I was referred here from my family dentist for my son's dental work. So far my experience has been…read moregreat. The staff is very friendly, polite and well organized. I had several calls initiated by the staff before my visits so that all preparations were in place for our visits. My son's case is a little complicated and the staff is very engaged with all the documents that need to be shared and coordinated with the various dental practices. They even called up a specialist for an emergency consult for me and made the appointment, which was wonderful service. My other kids want to start coming here so I will likely switch their dentist for all of them at their next checkup.

My concerns about this practice began with what I perceived as bias during a conversation with Dr…read more Patty about my child's care escalated when I discovered multiple errors in my children's records, including incorrect insurance and personal information, documentation of treatment that was never provided (stating my 20 month old received xrays), and incomplete notes regarding my conversation with Dr. Patty. During an appointment, I was informed that my autistic child had cavities and that the practice recommended general anesthesia to complete the necessary treatment. I asked reasonable questions about costs, primary teeth, and whether general anesthesia could be avoided, while making it clear that I intended to pursue the necessary care. Dr. Patty asked whether I had "transportation issues" due to the distance to the surgical office in Newark. I found this question unrelated to the concerns I had raised, leaving me feeling that my questions were being interpreted as something other than a parent seeking to understand the recommended treatment. Along with noticing my oldest son (6 y/o) being labeled as the incorrect sex. I also discovered an unsupported "low socioeconomic status" designation in my 20 months old Caries Risk Assessment (CRA), despite never providing financial information and my child having private insurance. The practice gave me conflicting explanations for the designation (the nature of the location of the community along with the medicaid status). After I clarified that my child had private insurance, the assessment was removed. The CRA also appeared on the billing summary, raising further questions about its inclusion. I was additionally told that Dr. Patty claimed I had said both children had Medicaid, which I dispute. Especially since I provided the insurance in detail on the phone that same day. More than a month later, the office manager, Clarence, contacted me about bringing my child in for treatment despite the recommendation for sedation elsewhere, then acknowledged that the call was a mistake after reviewing the notes. This was another example of the practice's repeated errors. Why not review the notes before calling? Especially when I spoke to the office manager a month prior regarding my initial concerns. As a Black mother who attended the appointment alone with my two young children, I am concerned that racial or socioeconomic assumptions may have influenced how we were treated. I cannot know the intent, but the unsupported designation, transportation question, inconsistent explanations, and repeated documentation errors have seriously undermined my trust in this practice. I am grateful my children were not harmed, but families deserve accurate records, respectful communication, and care free from bias.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE FOR ANYTHING REQUIRING PAIN CONTROL…read more.. My daughter had a big cavity on a molar. My family dentist suggested we see a pediatric dentist for the filling because they're faster with the kids, and he suggested Dr. Katie's office. We went in on Friday 9/19/25. Everything up to the drilling went pretty smoothly, but about 30 seconds into drilling my daughter started shrieking in pain, verbalizing that she was in excruciating pain, writhing and kicking in the chair, ripping off the nitrous mask, begging for mommy to save her, etc. I asked Dr. Katie to stop MULTIPLE times before she finally stopped and her assistants let go of my poor daughter and allowed me to calm her down a bit. My daughter again explained to the doctor that she is experiencing extreme pain over and over. I explained to Dr. Katie that I have an extremely high tolerance for and type of numbing or anesthesia and maybe my daughter does too, can we please give her more lidocaine? She acted completely annoyed and responded with, "she is DEFINITELY numb but if it makes you feel better we can give her more". She said my daughter was only freaking out "because of the vibration of the drill". She stated both of those things twice more before I had to say for a third time that in order to proceed my daughter needed more medication. She didn't even give the lidocaine time to kick in after giving it before insisting on continuing to drill as she "only had one small spot left to do" which was also a lie, she drilled for another 2 minutes while my daughter was held down and screaming before stating that she was done. I have only had one cavity in my life, as an adult, and wasn't sure if this was a normal occurrence for a child this age. After asking on a Delaware Moms group on Facebook, it appears what she experienced is not normal AT ALL and that Dr. Katie has done this to other children. She should have felt no pain at all. What I do know for certain as a nurse who works in the operating setting is what sufficient pain control looks like, and what she gave my daughter was trauma- no compassion and certainly not adequate pain control. A pediatric dentist is trained to perform these procedures WITHOUT causing lifetime trauma and Dr. Katie certainly did not provide any of those things. My daughter has repeatedly verbalized to me in the 18 hours since we left the office how much pain she was experiencing and that it was not just the vibration. I know as her mama that she knows the difference between pain and vibration. I have been up all night long in over this entire situation, I can't stop picturing what happened to my poor child. I dislike leaving bad reviews but I don't ever want another child to have an experience like my daughter did. I'm not sure we will ever get her back in a dental office without absolute distress and PTSD.

I can't say enough good things about "Dr Rob"…read more My 6 year old son jumped out of the car and ran inside ahead of me to get "more sugar bugs" taken out because he loves coming here. He's had a couple of serious cavities taken care of and has no fear because of how great Dr Rob is. Dr Rob engages with the children right from the start, uses terms they can understand, let's them understand the tools in a way that keeps them from being scared, and gives prizes all through the process.

Dr Rob is a godsend. My 6 year old daughter has clinically diagnosed anxiety that can be quite…read moresevere. She previously had to be placed under general anesthesia and intubated in the hospital setting to have 4 crowns placed. When she needed a tooth pulled that abscessed after trauma, our gen dmd recommended finding someone nitrous-capable because her anxiety and breakdowns prevented even the simplest routine care. We heard of Dr Rob via word of mouth and I made the appointment. He was amazing. This man just knows how to talk to children, the type with a natural talent. Within three seconds of walking into the room he established a report with my child and she trusted him... I mean from tears to smiles within moments. I was so relieved. I'm pretty sure he would have been successful even without the nitrous. In any which case, she left so happy. When she required yet another appointment to replace one of the crowns previously placed under GA, she walked right into his office with no hesitation. It was, again, a wonderfully positive experience for her. His office is the only healthcare setting she doesn't get nervous in. He's also fairly easy to get an appointment with. Typically they'd schedule me pretty far out and I would ask to call if there were any sooner availability. To my shock, this office actually does call when there's cancellations! Both times, I received a call back and was seen within the week. So don't be deterred if you get scheduled out. Just make the appointment and wait for the call.
