This office is AMAZING. I have been coming here for years, even after I moved to New York 8 years…read moreago I gladly fly here for their services. Seeing the dentist is always a scary experience for me and this office always puts me at ease. I had to get a root canal and it was PAINLESS. I am so pleasantly surprised! I have been to other dentists that take advantage of patients, you will not find that here. Every staff member goes above and beyond to make this experience as easy as possible and I cannot recommend them enough. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I brought my 22 months old boy to this office today for his 10:00 AM appointment, and it was one of…read morethe most frustrating dental experiences I've had. We arrived on time, but still waited over 30 minutes because the patient before us was running late. When it was finally our turn, we found out that the dentist wasn't even in the office. This was our second visit--we came back because the dentist was wonderful during our first appointment. However, nobody bothered to let us know in advance that the dentist wouldn't be there. Instead, an assistant saw my son. All he did was wipe my son's teeth with gauze. My 2-year-old was scared and started resisting, which is completely normal for a toddler. The assistant simply said, "It's just gauze," as if that would magically make a frightened toddler cooperate. After wiping his teeth, he said, "That's it for today." Excuse me? We waited over 30 minutes just for someone to wipe my son's teeth and send us home? I told them that they should have informed us the dentist wasn't there. The assistant then asked the receptionist to come over. The receptionist's response was, "Kids don't cooperate every time." I said, "I understand that. But the doctor examined him just fine during our last visit. I don't think the assistant knows how to examine a toddler." Only then did they decide to "try again." The assistant took a few photos and that was the end of the visit. I even scheduled another appointment before leaving, but the more I thought about the experience, the more upset I became. I ended up switching my son to a pediatric dentist. When I first called this office, I specifically asked if they could see babies. I was told they were a general dental office but were able to treat young children. If your office isn't experienced in examining toddlers, that's completely fine--but please be honest so parents can find a provider who is. At the very least, have the courtesy to notify patients ahead of time if the dentist won't be there. To make matters worse, after I found a new pediatric dentist, I called to cancel my son's next appointment. The receptionist simply said, "OK," and hung up on me without another word. This office wasted our time, failed to communicate, and handled the entire situation unprofessionally. I would not recommend bringing young children here.
