Michael J Sawyer DDS

I saw Dr.mike for the first time in 2005 had 2 teeth removed and had no complaints. I went back January 2014 my teeth that needed removed was broke off to the gum line and he was gental as could be considering he had to go by the jaw bone but did a great job and took his time.I went to him again a few days ago and his office was a mad house my only complaint was the chiropractor that practices in his office,he was was playing receptionist and being rude to ppl and being loud and he couldn't find my medical file.I was in there this time couse I need a partial couse my front teeth are bad and I'm ready to see what needed to be done ,the chiropractor sat in the room and listened the whole time to the Dr.and I conversation and the Dr.was aggravated since they lost my file so since that couse me to do another xray and go threw complete exams again the Dr.said today is free no charge because this isn't your fault and make appointment for Monday for your fitting.On the way out to schedule my appointment the chiropractor said Dr.mike Must like you because he let you off with No charge for today's visit and he wasn't very nice about it.however I love Dr.mike he will talk and keep you calm and he has helped me and always been concerned,he is wonderful it just aggravates me that he is doing all the work while the chiropractor is rude and sticks his nose in the dental part he also said maybe the file is gone becuz its in with the ppl that mike feels sorry for and owes money and that mad me mad becuz I pay and have always used the credit card care credit.Dr.mike is great. more

Went to Dr. Sawyer today for my every- three-month dental cleaning as a new patient. The office staff was very friendly. Dr. Sawyer did an ultrasonic cleaning of my teeth. I had not had this done before, but now I am hooked - my teeth have never felt cleaner. It was painless and did a much better job than the manual cleanings I have had in the past at my previous dentist. Will make an appointment for my next three month cleaning. Would highly recommend Dr. Sawyer! more

I went to this dentist a few years ago for a "cleaning". I should have known to RUN once I saw the waiting room, but, against my better judgement (go get the book The Gift of Fear!), I went through with the appointment. The waiting room looked more like a flea market than a professional dentist's office. The most disturbing thing was a huge print of the three stooges showing Curly getting his tooth yanked out with a pair of pliers. Among other things that were very unprofessional, the x-ray machine was obviously very old because I had to remove all my earrings beforehand. Everyone and everything about this place just gave me an eerie feeling. (The Gift of Fear, once again...) I was told I needed a filling, but I made up a reason to get out of there. I said I would call to make an appointment for the filling once I knew my schedule. (NOT!) The same day I made an appointment with another dentist and went in the following week. I was SO much more at ease. I told them I needed a filling, but guess what! I DIDN"T need one! All I needed was a CLEANING which I obvioulsly did not really get the previous week. The dentist and assistant had to ask to clarify that it was the previous WEEK before this and not the previous YEAR. The supposed cavity was a small dot of a STAIN on my tooth! He said he had a feeling he knew who I had been to... So, my insurance was ripped off and the company said they couldn't do anything about it. The first dentist not only didn't DO any proceedure, but also charged much more than the second, qualified dentist. AND wanted to drill in my mouth when there was NO cavity. Imagine the damage this guy could have caused! So my appointment and x-ray (with a modern machine!) with the second dentist came out of my pocket. I reported Sawyer to the MO Dental Board, but nothing can be done unless more people come forward, i.e. he hurts people who then come forward. He did not get a chance to actually really HURT me yet... It's really sad because this guy is the Medicaid dentist there! And I have heard some horror stories since, while I made a point to tell aquaintances to STAY AWAY. Please do NOT go to this dentist! And if you have and anything has happened to you, please report this dentist to the MO Dental Board. You only get one set of teeth. Guard them! TRUST YOUR FIRST INSTINCTS! more
