My 3yo child was also pinned down by her arms and legs and traumatized by this Dentist for a 6month cleaning of perfect teeth. She was the second child that I heard screaming & crying while in the wait room. My daughter has never reacted that way before so I knew something was wrong. I waited because I asked the assistant to come get me if she starts getting scared and crying. No one came to get me so I let myself back and as I was approaching the room I could hear her gagging, crying, and choking trying to breathe and I heard her say "Your hurting me" twice and he is saying to her "If you want to be done than you have to hold still, why are you being mean, you're not being nice!" She was clearly being traumatized! This was pointless and crossed the line in this situation. So I said loudly "We are done!" "She needs to be done right Now!" This Dentist ignored me and on the 3rd time he finally took his gloves off and turned towards me visibly angry that I interrupted this. I asked him why they were doing this to her, if something was wrong and if it was necessary and he said "Calm down Mom! Nope, her teeth look great! No cavities! She just wants her toy!" I was irate! I said this is exactly what I did not want to happen to her! I actually x-ray and CT children with traumatic injuries, critical findings, and broken bones and have NEVER seen a child treated like that in my life. I have 3 kids and have been to my share of children's appointments as a patient's mother and as a patient. I have never written a review before but I keep feeling like the child before mine was probably treated the same way and it just makes me sick to my stomach. Many of the ladies working there are nice and I don't know how they can work with a Dentist that is so controlling and mean to any child- especially for no reason. Its common sense to involve the parent if the child is in fear and if it's not an important procedure. She even had to have surgery last year which went great, she is an easy going and brave toddler but he was beyond apathetic. He was just traumatizing in my 3 year olds situation. read more
