Yajaira took care of my little brother with down syndrome. She was super patient and kind with him. He loved her and felt very comfortable with her. The visit was quick and thorough. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing! We did not have an appointment but we're able to walk right in. The staff was super friendly and great with kids! Hands down one of the best dental offices I have been to. I watch the dr. Find something to complement every child on something and he even brought out a guitar to play something for another patient just to give him some ease. Awesome that he is willing to go above and beyond for his patience

I'm not sure about if the other doctor we had is the one receiving the low star reviews or if the front office is staffed differently but we had a fantastic first experience. Dr. Bland was absolutely opposite of his name and a sociable, personal character that's great with children. Yajaira was also thorough and sweet as well. Was originally told by her that they would probably do anesthesia for her age if she had over 4 cavities which would be administered through a mask, but the doctor let us know she had 6 cavities but wanted to break it down into sessions with laughing gas instead. No pushing for sedation only and were all friendly with my hyper daughter.

We took our son for his cleaning this morning and Jackie was awesome with him! Jackie was patient and friendly while working with him to make sure he was comfortable. We have been seeing Dr Duckworth for years and would definitely recommend. He is an amazing dentist!! He always takes the time to answer our questions and explain everything to us.

I took my daughter in for a second opinion and was impressed by the service I received. My daughter was very comfortable with the dental assistant Jackie and Dr Bland was kind and took the time to answer all my questions. Although we needed to be referred out to an oral surgeon they provided a lot of information and made me feel comfortable with their decisions to refer out. I'm so glad I came here for a second opinion and appreciated their honesty. I recommend this office and hopefully everyone receives the amazing care that we did with Jackie and Dr Bland today.

This is the worst consumer service I had today. My brother were told me change another dentist for my kids because of front desk is not treated you Properly. I got there on time but they let enter the guys come behind me, when I asked why they didn't treated me proper way. I should have listened to my brother.

They're quick to push that anesthesia, aren't they? They said my 4 year old needed to be put under for cavity filling (I saw nothing on the X-rays) but my 6 year old would only need laughing gas (again, nothing seen). They never told me how many cavities and only pointed at the very edge of the tooth. Not to mention, we saw the X-rays on the computer as that were being taken and those X-rays looked NOTHING like the ones on the screen the doctor showed us. We were there for almost 3 hours. They also said the anesthesia would HAVE to be through IV, and I cannot watch the procedure AT ALL. Most dentist offices I've been to at least allow the family to watch through a window or something. Yeah, I'm making a few phone calls in the morning. My kids will NOT be back.

A couple reasons why I am writing this review . 1 they texted me asking me to do a review 2 other parents should know the actual experience. Both my daughters were scheduled to be there at 0700, when I made my appt they said since it was for a cleaning I will be in and out fairly quickly since I had work at 0800. We arrived at 0650 checked in and the called my girls back by 0700 I was like okay cool this is going rather quickly ibwas happy. First they called my oldest so I waited with my youngest and I went back with her. The doctor never came and talked to me about me oldest daughter . My oldest was done laying in the chair just waiting ,for nothing was not told she was done or okay to leave no one could find her dental assistant either to confirm if her treatment was complete. The doctor came to talk to me about my youngest and how we needed to do further treatment and we spoke about it. When I asked about how much the anesthesia would cost ge told me to speak with the dental assistant they would know more. I then asked if my oldest daughter was good and if there was any concerns? He said oh no she is fine, i then asked if she was okay to go he said ask the dental assistant but i believe so. Again no one could find her so they said they think she is good to go. I then asked the assistant about the cost she said she did not know and the front desk would assist in my questions. I get to the front desk and ask Amy how much does the Anesthesia cost ? She said you need to fill out this packet then we can get her on the schedule. I told her you guys should have gave this to me while I was waiting if I had to fill out a full packet . Once I got to the last page I noticed it states $850 for anesthesia only I said you had me fill out this whole packet knowing the price is at the end and it is $850 she said oh well its actually $750 I said so you knew the price and still didn't tell me? Ibthen asked if my insurance covered it and she said no. I told her to give me prices for other treatment options she said she cannot until the paper prints. I informed her she can see the price at the print preview page and she refused to look . She then printed out the paper and there printer did not print correctly but you can still see the number. I request to look at it she told me no the printer is not working . She went to her managers office and she was no help either. I asked Amy so save the PdF and email to me and she said she can't her computer doesn't allow it. I offered to show her she decline and then stated it looks like it will be like $126 based on this paper that printed i said yes the one I asked to see? That you wouldn't let me ? I asked her to get her manager and she was worthless did not care to listen to me or help with a solution. I informed them I was extremely unhappy with their service to cancel my daughters future appts and not to call me to reschedule as we will NOT be returning for the last of customer service and clarity. I do NOT recommend this place. I will make the drive to their old office in surprise extremely amazing staff and actually kid friendly this office does not cater to children.

Im not sure if I am spelling her name correctly. Her name was Mikayla. I called to establish care for my 3 children. They are new patients. She was very helpful, calm & very nice on the phone. Had great customer service!

We switched to Thunderbird Children's Dentistry as a second opinion from our previous office. I was nervous to switch but it has been nothing but amazing! We did not have dental insurance for many years, so my older two kids have quite a few cavities & needed some work done. The do book up quite fast, but that's okay. Dr Duckworth is amazing with the kids-- mine were super nervous coming in for treatment and he is able to read the child so well & knows how to comfort them. My son didn't want any explanation of the treatment, just didn't want it to hurt and so a movie & small talk was perfect. My daughter on the other hand wanted to know exactly what was going on- he explained every step in a way she could understand & make sure to keep checking on her. Lastly, my two year old hates all doctors or dental appointments. He didn't want to sit for his cleaning, so Dr. Duckworth let me hold him & checked his teeth really quick to make it a smooth appointment. I cannot say enough. We love Dr Duckworth & all of the hygienists have been amazing as well!
