I do not recommend Ms. Billings for your children especially if your children will require more than one visit which is what happened to me. The first visit was good and Ms. Billings advised my husband that my daughter would require about 4 visits. She mentioned children with several visits could begin to dislike going to the dentist, but that she had patience to deal with children. This was not the case. My daughter was 3 yrs old and afraid so she cried a little but was not loud or yelling like some kids. She allowed Ms. Billings to work on her teeth, but after 3 visits was afraid. Ms. Billings became very impatient and rude to my daughter. I did not like the way she would talk to her. At one point my daughter was scared because she was mean to her that she started to cry more. Ms Billings then refused to treat her and told me she was not going to work on her anymore.
We left and as we stepped outside my daughter told me she would go back and not cry. We went back and I told Ms. Billings that my daughter was ready and stated she would not cry. She very rudely told me her time was up and that we needed to leave. The room was very quiet because it was obvious she was rude to us and we were not rude to her in any way. I told her ok and left but then she must have felt bad and called us back in. She was then rude with my daughter and roughly moving her chin each time she needed to move her mouth that I decided to end the session, paid and left. I will never go back to her again. The only reason I lasted this long with her was because I could not find a pediatric dentist in Imperial Valley. Neverland on Wake Ave is worst, they tie your children in straps, horrible experience.
Ms. Billings is not as patient as she claims to be, it appears she needs to retire. I am sure she was a good dentist in her younger years, but she needs to retire. I do not recommend her at all.
The worst part is that the work she did on my daughter was not done correctly. We have since found an awesome dentist in Yuma, AZ. Mr. Kempton and after checking my daughter's teeth Ms. Billings did a horrible job with the three crowns she did on my daughter. Two crowns fell off and the last one was about to fall off. We paid Ms. Billings plenty of money for this only to receive poor service.
I do not recommend her at all. Drive to Yuma, AZ and see Kempton. He is awesome, uses laughing gas to relax our kids, has Disney monitors for children to see movies while their teeth are being worked on, you would love it. He also has four children of his own and lots of patience.
