    Awesome children's dentist office! Makes visits fun and memorable for the kids…read more Everyone is genuine, super kind, and kid friendly. They know how to relate to children well! (This was my main focus because it helps children feel welcome and cared about w/o feeling super anxious) Quick with cleaning and examination. Kids have a fun room to wait in and another patient waiting room with huge TV game pads! Kids can pick out a toy for a prize afterwards!! My kids LOVED that part. Even the anxious 3 year old did well!!! Dr Warrington was great! Professional, thorough, and took his time answering my questions. Saw him with another patient and he was awesome handling what looked like a difficult dental situation. Visits are easy to schedule online (they call you back) and on phone. Located in a beautiful area of West Des Moines. Building is easy to find. Interior design and decor of office is clean cut and simple. Very eye catching. Main dental cleaning area is open with lots of windows that bring in sunlight. Private rooms for private and closer exams. We scheduled our next visit already!

    Terrible experience here. I won't return unless there is no other choice. They wont let you in the…read moreroom with your children. They make you sit outside the closed room on a wooden block. They have their own convenience in mind first patient second and parent last. If you have other children not being seen you have to have another adult watch them or leave them home. I had to add to this review because our experience when we left was even more terrible. The doctor went from one treatment room to my daughters without washing her hands and had the same face mask on. While my daughter was laying in the chair the lady helping the doctor sprayed a toxic chemical multiple times right in close proximity to her face. Within a foot. When I talked to the dr. about my issues she didn't want to hear it. She just kept saying she didn't do anything wrong. When I spoke to the office manager about my concerns they said that we could not return. I told her that treatment would likely be delayed if they did not finish the other half and they said they didn't care because we aren't a "good fit" for them. Be warned, unless you're a good girl and do what they tell you, you will not be able to come back and don't dare voice any concerns that you have to them.

The staff are friendly and take time to explain the purpose of the visit and the dentist meets with you personally afterward to review findings and recommendations. The waiting room doesn't have a TV but there are magazines and toys for little ones in a play corner. The office seems to run on schedule and gets patients in and out quickly.

    Im writing this review to simply be a guiding light to other parents that are in a similar…read moresituation we were in with our 2 year old son. Unfortunately my son's 4 front teeth decayed. We brought him in to Dr. Whittemore, who was great and applied a treatment onto his teeth to arrest the decaying process. This treatment was only a temporary fix. As we knew his decay would eventually cause infection. So, time was definitely of the essence. This is where things got tricky, months later. We had an O. R. Appointment scheduled for surgery with dr whitmore to remove or put caps on his teeth (if the decay hadnt gone to his roots). Unfortunately i didnt answer my phone a couple times they called (my son had pneumonia in the hospital) and our spot was given to another child who needed an OR surgery. Basically; the only other OR surgery availability that Dr whitmore had was in February of 2022. This was way too far out and we didnt have that time so Dr Whittemore was extremely adamant on pulling out his four teeth IN his dentist office only using novacane. They were going to wrap him up in a "burrito" and pull the four teeth out. This sounded traumatic and i was very hesitant but yet everyone in that office was pressuring me to QUICKLY get this done. I definitely appreciated DrWhittemore's push to prevent infection. But In the back of my head, i kept asking myself "why cant he just call around to other dentists he knew that DID have OR time." Especially in our case when our appt was given to someone else.. I figured that was my job. And accepted that. Obviously dr whitmore pulls a lot of teeth and he felt our son could of handled this process. But i felt it was too much, and luckily, i spoke to a relative anesthesiologist about this in office event and he strongly advised against it bec novacane was painful in itself and it was just too traumatic for four teeth. It was better to do it in a hospital. So my relative gave me the name of a pediatric dentist who frequents the Hospital he works at often. Called and met this dentist, who said he believed we did have a little time (it wasnt as urgent as Whitmore's opinion). We got an appt in the OR for October. What's bothersome to me, is when we called to tell Whittemore's office that we were not going to go through with the in office pulling of teeth, they said they were worried about our son and they wanted to refer us to (the same dentist we just made an appt with!!!). Their concern was way too late. Again, They were wanting to pull my sons teeth out a long while before this call. They never even offered "maybe this dental place can do it". Again, I had been stalling with whitmores office bec it didnt feel right to me. So their concern felt upsetting. The best thing about this story and the thing i want to emphasize is that my son's roots werent decayed at all. This dentist was able to give my son caps. So he didnt have to be front of mouth toothless for the next 6 years of his life. This wouldnt of been possible had Dr. Whitmore simply pulled them out in his office. I also want to mention that in-office sedation can be dangerous too. Dr whitmore never offered that, but many dentists do. So, moral to the story- if it doesnt feel right to you, dont do it and look around. Thank god my relative helped get me this appt with this dentist.

I was obviously frustrated and let them know that by May she should have already had another biannual appointment and that we would not like to wait until then. Their response was that they could put us on the list for cancellations, or send us her records to be seen somewhere else. I was very disappointed in the lack of patient service, especially as this was all done over text, I did not receive one phone call over this matter. We will be seeing a new dentist, but I would highly recommend this practice re-evaluates their rescheduling procedures, especially when the cancellation is coming from the office's end.
