PATIENT REVIEWS

Most people usually dread going to the dentist but when you have great staff. It’s like your visiting friends. Service is thorough, painless, and they handle all insurance paperwork. Even the most nervous patient can be put at ease knowing that they are going to get the best treatment with the utmost patience. That’s why I have enjoyed being a patient for the past 18 years. I would definitely recommend Dr. McLendon and staff.

I absolutely, highly recommend And loved Erin Mclendon as a dentist. The office staff was very polite, friendly and professional. The office was very clean, and wait time was minimal. Dr. Mclendon, made me feel very comfortable, she and her office staff has the best bedside mannerisms, Which is very hard to find nowadays. The treatment plan was explain to me, and I was give a printout of the treatment plan, With prices, no guessing or surprise cost. I felt like I was around family, Dr Mclendon you “Rock” , I will Highly recommend you. Thank you and your staff for the excellent service you provided. Blessings to you and your staff.

I started using Dr. Mclendon after a bad experience with my last dentist. The staff is super friendly and the doctor has made me comfortable with going to the dentist again. The hygienist was very informative and gentle. I am particularly impressed with her careful use of numbing agents. Before we got started on my first filling in her office, I thought she didn’t numb me enough because I could still feel my cheek and tongue. Turns out she numbed it just enough to numb the tooth she was working on. I could actually eat and talk afterwards! She doesn’t overbook either. I’ve never had to sit in the waiting room in this office for more than a couple minutes. They always bring me back right away.

I’ve been going to Dr. McLendon for the last couple of years. I’ve had bad experiences with dentists in the past and have always left feeling put down and embarrassed about the work I needed. Everyone at Dr. McLendon’s office is so sweet and helpful without being at all judgmental. Pam is my fav! They even worked with me on payments from the very beginning. I’d recommend them to anyone!

I was referred to Dr. Fulbright by an acquaintance, but she was unavailable. As this was a bit of an emergency (broken tooth, but didn’t know that at the time), I was scheduled with Dr. McLendon. From the moment I walked in until the appointment was over and I started home, I was treated more like family than a patient. The staff is absolutely fantastic here. They had an in-room x-ray done within five minutes of taking me back and had it on the screen in front of me so I could see everything they were seeing. Dr. McLendon came in, introduced herself, and could immediately tell that I had a horrible fear of being at the dentist. Her bedside manner calmed me immediately, and I actually enjoyed my time there. However, due to the damage to my tooth, she referred me to an oral surgeon (Alamo Maxillofacial, whom I have reviewed as well). But she took an interest in me and my history, which really was one of the main factors in how at home I felt. I will be back to see her for all my dental needs – even as much as I dread going to the dentist – because I know they care and are great at what they do. I cannot recommend Dr. McLendon highly enough. I just wish I had found her sooner.

It’s unfortunate that one patient has given such a bad review here, apparently due to an administrative mixup of some sort.  But the idea that all the great reviews here are bogus is ridiculous.  Dr. McLendon is simply the best dentist I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to quite a few in my 66 years.  Friendly and caring, yes, that’s nice, but she’s also supremely skilled.  As good as she is, she could call me names and tell me to just sit down and shut up and I would still go to her  Nothing she has ever done has given me even a twinge of pain, and she’s done some serious work on my mouth.  Just the best.

My husband and I were surprised more patients haven’t taken the time to rate Dr. McLendon.  She is such a great dentist that after moving to Austin almost five years ago, we still return to San Antonio for Dr. McClendon’s services.  She is professional, friendly, gentle and thorough.  We trust her expertise.  And Pam, her hygienist, gives the BEST cleanings we’ve ever ha

Of course no one likes going to the dentist but what’s worse then going and getting a horrible experience! that’s the case i had with the last practice i went to. I was in need of more work so my co-worker recommended i try Dr. Eric McLendon since she was a regular there and told me that they were awesome! When i arrived i was greeted with smiles and i was seen pretty quickly considering i was a new patient! I was taken care of by Monsty who was very informative on what she was doing which made me feel SUPER comfortable. We chatted the whole time! The Doctor (Erin) then walked in to assure me that i was in great hands and explained to me what we were going to be doing that day. I really do appreciate the staff they have as they were very attentive and made me feel super comfortable and cared for! I usually don’t write reviews but i thought everyone should know that when they go to this practice they will be treated awesome! i have another scheduled follow up in about 3 months and needless to say i’m pretty excited! lol 🙂 Definitely will be coming back for any other procedures i may need!

Update 5 years later since the office just responded to this review: We went to the office one more time after my initial review – it wasn’t the same experience. It was more difficult scheduling appointments the second time, and the office visit did not go as smoothly. While I wouldn’t call it awful, it was enough for me to try another dentist referred by a friend of a friend. I eventually found a third dentist just outside of Stone Oak who we felt super comfortable seeing for the remainder of our time in San Antonio (military family). I would not tell you not to go to McLendon, I liked her. If you want to stay in Stone Oak, go to her. The second experience just didn’t make the 5 stars on customer service experience for me. Docking one star from my original 5. My one complaint now is that they still send us appointment reminders when we haven’t been in years…and they send them to our address in South Carolina. That’s a little silly if you ask me, and wasteful. Original 5 Stars Review below… I’ll start with the bottom line in case you don’t want to read the whole review – if you are looking for a dentist in San Antonio (especially in the Stone Oak area), go to Dr. McLendon. I procrastinate and have had “schedule dentist appointments” on my to do list for a year. I finally decided on Dr. McLendon after looking at reviews on Angie’s List and dentists who accept my insurance (through tricare). I was able to request an appointment online (so much easier for me than calling). Within a day,

Our family has been going to Dr. McClendon since she opened her practice and we love everyone in the office! They treat us like family and we think of them the same way. They have been caring for our daughter’s from their very  first dental visits and my orthodontia. They are loving, knowledgeable, professionals who care for patients like their family. We highly recommend Dr. McClendon to everyone is San Antonio!

Dr. McClendon and her staff are terrific. Both parents and our two older children (6 and 3) are patients at her practice. The office staff is great about reminders and scheduling, the hygienists are very gentle when cleaning, and Dr. McClendon is very thorough with her examinations. She also keeps up with the literature – her hygienist noticed first, and Dr. McClendon confirmed, that the 6 year’s enlarged tonsils are likely causing her maxilla to be too small, which will cause problems with crowding in the future. Dr. McClendon recommended we see an ENT to discuss tonsil removal – when I mentioned this to our ENT, he said that that Dr. McClendon’s observations are a sign that she is a very good dentist. So basically – I highly recommend her dental practice for both adults and children. She’s better than the previous dentists we have seen, both adult and pediatric, in our former location of metro Boston.

Yes, the last name is the same because Dr. Erin McLendon is my daughter-in-law. That notwithstanding, she is an outstanding dentist who has literally rebuilt all my teeth. I was a grinder and had little left to work with, but she did it and did it beautifully. I’m not only proud to have her as my daughter-in-law, but I’m also proud to have her as my dentist.

Dr. McLendon has been my dentist for years and I have always been happy with the treatment provider by her, by her staff and in general.  So much so that she now treats my wife and my oldest daughter’s entire family, which includes two of my precious five grandchildren!  I appreciate the care Dr. McLendon and her staff provide and I try very hard to treat them with the same level of consideration they provide regarding appointments, payment, etc.

My family and I have been going to Dr. McLendon since she began her practice on San Pedro.  The office staff is welcoming and professional and Dr. McLendon provides exceptional up to date dentistry with a gentle touch.  Our family spans four generations since my 90 year old mother, my daughter and my grandson are all patients of Dr. McLendon!  The office values the patient’s time and you are seen promptly.  By the time you are ready to leave, the front office staff are ready to make your next appointment and check you out.  I would also like to  give a shout out to Pam, my hygienist, who does a great job!

My son and I both go to Dr. McLendon for our dental care, and have ALWAYS had great experiences. The staff is professional, efficient and very thorough. My son is not afraid, as he was with a previous dentist, because they make him feel very comfortable. I would recommend this office to anyone, young or old, seeking dental care. I just read a posted negative review. I’m not saying they are lying about how they felt, but our experience (over several years) has been completely different. Accusing someone of trying to max out insurance is ridiculous. Maybe Dr. McLendon’s office found issues with his teeth because they are thorough and good at what they do, instead of just rushing a patient through like they are a number. I feel bad that this person feels that way, because, in my opinion, they are missing out on a great dentist and great service.

I’ve lived in several cities over the years which means I’ve seen a lot of dentists in my day. It all comes down to trust. This one avoids all the pitfalls that make you wonder if you made a mistake getting into the chair. The doc knows her stuff.  The staff is friendly and capable. The office is clean and convenient.  And best of all, you won’t be turned over to some lady in the ‘business office’ whose job is to pressure you into handing over a down payment on some overblown treatment plan. Simple, honest dentistry is nice to find!

Dr. McLendon and her whole team are very professional, curteous, and efficient. I know that I am getting quality care and everyone at the office makes one feel welcome. I have to say that also some procedures I had done at this office were the least painful I had ever experienced. They take you on time, perform great work, and make your visit to the dentist actually a pleasant experience. I can only recommend them.

Have been a patient of Dr. McClendon and her staff for more than a decade and have nothing but praise for the service, the care, the attitude and the professionalism of the doctor and her staff. Love this crew and appreciate how they make a trip that used to cause angst in my family to a trip that I look forward to. Thanks!

We have been going to Dr McLendon for years. As a matter of fact, I can’t believe how many years it’s been. She and her staff are always friendly and professional. Special shout out to Pam who is so sweet. This last visit she asked me if I knew what I was having for dinner. I said no and then asked her why she was asking me that, thinking that she was going to tell me I shouldn’t eat this or that and also thinking I didn’t think my teeth were that bad! She said she was looking for suggestions because she was headed to HEB after work. Talk about laugh! Thanks for a great finish to my exam!

I have been going to Erin since she arrived at this location. She is delightful and thorough with her work. Pam has cleaned my teeth many times and is cheerful and sweet and gets them clean. My three year old has felt comfortable getting her teeth cleaned and examined with McLendon and I’m super glad that we can go to the same dentist. And extra perk, they offer complimentary coffee and tea in the waiting room.

Went in as a new patient for a check up and cleaning. Very nice staff, didn’t have to wait long and was professionally treated. Erin did an outstanding job and really went over the issues and solutions for my various dental challenges. Seem to have the latest technology in dentistry and have an overall pleasant office environment. I am very positive that I have found my new dentist.

I have been bringing my Children to Dr. McLendon for the past year. I am very pleased with how streamline their process it and how great they are at follow through. My son needed to get his wisdom teeth removed and they referred us to one of the best oral surgeons in the city. They made sure he got his appointment in and was taken care of. They are great at keeping safety standards for their patients and staff. Very clean facility and Montsy (our hygienist) is very professional and friendly, both of my children are very at ease with her.

Dr. McLendon and her staff are wonderful at everything: courteousness; diligence and their ability to explain conditions are all top-notch. They made my two root canals painless, and they assuaged my fears regarding my teeth. They were empathetic, yet realistic about what I needed to make them better. Dr. McLendon is so knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. She explains her treatments in great detail, and it is very apparent that she cares about her patient. Brittany, the Dental Assistant, is great. She can do my mouth X-rays without making me gag, she has a good sense of humor and she’s always on top of her game. Brittany, the Office Manager, is incredibly friendly and willing to work with patients when it comes to payment plans. Monica did my cleaning – she is good-natured and showed me a technique for brushing the back of my teeth. Ray is great, as well! I know I’m rambling and sound like a sycophant, but I have nothing but positive things to say about the office. I will continue to go to Dr. McLendon for as long as I remain in San Antonio.

I avoided the dentist as much as possible, because of some bad experiences in my past. Well I needed a dentist for one of my older children & asked for suggestions from my Facebook friends. Someone suggested Dr. Mclendon & I tried her. After his treatment, I made an appointment to see her myself. She completely put me at ease. After checking out my x-rays & checking my teeth, she explained everything I needed to have done. She didn’t scold me for not coming to the dentist regularly. I have never had such a good experience with a dentist in my whole life going back to childhood. I have taken more of my children there, even my 6 & 8 year olds and she was great with them too. Her whole staff is awesome as is she. Getting an appointment is easy. When I go to set one up it is usually when would you like to come in. I can’t say enough about this office. I found the best dentist! I am a patient for life

I have been a patient of Dr. McLendon since she opened this practice. Every interaction is professional, considerate and made so that I can tolerate it. This may sound like faint praise, but it is the opposite. I am a huge dental phobe. In the past, I have needed some sort of sedation just for cleaning. That is not the case in this practice. Dr. McLendon is so gentle and does beautiful work. Her concern is the health of your teeth.

The good: Always decently on time with a 15 min wait max if you arrive at your appointment time. The better: I have been going here since I was in high school (about 10 years), and will continue to go here. I can’t speak for all the technicians, but I can speak for Dr. McLendon when I say that she genuinely cares for her patients and is gentle with my teeth while also thorough. The best: Dr. McClendon has always listened to my mouth and bodily concerns while actually caring about what I had to say. For example: she is careful around sensitive areas, always puts Vaseline on my lips if chapped, and asks pertinent questions. Procedures done here:

I have used Dr. McLendon for my dental needs since I returned to San Antonio in 2010. The staff is always friendly, making appointments and check-in is always easy. Rescheduling appointment conflicts is done with no issues. I use the retired military dental care insurance and there is never an issue with payment for treatment. Using phone text reminders for my appointments is really convenient. Dr. McLendon and her staff are very knowledgable providers. They are very sensitive to the care and comfort of their patients. If you are nervous about seeing a dentist, I highly recommend using Dr. McLendon. I am always treated with care and respect in each visit and I feel fully confident and comfortable during all treatments.

I’ve been going to Dr McClendon’s office for years.  I even convinced my husband, who is very opposed to any change, to go there too.  He has now been a patient for several years too.  My children have been going there since they were babies.  My son has sensory issues and I never thought I’d see the day he’d sit on the chair by himself and get his teeth cleaned.  At 4, just this month, he did!  Dr. McClendon and all the staff are very gentle and patient.  Pam is usually my hygienist and she is awesome.  A few years ago I went to a dentist next door to my office just to get a free consultation on Invisalign.  The dentist was amazed at how clean my teeth were and asked who my hygienist was.  There does seem to be a bit of staff turnover, but hopefully the office will find a good fit and it will stabilize.  Brittney has been at the front office a long time and she is always courteous, very knowledgeable and very helpful.

Dr McLendon and her staff are outstanding; so personable, professional and sensitive to your fears. They are responsive and thorough in their work. I needed them for an emergency and they had someone come in ON A SATURDAY EVENING! Their state of the art office identified root canals that I needed and they worked well with my Endodontist. My teeth are in great shape for a 60+ years old woman. And now… I’m getting them whitened!

I went here because of how great the reviews were, let me tell you words cannot describe how great they are! Everyone is very passionate about there job and you can tell its a wonderful place to work at. The staff are amazing and had me laughing a lot! I was assisted by Veronica who took my xrays, Pam who cleaned my teeth and Erin reviewed what work needs to be done. My teeth have never felt cleaner. By far the best dentist I have been too throughout my life thus far. Thank you for being so kind and taking the time to take care of me! And… For cleaning the heck out of my teeth .. 😉

I actually found Dr. McLendon based on the five star review given to her on yelp.  I called, made my appointment for a cleaning, and had the best experience I have ever had at a dentist’s office.  I think my wait time might have been five minutes at the most.  Dr. McLendon examined my teeth and gave me a clear plan to fix the issues I wanted worked on.  I needed porcelain veneers and a whitening.  She did not try to sell me on anything other than what I said I wanted (other experience with the Dentist acting like a sales person really put a bad taste in my mouth…pun intended 🙂  When my front temporary veneer (put on by a different doctor) popped off and left me looking like a toothless redneck, Dr. McLendon came to my rescue right away.  She worked me into her schedule and had me back at work with a smile the same day.  Having paid for a porcelain veneer in the past, I knew how costly they could be.  The lady that handles their insurance claims worked with my insurance and got them to pay for almost ALL of the procedure that would have set me back months.  The group of women that work in this office all deserve a 5 star rating.  I have the best smile I have EVER had, and I am so thankful for the work ALL of these ladies put in to make that happen for me.

I highly recommend Dr McLendon, to anyone looking for a great dentist.  Dr. McLendon and her staff are awesome.  The put you at easy and make you feel comfortable.  They always great with a smile when you walk in.  I’ve had some deep dental cleaning and fillings done with great results.  So if you’re looking for a dentist, give Dr McLendon a call she’ll take care of all your needs.

I haven’t been to a dentist in over 20 years due to an extreme phobia, but a broken tooth forced me to schedule an appointment and chose Dr. McLendon on a suggestion from a friend. I am so glad I did. The staff are top notch and do everything they can to alleviate your anxiety. And Dr. McLendon was fantastic. She was quick to see me and had the staff assist with setting up my appointment with an oral surgeon to have the tooth extracted. I will recommend them to any and everyone I know.

The highest compliment I can give is I keep going there even after moving to the other side of town. Dr. McLendon’s work on my mouth is great. They provide excellent service and you are always greeted with a smile. Even the billing department is reasonable and looks to bill your insurer correctly the first time.

I came to Dr. McLendon at the suggestion of one of her patients. I had significant dental issues complicated by underlying medical problems. It was clear from the start that Dr. Mc understood the issues involved, and she set up a treatment plan so we could start moving forward. She is very good about explaining procedures and minimizing any pain. The entire office is run in a very efficient and friendly manner. Highly recommend!
