*Updated to 5 stars as we have continued to go here with no issues and over the last 2 years. It seems administrative issues is an ongoing thing with these people based on another review posted. I also had an issue with an appointment and there was no regard for my time. I scheduled an appointment for 12:30pm and when I made the appointment I asked what was the protocol for arrivals based on the current COVID situation. I was told that I would be given instruction once we approached the day. All I got the day before my appointment was a text to confirm and nothing else. No instructions, no policy on timeliness, nothing! I unfortunately arrived 10 min late and I called upon my arrival and waited another 10 min on hold to be told that "the dentist was going to lunch and couldn't see me". Apparently if you're one minute late these people bolt out of there. If you don't want your lunch time to be interrupted than don't make appointments during lunch. Then when I asked to speak to an office manager the front desk told me there was no office manager at that office. They are making me wait outside for an hour to be seen. They need to really get their administration in check and create a streamline communication across all of their staff and it needs to be told to all patients when calling for an appointment. Rules should be communicated and arrival protocol as well. It's ridiculous and a lack of concern for patients. *Editing my rating to 3 stars because when I came back the Office Manager was there waiting to apologize and the dentist then called me in the evening to apologize as well and apparently he wasn't aware that I was told I couldn't be seen because he was going out to lunch. The only reason why I stayed the hour outside was because my son had fallen the day before and hit his mouth and I didn't want to have to wait till God knows when for another appointment. I hope they implement better communication practices with their staff and to their patients and parents to ensure they are providing quality service.

Dr. VANESSA MATAMOROS was incredible with my 7 year old granddaughter. She had 2 teeth extracted and never cried or felt anything at all. It was the best experience ever with a pediatric dentist!

This office is pure trash. East Pines office is nice. Staff is nice, but you are nearly guaranteed to get Covid from the staff that doesn't mask, the patients that will move from chairs to the waiting area without a mask. Disgusting. No walls or barriers. The lowest class office I have seen in my entire life.

This was my son's very first dental appointment and it was fantastic! Nathalie was very patient and kind and did a great job making my son (and me) feel comfortable. With this being his first time, I was super nervous, but when we left my son said, "I love the going to the dentist!" Thank you Nathalie and Dr Landa for making this a successful first visit!
