If you have a foot problem, definitely see Madeline Bedard-Ryan…read more Be prepared to wait about two months before you can get an appointment- and that's on the quick side. In the office, immediately she'll look at and then tape your foot with a pad or support and suggest you wear it for a about a week. Once it's padded, during the office visit she will talk about and push you toward getting custom orthotics made. You may get a song and dance about ones she's had to make for others, especially one of her children and how much it's benefited her since she was very very young. X-Rays follow to show what the problem is, and how it can be dealt with. A second appointment will have you getting your foot taped up in a bracing to be worn for a week, and may leave you with heel pain once taken off. The same orthotics lecture will be presented again. To schedule follow up appointments after a problem is diagnosed, her nurse Wendy will then tell you custom orthotics are the solution which will solve any problem you may have, at the recommendation of Dr. Bedard-Ryan. Then, if you have the audacity to disagree and say you just want the problem fixed because it's causing you so much pain and the padding/taping didn't help- you're cut off and spoken over. If you can get a word in edgewise, and manage to explain you don't want the problem simply masked by shoe inserts which will run $150-$200 and not covered by insurance, you'll have the pleasure of having her tell you to seek out a second opinion. No compromise- this office wants you to buy orthotics first before other treatment is available and offered. Moral of the story: She wants everyone in custom orthotics as the main treatment. First, it's trying a pad first, then taping your foot up to "see if this helps" while literally telling you there's no other options available unless orthotics are casted, bought, worn and "tried out" for months before anything further is done. If there's a problem, like a bunion which can be removed quite easily, listening to the *patient* explain how they've dealt with the pain and annoyance for years and it's at the point where wearing flip flops or going barefoot is becoming the only option for relief should hold some weight to have the bunion removed. Not masked with shoe inserts, and then surgery months later because they didn't work in the first place. But don't worry- there's a payment plan available through the billing department in case you have trouble coming up with the money. So yeah. I'm not so pleased with my "treatment" at all. I would definitely not recommend her. The positive: She has a very nice and kind demeanor, and explains things very well.

He evaluated her and came up with a step by step plan to address all of her needs, and to restore her to optimal oral health. When they first began treatment, she was just recovering from some major health issues, and I may have been over protective, and overbearing. He and his exceptional team were patient, kind and attentive. They addressed any concerns we had before starting, and have been responsive and reassuring along he way. I used to feel like I needed to micro manage all her appointments and care, but not with these guys. She always tells me how well he and his staff treat her when she visits. They have made a big difference for her health and her self confidence. I'm so thankful we chose this dentist!

Fast forward to today when I show up for my appointment. They told me that they tried texting me and calling me all day to confirm my appointment with no Response. I told them I hadn't received any messages or calls and when they read me back the phone numbers they had those weren't my numbers. Mind you it was not my fault they didn't have my correct phone number. So I showed up for my appointment and they were mad at me for not responding and saying I would be there. The dentist proceeded to lecture me and let me know they tried to reach me with no answer. Again, I told him you can call the phone number that I gave you. It's in my hand. You had the wrong number. So he got mad at me for not answering messages to the wrong number. He told me I had a history of canceled appointments, which I have been there for several years and had a lot of work done. I did not habitually cancel or miss appointments. I left work 45 minutes early to show up to a dentist appointment that I had scheduled and even asked at the time of making the appointment if they needed my number. I was stunned and still can't believe I was being lectured about an appointment that I showed up to and had no idea they were trying to get a hold of me. Why would you be upset with a patient that showed up to an appointment she made? I said it was extremely rude to talk to me that way and I was leaving. I told them I would look for a new dentist and he said "perfect. Good bye." I do not recommend this place.
