We LOVE this practice...they are thorough and always do a great job.

We've been with the practice for 10 years beginning with my daughter and carrying into my son…read more For years we had great service but there were flags along the way that always made us a little uncomfortable. It kept feeling like we were in a factory on an assembly line and very impersonal. Not really a relationship. By chance, I filled out a post treatment feedback survey and mentioned that we had never even met Dr. G. The next appointment, they made me wait at checkout and she very uncomfortably got in my face saying "Heeeeere I AM. Now you've seen me." It was odd. A couple years later, my son had a bunch of cavities pop. He was quite nervous about it during one filling and they course corrected to help make him comfortable. The next cleaning, Dr. G was the doctor. First time ever 9 years in. She burst into the room and yelled "this time you're getting THE BOSS." He was petrified and wasn't really cooperative. We got the basics done. She recommend 6 fillings, most on baby teeth and that we have him undergo anesthesia in Brighton to have it done. We discussed with his doctor and he recommended against it as it would fuel more concerns with dental anxiety to bring him to a strange place and put him out. He recommended trying an anti anxiety med with a dentist in the office that he had worked with before successfully. We communicated this back to Dr. G but didn't hear back. Flash forward 6 months, we had to get a tooth extracted for my daughter recently at the request of her orthodontist. We called to book and they told us that the family had been removed from the practice due to treatment philosophy. No communication, no notice. This is how we found out. My daughter is devastated as she liked the place a lot. Looking back, it seemed par for the course....impersonal, no relationship, self-important vibe by the owner. In summary, good location, pretty good service and availability but it is her way or the high way. We agree with other comments that she seems more inclined to drill on baby teeth than many other dentists.

On behalf of my four-year-old, this place rocks…read more Immaculate precautions for hygenic visits (regulated traffic in and out of the office, temp checks and sanitizing measures at the door, individual purifiers in every patient suite), and never late for a scheduled appointment, it's a tight run ship. Hygienist Lisa was awesome with a hyper, cabin-fevered kiddo, giving names and "kid-friendly" applications to the entire cleaning process (my fave: Mr. Thirsty for the mouth vac). Any discomfort or unease from my boy melted away with her engaging conversation and demeanor. Thank you Lisa. Dr. Heather was direct and didn't try to upsell X-rays, procedures or anything - just straight-forward advice for the next six months of a constantly changing PreK mouth. Plus, he got an invisible ink pen, a Spider Man toothbrush, bubble gum toothpaste and floss sticks on the way out! Where'd the ink end up? My coffee cup and his nose, mostly. Stellar spot that gets kids and what they need to feel comfortable. An easy five stars.

Not only did they get to sit in the same room, next to each other, but they got to watch screens, have the hygienist explain absolutely everything to them as they went along, play with toys during the cleanings, and get a very cool goodie bag at the end! The hygienists and doctor were absolutely delightful and fun, but on top of that, they clearly are highly trained and know their stuff. They spotted something in one of my kids that was of actual concern (not related to her teeth), and advised me to talk to my pediatrician. Thanks for looking out for her!

I came on Yelp to leave a review, and I see that nearly every caregiver mentions Dr. Anderson specifically. I was not at all surprised to see other glowing reviews! They were kind, patient, reassuring, and explained to my child in age-appropriate terms exactly what was going to happen. I wasn't sure how my child would act in a new place, especially for something traditionally "scary" for kids, but he felt immediately at home. They answered all my questions, addressed my concerns, and I left feeling more confident than ever to help my child take care of their teeth. My only complaint is that I can't switch to this dentist!

My twelve-year-old son on January 12, 2016, which was scheduled as a consultation for a possible…read moretooth extraction. After we were seated, forty minutes after our appointment time, an assistant asked whether nitrous oxide would be used, which I declined. The dentist then entered the room without washing her hands and did not introduce herself or confirm my son's identity. She did not explain that she intended to proceed with an extraction. She briefly referenced a "bite block" without clarifying the nature of the procedure. Without obtaining informed consent, the dentist administered Novocaine and exited the room, again without washing her hands. After the injection, an assistant presented an iPad for consent. I asked what I was being asked to sign and was told to "read the iPad." The dentist then returned and extracted the tooth. Post-procedure instructions were provided only after the extraction was completed. At no point prior to Novocaine administration or extraction was informed consent obtained. Additionally, I observed a lack of hand hygiene upon entry and exit, which was concerning as the dentist continued to see other patients. I raised these concerns during the visit. My feedback was dismissed and met with explanations rather than acknowledgment.

Unprofessional, Not Child-Appropriate, and Abandoned a Pediatric Patient…read more I am beyond disappointed with my experience at this dental office, and I feel obligated to warn other parents. This office is not kid-friendly, not compassionate, and completely unprofessional when dealing with pediatric patients. My daughter was in extreme pain during a tooth extraction, crying loudly and trying to get out of the chair due to how traumatic and painful the experience was. Any parent in that situation would be distressed. Instead of showing professionalism, patience, or basic bedside manner, the dentist became confrontational, escalated the situation, and ultimately refused to complete the procedure. She abruptly walked away and told us to "go somewhere else," leaving my child in the chair with instruments still in her mouth, actively bleeding, and with a broken tooth left unfinished. My daughter was left crying, shaken, and injured--both physically and emotionally. Abandoning a pediatric patient mid-procedure is unacceptable and dangerous. This was not just poor service; it was reckless and traumatizing. I will never return here, and I strongly advise parents to think twice before trusting this office with their children.

We did come for consultation and after a few months we can get his teeth straighten out (one is taken out and the other 8 is crowned for his own good). We're so worried to see to see him going through the whole process because he had to take the med for the procedure and he wasn't himself til it wears out (a good 3-4 hours later). He had early appointment and left around noon. He's back to normal around 5pm and we're pleased with the results.
