My 17‑year‑old child (who has an anxiety disorder and severe dental phobia) was scheduled here for…read moresedation dentistry after being told this office specializes in treating patients with high anxiety. We were very hopeful. Unfortunately, the experience was pretty much a nightmare. I was not allowed to stay with my child during the procedure, even after they repeatedly asked for me. When nitrous was administered, they began crying hard and having trouble breathing. They clearly stated they did not want to continue and wanted to leave. Despite that, multiple staff physically restrained them and told them things like: * "This is going to happen either way." * "You're too old to be acting this way." When I was finally brought back, I found my child still being held down, crying. A staff member whispered to them that if they didn't stop crying, I would be asked to leave again. My child fled the room in tears once they were able to get up. The dentist then told me that they would no longer treat my child, and said that no one in the area would. This was not an emergency procedure. Consent was withdrawn and ignored. I have never seen a healthcare setting handle anxiety this way, especially one claiming to specialize in it. This experience left my child feeling traumatized and afraid to seek dental care again. I hope sharing this helps other parents make informed decisions.

Doctor Goodman has been my dentist for over 15 years. I can not think of going to someone else,…read moreunless it's his partner, Doctor West as a fill in. This is a great practice. A few months ago, I cracked a tooth while dining at a restaurant late on a Friday. I called the doc's emergency number because I was flying out of town on Sunday. He told me to come in Saturday morning (they are closed on Saturday) and he would check me out. He did and made a temporary fix to my tooth which took the pain away. I went out of town, had no problems and he immediately got me back in to finish the job when I got back in town. BTW: When I went in for my Saturday visit and I asked if I needed to pay him, he said, "Let's get you fixed and we can worry about that later. I think your insurance will cover it. Don't worry." Wow...now that's patient care! It all ended well and I will never forget his concern for me. So, if you need a dentist and want to be in good hands, check out Doctor Dave Goodman. The practice is Goodman & West. They are in the Medical Building A next to St. Anthony's Hospital.

The check-in process is simple and the waiting area has it's own latte machine and WiFi, though I've never waited more than a couple minutes for an appointment. Each patient's chair is outfitted with it's own TV equipped with an Xbox and Netflix making appointments a breeze. Doctors Shanker, Schlueter, and all of their cheery assistants were very professional and made sure I understood what was going on with my treatment using their state-of-the-art equipment. They were spot-on with their estimation of how long I'd have braces, and now that my braces are off, I'm smiling like I work there! Need braces? GO HERE

I highly recommend them to anyone nervous like I was about entering such a long time commitment. It was well worth it.

But I brought my daughter in for a routine monthly adjustment, when my 12 year old child was called back while I ran out to check on my 11 year old n the car and grab my phone. When I came in and seen she was gone from the lobby I went ahead back to find a nurse with my daughter pulled into a small private room. When I seen her I entered the room, where a secretary I'm assuming. I honestly don't know what she was. But she informed me my daughter had head lice and wouldn't be seen in their office until she had been treated. And asked if I would like to see even after a full explanation how my little girl had dandruff and that I had just purchased a 30 dollar bottle of shampoo for it and had only done 1 treatment so far. And also that she did have a friend spend the night a few weeks prior that we did find out had head lice. But that I had already treated my children and whole entire house. And had also treated every single thing in my whole entire house that I didn't just throw away, and spent almost 250.00 doing so. And if my daughter and I weren't humiliated enough, and my child to tears. This woman still had the nerve to continue to tell me how to treat and comb nits for days and even weeks, as if I was some uneducated, neglectful, dirty mother that hadn't already explained in length, even tho I really wanted to just honestly punch her in the face. So after quietly getting up and leaving with my traumatized child in tears, that has been in therepy for severe anxiety, and sensory issues among other things. And immediately call the office while my child was in the car to discuss it with a supervisor only to find out after going through the full explanation that I was speaking to the same woman so at that point I asked for them to get my child's medical records together as well as a refund for the money that we paid that office up front and she later informed me that there was no money owed to me even though my child still has her braces on that have not been adjusted and over two and a half months that are now cutting into her lips I wish I could remember the girl's name but I am definitely seeking legal advice and I'm fully prepared to sue them

I won't name the place I visited, but I can say that I wish I would've used McDermott instead. They've been incredible with my daughter, and my other daughter just had an appointment.

My daughter has had multiple incidents where she's had rubber bands break and they get her fixed same day, or day after. I really couldn't ask for a better experience that McDermott. My kids live Doctor McDermott and all the staff. It really is a great place to get orthodontics done. 100% recommend.

We went with Bankhead & Firth Orthodontics for my daughter's second set of braces, and…read moreunfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend them. If anyone is considering them and would like details about our experience, please feel free to message me directly. My daughter is only 12 years old, and today she had to have permanent veneers placed on her six front teeth because of the damage to them. As her mom, I am absolutely devastated. It was her first day of 7th grade and instead of celebrating a new school year, we spent 3 hours at the dentist office getting her teeth restored. What is especially difficult for me is that she has been seen monthly throughout her orthodontic treatment. At her routine dental appointment six months ago, her dentist said none of this damage was present. We were never given a recommendation to remove her braces by this orthodontist. Thankfully, we continued her regular dental cleanings. It was our dentist who discovered the extent of the damage and recommended that her braces be removed immediately. I hate to think about how much worse this could have become had we not gone in for that routine appointment. For her first set of braces, we went with Embrace Your World Orthodontics and had a much better and more professional experience. I'm sharing this because I wish someone had shared an experience like ours with me. As parents, we trust the professionals caring for our children to alert us when something is wrong and to help us protect their health. I only wish we had been given that opportunity sooner.

Anyhow, I digress... you will see great results if you also put the work in! The confidence I've gained is worth every penny I've spent.

Always willing to answer my gazillion questions without feeling like she's rushing off. Very personable. Great energy. Never blame or gets irritated when I constantly break my brackets for not following instructions (sorrrrry). Team: They are phenomenal! I met Vanessa today and she's the most gentle- est woman!!! Almost felt as though she wasn't touch my mouth. All the techs are great! Interior. Beautiful layout. Smaller office. It's an open style "bay area." Meaning no doors or partition in between you and the other client. Hold/serve to up to 3 clients. ***Perks***Little freezer in the lobby area during Summer months packed with treats to keep u cool! Wait time: I love that I never had to wait for them. Your appointment time is YOUR time. I think once I had to wait only because I was late. They run a tight ship lol. Be on time & you won't have any issues. Room for improvements: The financial lady, sometimes serves as the receptionist could smile & and be little bit more friendlier. Maybe because she's dealing with serious business $$ or that's just her resting face. Overall the team is great! There's another location in Manchester. I've never been there. Ps. 1. Imagine of the building is from today's visit. 2. Images of me were taken at prior visit. ( I'm not wearing sweater & boots in this heat)! Lol Recommendations: Go check them out!
