I was looking for a dentist for my daughter. I will be honest with you... I am a large man and when I read that last review... Whoa!!!! it scared me. We all love our children and don't want them to scream or be in pain but I just felt maybe this person had a bad experience or some other reason for thier visceral disgust. So, I thought I should check it out for myself.
Here is my objective, unbiased view. GREAT! Complete total opposite of this other person. The place is clean, brightly painted with nice kid colors. There is a playstation in the waiting room and even though it was hard to figure out, MY problem, we still did and it was fun. The doctor was very friendly and professional and knew what she was doing. I would say very competent. There staff was good as well. Friendly and over and over called my daughter by her name! I LIKE THAT. On the chair, my daughter had a TV on the ceiling that she laid down and watched. At first I thought she just had music to relax to with the headphones but then I looked up and there was a tv, that made me laugh. What an idea that is. My daughter was truly distracted. I held her hand because I AM the whimp and I sure don't want her to feel ANY pain... you know? What parent does but she had no problem, no issues. She is not TRAMATIZED by the dentist visit. As a matter of fact... she had a small cavity and it needs to be filled. I asked the doctor if she was going to fill it today and she said no, we don't like to do that because we like the first visit to be a positive one so she is not scared of the dentist. Cause YES, I am sure filling a cavity is not a pleasureable experience. How could it be! So the other review... Yes, I know... scary but what can you do... has to be done. She will get gas when she comes back the next time to relax her and I will hold her hand again... and yes the doctor will have to drill... that is what needs to be done BUT there is no pavlov experience here... she has good feelings and good thoughs and was a positive experience so she is not scared to come back. VERY SMART!!! My daughter actually smiled and was proud of herself. They had a treasure chest and a new toothbrush she got... instructions on how to brush, toothpaste and a toy. Come mon... I am a big softy but what more can you do to make it easier for a child. Ahhh, yes, general anithesia but is that always safe to do all the time? No, there are big risks... some don't wake up.
I liked her a lot. Nice person and knowledgable... friendly as her staff and the only thing missing from her office is Willy Wonka and his assistant Dora!!!! I would say not to be affraid and scared off by what the other person wrote. I had to check it out for mself. I can always walk out and say... nevermind but each step of the way in the process... I was more and more relaxed. Trust me... after the drama review... Yikes! I was really freakin nervous. If you read mine... please go and find out for yourself if you go or take the time to read this book. I just felt it was such an unfair review that I had to write something myself to set the record straight. Truly and honestly. Dr. Lin is our new daughters dentist, for sure. A very nice person and a beautiful office with truly competent staff who uses her name and is friendly... what more could someone want??? Geez. Thats all you need!!! read more
