Very disappointed in the office. I've been taking my children here for at least 8 to 9 years. Never missed an appointment always paid my bill. My Company has made insurance changes and I had the misfortune to be caught in the middle. The office called me and stated that insurance is inactive. I stated I'm trying to get this corrected it might take awhile. This call happened on Thursday appointment was for Saturday. I didn'tget issue resolved by Saturday. Got a bill for 170 for a missed appointment on Tuesday postmarked that Saturday charged that Saturday. Wow! Needless to say I'm done with them. I called and the response was that's our policy. Wow! Guess I was just a paycheck to them.

We LOVE Children and Adolescent Dentistry. We've been taking our children since they were little ones. Dr. Morton, Dr. Shore and the staff are outstanding. Not only have they been great with our children (for many years), they have been incredibly supportive in other ways as well. You see, during critical and challenging times, we reached out to Dr. Shore and Dr. Morton. Without hesitation, they responded in kind to our request. Their contribution made a significant impact in the community we serve.

I really like this dentist along with my children they always look forward to going they are comparable in price to all other pediatric dentists. they are honest and smart on how to deal with preventative care. my middle daughter who is 3 had to have fillings done they gave me a treatment plan and suggested to knock her out my hubby did not agree took her another pediatric dentist who didn't knock her out and ended up doing a root canal and strapping her down btw she didn't need a root canal. she was traumatized a few weeks later had the rest of her work done with Dr. Morton all went great and she was not scared to walk into their office after everything she went through they handled her with care and made sure she was comfortable before looking in her mouth. I will continue to take all 3 of my children here they are 6, 3, and 2. also the biggest shock came was they quoted me a price in the end all the work that was done came out more money but because they gave me a previous price they honored that price and called me to tell me that, which was a huge and happy surprise to me!

Drs. Morton & Shore are fantastic. I've worked with them on a professional and personal level (my children have been going there for almost 20 years), and I've never had the slightest problem. I recommend this office on a regular basis

Its all about the money. On our child's first visit here Dr. Shore pitched a fit about our child's previous dentist to the point of checking to see if he was board certified because he felt our child's sealants were not properly applied. Our child had never had a problem visiting a dentist until he saw Dr. Shore, now he is scared to death. Based on our experience we decided to see another dentist. When we asked for our sons records to be transferred we were told that there was a charge in excess of $100 for that service. In over forty years of dealing with healthcare professionals in several disciplines, I've never been charged for a records transfer. On our first visit to our child's new dentist we were informed that there was no sign of sealants that we had paid Dr. Shore to apply less than six months prior. Spare your child the trauma and your pocketbook the expense of visiting Dr. Shore. He's in it for the money.
