I usually don't write bad reviews especially since we had good experiences at this dental chain before but this dentist office is absolutely Appalling. How they haven't been shut down by the health department is shocking. We usually go to another location but we moved and this one was closer. I brought my child in for a check up and I canceled my future appointments with this location. The Maryvale location is much better There was smearing on the walls, trash all over the floor, drill bits on the floor, dusty bunnies in boxes and on the boxes they were getting dental equipment from. There was a shelf that had FOOD shells on it... Seems hasn't been sanitized in over a year or longer. The bathroom had used toiletries all over the floor, no soap. It was plan out disgusting. I wish I got better an more photos to truly show this Dentist offices should look like you can eat off the floor. Can you imagine them working on your child's mouth? Talk about an infection. It's sad because the dentist did seem pretty nice but the staff seemed like the were hung over.

Had an appointment and my car was out of service. When the receptionist called me I let her know that my vehicle was not in service and that my children didn't go to school. That reception in turn called my husband at wok to let him know that I had missed my appointment, that my car was not working and that the children had not gone to school. After my husband called confused and upset. I called the office again and the reception said she had spoken to my husband first--really? So she's psychic? New my car wasn't working and that the children hadn't gone to school. If this was a situation of domestic violence, which is not but if it was, your office would have put my life in danger. There is no reason ever, ever to divulge information about a patron to another person whether that person was related or not! I asked to speak to management and just hung up on. So incredibly disappointed.

Would not recommend. Rude staff. I took my son in with concerns that I have and the dentist did not act professional at all. All he did was worry me even more. Don't take your child here

The staff was amazing and made our 3 year old's first dentist visit a success! The facility was clean and sanitary. Everyone was so nice and the Dr Tim was so awesome with all the kids. We love this place and our 3 year old can't wait to go back for his follow up!

My children went here for about 5 years and when they first opened it was great! The staff was nice and the place was clean. Over the years it has gone downhill, like nobody even cares anymore. Our wait times got longer and longer at every appointment, the staff was different every visit like they have a bad turnover rate, the dental work and care seems rushed, and THE PLACE IS DIRRRTY!! The walls and floors look horrible and the equipment looks filthy as well. My son got work done earlier this month and I was looking at the tools and (I'm no dental professional but) they looked bad. They looked in need of replacement. I cancelled all my children's upcoming scheduled appointments and switched dentists. I couldn't take it anymore and I did not feel like my children's health was safe here. I don't know how any parent would feel right bringing their children to this office..

The staff was lovely and the dentist was very handsome, but I would not recommend this business. I didn't feel it was sanitary and the teeth cleaning was ridiculous. Less than 5 minutes and no polishing toothbrush, a regular toothbrush. They scraped tarter off in less than 5 minutes as well.. They took 4 X-rays and could not have possibly seen all aspects of the teeth with just 4.

The staff is very friendly and caring. I have 5 kids and every time I bring them in for dental work they always are very kind and make them feel safe. Staff is amazing! The lady in the front gave them Knick knacks to keep them settled down when they started getting antsy. Definitely very patient. I recommend this dentist to all parents. Their service is the absolute best.

All 3 of my kids 13, 4 and 2 love Desert Valley Peds dentistry. My oldest had to have fillings done and they were quick and almost painless, she is extra sensitive to the drill but they make sure she is comfortable.

I have been taking my daughter to this dentistry for a few years now and I really like this place, my daughter enjoys going there as well since they treat her really well. Everyone is really nice and friendly, and I also like that they have bilingual employees

I brought my son here after his previous provider kept us waiting 50 minutes on the 1st visit and 40 minutes by the time I left the 2nd time. The staff here were very patient with my son who was nervous for his visit. After check-in we were taken back within 5 minutes of arriving, including the cleaning and the dentist consult the whole visit was 50 minutes. I can't express how refreshing it is to have a business respect your time, would recommend and will return.
