are professional, friendly, accommodating, and great at their jobs. There is a sign in the office that requests you advise the staff if you have been waiting longer than 15 minutes to see the doctor or hygienist – this mindset really sets the tone for an efficient and effective experience. One thing I have really appreciated is that they have not pushed unnecessary procedures (I hesitantly asked about braces to fix a crooked tooth, and the doctor’s response was “I can do it for you and it will straighten that tooth, but your teeth look great the way they are and are going to look generic after I give you braces. If you want them, we can do it, but they look great as they are”) but do a great job at the required procedures (filling repair for an old cavity). Highly recommended.

I was embarrassingly 10 mins late to my appointment and they were so understanding. They didn’t make me sit in the waiting room for too long as a revenge either. I had my 5mo old baby with me and the hygienist was so patient when my daughter started fussing. Another nurse heard my baby and asked to hold her and she changed her diaper without me even asking! Little things like that makes me want to become their patient for years – which I will. My husband is a patient there and he was the one who told me to go there bc he has always been pleased with his visits. Thank you for the great care and patience!

Easily the best dental practice we’ve had in our 68 years. We started there in 1994. Previous dentist could not get me numb for a crown, so I had to walk out with a half-finished job. Teacher colleague said go to Dr. Schleicher–he will fix you up. Dr. Schleicher got me numb immediately and finished the crown. My wife and I took our five kids there over the years. Had to leave for a while when employer insurance didn’t cover that practice. When we were able to come back, Dr. Nickolas diagnosed a painful, chronic infection from a cracked root, which our previous dentist couldn’t resolve, and I had been living with. I got the tooth removed and an implant put in, and things are perfect! Unfortunately, there are good doctors and not so good, and the latter have caused me a lot of grief. I’ve never had a bad experience with Parker Read Dental Group and I hope I never have to go elsewhere again!

Since I moved to Houston from Montreal, I have been looking for a dentist who would understand my needs as much as my Canadian dentist of 30+ years did. As soon as I walked in the door at Parker Read, I felt welcome. Dr. Hans Schleicher exceeded my expectations ! I felt comfortable discussing the different avenues and cost of treatments with him. I was also amazed at the professionalism of Angela Aldis – she did an amazing job taking the X-Rays and cleaning my teeth. I am looking forward to start my treatments and am convinced that it is the beginning of a beautiful and long relationship !

My husband and I have been patients of Schleicher-Read-Parker Dental Group for over 11 years. We have always been so pleased with the professionalism of the practice: from the doctor and dental hygienists to office staff. One of the most remarkable things that has come from our relationship with this practice is the nighttime mouth guard that Dr. Schleicher provided to my husband to correct his sleep apnea and snoring. After undergoing a sleep study and being told that he needed to wear a CPAP machine, my husband searched for less intrusive alternatives. Dr. Scleicher was able to customize the mouth guard for him and it has been life altering. No more snoring which means no more sleeping on the couch for him and a great night sleep for both of us! We are so grateful to Dr. Schleicher!

I would recommend Parker-Read Dental to anyone! From front desk to exit, everyone is so helpful and pleasant. I have never waited more than 5 min in the waiting room. The doctors and dental assistants are always very thorough and really explain your treatment plan in detail. They show you images and clearly explain what the issues are and why a procedure is being recommended. I always get seen quickly and everyone is always very optimistic and caring. You will not regret choosing Parker-Read Dental for your teeth!!

Schleicher-Read Dental is the best dental practice I have ever been to. I have been using Dr. Schleicher for many years and have and will always recommend him and Dr. Read to all my friends and family. They really care about your dental health and do their best to maintain your natural teeth but if that is not possible, they are prepared to offer many alternatives. They keep up with all the advances in new techniques and if there is something they do not do in their office, they have a list of specialists they work with. Their staff is friendly and courteous and make visiting the dentist something to look forward to instead of something to avoid. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great dental work in a friendly and pain free atmosphere

SNORE NO MORE! Who would think to go to a dentist for severe snoring? My daughter’s ENT recommended Dr. Schleicher as someone who could fit her for a dental device to treat her snoring problem. She is in college and needed relief. From the start, our experience with Dr. Schleicher and his team was first rate and professional. The office runs smoothly and efficiently, appointments run on time and personnel are courteous and helpful. More importantly, after a thoughtful review of the options for devices, Dr. Schleicher recommended a device by SomnoMed. It is a removable retainer-like device that extends the lower jaw during sleep to open up passageways for breathing. Within about three weeks of our consultation and fitting, my daughter was using the device. WOW! She quickly adapted to the device and her snoring problems virtually ceased. She has some bouts of heavy breathing, but nothing like the years of loud, disruptive snoring she experienced in the past. We call the SomnoMed and Dr. Schleicher the “Holiday Miracles.” Since December, my daughter is resting more comfortably and we hope this problem is behind us. Her roommates appreciate it, for sure! This is a life-changing development for my daughter. Check it out: somnomed.com I strongly recommend Dr. Schleicher and SomnoMed to anyone who has a snoring problem. The whole experience was outstanding

I have gone to Dr. Schleicher since he began his practice many years ago. Always he has taken care of my dental needs completely and in the best way. He is the best at diagnosing and treating unusual and routine dental problems as well as maintenance of my teeth. Recently I developed TMJ, could barely open my mouth, and my jaw felt as if it was coming out of socket. I went to Dr. Schleicher for help. He quickly diagnosed my problem and recommended an appliance for me to wear and I never thought my TMJ would get better so quickly. I have responded to his treatment well and can now reduce the daily time I wear the appliance. I can now eat normally with no pain or problems and continue to sleep with the appliance in place. I am so very pleased with Dr. Schleicher’s treatment and knowledge of all dental problems and would never consider going to anyone else. His practice is great as are all his assistants

Don’t go anywhere else. No kidding. You never have to worry about being overcharged, or receiving dental work that was not provided in a timely manner. It is the most friendly place and the experience, not withstanding you are having dental work done, is always wonderful! You can always feel confident that you are in good hands. Today, I had a crown put in front start to finish and I do not have to go back. And it was completely painlessly. If you are looking for a new place for your dental health, they will have your best interest at heart, as they do mine

My mother and I both suffer from horrendous TMJ. We would both wake up with awful headaches and start nearly every morning with an Advil. My mother went to the doctor for the first time around 2008 and I went to Dr. Schleicher for the first time about 6 months ago. He created a custom fit retainer that saves me every night! I no longer wake up with huge headaches! I once went on a five day vacation and forgot my retainer – I was miserable. It really does work and relieving stress in your temples and jaw. Additionally, I used to feel a pop in my jaw everytime I took a bit of something and that has decreased so quickly! I now never have to pop my jaw or get lockjaw. It’s awesome! Bonus points for the practice: the kindest, most easy going people in the world. I normally see Jairo and Sheree and they are a great part of my trip. Five stars! I will always come to Dr. Schleicher for any dental problems!

Dr. Schleicher is extremely professional and personable. The Somnomed he fitted to me works perfectly and I could not be more pleased with the results. My vitality and concentration have improved significantly to the point where I feel excellent as a result of using the device each night for sleep. It was worth every penny of its cost to feel good again due to using it each night. I’m thankful a device like it could be fitted to me so I did not have to wear a CPAP machine each night. The results were much quicker than I had thought they would be so that was a delightful and most welcome surprise. I would recommend their services and talents to anyone who is in need of getting a good night’s rest and may have breathing problems that a dental device could correct.

My dental insurance has changed several times over the past few years so I’ve been to a lot of dentists. First of all, the practice is professional and courteous when answering the phone and scheduling appointments. They also didn’t try to sell me extra things I didn’t need and they were able to process my insurance correctly. The dentist was nice but unlike other dentists he wasn’t creepily nice(c’mon you know the ones who have a one sided conversation with you in the chair about weird stuff). He made chitchat but didn’t go on and on about stuff which was refreshing because I’d rather him focus on drilling my teeth, you know? He did a great job and made sure I was not in pain. They got me in and out when they said they would and if you need a crown, this is the place to go as they did it quickly and make them in the office with one appointment.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
