out of Read Reviews for Dr. Danny Crockarell
Dr. Crockarell has been my dentist for 21 years. I met Dr. Crockarell when no one else in the Hermitage, Mt Juliet, Lebanon area would touch me. I was 21 years old. At the age of 18 I had suffered a severe trauma in an abusive relationship that caused me to lose one of my upper front tooth 3 years later by way of a severe abscess. Imagine being a 21 year old young woman who had found the courage to leave an abusive husband, lost 87 lbs, and was feeling pretty good about yourself for the first time in too long and then losing your front tooth.
Dr. Crockarell was a Godsend. He was patient, compassionate, and concerned about the longevity of the repair as well as of the look of the repair. He did an implant along with multiple bone grafts over about a 9 month period of time. Over the years, I had zero complications with the implant and no one ever guessed it was not my natural tooth. As I got older, the bone loss from the trauma was just too great and could not stand up to the aging process and the implant eventually had to be removed. By this time, Doc had stopped doing implants and even though he referred me to several folks to get another done, there was just no way I could let anyone do but Doc. So I wore a "temporary flapper" for entirely too many years. Finally, my 2014 resolution was to get my tooth fixed no matter what.
I am pleased to say, I received my permanent bridge from Dr. Crockarell today and I cannot stop crying tears of joy. This man is an amazing dentist. He will not let you suffer, he does not want to do anything to cause you pain and he will do whatever it takes to ensure it is as painfree as possible. Outside of being a fabulous dentist, Doc is a wonderful man. I have known him for 21 years and I pray it is for at least 21 more. He is not just my dentist, he is my friend. I am so lucky that all of those years ago, no one would touch me and a dentist in Hermitage had the sense and wherewithal to get a hold of Doc on Friday, a day when his office is normally closed. His hygienist' are gentle and caring. The atmosphere in this office is like none I have ever experienced before.
If you need a dentist, go see him, you will never regret it.

First visit, saw a large print/picture of Kramer from Seinfeld. I knew then it was going to be a good day.
Not sure if implants include crowns, but needing 8 to replace ancient fillings where teeth have crumbled. I DETEST pain, always have been skittish about dentists, but Dr. Crockerell is awesome. Very careful not to cause pain, great personality, it's like his office staff are family, not just "employees". I would recommend him HIGHLY to ANYbody! Two crowns down, 6 to go. I don't mind going back to his office at all! I currently have Ameriplan, so my cost is amazing, and they will work with you, as well.

Dr. Crockerell has been our family dentist for almost 15 years. We were referred to him by several people when we first moved to the Mt. Juliet area. The quality of care is excellent, the facility is spotless and is conveniently located on Lebanon Road. The atmosphere is very nice and the staff is friendly. We have and will continue to recommend his office to everyone. Dr. Crockerell is candid with patients on what procedures are truly needed and those that are unnecessary. One of our family members required extensive and complex dental work to repair some problems from a former dentist (in another state) and Dr. Crockerell gave us great results at a fair and realistic price.
About Front Desk: 5/5 stars - front desk staff is great. Very helpful and friendly.
About Hygienist: 5/5 stars - thorough, highly trained, all safety/hygiene measures are used. Very caring, wonderful people.

Dr. Crockarell's done two crowns for me and did a fantastic job. My previous dentist died a few years ago, I had treated with him 20 years, so I was worried about going to a new dentist. However, he and his staff are great and I couldn't be more satisfied!
About Hygienist: Very capable dental hygienists.

I have no issues with the dentistry he has performed but his billing practices and the way his office manager deals with insurance is less than patient friendly.
I have both BCBS and MetLife and his office refuses to bill MetLife for the dental sewrvices they provide. They are a prefered provider of both metlife and BCBS and are also refusing to give the MetLife discounts even though they are a prefered provider. My BCBS health care plan only recently added the benefit of a yearly exam and a cleaning to the health care benefit. Dr Crockarells office is now charging me cash price for services and refusing to bill both the primary and secondary for services, forcing me to pay and then be reinbursed.
I have spoken with my fellow employees and their dentist are not acting in this manner and are billing the secondary as well as honoring the agreed upon PPO discounts.
Dr Crockarell is taking advantage of this situation to take me for more money. I will be leaving his practice and because of this situation would not refer anyone I know to his office.

Dr Crockarell is not only a nice guy, but he has a laid back non judgmental manner that always put me at ease. He likes to make people laugh as well!
More Importantly though is that he is a perfectionist. I found this out on a recent visit to get a crown. Where other dentists might have stopped working on the perfect fit, he persevered until the crown was a perfect fit. I do not even know that it is there!
About Hygienist: I have had 3 different hygienists work on my teeth there and they are all very professional and nice!

We are treated as friends and family. The service is top notch. Attention to patient comfort, minimal stress. Great attention to pain management. Caring staff, we always feel that our concerns are addressed.
Confident in the skills and equipment at this practice. We've had many visits, absolutely no negetive experiances.
We appreciate that the cost of our dental care is a concern to Dr. Crockarell, procedures are planned within our budget
Excellent healthcare provider for cost of service. Tremendous value. We would drive many miles out of our way to continue with this provider.

Very professional office staff. Dr. Crockarell is friendly, has a great sense of humor and is very "pain conscious" when it comes to dealing with patients. He takes the extra time to make sure that your dental visit is virtually pain free and performs top of the line dental work!
About Hygienist: Great hygenists. They are very thorough and painless. The result is squeaky clean teeth!
