Dr. Ames listened to all of my concerns and due to me almost passing out while getting shots, he gave me nitrous. It was the best experience getting a cavity filled. Five stars!!

He was professional, good natured, direct, and engaging. He is excellent and should be the face and voice of the department!

Dr Tyler is off the charts. He is the ONLY dentist I trust with my extremely challenging medical condition that makes everything 10X harder. His energy, creativity, enthusiasm and experience all work together to offer the best dental care in Nashville. And his sense of humor is great: this visit he came in to find me seated in the usual dental chair covered in a silver sheet (because there is a chemical cleaner of some sort on the chair (even though wiped down with water) that always gets on my chair and causes red, itchy bands on my neck.). He came in. Laughed and said: This is a NEW one, mylar, a space blanket?! This is a first for me! Another person might have been affronted or frustrated or exasperated --- but not Dr Tyler. THE BEST.
