The Origin of Chapman Dental
About our Dentist
Dr. Alex Chapman
Dr. Alex Chapman is a native of Spartanburg SC. He attended Spartanburg Methodist College, then moved to Charleston SC to attend the College of Charleston. He then attended the Medical University of South Carolina for dental school. He is a road course driving instructor, in short, he teaches people how to drive on race tracks. He is a BMW owner and maintains his track / street car himself. Sometimes in between patients, he may be found playing on his drumset…which may or may not be at the office. Dr. Chapman believes strongly in doing the best dentistry that can be done for his patients. He uses the latest in technology, and will offer every option to fix your teeth, not only the ones that are convenient for him. He does not rush through procedures, is very gentle and patient.
Meet our Friendly Staff,
Angela is Dr. Chapman’s assistant and right hand girl. Born and raised in Greenville, she eats IHOP for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Don’t ask her what she thinks about the Awful Waffle. Angie tells it like it is and we all know she ain’t never lied. Michael Jackson is her favorite recording artist, and “Off the Wall” is her favorite album. She also loves Maxwell. She likes his music too.
Brooke runs the front desk. She also helps out with pretty much everything at the office including assisting. Brooke is a double Clemson grad, having received her bachelors and masters degree from “where the blue ridge yawns its greatness”. She tries to find time on the weekend to visit her sisters there and to cheer for her tigers. While at Clemson, Brooke was very active in Alpha Phi International Sorority and continues to volunteer with them. When she’s not at Chapman Dental, she loves spending time with her husband and herd of pets including a dog, a bearded dragon named Puff from her time as a highschool biology teacher, and a cat named Layla whose name was inspired by a song by her favorite singer, Eric Clapton.
Althea is Dr. Chapman’s Hygienist. She has 30+ years experience as a hygienist. She is the office mom to our therapy dog Caroline and is her chief dresser / stylist. Althea loves sweet tea from the Spice Diner, where we frequently eat. With her upbeat and bubbly personality, she always keeps her patients and the rest of the staff laughing.
Cheryl is Dr. Chapman’s Hygienist. She also has 30+ years experience as a hygienist. She loves to travel with her husband Garry who is a road course driving instructor. She has a small business photographing cars on race tracks. Cheryl is very precise, organized, and thorough. Even though Cheryl started working for Dr Chapman in 2016, they have been friends for many years.
Caroline is the office therapy dog. She is 7 years old and was adopted from the humane soceity. She has been trained to sit in people’s laps during procedures. Nervous patients and children love her. In her spare time she enjoys going for walks, playing tug of war, playing fetch and not returning the thrown item, barking at distant noises or when she is startled, and cheese. She is shy at first, but gets to know and love our patients…Squirrels not so much.
Dental Insurance
At Chapman Dental, we cater to patients without dental insurance. If you do not have dental insurance, please come see us, as you will find nowhere in Greenville that will work harder for you and your needs.
For patients who already have dental insurance, Chapman Dental does as a courtesy file your insurance claims for you. Remember, the dentist is your advocate, and no dental office will stand up for you to your insurance company as fiercely as Chapman Dental will. Do not let your insurance company make choices for your dental care. Make those choices yourself, and let our office help empower you to do it.
If you are going to an in network office and you lose your job, or for some reason your insurance lapses, you are out of luck. At our office, your dental care is not hinged around your insurance, so we are able to take care of you regardless.
Bottom line, please give us a chance to be your dental office. Few people who become our patients ever seek another office. It never hurts to come try us out!
