    It only took one visit for me to know this was not the place for me or my child. In my opinion they…read moreare more concerned with appearing to be a great place for children than they are actually focused on our children's care. It's all about the Bippo character, getting permission to take pictures to post on social media, giving the kids a gift after the visit, and things of this nature. Now, if you're thinking, well, this all seems like things that would help the child be comfortable, and want to return to the dentist. That would be a good assumption if the actual dental work area wasn't set up so badly. It's basically an open space. This means that they can see, hear, even smell all the other dental work going on, and that's insanely overstimulating to children. More specifically to our experience. After the dentist took a look at my son we were taken to a room to discuss further treatment. My son had some bad cavities, and I was told he would need to be given sedation, but not put completely out, and that he would be fastened to the chair, oh and that I could not be present for this. I left this place feeling helpless, crying, and not understanding how this could be the way to help my son. After I calmed down I looked around for other pediatric dentists, and found the care that he needed, and that I felt comfortable with. I hope other people have a good experience here, but I would never personally recommend this office to anyone I know.

    Man this place sucks. Wanting to put a 3 year old under with restraints, without parents in the…read moreroom for three "cavities" is wild and uncomfortable. After getting second opinion, new dentist says two of them have the potential to become cavities but are not yet and the third was none existent. New dentist gave treatment without having to borderline scar my child for life. Soooo they wanted to do all that to my 3 year old for what? Not a dang thing besides money... because the quote was $1200 after what my insurance covered...come on now that's absurd and disappointing. And don't get me started how rude they were when asking for the X-rays. Sorry for the long review, but this place is a disappointment to humanity. Wouldn't recommend to even go park in their parking lot their so bad. Maybe to use their bathroom because that is all they are good for.

    Bippo's is a dentist geared towards kids…read more As you enter through the children's entrance, it is like walking into a play room. The walls are painted in bright colors and there are displays along the wall of what appear to be scenes from children's books. Inside the office there is a giant fish tank with several Nemo character fish. The fish tank is inside of a simulated rock formation. Kids can enter the rock formation and view the tank from behind too. There are also several computer touch screens mounted on the wall of the waiting area so kids can play games while waiting for the dentist. Outside is a giant playground with slides, etc. The staff here is very friendly. they understand kids, and make sure they are well taken care of. If it is their first trip, a costumed Bippo will come out and take a photo with your child. They then print the photo and give it to you before you leave. The dentists and hygienists do a very good job. They are patient with the children and explain things to the parents very thoroughly. I highly recommend this dentist office if you have children.

    Horrible experience! After waiting three hours in the waiting room, they finally saw us and I was…read morenot even allowed to be in the same room while my three year old was being treated. They gave her anesthesia and laughing gas and my daughter came out very disoriented. They used the old style of aluminum caps and fillings. They have a white amalgam on hand but they won't use it if your insurance won't pay for it, even if you agree to come out of pocket and pay for the better filling. I think they are just stingy with materials and don't want to take their time and do it right. They even told me that it's just a baby tooth, it will fall out anyway. The office secretary was rude. P.s. I swore I would never go to Bippos again, but we had to because of a dental emergency. Three hour wait...again. Lady was still rude. P.P.S......and Bippo the hippo is scary:(

    I brought my daughter (9 years old) in on January 28, 2025, for a procedure and was told to return…read morethe very next day, January 29, without any consideration for our family's schedule. My husband advised me to cancel due to work commitments, which I did. We rescheduled for February 5, 2025, arriving at 9:30 AM. We waited until 12:30 PM, and my daughter never even saw a doctor. This is unacceptable, especially since she had not eaten since 7:00 PM the night before. Instead of taking responsibility for this poor service, I received a dismissive letter blaming us for "ongoing challenges" and "disrespectful behaviors." It feels like the office lacks accountability and concern for their patients' well-being. My experience at Dr. Kris's office was very disappointing. His staff was unprofessional and seemed indifferent to their patients. My daughter went without food from 7:00 PM on February 4 until 1:00 PM on February 5, waiting for an appointment that never happened. Rather than owning up to their mistakes, they sent a long letter blaming us for the issues. I will not recommend this office to anyone.

    This place is EXTRAORDINARY TO SAY THE LEAST! This facility, the doctor and every single staff…read moremember my family and I've encountered have been heaven sent. They truly get it! They know that every child they encounter is different! I'm not sure if they keep notes of the child's likes or dislikes but it certainly does seem like it. They are always prepared with the proper accommodations and willing to quickly adjust as necessary. Their patience is undeniable. We are never rushed and we are always allowed time in between steps to ensure comfort. During EVERY SINGLE VISIT they have allowed my child to be apart of the process and the decisions made while providing optimal care. They not only provide great care they educate him on the importance of great hygiene. They explain things so that he understands and makes them relatable. I can't explain how happy I am that I've found this group of people. I only wish they provided more than dental care. No matter where you are located, please know that are worth it! They are truly concerned with the care of their patients.

I visited her for fillers because of an Instagram special she was hosting for a really great price on a syringe of Juvederm! Upon arrival, the office has something on every other seat for social distancing if having to wait in the area. The receptionists and tech that assisted were kind and funny! They asked me questions on what I was wanting and helped to put me at ease. Dr. Astrid kept the conversation flowing, making you feel comfortable immediately. The experience was over fairly quick and results were exactly what I wanted! Go see her!

    Absolutely horrible. I have had good experiences in the past, but today was beyond horrible, and…read morethe young lady kept putting stuff in front of me to sign. She said I wouldn't owe anything, and then upon leaving I am told I owe $150 for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING being done. This place is obviously a FOR PROFIT business ahead of actually taking care of customers. Based on how horribly I was treated today I would not recommend anyone coming here. Things have changed here, and this is by far the most expensive Dentistry place around. Everywhere else is much cheaper. You can't just lie to people in order to fraudulently obtain money from them. They made me feel so devalued today. I truly wish I had words for how horrible it was. I have been sending friends and family here for years, but now will probably be calling all them, and suggest they switch too. They need to do better with how they treat people, and also don't lie to people. May 6th followup: After speaking to Sara/Sarah today she was acting like she wanted to help. Just like how Luke Baumgartner acted like he wanted to help. Yesterday he even wrote me an estimate. Sara/Sarah spoke to Cossich Family Dentistry today about them honoring their warranty on this inferior bridge they did. Cossich refuses to honor their own warranty. Now Sara/Sarah just called me around 5 pm to tell me they no longer feel comfortable doing the work that just Yesterday they would do. I literally feel like them and Cossich are working together to not help. I will stick with Grand Family Dentistry for cleanings going forward, but can't trust them ever again in the future. I literally feel like they are working together with Cossich to not help me as they called and spoke to Cossich. After they spoke to Cossich their tune changed, and they cam no longer do the work. Nobody can say that this all adds up and is normal. It is basically RETALIATION by 2 dentists office to hurt a patient.

Not even as simple as a last name spelled out. What kind of receptionist cant make appointments? Finally when I did get my appointment they canceled on me because I "didnt look well enough" ?? Not sure what that even means but im pretty sure my wisdoms does depend on how much sleep I get. So now I have shifted teeth and pain in my jaw from not having them removed and im looking for a new place. All around terrible never go here unless you want a ton of issues to come with your surgery!

He showed me how to use ChatGPT and I inserted information about our visit at Empower Orthodontics. Read all about it.... A Day at Empower Orthodontics In Covington town, on a bright, breezy day, Ashley and her crew came rolling our way. To Empower they came, full of giggles and grace, With Nyla all smiles and a shine on her face. Nyla rocked Brooklyn -- that shirt said it loud, New York in her heart, standing tall, feeling proud. Her braces appointment? Just part of the plan, She faced it head-on like a true little champ. Ashley, the mom, cool as can be, With glasses so chic, like fashion TV. Style with a wink, confidence on high -- Even the office paused to admire her vibe. And Ashton, her son, full of questions and fun, Exploring the space, never done till he's done. With charm in his laugh and a curious mind, He brought the sunshine, the bright and the kind. So here they all are, a family so bright, Bringing Covington love and New York delight. At Empower Orthodontics, they're shining their way -- Turning braces and visits into a highlight of the day! This is not just an orthodontic clinic, it's ilike visiting family.
