Richard Fossum DDS

I love this place! It was recommended to me by chat gpt and I'm so thankful for it. Even though it was a painful experience (I had a broken tooth that had to be extracted) they did so much to make sure I was as comfortable as possible and make the extraction as painless as they could. Thank you for that! I even got a little serenade during the shot to help me relax. (And it worked)

The staff is very friendly and professional. I love that they actually take you back at your scheduled appointment time instead of making you wait. The hygienists are personable and attentive, and I really appreciate that they wait to open the sterilized dental instruments until you’re seated so you can see everything is fresh and clean. The location is also a huge plus — conveniently tucked away from the crazy I-35 traffic and the congested areas of Temple.

Although I am from Chicago and had to visit them on an emergency basis I was treated with much love and respect Thank you 🙏 Professionals at their finest!!!!!! Great job team

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Courtney, Jenna, and the amazing ladies in the office. I have always been absolutely terrified of going to the dentist because of several horrible experiences in the past, and I walked into this office carrying a lot of anxiety and fear. From the moment I arrived, every single person treated me with such kindness, patience, and compassion that I immediately felt more at ease. Dr. Courtney was incredibly gentle, understanding, and reassuring throughout the entire visit. She took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable, and never once made me feel rushed or judged. Jenna was just as wonderful — so sweet, calming, and attentive. Together they made what used to feel like one of my biggest fears into an experience where I finally felt safe and cared for. The ladies in the office deserve recognition too because they were all so welcoming, friendly, and supportive. You can truly feel the positive atmosphere the moment you walk in the door. For anyone who struggles with dental anxiety or has had bad experiences in the past, I genuinely cannot recommend this office enough. They restored not only my confidence in going to the dentist, but also my trust. Thank you all so much for your kindness and care — you are truly appreciated more than you know! Y'all are my HERO'S!

I’ve always had a great experience at Dr. Fossum’s office. Dr. Fossum and the entire staff are always friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. They take their time to explain everything clearly and make sure all of my questions are answered, which really makes you feel comfortable and valued as a patient. The office is welcoming, organized, and the level of care they provide is outstanding. I truly appreciate how kind and attentive everyone is, and I would highly recommend Dr. Fossum’s office to anyone looking for excellent dental care!

Hands down one of the best experiences I have ever had at a dental practice! From the moment you enter the office, you are met with a smiling face. It was evident in just those first few moments that the team was expecting me and that they were organized and efficient. There is a positive energy from the entire team and it's evident this office works well together creating a well oiled machine. The customer experience was top of mind, everyone was easy to speak with, engaged, and thoughtful in their approach. Dr. Fossum presented with professionalism and confidence in his work and made me feel at ease. I arrived for a very minor concern with a chipped tooth that was addressed in no time and I will now be scheduling all of my cleanings and any other dental care at this location. Thank you so much, Dr. Fossum and team - it's clear you all enjoy what you do and take pride in providing A+ patient care!

I hadn’t had an exam or cleaning in over a year (completely my fault), but Dr. Fossum and his team took such great care of me from start to finish. They made sure I was comfortable the entire time and never once made me feel judged. Danya and Celestina were amazing they walked me through my treatment, educated me along the way, and truly helped keep me calm. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients. Dr. Fossum is quick and has such a gift for his craft. I can’t say enough good things about this team. I’m so grateful for the care I received today! Thank you!

The team is very pleasant from the front office to the back. Very professional and nice and definitely know what they are doing. I know most people do not like to go to the Dentist. But this was the most pleasant I have had out of any other Dentistry. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for the best dentist's office I have ever been to to.

Good timing for them and me. They were able to put me in a no-show slot even though my appointment was the following week. As usual, my cleaning procedure, complete X-ray on all teeth, scheduling next appointment and check out was flawless. I feel confident that Dr. Fossom and his staff have given me the best care when it comes to preserving my teeth as I age! Job well done!

I recently moved to the area and found this dentist to be highly rated. After visiting, I understand why. They were very knowledgeable and were able to evaluate my situation and set me up with the proper referrals. I was in a lot of pain and not only did they do everything they could, they identified everything that needed done rapidly and were able to get me in to see everyone I needed to on the same day. Their staff were all extremely nice and accommodating, as well, showing me every option I had for treatment and payments. This is the best dentist office I have ever been to. Icing on the cake, they have a really cool aquarium in their lobby.
