Team
What patients say
Vibe: kid-friendly
This practice receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (14 of 16 five-star ratings) and is highly regarded as a pediatric dental office with exceptional skill in working with anxious, special-needs, and young children. Reviewers consistently praise the staff's patience, gentleness, clear communication, and ability to create a comfortable experience. However, two serious one-star reviews raise concerns about administrative practices: paperwork system failures and potentially deceptive SSN collection practices for debt collection purposes rather than stated insurance purposes.
