I've taken a considerable amount of time to leave this review - my son has been going to this dental office since his first dental visit at about 1 years old. He has had 2 general exams/cleanings, a cavity check and 2 appointments concerning the cavity as well as a procedure done (2 caps, treatment for the cavities. All that being said I would recommend this office based on their DENTAL PROFESSIONALISM AND KNOWLEDGE. As many reviews states, their customer service overall could use improvement. Dr T is the real reason I choose to continue to take my children here. I was first given a recommendation by the dentist my son has seen for all of his visits to paint his cavities with silver diamine - I was hesitant to do this given no X-rays had been taken nor was I given any other option... I chose to seek a second opinion from a different office. Upon them taking X-rays I was told silver diamine would have not worked or given long term results given the cavities were big/deep. Given the dental office I went to does not do pediatric procedures I chose to go back to Wild West Dentistry and see a different dentist - Dr Tawil, he had X-rays taken and reviewed X-rays from the other dental office and recommended my son be put under general anesthesia and have 2 caps placed on the teeth to prevent further decay. Dr Tawil had great empathetic communication skills regarding the entire recommendations, answered our concerns with pleasure and kindness. He is truly the reason we chose to get the procedure done at Wild West. Sadly, at this office it just depends what front desk or dental assistants are there that day. Some are very nice, and others seem irritated and are very abrasive when you ask questions, are taking your time with paperwork etc. Dr Davis performed the procedure, placing 2 caps on my son's front tooth. She was very communicative and clear when it came to the treatment, and what would be done as well as great with educating us on after care. And last but not least the Anesthesiologist team. AMAZING!! They were VERY empathetic, informative and kind. Dr Andall (I belive that's the spelling) was very kind and patient with my son. And the two assistants he had were very kind and informative as well. The front desk gal we got the day of the surgery was very kind, very informative and answered every concern and question with empathy. read more

Wild West Children's Dentistry - Lobby - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE I took my kids here during Covid they ask us to stay in the car kids came out crying They smacked their head and hands every time they moved. Front office very rude The whole staff including Doctors rude unprofessional I would give them -100 if I could My original review was removed idk why read more

giving them one star only because it will not let me post. they deserve no stars, worst place to go. do not take your small children here. front office young girls, not very polite. the dentist needs to be more patient with kids. explain to the parents what they are doing and talk to the child and try to calm the child down this dental office just wants to make the money. don't care about their patience will not be coming back. please do not bring your child here. when we arrived, there was a child in the back crying. we should've just walked out, but we didn't. we wanted to try it out, but not no more. will not be going back. read more

Always on time. No wait. Friendly staff. My son feels comfortable with the dental assistant and doctor.

I'm not sure why everyone has given this place a bad review. The office ladies and dental staff were all so nice and efficient.

Dr T was amazing and super sweet with my daughter! She was scared (4yr old) he explained everything and was very informative. The nurses were super sweet as well. read more

I did not believe the comments until I went there. Oh my God, the dentist and the assistance are straight, rude, snotty attitudes like this is a dentist. You should be smiling the doctor dentist, or whatever decided to reschedule me because I wanted to get a second opinion on my son's getting his teeth pulled I was OK with every other procedure she had to do, she didn't tell me that her assistant did on top of that saying I made her feel uncomfortable lady you're supposed to be a professional you can't handle simple questions. Clearly you just wanted to take my sons teeth out for what does a benefit your pockets?? Scamming as b****es read more

I called the office in advance and made sure that their would be no problems with me being in the room with my daughter (minus xrays of course) the office staff assured me there were no issues. I took 2 hrs off of work and came into the office. They have a form for new patients to sign saying you are aware they do not let parents back in the rooms with their kids. I didnt sign the form. They had a problem with this and I went over it again, that my child has had dental trauma and relayed that I am required to be in the room with her as I am the only one that can calm her anxiety, I also relayed (again) that I also cleared this PRIOR to setting up the apt with their staff that said this was not a problem. They said okay just sign the form that you are aware of the policy. I did exactly that and made a note that Im signing that Im aware of the policy but that Im not in agreement with it. The office manager said I couldnt do that even though her staff said literally told me 5 minutes prior that I could. She said she would go talk with the dentist and let me know. The dentist said that my daughter cannot be a patient of their facility. I let the office manager know I would be reporting this. You cannot manipulate parents into signing this form if they dont agree to the terms, even though on 3 occasions you stated it would not be an issue. I advised the office manager to train her staff more adequately and reminded her I went above and beyond to make sure this would not be an issue PRIOR to coming in. They just wasted 2 hours of my day because of the lack of consistency, knowledge and poor communication. This office and dentist have ethical issues and their license should be revoked. You cannot manipulate me into signing a form I dont agree with, tell me that its fine and then change your mind later on. Its possible the dentist is good at their job. It is 100% certain they have terrible management and front desk staff. read more

Not a great experience I wasn't previously advised that parents are not allowed back during exams until I arrived. Fine, understandable due to covid. The assistant who took my son back for X-rays was not friendly. My son was nervous and she came off cold. No "You'll be alright" not even a nice smile, just come with me for X-rays". I mean this is a Pediatric office right? You Specialize in children. Come on. The provider, Dr. Kerr ends up allowing me back to explain treatment. He does let me know that my son would need laughing gas for the procedure on his next appt. and pointed out that he does NOT sedate his patients like some of the other providers. Which again is fine with me, I go on to schedule his next appt 2 weeks out. The male receptionist in the front asked me specifically if I'd like to schedule with the same provider. I reply yes and go on about my day. Day of treatment I come in & start to fill out paperwork. Mind you my son has never had treatment done, so he was a bit nervous and was shedding some silent tears while we waited. In my opinion, an ordinary reaction of any young child who's parent are not allowed back during treatment. The same female assistant then comes up to me and starts talking about sedation & my options. I'm confused, but she continues to tell me that my son doesn't look like he will do well with laughing gas only, and it's better if we schedule him for another day. At this point my son hasn't even gone in the back, this is all being said to me in the lobby. So at no time was there even A slight attempt from any of the office staff to even give him a chance to see how he will do. I let her know that per Dr. Kerr's recommendation that he will do laughing gas only. She goes on to tell me that oh no, Dr. Kerr is not in the office today and that they must have changed my appt. (they didn't ) All the above was said in front of my son so with him being nervous & her stating what she did he's at this point he's even more anxious so I just agree to reschedule with the lady receptionist in the front. I leave and call the office back to assure my appointment is scheduled with Dr. Kerr. The male receptionist answers and actually tells me that Dr. Kerr is in the office today & he can fit me in at 3pm. I tell him that I'm confused because I was just in the office a few mins ago and was advised that he was NOT in and was rescheduled because my son needs sedation. How are you offering to see him at 3pm if I was just turned away? He goes on to try to tell me how different providers have different methods of practice and that the provider who was in at my appt time will not see patients without sedation and that Dr. Kerr was actually on his lunch at time I was in. Whaaat? At this point I'm pretty pissed off that 1. I was scheduled during the Drs lunch time (Who does that knowing the providers have particular ways on treating their patients) then try's to "educate me" on how things are done. UH, HELLO! you are the same person who scheduled the visit, it's laughable. And 2. I was lied to, putting blame on my son stating he's too anxious to even be sat in the treatment chair before making that determination. Facts were they screwed up the scheduling and tried to finesse the situation by making it seem as if it were my sons fault. That mad me soo mad because when we had left the appt. my son was sad telling me he was sorry he couldn't do it. the front and back office is so out of sync that the front didn't know the lie that was told by the back so when I called he blurted out the opposite of what I was just told. He was also rude about me being upset I was given a superficial sorry & was being defensive with me over the phone. I would have way rather they have been honest with me when I initially got there and ask if I'd be willing to come back later in the day due to a scheduling issue. If they lie to me about petty stuff like that I can't trust that they wouldn't lie to me about other things. I ended up cancelling and going else. read more

When I first went in the nurses were nice but once the doctor came in to do the check up the doctor was really rude to my son and was alittle rough to my son and mean I won't recommend taking your kids here read more

Want to start off by saying front desk marixsa , Dr. Jad Tawil and their anesthesiologist are professional and friendly. They're the reason I gave them a second chance to take my daughter back. But after the third visit it's going to be a no for my daughter and I ! Dr.Davis and and half of the staff are rude and not kid friendly. They talk back and make your experience their so uncomfortable! They take it personal when you ask questions and respond to you with a rude attitude. Super unprofessional environment. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. read more

My daughter had to get 4 teeth pulled out and 3 fillings which ment she had to go under anastesia , i saw reviews that they didnt allow you to go back there at all. They actually let me in with her to go over the procedudre and allowed me to go in with her when she went under ! I was really nervous at first but the anastesiologist was super nice and comforting telling me they were gonna take great care of my baby girl. after she went down they allowed me to kiss her good bye and i left so they can do the dental work . The front desk ladies were super nice and explained the paper work i had to fill out to me with great detail. In all Procedure went nice and smooth would def recommend to family and friends ! read more

no atienden muy bien dicen que te llaman un día antes y pierdes la cita y te dicen q ya te llamaron muy mal servicio falta de experiencia read more

Update: Took my son to another dentist and they told me he had no cavities and his teeth and gums are perfectly healthy. I still can't believe that this dentist office wanted to do three crowns on perfectly healthy teeth and NOT get x-rays. Glad I listened to my gut when I didn't feel comfortable about the procedure they told me about only a few minutes before they did it and got my son out of there. It really makes me sad with the way I was treated and upset that they would do an unnecessary procedure on a child. The other dentist was completely shocked by this experience and NO x-rays. ~ Bad experience overall. 0 star instead of a 1. Don't go to this place. Highly recommend you don't. They don't explain procedures very well and just want money out of your insurance. Tried to talk to them about my problems I was having and they pulled my child's records and told me better luck somewhere else. They will also do unnecessary procedures on your child and won't give you other options suitable for their age. PARENTS watch out! They also don't allow you back with their kid, RED FLAG WARNING! They can be very rude too! I cried in my car the other day afterwards. Won't be contacting them again or ever going back. Extremely disgusted by the behavior. read more

Rose was amazing she was kind she kept asking if everything was fine i recommend this place for any children

Beware of this place! Poor customer service, the lobby and the rooms they put kids in are discussing. Dirty with blood! They dont clean, they should be ashamed ... the staff are rude, over booked appt. They never call with a 24 advance reminder.. i can go on and on. Why is this place still open? read more

My autistic child had quite a lot of work to be done, so I was referred to Wild West Children's Dentistry. When I saw the 1-star rating, I almost felt I should cancel and go somewhere else. But, I gave it a chance since most bad reviews were written mainly by mothers whose problem was that they couldn't be present at their children's visit with the doctor. At the same time, I felt that this was no different from when my children went under anesthetic treatment, and I had to wait outside. So I thought, I am just going to be extra cautious with all the staff and specially the doctor that will see my kid today. When I showed up, I noticed a lot of patients, and I sat until I was called. I waited the usual time. The receptionist was kind and friendly. No problems there. The dental tech that took us in was just as nice. The x-ray tech was also very polite and she did ask if I could sit over on a chair a few feet away. I thought nothing of it. X-rays are taken in an open area visible to other dental staff. All good there too! When the dentist came in he did seem serious. To be safe, I immediately warned him that my child was autistic and he may not respond or listen to him easily. He sort of gestured with frowned eyebrows, but looked at me in the eye, and said, "that is no problem to me at all". I adjusted my son onto the seat, and he repeated again, "yeah, no problem at all, I am okay with that". So I sat back letting him start his examination. I attentively kept my eyes on what he was doing the entire time. He was good! As expected my son wanted to reach the tool to push it aside. So I got closer, and helped by holding his hands, and talking to him to keep him at ease and manageable. The dentist was patient about it too. He went on and talked to my son also very nicely. He encouraged my son to cooperate by giving lots of positive feedback about his behavior. You know, using phrases such as "good job buddy", "yeah, that's it, you got it". He kept that up every step of the way. My son did actually become still and the doctor was able to comfortably show and explain his findings to me. I was very on top of his recommendations as well. I made sure all he suggested made sense to me. Yep, all was great again! In the end, he explained how he wanted to approach treatment and explained just fine. I had no complains. He did straight out forward asked me if I was happy with my visit and service. I said, "yes, very much, thank you". So then just as serious as before he went on and out the room. I personally had a very pleasant visit! The tech I was left with was also very nice. I couldn't help to ask about the 1-star rating and why. She simply said, "I know, we have very poor reviews and is mainly that a lot of parents don't understand our protocols and they sometimes become upset. All of us in the staff are new here too, so the others before us may have written those reviews. I don't know". "I don't know either!" I said. I have no complains so far. I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone. They are nice and efficient. I found no disappointments at all, even when I was sort of expecting something because of the bad reviews written here. Like I said, all was awesome during our visit here. Even my son left extra happy when at the end of it all, he got a helium balloon, and dinosaur sticker for a reward. We both loved that cool detail! read more

My little girl does not like doctors or dentist and they told me I was not allowed back to sit with her, I tell my wife and she said she was allowed to go back a previous time with both our daughters read more

Would give them -100 stars if I could , don't make the mistake of coming here ever, unfriendly and you can't even go back there with your child, and instead of making you want to go back they make you feel uncomfortable and worthless! Worst dentist in arizona! read more

Very disappointed! If I could rate this 0 starts I would . I been taking my son and daughter here since they were 2 . My son is 14 and daughter is 11. My little sister went here on Few days ago and they treated her poorly . Fist they hit her in the head with the X-ray machine and they didn't seem to care much. In the middle of her cleaning the dental assistant ran out of the things they needed so they left her in the room with her mouth dripping while they went to go get what they needed. When she the dental assistant started squirting water in her mouth again she spilled all the water on her chest . When the dental assistant finished she threw a toothbrush and toothpaste on her chest and said , these are for you . When the dentist came in she rudely told her she needed to make regular visits and told her she could leave. When she was waiting in the lobby for her follow up appointment, she could here them gossiping about patients, the dentist and CO workers in the office .We will not be going back ! read more

Worst experience I've ever had. I have 2 young kids with appointments at the same time (for a reason). One of them is special needs. They didn't do it. They took them one at a time while other kids came and went. They wanted me to let them have my child without my supervision, or leave other child in waiting room unsupervised. As a single parent with a special needs child, this is unacceptable! read more

I had an appt for my kids which were CORFIRM by "manager" Jackie at the time of my arrival she said I did confirmed when she even told me to come earlier, she said tomdifferent versions and denied to take me because unnknow reasons, now I lost a day of work and appts because they just don't feel like to take a new patients to this office because they said they're the busiest office, denied to give me her supervisor contact read more

I Love the office ! super cute and comfortInc. while in the lobby , the staff is super quick with getting us back, positive attitude is a must when working with kids and these assistants and Doctors are wondeful ! they have amazing patience because my kids were crazy ! but they had no problem accessing all their needs ! will definitely be coming back for their needed treatment! wouldn't choose anyone else ! read more

Worst service and miscommunication between both dentists/staff I have ever encountered. Everyone there has such a horrible attitude including the dentists. If the reviews aren't enough to show what this place really is, then I don't know what is. My son was scheduled for a cavity removal, I show up for the appointment, and the dentists is clearly upset because my 3 YEAR OLD IS SCARED. Umm hello, you work at a KIDS dentistry!! To make matters worse, the first dentist that scheduled the cavity removal didn't put anything in the system so the dentist at the appointment had no idea what to do. I was then rescheduled for a full sedation since she couldn't deal with my son. DO NOT RECOMMEND GO ELSEWHERE!!!!! read more

This is the last place you want to get your kids dental work done, horrible customer service unfriendly staff unexperienced doctors . They don't care about you and your kids they would schedule over 10-15 people at the same time and only have one doctor. A small work would take you 3 hours to get done and there is no place to sit down, when you ask more than 2 questions from the front desk she gets irritated and upset, her body language is disturbing please please don't waste your time coming to this place. read more

Switched providers as soon as I found out they wouldn't allow a parent in the room while my 2 year old had a procedure done. The whole experience with these people had me pretty sketched out and I easily found another pediatric dentist that would allow me to be in the room at all times. read more

We was wait here like 1 hour and they just take Mexican people because they are Mexican too. After we wait here 1 hour they did not take we inside because they said it's to late . Wait for funny part we had appointment at 4:00 pm. But we were there 3:00 pm it's really funny I don't recommend there for American people. They are gum read more

Receptionist provided terrible service. The office misinformed me that my son was required to have two appointments in the same day for braces removal. Then they lied and said that they called his mother concerning the first appointment after I informed them that the initial appointment was never made and provided proof with the appointment card. The office was unwilling to accommodate for their mistake and forced my child to have his removal delayed for 2 weeks. I do not recommend them to anyone due to their lack of professionalism and customer service. read more

I was in the dentistry and it was so dirty the staff are rude and they do not treat pacients right also i saw a man with 2 kids and he made an appointment they made a mistake with his phone number and because they mad the mistake he had to wait for 30 minutes. read more

Recently relocated to Arizona. My girls needed a cleaning and with my hubby's State of Arizona job insurance this was the closest place to our house. Front desk were great. The black female dentist has a stank attitude. My girls were like mom please don't make us go back there, she is mean and rude. One of my kids had to get a tooth removed had laughing gas and I was told she didn't have to fast, I never heard that before. This is exactly why I don't do black business. And I'm black. read more

Horrible service! The ladies in the front desk were rude. It's a children's dentistry and they seemed annoyed by the children there. The lady doing X-rays on my son raised her voice at him and even asked me to go wait in the waiting room. My son is only 5 and she asked me to leave him alone with her. I stayed with him and it seemed to bother her. When we walked to the room the dentist walks in and doesn't even introduce himself or says hi to my son. Just goes straight to counting his teeth and then pushes my sons hand down when he tried move. Those are just a few of the horrible things I experienced. read more

Very clean always and nice staff. Everyone is friendly and listens to tour concerns about your children's teeth.

main issue: DENTAL ASSISTANT CHOKED MY 5 YR OLD SON!! DO NOT COME HERE! Not friendly whatsoever. If I could give this place NO stars I would. The receptionists were okay in terms of customer service, nothing outstanding. You could tell they hate their jobs though. Also, my son was seen fairly quickly, surprisingly. However, when the dental assistant took us back, I could not believe I witnessed her lose patience so quickly with my son. He was hardly given a chance before she harshly told him to open his mouth. The way she spoke to him wasn't the worst part though, because the UNPROFESSIONAL lady actually choked my son! I thought she simply opened his mouth too wide which made him gag a little. But she continued to raise her voice in an awful tone, "open! open!" Of course my son was not cooperating. My son yelled, "she choking me!" several times. She wasn't nice or gentle at all! But her back was towards me, as she was facing my son (who was on the chair to get the xrays). Her colleagues could all hear what was going on. NO ONE stepped in despite me seeing the look of awkwardness on their faces. I could tell they were trying their best to ignore the situation instead of helping diffuse. When she proceeded to try again, I asked her to be more gentle as I tried to keep my cool. She then switched instantly into a nicer version of herself, but by then, ALL trust was gone. It was too late and she's lucky I didn't have the energy to argue or disrespect anyone. Looking back, I should have made sure my son was fine but because I was also trying to finish their paperwork at the same time, I wasn't looking up at them the whole time she was trying to take xrays. When we went back to see the dentist, it wasn't anything outstanding either. The whole experience was negative. They literally traumatized my 5 year old son!! It took him a full week to tell me that the dental assistant had choked him in the neck! When he went to a regular check up last week, he thought the MD was going to choke him! This is beyond upsetting and they're lucky I don't take this further with a lawsuit or something. I am beyond disgusted with this experience. read more

I've been bringing my kids for years and the staff is amazing. I love that they offer Saturdays to accommodate their patients. Great place to come for all your dental needs. read more

I went to this location for my daughter. They told me they accepted my insurance but the ANESTHESIA doctor doesn't accept insurance and i would have to pay out of pocket to reserve the Anesthesia doctor a week prior to her appoint along with clearance from her doctor. I did not call in to make the payment a week before because i did not receive the medical clearance from her doctor. JOEL called today to confirm her appointment for tomorrow. I did let him know that i would like to get the clearance before i have her put to sleep and he told me i have that right but "this late in the game" he wouldn't be able to reschedule my daughter EVER at this clinic. I asked for a "manager" ADRIANA and i told her i was never told that if i needed to reschedule her that i wouldn't be able to with it being the day prior to her appointment, she told me i was told (granted she was not there when i was being told what i needed to do) and i reminder that it's not an argument and that i wasn't told that. She said WELP she doesn't know what to tell me but my daughter cannot be seen there then i let her know that i didn't feel that was correct and what policy was that on and she said it was their own policy. I let her know that i would he writing these reviews and she said that's good. I will never go to this or any clinic associate with this one again. This is not how you treat families or children. On top of that the facility is falling apart and unsanitary! read more

They take such great care of all their patients. I've been going here for years. The staff and everyone are so friendly

Will not go back. We have been going to this office for years and within the last couple of years its gone down hill. We arrived at 140 apt time was at 2 we went seen till 220. My kids were the ones who said they did not feel comfortable at this dentist office because the lady was mad at them. I asked for what? He said during the xray the tech told him to bite down but he didnt hear her so she raised her voice at him. My older child said the same tech was throwing the jacking and just a bad attitude. Will not go back there again. read more

This place doesn't even deserve a 1 star. Based on the behavior of the front office secretary, he is there to collect a check. We arrived 10mins before the appointment, checked in and he said we would be brought back in a couple of seconds. 25mins later we still had not been called back. The secretary never notified us of anything, my husband had to go up there to find out what was going on. The secretary told us oh yeah we are running 45mins behind, no apology nothing. Then when it was time to go back they stated that my child who is 6years old would need to go back by himself, ummm WHAT!! This is scary! I don't know these people, my son cannot protect himself if they did something wrong to him medically or even worse sexually assault him and I wouldn't even know. I asked to talk to a manager, they said we don't have someone for you to talk to. This was our first time at the dentist. I had never met any of the staff or any of the dentist before. I was never walked through the process of what was going to happen to my child. They had no empathy towards my concerns. I will never go back and advise others who care for the safety of their children you do not bring them here! I have never wrote a negative comment and if I did not report this I would not be being doing the right thing to advocate for patients and children. . read more

Great place for kids. My son enjoyed coming to the dentist. The staff was friendly and we didn't have to wait to get in. Best part is they have Saturday appointments read more
