Last time we waited 2 hours to be seen & the root canal took hourssss. This time after 90 mins I asked when we'd be seen & they wanted us to wait another 30 minutes. I promptly made a new appointment at a different dental business and walked out. This place wasted all their $ to make the place look cute but didn't devote any time to hiring competent dentists or front of house staff. I would NEVER bring ANYONE here. This place is awful. I want my wasted time back again.

I never write reviews but I had to for this location. Would not recommend. Go somewhere else. The first time I went here. One of the workers came out to tell me what I needed. And it all it came to over 10K when I mentioned that I only wanted what medical covered her response was "then what you come here for?" Unfortunetly, I still ended up getting one procedure done. The oral surgeon didn't even introduce himself or anything like that. At the end they barely said what the after care was and rather just gave me the paper with instructions with a few gauze and sent me on my way. They didn't bother to tell me if I needed to come back or anything like that.

Waited 90 minutes to be told they have to wait for insurance approval for a deep cleaning. Will take up to 4 weeks for approval. Waited 80 min for the Dr to tell me about the need for deep cleaning! Unacceptable wait times - they either overbook or need time management training.

For this dental office you need to be prepared to stay longer than your schedule appt. My daughter's appointment was at 3pm, got called in to do her X-rays around 4pm. After stayed in the room waiting til 5pm. Waited for another 30mins..Didn't get a common courtesy that they are falling behind. That would be understandable..And yet to skip my daughter to help another patient that came after us. No one came by to help us..you see workers walk by and just look at us..the doctor finally comes in and checks and discuss treatment, and say we will do cleaning and leaves. Again waiting for the oral cleaning but I just to hear the doctor tell the dentist hygienist was told to help another patient. I asked if we were next and now being told no I'm helping another patient that just got seated to a room.This point they obviously they aren't going to see my daughter at all if it's taking this long. I decided to leave and tell the front desk if they can put a note advising that my daughter didn't get the oral clean on this day because no one in the back doctor or assistance didn't take note of it. A business should have it on a claim if they didn't do the treatment. They said the doctor would of wrote it down. But she didn't write anything she went straight to the next patient. Although I scheduled an appointment for my daughter..I am not looking forward to it.

Had an appointment, again I was not called until an hour after the appointment time. What is the point of making appointments and getting calls everyday 5 days before appointment to make sure your coming and then making you wait an hour to be seen. Every visit has been with a different dentist as well. When it was dr. Brown's building I saw the same dentist for years.

Minimize the long waits. Please quietly Discuss patient's treatment and dental coverage details quietly so everyone in the waiting area doesn't hear. Offer the discounts on treatment for a week or two a week so a patient can get access to the funds. The take it or leave discount felt rushed and forced.

I don't like how the waiting room that is set up to look like a theater the t.v. is never on unless you request it. For the braces department it's 2022 and the different colors that are available for the kids are basic nothing vibrant and up to date. My experience for our 3rd visit was rude and upsetting I was told that it was against hippa rules if they let me go back in with my daughter. But for my daughter's 2nd visit they allow my husband to sit back there with her with our four-year-old daughter on his lap no one told him anything about hippa rules are even the fact that he couldn't go back there. When I mention it to the front desk lady all she did was tell me how there must have been a mistake and they weren't allowed back there as if I needed to lie. Right away when my daughter was seated back there the lady allowed me to walk back there with her and then another dental assistant a rude guy started telling me about how I couldn't be back there with my daughter. Which makes no sense. If this is there rules they should be for everyone. I hate saying it this way but my husband is Hispanic and I'm African American and my daughter looks like her father color and all and it just felt like I was being profiled for whatever reason because they allowed him to go back there just 6 weeks prior and all of a sudden everyone in the office had amnesia..

If its a place where they help kids i don't see why they cant allowed the parent to go in with the kid. I just think that is not right.

This place has rude staff. I tried calling to send a message to the doctor and the lady in the office did not want to send my message she told me I need to make another appointment with the doctor to ask any questions. So I was happy to take my Money somewhere else for my daughters braces. I DO NOT recommend this place.

I have been coming to this location for over 8 years now. And I absolutely love how everyone from the front desk to the back office, make you feel welcome. I started with bringing my oldest daughter first then decided to continue brining my other daughter. And now my almost 2 yr old is also coming in for check ups. Every staff is very caring, sweet and just happy. I would recommend this dental place to EVERYONE!

My father waited a long time to see the doctor. We were there for two hours to be told he needed a deep cleaning but needed prior authorization. What was the point of the office scheduling an appointment in advance for him advising he was due for a checkup and cleaning without getting prior authorization ? It was a waste of our time . Service is not as good as it used to be . Not sure who you got working in your offices but you need better help !
