My experience was quick and not great. I saw a review stating that a lady's 18 months old had an emergency and was seen immediate...as a new patient. How the staff was nice and helpful. I called to schedule my 5 years old son an emergency appointment and was told I would have to wait until October. I love Bippo's Place of Smiles and was only changing due to convenience but only to one that was equally great. This isn't it for me.

Kindest people EVER! We just moved here and had a slight dental emergency with our 18 month old. They saw us immediately, and the dentist even helped me fill out the New Patient Paperwork because my baby was so squirmy. Seriously, what doctor takes that much time and personal care! The entire staff was super friendly and kind! I highly recommend them.

Great staff in the office. The dentist will explain everything to the point. The staff in the exam room takes time to make sure your child is not afraid to get X-ray's or cleaning.
