Used to like taking my kids here, new policies that have been put into place are idiotic and used selectively. Will no longer have my children subjected to these policies where they will be ALONE during procedures.

They wanted my 4 yr-old to have a procedure done using nitrous "laughing gas" with no parental supervision...expected my child to go to the back alone! They brought the office manager when I asked to speak to the dentist about their absurd policy!

I loved the service they gave my daughter. she is 4 years old and talks non-stop. The assistant (Liz) was very patient to explain and tell her in detail everything that was going to be done. Not being enough, the assistant answered the questions that my daughter had. (You can imagine the questions of a 4-year-old girl) Dr. Salceso was just as attentive to my daughter, she was patient and understanding. DR. told her that she had to brush her teeth more often(something I always say) but since THE DOCTOR OF THE TEETH (as she calls her) told her, my daughter seemed like if she will obey.

(Translated by Google) Very bad service, I do not recommend it for your children, Dr. Salcedo did what she wanted with my son, she told me that she was going to put only 2 crown and she put 3 and I took out a spring. making faces because what they did to the child bothered me Be careful with what they sign because they told me to sign giving them authorization to change the treatment and having the child in the room without asking me (Original) Muy mal servicio no lo recomiendo para sus hijos la Doctora Salcedo hizo lo que quizo con mi hijo me dijo que le hiba a poner solo 2 coronilla y le puso 3 y le saco una muelita Y a mi ni me preguntaron si estaba dacuerdo y la asistente haciendo caras porque me molesto lo que hizieron al nino.Cuidado con lo que firman pues me dijeron que yo firme dandole autorizacion de poder cambiar el tratamiento ya teniendo al nino en el cuarto sin preguntarme

Thank God I went to another dentist! Never again coming to this dentist! EVER! I'm originally from agua dental but since my son needed special treatment for his teeth they recommended us here & let me tell you my bad experience. We came & he just needed work on his 4 front teeth come to realize she said he needed over 7 other teeth besides the original 4 he needed to get treatment. Me "iffy" about it I said let me think about it. I took him else where (rodeo dental in San Benito TX) came to realize he only needed the 4 front teeth work ONLY! Plus they did his procedure in 2 days. This people just want your money they don't care about your child's needs. They wanted to perform more work on my son to get more money!!!! They don't deserve the 1 star !
