What patients say
Vibe: clinical
The practice has experienced a dramatic decline following the retirement of Dr. Altire and takeover by Dr. Naud. While past treatment outcomes (gum disease correction) were effective under the previous dentist, current reviews reflect frustration with high consultation fees not covered by insurance, poor bedside manner, outdated equipment (using camera instead of X-rays), and problematic appointment management. The consensus is strongly negative, with most reviewers advising others to seek care elsewhere.
