Absolutely awesome office. From the pleasant answering the phone to my exit!!
My visit was 100% great. Thanks to all the staff again from the front to the back. I was treated will soft voices, soft touches, relaxing music and excellent work. Hats off and did I say I call to set a appointment and was see the same day!!! Now, where they do that at anymore!!!! The best!!!! Thanks Barataria Dental office in Marrero.
I have never been so impressed in a dental or healthcare facility! All of the staff were so friendly and kind, immediately treating you like a friend you’ve known for years – from the sweet receptionist to the friendly hygienist to the awesome dentist! Dr. Hemphill took her time, getting down to finding the root of my TMJ pain and coming up with a plan. I’ve been suffering for years without anyone really investigating, explaining, or trying to solve it. I was in the office for 2 hours doing imaging and coming up with a plan, and never felt rushed. I plan on making this my regular dentist and switching my kids over too!
Barataria Dental was recommended to me after my previous doctor passed away. He held a special place in my heart and I thought no one could replace him; however, Dr. Burmaster and her staff picked up where he left off and they are very professional and friendly. Nothing is rushed, all questions are answered and you’re advised to call if you have any other questions or concerns. I’m very pleased with Barataria Dental services and I highly recommend them.
