    Not a good place to go for a regular cleaning or treatment. You should get a 2nd opinion if you get any treatment offer from here.

    While the dentist at this practice is highly skilled, our experience with the office staff has been…read moredeeply disappointing and stressful. We have repeatedly encountered unprofessional behavior, including being spoken to in a condescending manner, interrupted, and even yelled at over the phone--making it nearly impossible to voice concerns or ask questions. Additionally, there have been ongoing issues with insurance billing. Despite confirming coverage and accurate information with both of our insurance providers, the office has continued to submit claims incorrectly. When we've tried to bring this to their attention, instead of resolving the matter calmly, we've received harassing and aggressive phone calls--sometimes while caring for our 2.5-month-old baby at home. Most concerning is the unwillingness of the staff to allow communication with a manager or the dentist when we requested help. Threatening to send a patient to collections while refusing to acknowledge or correct their own billing errors is unacceptable. Because of the repeated mistreatment and lack of professionalism, we will not be returning to this office. Patients deserve to be treated with respect and to have billing concerns addressed, not ignored or escalated through hostile interactions.

They have strict policies against this, and they will not even pass you along to the office administrator .

This is a office which seems to be run like bring them in run Em out horrible Horrible service for my d office. My wife has been wait listed for over 4 years. To get into this place, they do not accept new patients even if you are an existing patient. And we refused to be even pass along the message to the dentist. Hopefully, this message gets to the dentist.

I've struggled with…read moresevere dental phobia for years, and I initially found him because he offers services to special needs kids. I thought, if he can be amazing with them, he'd likely be great for me too - and I was absolutely right. He and his team are personable, kind and compassionate. They truly understand how dental work can be an unpleasant experience, and try to make it better by giving you a sense of control during the entire process. The best way for me to sum up Dr Lance, is he doesn't just work on your teeth; he treats you as a human being because he understands dental work is an experience you're going through. His patience and understanding made all the difference. I left each appointment feeling not only that my dental health was in excellent hands but also that I was genuinely cared for as a patient. If you're like me and have dental anxiety, I highly recommend giving this dentist a try. You'll find a knowledge, supportive and compassionate team. I can't thank them enough for making my dental visits a positive and manageable experience. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking a great dentist!

At that time, a new profile was created for me, and I was asked to have an X-ray taken. I explained to the doctor that I had already had an X-ray done and asked if my previous dentist could send the existing X-ray to your office instead. I was later contacted by your office and told that you had received the X-ray. I was then asked if I would like to schedule an appointment, However, when I called today to schedule the appointment, I was told that you could not schedule me because I had not had the X-ray taken through your office and that I would now be considered a new patient because of this. I find this extremely frustrating and feel that this is very poor customer service. If you had already received and accepted my previous X-ray, I do not understand why I am now being required to have another X-ray simply because it was not performed through your office. It feels like I am being asked to repeat a service unnecessarily, resulting in an additional cost, rather than having my existing records used.

I think they have their dental techs doing the cleanings not hygienists. A dental cleaning by a great hygentists can get in front of any serious dental issue or even prevent them. I would not recommend this place.

    Before I begin- I gave this office and Dentist every opportunity to connect and resolve the…read moreconcerns via telephone and/or meeting. The requests fell on deaf ears so here we go... I have a 12yr background in dentistry (patient's daughter), so I know the proper standards of care. My mother was a patient here of record for about 3+ years after she retired and was left with small options for affordable dental insurance. Dentists should not dictate the care patients are receiving judging by their dental insurance whether PPO, HMO, Medicare. They should be treated fairly. This office DOES NOT offer proper standard of care- so please be very cautious coming here- especially older patients or those with state aid/Medicare/Medicaid. My mother has always suffered from gingivitis and periodontal disease like most people in the USA. This office has been having the dentist see patients for dental cleanings because they refuse to employ a proper Dental Hygienist to help with these preventative procedures. (don't tell me there are no staff and that there is a shortage from COVID still, you can find a great Hygienist if you pay them fairly and treat them right- be ready to shell out $45-50 per hour, they are worth it) To make a short story long- A dentist does not go to dental school to provide cleanings and these sorts of preventative procedures- they went to school to learn how to 'drill and fill' and to produce, well at least this dentist here at Valley Dental Care did. Dentist make MAYBE a few $100 if that for these types of preventative visits so what this office does is they double/triple side book patients in for cleanings while the Dentist is seeing other patients for PRODUCTIVE visits- like fillings and crowns etc (that actually bring in $$) Never ONCE in my entire dental career have I ever heard of a patient, who has crowns, partials, AND an implant to not have their gums charted at least 1x per year OR have a 3-month perio-maintenance cleaning to last less than the standard 50-60mins. Not until I dropped my mom off for her 3-month dental cleaning appointment (which she was 3months delayed for due to knee replacement- So I knew this appointment would be at LEAST an HOUR) but she returned to my car just after 10 short mins. I asked her what they did, and she stated the Dentist came in and looked in her mouth and took the gritty paste (prophy paste) and used a dental hygiene cup attachment, cleaned her teeth and sent her on her way. I was APPAULLED. I called the office later that day to inquire of the procedure she had, and the front desk person was confused and put me on hold to speak with I am assuming an assistant to confirm the visit. I complained then and requested she offer my mother another perio-maint appointment since I know the following was not completed: my mother did NOT have her teeth scaled properly; she did not have her gums charted (where they call out #s 2,3,4,5 etc), no probing- this was completely negligent on the Dentist's part. By not completing the cleaning as required- you are putting my mother at risk of further progression of the disease. I mean, I get it- as a struggling Dentist--who wouldn't put their patients at further risk of root resorption and bone loss because HEY! more $$ in the dentist's pocket when he/she tells you that now it's time for a crown or maybe even an implant or worse- lets extract all teeth and pop in dentures! If this is how you expect to grow a practice or stay in business with an active dental license you are greatly underestimating your future and are on the edge of lawsuits. This office does not advocate for their patient's oral health, especially the elderly. The will also take you for everything you are worth- they will take x-rays regularly 1x per year or more and then blame insurance that you have a frequency limitation and that your insurance is a contract between you and them and NOT the office so the $200+ dollars in unnecessary x-rays/radiographs they took TOO EARLY are now patient balance because they would rather charge the patient than go the extra mile and know the frequency of coverage and wait a week or reschedule an appointment to when it would have been covered. This review is in no way a threat, it's a promise that you will have a report to the Licensing Board about your malpractice. Current and future patients BEWARE- RUN- SAVE YOUR $$ and the teeth you still have and go somewhere else before you become a victim of negligence, elder abuse, or worse!

I broke a tooth last weekend and called a number of dentists on Monday and Tuesday who were not able to see me this week. My daughter called Catonfield Dental and they had me come right in. Dr. Xu's assistant took an x-ray and he diagnosed the issue, prescribing medication until I can take the next steps. My daughter, a stay-at-home Mom, had to bring my 3 year old grandson to the office, and Dr. Xu and staff were kind and accommodating. I highly recommend this office!

    I initially liked and trusted my previous dentist at this office, but after they moved, I was…read morescheduled with Dr. Ke (David) Xu. Unfortunately, my experience with him was negative enough that I no longer feel comfortable being treated at this practice. He tries to come across as direct and humorous, but I found the approach unprofessional and uncomfortable. He also seemed more interested in making conversation about my workplace and stocks rather than focusing on the appointment. My main concern, however, was his treatment plan. He recommended a crown for one of my front teeth--an issue another dentist later resolved by simply shaving the tooth slightly, which took only a few minutes and required zero crowns. Dr. Xu also recommended a total of six crowns, which immediately felt like a red flag, especially when he described front-tooth crowns as "jarring" and asked that I pay the full cost of all six upfront in case insurance didn't cover it. My new dentist emphasized preserving natural tooth structure, and that approach fully resolved my problem. Based on my experience, Dr. Xu's recommendations did not align with that philosophy. While I can't speak for the entire office, this encounter left me with concerns about overtreatment. Experiences like this contribute to distrust in dental care--especially in communities already hesitant to seek treatment.
