A few years ago, I had a really bad experience with another dentistry that made me never want to go back.

Recently, I decided to take another chance and find a new dentist. I have to say I am so happy I found Kaw Valley Family Dental. They have helped me with 2 wisdom teeth extractions and a cleaning so far. My teeth have a long way to go, but the best part about this place is that I do not feel judged or humiliated by anyone. It made me so happy and I cannot wait to get my teeth fixed finally! Thank you Dr. Atchison and staff for helping me out!

They are also so nice for letting my husband attend my appointments to ease my anxiety.☺️ read less

So when I took her to one who was recommended she was terrified and they did a horrible job with her . Her Granny found Forum Dental and she saw Dr. Jyothsna Meda and she was absolutely 💯 wonderful with her. I was very pleased and I want to see her myself. My family will continue to go there for all of our dental care. Please don't let her leave! Jill Piatt read less

They take the time to create a dental plan for you, explain each step of the plan, and provide an estimate of the cost along with what your insurance will cover. Scheduling an appointment is quick and easy. They send appointment reminders via text, email or phone calls. I highly recommend this dentist and his team if you have anxiety about seeing a dentist!

In a nutshell-
-friendly and knowledgeable staff
- easy to follow dental plan and cost breakdown
-clean and modern facility
-clean restrooms
-easy scheduling
-appointment reminders via text, email and phone call
-if you are late to an appointment they call to make sure you are okay
-appointments are never rushed read less

I was resigned to the fact that I couldn't afford the $240 bill and was leaving in pain, a level 15 on a 1-10 scale, it was that debilitating. Then this angel, Dr. A, came to see me. Although they couldn't proceed with the necessary extraction, she offered me much needed relief from the pain with an exam, analgesic shots to quite my face and head pain, an Rx for antibiotics and motrin. Some may say this is the least they could do, I say it saved my sanity and quite possibly life. Letting a molar infection fester, can make you septic or even infect your heart and kill you. Thanks bunches to Forum and Dr. A for their emance compassion and assistance today. I'll be back and recommend them for sure. read less

Dr Kim has been amazing with my daughter during a very difficult time. Jordan is an amazing, wonderful lead assistant, thank you for your amazing work.

She listened to my needs and did refer me to their St Roberts location due to the transition in Dentists. That one call made a world of difference. She advised that she used this as a training opportunity with her and was very sincere!
Thank you!
Service was NO WHERE Close to what I was expecting. I recently moved from Denver and my husband is a patient at this practice. I called and left a voice mail before operating hours ( posted online)( voicemail has no greeting) I also went online and made an appointment for emergency service ( crown came off) I had not heard anything back so I decided to call again and the call was answered. I greeted the gal that answered and mentioned I had called and made the online appointment and was wondering if she could assist. She seemed very short and stated they were not even open but asked what I was needed and I told her of my urgent need and she said she would get me in the last week of July. When I stated it was more of an urgent mater she got snappy and said "We don't have a Dr until then" I kind of laughed and said I understand but due to the urgency I was hoping for something sooner and appreciated her time. read less

One of my last teeth has been hurting off and on for a couple of weeks while I was out of town for work. I'm a truck driver. Waited all day Friday for someone to call me back. So I got home Monday and called office again and to my surprise I got a limited appt to evaluate my situation. Cost for the visit and 1 xray was $121. Was told they may be able to get me in on the 31st for 2 extractions and was given quotes for replacement of the 2 teeth in my partial. Everyone was very nice and easy to understand. So I upgraded my review read less

Monday 2/22/2022 they showed me just how amazing they can be. My fiancé went to have the LEFT side of his face evaluated for jaw pain around 4:00pm at Valley Park Dental Group. He walked out with a failed wisdom tooth extraction on his RIGHT side and said he would be fine to go to work around 6:00pm. They gave him a referral to Dr. Reti at Southwest Oral Surgery and told him to schedule when he had time. Once the localized anesthesia shot wore off he was in the worst pain. The prescription for Tylenol #3 didn’t even begin to touch it. I called several times to the office and eventually had to call the after hours number since they never picked up before they closed. I STILL haven’t received a call back from Valley Park Dental Group 2 DAYS later. Out of pure desperation I called Forum Dental- Ballwin the office was closed but Dr. Olvera has the machine set up directly to her cell phone and she picked up on the first ring. I know she didn’t get the whole story out of me on the phone. I was extremely panicked and told her basically “I have no idea what to do. Please help!” She met us in 30 minutes at the office and had him joking around in 40 minutes. Took care of everything and sent us home with the appropriate medicine and aftercare. She’s followed up via phone call and texts multiple times checking on him. She even reached out to Valley Park Dental Group to touch base about the continuing of care for their patient. Like I said they still haven’t reached out to us two days later.

I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Olvera for everything she did. Don’t hesitate to see her. She’s amazing! read less

Dr. Atchison was amazing, he gave me a very thorough checkup and fixed a mess up with a filling from a previous dentist that I didn’t realize I even had an issue until a few days later! What an amazing relief! Thanks doc!! Can’t wait to come back. read less

I am not always the greatest at taking care of my teeth but there is no judgment only teaching. The Dentist Dr J. who was not friendly is no longer there and has been replaced by an amazingly friendly dentist that fits the personality of the rest of the team there. We moved away to Forsyth but my wife and I still drive up to Ozark just to go to this team. read less
