But meeting the staff, I immediately felt relieved. Our dental hygienist for the kids was Ms. Sandy and she was spectacular. She really talked to my daughter in a way that she'd understand. She was patient with her, let her see all the tools they were going to use, let her pick the toothpaste flavor and was just overall wonderful to my daughter. Our little boy is under one but has lots of teeth, so we got him checked out too. He wasn't a fan of the dentist/hygienists but they were quick and no tears were shed. The receptionists and the billing/scheduling ladies were also really nice. They answered my questions and were quick and efficient. I'm happy with the care my kids received here.

What a stellar customer experience offered by David Perpall, DMD and his staff! I highly recommend…read morethis dental practice serving adults and children. This place exceeded my high expectations. The friendly receptionist Frances was accommodating to book my appointment for a dental cleaning the same day. Then, Frances located rapidly my dental insurance. Moreover, Frances gave me the email of this business. So, my former out-of-state dentist could send my recent X-ray wings to save on unnecessary expenses. Prior to the time of my appointment, a kind reminder was sent by text message to my cell. Everything was pristine on-site. The luxurious waiting room was modern and soothing with grey touches and plenty of comfortable seating area. Complementary coffee, tea and chilled bottles of water were offered. There was also a TV screen, magazines and children's books. The bathroom were located on the right side of the reception. The competent, customer-oriented and pretty hygienist Brooke did a thorough and painless dental cleaning. I appreciated Brooke measured beforehand the depths of each of my gum pocket. After the dental cleaning and polishing of my teeth were complete, Brooke gave pieces of advice on how to improve further my maintenance routine: 2.1. I should diminish the amount of sugar consumed. 2.2. Teeth should be brushed with an extra-soft toothbrush at a 45 degree angle. 2.3. Each tooth should be flossed individually by being hugged in a C motion. Then, the knowledgeable, agreeable, honest and easy on the eyes David Perpall, DMD performed a visual inspection of my teeth. I liked David didn't try to sell me unnecessary services. This dentist seems to have the best interests of his customers at heart. This venue has convenient opening hours: you can book appointments as early as 7:00 am. You can park easily on their free parking.

After the procedure, apparently more costs were incurred due to a miscommunication with insurance reimbursement, which we were informed of by letter while out of town due to a family emergency. When I called the day after getting back to town and receiving the letter, I courteously explained our circumstances and apologized for the delay, offering to pay the balance in full immediately. I was told that our family was kicked out of the practice with absolutely no option for readmittance. Don't expect to have any consideration for life circumstances from this practice.

We have been coming here for years and love Dr Miller. His staff on the other hand is rude and does…read morenot listen to parent request. I asked that my daughter not have x rays, at the end of appointment consult I was told she had X-rays done but not to worry they were covered by insurance. This was not the reason we did not want X-rays done. I have had it in all 4 of my children's file that I don't want fluoride since they have started coming, but I still have to tell them everytime. My son was there for his 2nd visit and as I was speaking with Dr, the hygienist came by and stuck something in my son's mouth as she was walking out the door. He started gagging and I had to ask for water so he wouldn't throw up. She had completed her part 5-10 minutes prior, the Dr came in and did his part and we were just talking about his findings. That is when she put fluoride in his mouth. I called the next day to discuss my concerns about not feeling heard and she was the one who answered. She denied My account of events and said it should have been in their file. I asked why it wasn't bc it should be and why isn't me verbally telling them wasnt listened to. She said she would talk with her staff, then she informed me that my 2 year old would not be able to be seen at 4 any longer because of his behavior. I asked what she was referring to bc she was in the room when the doctor made a comment about how well he was behaving and not moving during exam. She said it was after exam when we were leaving . He was "screaming" bc he didn't want to leave. I reminded her that he has a speech delay and that is how he communicates. I picked him up and carried him out as soon as he started. We were the only people in the waiting room. They also charge a behavior management fee when doing procedure like sealants if you decide not to put your child under. I asked if just nitrous oxide could be used and was told if she moved her tongue too much than a behavior management fee would be charge and they wouldn't complete service. For a pediatric office they have no patience for children with any sort of normal, age appropriate behaviors. God forbid if they are below the curve. It is a shame because we all used to love going there and now I don't feel like my kids are safe, heard, or even liked.

I feel compelled to leave a review based on a recent experience my brother and I have had as a…read moreresult of dental work we received here as teenagers and later, young adults. We saw Dr. Blanco growing up for many years and received several fillings throughout our time. However, as a young adult, I have had 3 different dentists point out deficiencies in the technology and technique that was used in our fillings, first at age 23, then 26, and now again at age 28. I have had to have all 5 fillings that I received from Dr. Blanco removed and replaced. I was told by 3 separate dentists, all of whom I trusted, that they were using old fillings ("technology from the nineties") and that much better options would have been available at the time that I received the fillings. They shared that as a result my fillings were cracking 5-8 years before what could have reasonably been expected, hence the additional hours of dental work and $1000 I had to spend getting all replaced. My brother had a similar experience. In fact, his fillings were so compromised that he had to have a corrective root canal. While there are always several factors to consider here, the common denominator has been multiple professionals pointing out flaws in the technology and application. I hope things have improved at Dr. Blanco's since then -- I would be curious to know and you should ask before having yourself or your children receive fillings here.
