Summary of this video by Dr. Maxie Combs
Dr. Maxie Combs shares that Dental Wellness of Lexington cares for patients who travel from all over, from hours away and even from places as far as Ireland or Florida. Many patients plan their appointments around their travels, knowing they can always rely on the office for care and reassurance. Dr. Combs emphasizes the importance of building close, trusting relationships with patients and offering round-the-clock support. This commitment helps patients feel secure, valued and confident that they’ll get the care they need, no matter where they are.
Personalized Dental Care for Out-of-Town Patients (And Lexington Locals, Too!)
There’s something deeply comforting about returning “home” to a dentist who remembers not just your chart, but your story, your travels and sometimes even your children or grandkids. At Dental Wellness of Lexington, we design dental care for out-of-town patients with connection and trust at the heart of every visit. Whether you’re driving from the next county or hopping off a plane from another country, we believe your care should travel with you. As Dr. Maxie Combs, DMD, shares, “A lot of our patients come from far away. They travel sometimes a couple of hours. We even have many patients that are from Ireland that come back here for their business and the horse racing. They always come to us when they’re home, what we call home, when they’re in town.” Our practice welcomes people who may only be in Lexington for big life events, business trips, or just visiting family.
Personalized Dental Care That Travels With You
The experience you’ll receive at Dental Wellness of Lexington is as unique as your story. Dr. Combs says, “A lot of our patients are from Florida, and we have a lot of people that are ‘snowbirds’. They are very consistent with getting their appointment before they leave and as soon as they get back. It’s not uncommon for us to have patients from all around, but really most of our patients are from 30 minutes to an hour away.”
We are frequently told how this continuity helps you feel safe and remembered. One traveling patient shared, “Even when I’m down in Florida for the winter, I always make sure to get my teeth checked here before I leave. Dr. Combs remembers details about my family and where I’m headed next. You just feel at home.”
Support for Out-of-Town Patients When You Need It
True peace of mind is knowing your dentist is available no matter where life takes you. Dr. Combs explains, “They know that they can call us anytime, day or night. We have someone always on call. It’s one of us. We want to take care of our patients. I’ve had calls from the Bahamas before. Most of the time, they just need advice and reassurance that they’re going to be okay.” This availability gives our patients the confidence that their dental team is just a phone call away whenever they need support. One patient recalled, “I was nervous after my crown fell out while traveling for work. I called Dental Wellness at night, and Dr. Combs actually called back herself. She eased my mind and told me what to watch for until I was back in town.”
Solving Dental Challenges Unique to Out-of-Town Patients
We know out-of-town patients worry about what will happen if an emergency strikes away from home or how to coordinate long-term treatment. Our experienced team provides clear instructions and extra care tips. “We want to have that relationship with our patients because that instills that security that the patient has that we will take care of them,” says Dr. Combs.
A review from an out-of-town patient reads, “They helped me coordinate everything, even when I was busy and far from home. Every doctor’s office should be this thoughtful and responsive.” Our rapport is built on open lines of communication so every return visit feels seamless, no matter how long it’s been.
