I have been going there for 12 years for all of my kids' dentals. It's a long way from my house, but I prefer this location over others. The employees, hygienists, doctors are super patient and courteous!

I have been coming to this location for almost 14 years. Today's visit was the worst. I sat in the waiting room for 35 minutes, which I finally asked what is taking so long. They right away called her back to now sit there because the room they wanted to put us in was not clean. 10 minutes later we walk in the room. We wait again for the assistant to "set up" the room. To now wait another 15 minutes to find an available doctor. A total of 1 hour and 20 minutes of WAITING!! The work done on my daughter took a total of 20 mins. We were there from 10:25 to 12:05. I understand places get busy and short staffed but when you have a child that has to go back to school and a bunch of people that work there standing around and not many children in seats to be worked on is insane. What a disappointment of a visit!

After being with them for 4 years, my last experience was terrible! I was dealing with unprofessional doctor who checked my 4 year old son's teeth yesterday. She was nice in the beginning but after my son started crying during check up , she pushed his head hard and yelled at him saying it's unacceptable! Very rude and unprofessional!!! Psycho! She definitely shouldn't work with kids! I even doubt about her diagnosis concerning cavities. I heard from a lot of people that they make wrong diagnosis about cavities and send them to surgicenter to put the kids under anesthesia when there is no any cavities. Definitely will get second opinion about that . Stay away from this place ! They don't care about patients anymore, only about $$$

Doc Bresler's Cavity Busters is a joke, We have been with them for about 13 years and missed only 3 appts due to their staff not doing their job ( which I have asked them to do and corrected them on every time I was in the office) Never changed the contact info kept sending messages and calling their father and my children are with me 24/7 so I never got the reminders which I do rely on because I am a single working mother with 5,000 other responsibilities. I understand the policy 100% but the fact that the office manager never even called me back to LISTEN to concerns is completely unprofessional and shows they do not care about us..just the $$$ I was told atleast 3 times that someone would call me, excuses every time I called. I also emailed a very nice letter, still NOTHING! I don't even want to go back at this point, I wanted them to know that their staff is unprofessional and doesn't listen not to mention they get my kids charts mixed up all the time and thank god I caught it before they got unnecessary work done! Be careful it's all about the $ they have proved that 100%
