The DR IS AMAZING!!!!! The staff? There are no words! My children have been through three dentists and not one of them has come close to meeting my expectations let alone exceeding them; Doctor Edmonstone has done that and more. Wish he took adults!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

***Please Note all of the staff are wonderful except him. . Today, my last straw. . my son came in for a filling. He got set up with laughing gas. all good. But then edmondstone immediately starts moving him around getting set up but roughly. Then puts the numbing cream one, doesn't wait even 5 seconds then sticks him with the numbing needle. My son crying and wiggles because. . well it HURTS. My son is still crying but keeping mouth open and THIS MAN PROCEEDED TO THEN GRAB MY KIDS FACE IN BOTH SIDES , TURN MY SONS FACE TOWARDS HIM, LEAN IN AND GROWL, " YOU DONT NEED TO BE MAKING ALL THIS NOISE.

YOUR FINE YOUR FINE. . . . STOP! " He scared me, scared my other child with me. Obviously made everything worse for my son as they finished and my kid just hyperventilated. Also, at one point today I asked him to stop so I could explain to my son what's going on so he will calm down and he just looked at me and ignored me. He was only using the explorer tool right after the numbing needle when I asked. . He talks in a cranky monotone voice and that Google pic of him smiling . . I didn't even recognize him. That is not this dude, I promise.

. He insulted me for my child's cavitys. He kept making comments each and every appointment after about his diet. When his diet is great actually, and I previously already explained my 5 year old has sensory processing struggles and anxiety and it we struggled until he was about 2. 5/3 to really be able to brush thoroughly. But, Edmondstone just ignored the information I put in the paperwork AND communicated at multiple exams. . it's not even nice in there honestly . He never uses the glasses to block the light for this kids, his staff does but not him and he swats kids hands for reaching at their face (my son attempting to block the light 🥺) . Overall, he is rough physically, he rarely narrates what's happening to the child, or acts as if doesn't realizes his patients are children. So, if he's nice to your kid one time don't count on that forever. He had other reviews sharing how he was mean and rough with them too!

I’m sure they will hit me with the “We have no record of you in our database” my name has changed and I went to this office nearly 30 years ago as a child. He was terrible back then and it looks like he still is. Very nasty when I expressed any pain, he was cruel and impatient. And it looks like he still is unfortunately.

There are plenty of kind dentists in the area that you can bring your children to. Do not bring them here. As an adult I have to be sedated for dental work because I have such a fear of the dentist.

Support staff was kind and helpful, but Dr. Edmonstone is horrific. My 10 year old son has cavities to be filled and this is the third visit we’ve had with him. Every time, prior to this visit, my son has cooperated as well as any other child receiving dental work and he has still always been condescending and mean. And TODAY while he was drilling his tooth I could see my son shaking and crying in pain. Instead of stopping and checking with him to see if he was numb, he just kept going.

I had to yell and tell a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL to stop because he could obviously feel the pain. He was in my sons face, telling him “this isn’t a hard thing! Stop it!”. I have never seen such unprofessional behavior or lack of empathy from someone, ESPECIALLY in the pediatric field. He ended up just filling the tooth, unsure of whether or not he had removed all of the decay. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!
