I've been coming to Petite Dental for 7 years and I'll never go anywhere else for pediatric dental…read morecare. Everyone here is kind, positive, and patient with the littles. It's a dream for a parent with dental anxiety! Fast forward to this week: after an appointment, my kitten popped the balloon they gave us. Kiddo was SO sad, so I took a chance and called to ask if we could come pick up a replacement. Celeste was instantly full of empathy! She understood the importance of the balloon, and didn't hesitate to make a new one! What a huge relief it was! When I arrived and needed help with other services, she was so helpful, communicated clearly and was just a blast to talk to. And her coworker (should have gotten her name) was so fun, chatty, and helpful too. It made a stressful situation so much easier to handle.

After 14 years as patients at Petite Dental, I'm incredibly disappointed that this is how our…read morerelationship ended. When we first started coming here, the care was personal. Dr. Hoang spent time with us, explained treatment, and made us feel genuinely cared for. We even continued driving from Buda after we moved because we trusted the practice. Unfortunately, over the years, that changed. Every visit began to feel more like an assembly line than personalized healthcare. My children have always had difficult teeth, and while I understand treatment recommendations can vary between dentists, I increasingly felt judged rather than supported. We also consistently felt overtreated, and the bedside manner often left my children in tears after appointments. No child should leave a dental office feeling ashamed. The doctor even judged me for holding my toddler one time she said something like "you're too big to be held" Excuse me.?! I know you have your own children and you are probably the most perfect mom but no need to judge other moms. The biggest turning point was with my oldest daughter. We were told she needed a crown and were essentially told she should transition out of the practice because of the complexity of her dental needs. I sought a second opinion from a dentist in Buda. Their recommendation was completely different: no crown, just more frequent cleanings and sealants. She's doing great. This wasn't the first time I'd needed a second opinion. Several years ago, another extensive treatment plan was presented for Jaidyn. At the time, my father, who was a dentist, examined her and strongly disagreed with the proposed treatment. I requested a meeting with Dr. Hoang, and after reevaluating her herself, she recommended a much simpler treatment plan. That experience stayed with me. The problems weren't limited to treatment recommendations. Communication and scheduling became increasingly frustrating. One visit ended with my daughter Jovan leaving without her next orthodontic appointment being scheduled. I was the one who discovered it, called the office, and was initially told we'd have to wait another month. Thankfully Lisa stepped in and got her scheduled sooner, but it was another preventable mistake. There were other examples too. I once drove all the way to the office to pick up a retainer, only to find out it hadn't even arrived. I had to make another trip because no one had contacted me beforehand. Again, Lisa helped smooth things over, but these communication breakdowns became a pattern. What has disappointed me even more than the treatment differences is the complete lack of communication and compassion. Months ago, I expressed my concerns and requested a call from Dr. Hoang. That call never came. At my most recent visit, I again shared how hurt I was by our previous experience. No apology. No acknowledgment. I even had to point out that no one had simply said, "I'm sorry you've had this experience." Then came my youngest daughter's cleaning. I was quoted more than $200 out of pocket. At no point did anyone ask whether I had secondary dental insurance or thoroughly review my benefits. Had someone simply asked, I could have provided my additional insurance information, and my daughter would have been fully covered. Instead, I walked out and canceled every future dental appointment. Ironically, I later learned from another dental office that not only was my daughter fully covered under my secondary policy, but even without insurance their out-of-pocket cost would have been almost half of what I was quoted at Petite Dental. When I asked why no one had followed up with me, I was told the office had tried to contact me. I have plenty of appointment reminder texts, but I have no emails and no meaningful communication from the financial team regarding my concerns or insurance. That was another missed opportunity. After 14 years, all I wanted was accountability, compassion, and one simple phone call from the doctor. It never happened. I'm grateful we've found a new dental home where my children feel welcomed instead of judged. We'll finish our orthodontic contract because we've already committed to it, but I can no longer recommend the dental side of this practice. Fourteen years is a long time to stay loyal to a practice. I never expected perfection. I simply expected to be treated like a person instead of a number.

I have always been a stickler for good teeth and River Rock Dental has helped bolster that in some…read moreways. They are quick, to the point, and have helped me through a series of situations I had nowhere else to turn. When I first came here, I wanted to get my wisdom teeth removed and then re-aligned after having braces for years as a child and was interested in starting Invisalign. My wisdom teeth had shifted my teeth around, I lost confidence in my smile, and knew I needed to take further action. I found RiverRock via a Google Search, saw the good reviews, and it was 3 minutes from my house. But due to my previous experience with orthodontists, I was a bit skeptical of the kind of help I would receive. At first, I had a rough start with one of the orthodontist; Dr. Fortanely. The end-result that was described to me for my Invisalign during my consultation appointment wasn't exactly how I imagined, and it felt that not a lot of time or care went into seeing other ways I could get my teeth straightened the way I wanted it. Additionally, every appointment felt very rushed - while I appreciate a quick turn-a-round, I am still a patient with concerns and want to feel my doctor cares about that. However, now after over a year in of Invisalign and working with the orthos, my teeth have brought me more confidence than ever before. They have continually checked in on me to make sure that everything is looking how I would like, and have ordered me new retainers to make small adjustments to ensure I am getting the results closer to what I desire - but it is about net-zero from my first experiences. Additionally, in the midst of my retainer journey, I had a food trap (a gap between teeth) in my back molars caused by extra space from removing my wisdom teeth that was causing me migraine / crying level pain anytime I ate, flossed, etc. and would have to just sleep anytime I triggered it in order to handle the pain. They brought me in for a quick emergency appointment and after telling them that flossing was also causing so much pain, the first thing the orthos did was shove a piece of floss into the gap - I was crying in the office chair and felt like no one had listened to me. THANKFULLY, they transferred me over to the dentistry side, where Dr. Zachary Carlson got me the help I needed with a numbing shot and extra cleaning, which did the job perfectly. He showed so much compassion to the pain that I was in and gave me multiple options of how to go forward with management. While this place is amazing for dentistry; cleaning, etc. it is a bit pricey (even with insurance), and I would suggest getting other opinions for your orthos.

River Rock Dental- Southpark Meadows - Requiring me to sign an NDA for the cancelation of my…read moreservices due to their negligence and malpractice during mine and my daughter's treatment During my orthodontic treatment at River Rock Dental, I had major changes to my teeth, bite, smile, and even my facial appearance that I did not expect or ask for. I was never told clearly that my treatment would involve widening my mouth or smile in this way, and I did not want that. As time went on, I started noticing big changes that worried me, including how my teeth fit together and how my smile and face looked. It got serious enough that I stopped treatment there and switched to a different orthodontist. My new orthodontist is now reviewing everything, including X-rays and records, to figure out what happened and what needs to be fixed... But I've been told the damage they did is irreversible... No way to fix what they did to me. During a crown replacement at River Rock, some of my natural teeth were shaved down. After that, I noticed that teeth that used to touch when I bit down no longer make proper contact. This changed my bite in a way that didn't exist before the procedure. Because natural tooth structure was removed, I'm very concerned about it. The new orthodontist has reviewed my daughter's and condition and also has concerns about how her previous treatment was handled. She now needs corrective and continued treatment.Instead of just finishing the treatment I already paid for, we now have to start over elsewhere to fix and complete her care properly. This means I have to start paying for corrective treatment that's another $6k out of my pocket since RRD used all of daughter's insurance coverage.

It's been 5 weeks, I've called 3 times, each time they say someone will call me back with info, no info or return call ever comes. When I call, a machine picks up. Today I drove to their office to speak with them in person, the office was closed. This operation appears to be a scam, a front for something of questionable legality. I plan to fight to recover my $500!
