Team
What patients say
Vibe: kid-friendly
This pediatric dental practice receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (18 of 20 five-star ratings) with particular praise for exceptional bedside manner with anxious children, staff kindness and patience, and efficient scheduling. However, two significant negative reviews raise concerns about inconsistent staff turnover affecting long-term patient relationships, potential quality issues with rushed cleanings, and at least one case of allegedly misdiagnosed dental work leading to complications. The stark contrast between glowing recent reviews and older critical ones suggests either significant recent practice improvements or variable quality control.
