What patients say
Vibe: kid-friendly
Overall positive sentiment with strong praise for kid-friendly care, anxiety management, and dentist/assistant quality (3 five-star reviews). However, one significant negative review citing rude staff behavior during a child's cleaning and recommending an alternate location undermines consistency. The practice excels at making children comfortable and educated about procedures, but staff interactions require attention.
