I originally posted this review under a different location by mistake, even though I had never…read morevisited that office. This review is intended for the correct location.
This dental clinic is part of the URMC hospital system. In addition to regular dental appointments upstairs, they also offer urgent dental care for patients who are not already part of the system, which is incredibly helpful in an emergency. They accept most insurance plans.
My only minor complaint is that the signage and check in process could be clearer. If it's your first visit, it may take a little extra time to figure out exactly where to go and how to get started.
For routine dental care, you can receive comprehensive treatment here, but be aware that scheduling an appointment may take some time. This is on the first floor. If you just need a dentist call in and make an appointment with general dentistry.
For urgent care, you complete a form, wait to be called, and then are seen based on the severity of your issue from my view point. From what I understand, Mondays and Fridays tend to be especially busy.
I arrived a few minutes after 8:00 AM for a dental emergency, and the waiting room was already full. Even so, from check-in to the completion of my visit, the entire process took about an hour and a half, which I thought was quite reasonable considering the circumstances. Of course, the total time will depend on the treatment you need and how many patients, staff and what they need to take care of.
The staff were pleasant, helpful, and professional. The dentists, hygienists, and other clinical staff were knowledgeable, friendly.
One thing to note is that you may be treated by dental professionals who are completing advanced training or working toward licensure in the United States. Many are experienced dentists from other countries. Rest assured, they work under the supervision of licensed dentists and instructors, so you are in very capable hands.
The clinic is easily accessible by public transportation, and there is a parking garage available on site. However, parking is not validated I know it's annoying and believe me people were annoyed. Oh well.....
