The absolute WORST experience. Took my son here for three visits. First one felt rushed but I understood he was scared and there was a lot going on. Second visit I noticed the staff is rude, front desk is ok but they seem agitated all the time, the dental hygienists and assistants are all awful, very cold and not very nice, and the dentist was impatient with my son and when I asked questions.

Even though it was my second visit it was my first time with this dentist and I was understanding that maybe I didn’t catch her on a good day. We had a follow up third visit for a treatment and I was appalled. I was told it would take 10 minutes for my son to relax with the gas mask, the dentist insisted on getting started at the 2 minute mark and was rude to me and horribly impatient with my child. I explained he needed to let it take effect, but she insisted he was the problem.

I grabbed my child and walked out. From start to finish the place is a nightmare and that dentist shouldn’t work with children. I rarely leave reviews but it was bad enough to warn others.

Absolutely amazing experience at this dental office! My son and daughter, who are both neurodivergent, were treated with such care and compassion. The staff went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and at ease. From the moment we walked in, we could tell that they truly understand the unique needs of children with sensory sensitivities and anxiety.

They took their time, explained everything in detail, and made sure both kids felt safe throughout the entire process. It’s rare to find a dental team so dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized care. Highly recommend this office for any family, especially those with children who need extra patience and understanding! 5 stars all the way!

My daughter had a dental extraction scheduled for June 16. However, on June 14, I received a text message informing me that her appointment had been canceled. Since the between June 16 and June 23. I have made several attempts to contact the office by phone and even left a voicemail, but received no response.

Today, I was finally able to speak with someone regarding the cancellation. I was surprised and disappointed to learn that the next available appointment is not until August 21 more than two months from the original date. We had already waited a significant amount of time for the initial appointment, and the delay was frustrating, especially given that the cancellation was not initiated by us. While I understand that unexpected issues may arise, I am concerned about the lack of communication and responsiveness from the office, as well as the delay in rescheduling an important procedure for my child.

This company is unprofessional and lacks compassion towards children. Especially those in need.
