What patients say
Vibe: family-friendly
Practice has strong foundational positives: staff warmth with children, sensory accommodations for special needs, and no wait times. However, sentiment has sharply declined following a business transition (Lume acquisition), with recent reviews citing discriminatory treatment, lack of informed consent for procedures, repeated rescheduling, and serious billing/insurance transparency issues. Older reviews reflect genuine appreciation; newer reviews suggest operational and ethical deterioration.
