My 7 year old had an appointment with them this morning that required sedation. I didn't know this was that appointment so I gave him breakfast drove 2 HOURS to get there only to be told he won't be seen. I never got a general admission call telling me he couldn't eat after midnight. With gas prices as high as they are I was not a happy mom. And the front desk lady was burping loudly while talking with me.

Im so glad that i had the opportunity to bring my child here. I love the way all the staff treated my daughter from start to finish. The dentist that came to see her was very gental and he was in no rush. He spoke to my child in a nice way. He didn't scold me for the dental issues my daughter had (like at the other dental office that reffed me) instead he educated me. We enjoyed our visit and will ne returning.

*update* they have gone down in service. The dentist was great as always, but the rest of the staff . Receptionist were loud and gossipy. The ladies doing my kids X-rays had zero patience with my children. My son went off with one and wasn't "cooperating" only to later to find out she was being soooo rude and rough with him that he got scared. The other women doing the X-ray on my daughter was rude and snappy because she wasn't quite understanding what she wanted. This was an appointment we waited months. I had an appointment in February but called to reschedule as we all had covid. The receptionist was rude about it and after making the appointment she hung up without saying anything else. My daughter has a few small cavities so when I went to the other side of the building to reschedule and the lady was HORRIBLE. No customer service whatsoever. Sadly after 5 years of going here we will be looking for another dentist. The dentist and assistant were so sweet and patient with my three year old! He barely cried because they were so gentle. Very happy with their service. Appointment was exactly on time, and the office was so kid friendly :)

My son ended up having to have a tooth pulled last minute, which I thought works freak him out but they were awesome at keeping him calm. Afterwards my son said he felt no pain and every one was so nice to him.

Don't trust the dentist here. He did the same to.my daughter. Had the nerve to put his hands on her to keep her calm. Do not trust a guy like that with my child. Not a good vibe at this place with the staff.

Very poor service at the front desk. Recently lost my wife and happened to be running a few minutes late due to getting three children all under six years old in and out of the vehicle. Much more courteous and professional in the back.
