Collin Pillars

In this short review I cannot adequately convey the level of excellence I've experienced here from the waiting room to the most intensive of procedures. I cannot thank Dr. Meriwether and the staff enough and as long as I live here I will remain a patient and recommend this practice to any who inquire concerning a dentist.

Brooke Richwine

Are you kidding me??? The whole staff is the BEST!

Callie Ramin

Max Smith

FIRST CLASS DENTIST & STAFF 5 stars in areas of dental care

Tammy Parrett

Today was my second appointment with Stephanie. I was such a hot mess today and everyone was beyond sweet and willing to do whatever they could to help me on my bad day, which had zero to do with them. They had no obligation to be so sweet but it meant the world to me that they were. Not to mention how clean my teeth feel when leaving there. I would recommend them over and over again to everyone I know.

Jason Taylor

Always professional and courteous staff!!! You guys should be giving lessons to other medical providers

I will recommend Tuscaloosa General Dentistry a trillion times to friends & families. Thank you very much for the good work you do.

The dentist assistant was very friendly and listened to all my concerns. The dentist took the time to explain everything to me. I felt very comfortable there as a first time patient.

Kim Gee

Absolutely amazing. I will come back no matter where I am at. The best place ever.

Ari Miller

Every member of the staff in this office went above and beyond for me. I called in on an emergency appointment, to find out the next available appointment was in 4 days. I broke down. After hearing the desperation in my voice, they broke protocol to serve me. The office staff genuinely seemed to care about my situation and extended their own time, at the end of the work week, to make sure I was taken care of. Their legitimate concern for my well being, along with their compassion for their patients radiated. I have nothing negative to say about their patient- and quality-centric practice. Dr. Carlson comes from a very skilled and compassionate family and he lives up to the big shoes he has to fill. I HIGHLY recommend Tuscaloosa General Dentistry. Thank you again for the personal, amazingly fast, quality, and compassionate care.

Eric Heinrich

They knew me when I walked in!

Samuel Coleman

I love Tuscaloosa General Dentistry and how they treat everyone as family. Your health is their number one priority and they make sure you know that.

Ja'Kyia Horn

Superrrrrrrr sweet!!! Looking forward to our visits!!!!

Joanne Lukasik

i'm very grateful to have such a competent and professional dentist with all the most up-to-date equipment and procedures! in addition, the staff is always friendly, and their scheduling indicates that they are cognizant of and respectful of their patients' time as the wait times are almost nonexistent. the office is lovely, easy to find, and parking right in front of the building is typically plentiful. i recommend this dental practice without reservation!

Joe Sullivan

January 2018, excellent care, great explanation of subtle features of an x-ray showing cause of pain. Provided me with a prescription just in case the pain gets more severe before I can have treatment. I am moving to another state, so regretfully will need to find another dentist. Sure hate that part of my move. June 2017 follow up: Excellent care in every way. Hollie is great cleaning the teeth. Needed a filling, and Dr. Carlson was able to work it in the same day, saving me a drive from out of town. December 2016 Follow up: Dental care is an enjoyable experience with these folks. Excellent care and friendly people = wonderful experience. Five stars are not enough! I became a new patient because of a fractured crown, because of the many favorable reviews for Dr. Carlson, and because they were able to work me in the same day. So many things about the experience were exceptional beyond expectations. An important maker of quality in professional services, in which Dr. Carlson excels, is in communications with patients. He took the time to sketch out the reason my dental crown fractured as it did, giving me confidence about his insight into the process. He also mentioned that a replacement crown could be made with stronger material and furthermore thicker at the site of the fracture. He also continued to explain what was going on inside my mouth as the temporary mold was made, old crown removed, temporary one fitted, etc. This showed courtesy and consideration of the patient experience. Modern dental procedures are expected to be painless, which was certainly true in this case. I’ll reluctantly bring up the topic of a novocain injection, just to mention that I did not realize that was happening. (Dr. Carlson did not mention this was coming, probably a wise omission!) In the interest of not giving a “spoiler alert” I will not describe the cute diversion that took away my attention and prevented any anticipatory reaction. Yet another indication of consideration for patients executed superbly. The office staff is friendly and efficient. The chair even delivers a gentle back massage, helping to mentally relax. Although my appointment was at the end of the day, Dr. Carlson and Haleigh worked late well after the regular closing time and did not rush the procedure at all. When I left the whole parking lot serving the nearby professional offices was almost completely empty. I am not affiliated or related in any way with Dr. Carlson or anyone in his office, and met everyone there for the first time on my first visit there. I am grateful to the others who have posted favorable reviews that helped me find such exceptionally excellent service!

Good work, team!

Krystal Young

Stephanie did my cleaning and she was awesome! She constantly kept checking to make sure I was ok and not in any pain or discomfort. Dr. Meriwether was so nice and made sure I understood everything that was going on. When I walked in I was greeted by the staff and they were so friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great dentist!

Sirpeabody

I always leave with a brighter smile because my teeth are cleaned to perfection (best hygienist in town!) and I never have to wait for my appointment because they don't overbook! I wish all my medical visits were as cautionary (Dr. Carlson is always looking forward to maintaining a healthy mouth!), timely and courteous as what Dr. Carlson and his staff provide. Likewise, the office staff always greets me arriving/exiting like a family member with genuine friendliness. They also are quick to schedule a new appointment without me ever contemplating "Hmmm, when should I make a new one?" Who could ask for anything better? If you are looking for a top-notch professional dentist practice, in a great location with easy parking, you won't be disappointed with this dental office.

Possibly my best dentist visit ever. On my first visit, I was able to get a cleaning, find out I needed a tooth pulled, and was able to get that tooth pulled in no time. The assistants and nurses were extremely nice and polite. Dr. Carlson was also great and helped me get rid of an irritating problem. If I could give them more stars I would, easily.

KayKaye2017

Dr. Carlson and his staff are very professional and very courteous. They go above and beyond to take care of their patients. They are always prompt with appointments, I never have to wait. This is the best dental office. Try them out, you will not be disappointed. I usually don't write reviews, good or bad, but they deserve to really be bragged on!!! And Molly is a great hygienist. The whole staff is wonderful!!!!

Omniception .

Fast, friendly service. Dr. Meriwether and his dental assistant were warm, welcoming, and informative. As relaxing an experience as I could imagine involving high-speed drills. Based on this first impression, I would recommend!

Bobby Johnson

Very pleased with my first visit to Dr. Carlson! Both Dr. Carlson and his staff were very courteous and professional, and the price estimate that I received was much more reasonable than I had expected. Update 7/28/15: new dental work in place, and a total success. During the entire process, Dr. Carlson and staff were not critical in the least about my past dental negligence, opting instead to place 100% of their focus on what could be done going forward, and not only from a cosmetic standpoint, but also from a proper maintenance perspective. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Because of their attention to detail, I now feel confident in smiling widely again! And I have not done that in a very long time. :-D

Amy Britton

Dentists & hygenists do a good thorough job of cleaning, checking,& evaluating our teeth. Kind people:)

Brandy Johnson

I enjoyed the level of professionalism and the care that was directed towards me. Most of all, my teeth look great and even feel better!!
