The office assistant and the supervisor wanted me to fill out my husband's information on their website before the appointment and I told them that I was having trouble filling out the information because I am a senior. Their response was that, I needed to fill out the forms before the appointment. They made me cancel the appointment. Very rude and not helpful staff. The reason I made the appointment was because they have good reviews but they fooled me because the reviews that I read were old( 11 months ago, the most recent one). I do not know what changed but I definitely do not recommend this office to any seniors not familiar with filling out forms online

I've been an avid protestor of going to the dentist. I mean, I rarely floss. First world anarchy,…read moreright? But sometimes, I cave in, and I go... but this office will have me coming back. I was tended to by Shaundra, the hygienist, who was very accommodating and great at her job. I mean, her job is to use sharp tools to get the plaque off your teeth, which can hurt mind you, but can be done correctly with minimal pain. She definitely took care of me, was constantly asking if I was good, and was sympathetic when inducing what little pain there was. In past dental experiences, most hygienists will try to get you out in one cleaning. That means, taking whatever steps necessary, as painful as they may be, to get all the plaque off your teeth and gums. Shaundra, however, knew that I probably wouldn't be able to handle all the pain in one go, but instead insisted that I go home, floss as much as possible, and come back for a second cleaning 2 weeks later. Let me preface by saying that she made sure my insurance would cover me before making such a decision. Honestly, this kind of problem-solving and decision making is key to any client's well-being. I'm very glad that she decided to split my cleaning into two different sessions. Thank you to RFD and their staff. I will be returning with referrals.

Wife & I have had problems in the past with some of the local dental offices. We did lots of…read moreresearch before making our decision to choose Academy Dental. We were very happy with each phase of our first day with this company. They set us up with their 1st available appointment that was over a month out, but put us on a call earlier list if there is a cancellation. This was great for us, because as retirees we could be available at a days notice. Both of us got calls to come in earlier than our scheduled appointments. Front desk staff were very efficient at processing Maggie & I as 1st time patients. The dental team makes the 1st appointment 2hrs long to do a very thorough exam. They want your input to get your level of involvement in the dental care process. The equipment they have is top of the industry standard. It gives the patient a good view of dental issues, allowing a more knowledgeable choice by patient & Dentist. We never felt pressured to additional care that wasn't truly required at the present time. We were given a break down priority list of items needed & told they would work with us on payment steps based on the priority list. Even given discounts on how payments can be made. I see them on Monday for 1st step in fixing some of my issues. We highly recommend this Dental Care Family

About a quarter of the way through today's checkup, I said to my hygienist, Stephanie, "This is…read morehonestly the best cleaning I've ever had," and I was being totally honest. "This is totally painless." Then, as I settled into my thoughts -- because Stephanie wasn't a talker -- I realized I should be employing this conversational approach to lots of situations in life. I mean, it pretty much guarantees better-than-average everything, right? "I know you're just getting started, but you're quite possibly the greatest house painter I've ever witnessed." "Wait, just a moment, before you move to my shoulders, I need you to know that this is the most epic massage I've ever experienced -- and I've had my share of deep tissue work, let me tell you." "Is it just me or are you an absolute stud with those hedge clippers?" Figured I'd pass along this little life Pro Tip, you're welcome. So yeah, when you set up your first appointment here, go with Stephanie, she's completely painless, start to finish. During the pandemic you can also anticipate arriving early and calling the office from your car. Stephanie will come outside when she's ready to take you in, and you'll be impressed by their Covid protocol, including the HEPA filtered air, double- and triple-masked staff, and sanitizing requests. "Judging by your expert cement mixing technique, I'm going to guess you started doing this at what, maybe age five?"

I've been a patient of Dr. Babilonia's since she took over the practice at Smiles That Work, which…read moreI think was about 2 years ago. Everyone in this office is kind, professional, and always puts you at ease with whatever you're having done. Their office hours are very accommodating, with early morning and evening appointments available if you need them. I've seen them several times over the last couple of years for everything from cleanings, to cavities, and more. Then, yesterday, August 7, 2020, I tripped over a small gate in our backyard, landing face first on our concrete walkway, damaging several front teeth in the process. I called their emergency number, and Dr. Babilonia answered right away. She asked me to text her a picture of my teeth, and upon seeing the picture, decided I needed to be seen by an endodontist, as the injury was more severe than she could care for in her office. Luckily, her husband, Dr. Hochberg, is an endodontist with a practice located near Montgomery and Pennsylvania. Agreeing that immediate treatment was crucial, she and her husband met us (I was in no shape to drive so my boyfriend took me) at his office within 45 minutes. Let me repeat that, just so it's perfectly clear. Dr. Babilonia and her husband came in on a Friday night, in the middle of a pandemic, to help me. Now you may think, well, that's their job, and sure, I wouldn't disagree with you, but they could easily have said, you know what, given the extent of the injury to your teeth and mouth, it's probably better if you go to the ER. That would not have been an unreasonable call to make. But they didn't. They gave up their Friday night to help me instead. Throughout the whole experience they were both calm, calming (I was a little freaked out), consultative, and clearly concerned about my physical, and emotional well-being. I'm going to leave a separate review on the page for Dr. Hochberg's business (Endodontic Associates of Albuquerque) as well, but I want to make sure I say how impressed I have always been with Dr. Babilonia, her staff, and her practice. Last night's emergency just solidified what I already suspected. These are good people, doing a good job, and taking care of their community.
