What patients say
Vibe: kid-friendly
The practice receives overwhelmingly positive feedback (11 of 12 five-star reviews) for exceptional skill with children and anxious patients, particularly Dr. Speller's patience and communication style. However, one significant negative review citing equipment failure, poor technique, and patient injury during cleaning raises serious concerns about procedural quality and safety standards that warrant consideration.
