I'd like to state prior to coming here my son had been to a pediatric dentist before had some work done and never had to go under anesthesia. He had 3 small cavities that needed to be filled so I booked a appointment, during the appointment I had to sit outside the room (my son is 5) and watch in the distance, the dentist claimed she counted continue because he kept sticking his hands in his mouth. She then referred us to a dentist to have him go under anesthesia all the way in Raleigh. I found another pediatric dentist in New Bern and my son like always had no problems getting his cavities filled without anesthesia. From what I got at that office is that the dentist prefers to take your money for cleanings and does not like to do any other dental work because most likely you will just get referred out.

He is not familiar with ipads or tablets and did not understand how to use one for office forms. He asked for help repeatedly and was sent to his chair to figure it out. Which he did not!

Thus is very disappointing and very poor customer service. Accessibility is so important to seniors and you guys really dropped the ball.

What an experience. For clarification, I visited their clinic twice, once for a painful broken…read moretooth, and later for a crown. When I went in for the broken tooth, the hygienist was fantastic, she's the only reason I am offering two stars, instead of a one-star review. When I went in for my crown, I don't know what the dentist (Dr Sipes) did but it was 100x more painful than the root canal (I got elsewhere). I begged the dentist to stop doing whatever was causing so much pain, but she said she would not. I was sobbing and felt victimized. There was nothing I could do. Once the crown was done, she said something along the lines of an apology. In truth, I was too traumatized to hear her words, I just wanted to go home. I paid my bill and left. Weeks later I get a call asking me to schedule a cleaning and other things. I told them I was not interested in coming back to their clinic because I had such a terrible experience. Today I get a bill in the mail, and a text message telling me that I owe them more money. Saying that the payment I made when I left the clinic after my crown "may have been off a little after insurance processed the claim". Seems fishy to me. I hope other patients have a better experience than I did.

I couldn't be happier with how thorough, professional, and friendly Dr. Futrell and his entire staff have been. He doesn't make you feel rushed even though you know he's very busy.

We went to another family dentistry across town (they were also exceptional in treatment of my kids, I still go there for myself) but since they caught a cavity they sent us to White & Johnson, knowing they could handle my oldest kids anxiety. I am beyond grateful to have such an amazing staff to work with my kids. The layout is efficient, the teamwork that I have witnessed during our appointments is flawless , and bedside manner is second to none- they sing songs, talk to the kids throughout cleanings to explain what they're doing and reassure them, and are completely transparent about everything upfront with parents. The only crying my anxiety-prone child did was in the wilmington office, as they tried to get the gas mask on him (he ultimately had to have his cavity taken care of at the hospital under general anesthesia) but even having gone through that, he is not at all scared of coming back. THAT is how I know they're doing everything right. While we do spend a bit more money here than we did elsewhere, but it certainly shows in the quality of care our kids receive.
