Team
What patients say
Vibe: clinical
Highly polarized reviews reveal a practice with clinical strengths (gentle hygienists, thorough cleanings, efficient dentist) undermined by severe administrative and communication failures. Front desk dysfunction, unreturned phone calls, appointment cancellations, and billing/insurance transparency issues create frustration despite positive clinical experiences. Multiple reviewers explicitly warn others away due to organizational chaos and poor patient communication.
