Will never recommended this pediatric dentist. Definitely…read morego to another or out of the area. I took both my kids to the office for their first few visits and they were fine. I always paid out of pocket. At some point my son needed cavities filled. I asked if I could make payments and they agreed. I made payments- had paid over half. I get a call shortly before my daughter's apt that they wouldn't see me since my son still had a balance. I explained I was making payments and had paid significant and I was prepared to pay for my daughter's whole apt with cash like always- it didn't have anything to do with my son's account. They refused to see my daughter unless I paid my whole balance before coming in. The front desk was so rude and unfriendly about it. I asked to speak to Dr Heckert and he compared it to buying groceries and just leaving without paying, blah blah - I was shocked. I had paid hundreds if not thousands of dollars to this office but that didn't matter and had no idea until the call shortly before my daughter's apt that this was the expectation. I ended up paying the bill in full and transferring to another local pediatric dentist that day (thankfully!) I explained to the new office that I got into and they shared they've heard several similar stories. I will never give another cent to this business. Ive had several people I know end their care here as well. I'm big on principle and being treated with respect both ways. I've never not paid a bill in full. But to not see my daughter when I had arrangements to be in for an apt after I had made payments was extremely rude and inconsiderate. Have also been made aware of many other questionable choices this business has made. One being about folks who are performing care and not having proper schooling and licensing. Do your homework before choosing the best spot for your child.

Will drop you as a patient if you disagree with anything doctor says or seek second opinion…read more Awful experience! Humboldt county desperately needs more pediatric services.

We have seen Dr Elloway twice and had no issues. However, our most recent appt she tried to force…read moremy three year old special needs child to open his mouth. He was getting increasingly upset and so I stopped her and told her that we need his cooperation otherwise it won't work out. She talked to me like I was an idiot, told me that she can't do anything if she can't get in his mouth. I'm well aware of that, thanks, but you have to gain his cooperation. During all of this his lip had a tiny blood spot and she said something about his lips being dry. I felt that she minimized his feelings, my feelings, her actions; and she was perfectly okay with forcing him a second time until he was so upset that I burst into tears and told her to stop and apologized to my son and told him we were all done. During all of this I reminded her of his special needs, to which she replied that she remembered. I should not have to explain my child's special needs AGAIN while he's in a dental chair crying, just to try and get the dentist to handle him with care. I felt rushed, I felt as though she wasn't flexible and didn't attempt to remedy the situation or make my son feel safe in her office. The fact that she felt comfortable forcing him, in and of itself, made me decide to take my child elsewhere in the future.

Dr. Elloway is a miracle worker! She was so amazing with my special needs 8 year old daughter. She…read moreand her staff instantly put my daughter at ease. Both Dr. Elloway and her staff were extremely gentle and professional with my child. Never have we been treated so well by dental staff. We have been to multiple dentists due to my daughter's Severe Autism and have had very poor experiences with other dentists. But this office was different. Not only were they knowledgeable about special needs, but they were also genuinely concerned about my daughter's well being and were more than willing to accommodate her extra needs. Above all, she received excellent and professional treatment when they did her dental procedures while under sedation. I am fully confident that my daughter is in excellent hands with Dr. Elloway. We have finally found a dentist who is not only experienced, gentle and knowledgeable with special needs children, but also provides the very best dental Care!

Dr. Epperson is wonderful. I have huge fears surrounding getting dentistry work done as many of us…read moredo. He always makes me feel comfortable. I can wear headphones and rock out to my own music while he's working and that's so helpful for me. I had a complicated extraction and the procedure was pain free. I didn't even feel the novocaine sticks from the needle. That was new for me! I was thrilled! He's got an extremely gentle hand and I will continue to see him for anything I need done! My results were fantastic, I highly recommend him. Update: just had another visit because I broke a tooth a couple weeks ago. Another pain free wonderful experience. He's cured me from my dentist anxiety! The man is a magician.

Dr. George Epperson has been my dentist for about seven years. I have always received excellent…read moredental care. I have only experienced seconds of pain with his injections, and have complimented him on his level of skil in doing them. He is always up on latest approaches and options; he has always been attentive, kind, and generous to me. A highly skilled endodontist in our area recommended him to me. His staff is caring and kind, and all take a personal interest in the patients. "Joan," who is the secretary and biller, has always gone out of her (busy) way in to get me in as soon as is possible. All of the billing has always been prompt and computed accurately; all charges have always been correct. I am loyal to them in part because of the way the superior patient care she has provided. I came on "Yelp" today to find his phone number in order to make an appointment. When I read the review by "Keeley", I was surprised; it sounded like it had to be about the office of some other dentist, and I felt moved to tell my experience.
