Cure Dental of Cape Girardeau

I have always had bad experiences at dentists as a child and young adult. Dr. Shipley and his team have gone above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and that I’m in good hands. I can now walk into the office without feeling extremely anxious. Thanks for being the change! ❤️

I have had some traumatic experiences at dental offices as a kid and as an adult except for here at Cure Dental. I felt super at ease and cared for by the most compassionate staff. They talked me through the entire process and wanted to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied. I am actually looking forward to my next visit! I never thought I’d say those words! Cure Dental has the bar set pretty high, in my opinion.

My kids love it there they really liked everyone and the dentist and plus everyone is so nice

I loved having Tia as my hygienist today! She is gentle, she is a phenomal educator, she is so personable, and you can tell she knows what she’s doing! I felt extremely comfortable and she made me love my smile more today! Dr Shipley is fantastic as well! I appreciate that he takes time explaining things and he has a conservative approach in trying things before pulling the trigger on drastic changes or big treatments. He explains all options very well and checks back in often! Great chair side manner! The front office staff is always friendly and I’m always greeted each visit by Bettie Jo! His dental assistant is very knowledgeable and sweet too! Really the entire team has been nothing short of amazing! Cure dental has a phenomenal team! I’ve had great experiences here at this office! Highly recommend!

This is by far the best dental experience I’ve had. The staff was friendly, efficient and very accommodating. From scheduling the appointment, check in, procedure, to check out, it was a smooth process. I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff and dentist. I was comfortable and at ease throughout my experience there. Which is saying a lot since I usually really don’t like going to the dentist and I had to have a filling done.

The environment at Cure Dental is like no other! You can tell Dr. Shipley thought of it all to make his patients feel comfortable. We were given a warm welcome right away and felt like family before we left. Great with kids- TVs, juice boxes, and dragon/unicorn toothpaste were a nice touch. Would HIGHLY recommend!

This place is such a great place to get you dental needs taken care of. The staff is so nice considerate and catering. I was very nervous and apprehensive about having my extraction and they completely made me feel at ease. Kept checking to make sure I wasn’t in pain and even text me to make sure I was ok after it was done because they knew how nervous I was. Highly recommend them.

They texted me day before my appointment saying that they are going to give my appointment away to someone else and that they don’t reschedule appointments. I do not recommend going thru this company at all. Very rude. Update: Then he sees my review calls me to threaten me with legal actions or take my review down.

This will be a long review, but please read through. I’d love to give this dr a five star review had he not turned into a joke. Now I’d give a zero but that’s not possible so a 1 star will have to suffice. My children had a dentist appointment today, this morning I had a family emergency telling me my dad had a heart attack. As any one of you would do, I went to the hospital. Even in the state of an emergency I thought enough to call and cancel. First I’m told nothing, then I’m told we can’t be patients because it’s less than 48 hours notice because we all pencil in emergencies on our calendars right ? Then I’m told he’s not taking new patients. The dr himself won’t take my call, then messages me to tell me they are no longer a provider of our insurance. So in less than a day, three excuses. The website says he has a heart for serving, I say that’s a lie. He had no heart what so ever. Money is what he serves, powered by greed. I hope he should never experience any emergency that enables him to fulfill his prior obligations to an appointment. I also think in a world flipped upside down already, this is a prime example of how greed has depleted human civility. And shame on him for treating people this way and maybe just going forward he will understand that it’s time to either take three lies off his website or start striving to have that heart of caring. This dentist is not as he seems and I’m a strong believer someone else will have a negative experience to share and should do so because the praises he receives is not warranted, nor earned

I'm 39 years old and never been to the dentist for one reason or another. My three boys go often elsewhere but will start going here. From day one they were so kind, comforting, and considerate. My appointment was made right away instead of months out. They answered all of my questions and explained how my process would go very well. There's an Apple TV to watch while the teeth are getting work. An absolute wonderful experience for my first time. I look forward to more and for my children to go as well!! Highly recommend!!
