Team
What patients say
Vibe: family-friendly
Strong loyalty from multi-decade patients praising Dr. Long and Dr. Savage's clinical expertise and gentleness with children, with many recommending the practice to others. However, significant operational issues undermine satisfaction: slow administrative response, severe orthodontic scheduling delays (months), unresponsive emergency care, and poor communication about treatment timelines have prompted one-star reviews. The practice excels at pediatric dentistry but struggles with modern practice management and patient communication.
