What patients say

Vibe: family-friendly

This practice has a stark divide in patient experience: pediatric patients and their families consistently praise the dentists' exceptional skill and gentleness with anxious children, with several 5-star reviews highlighting transformative care. However, the front desk staff receives overwhelmingly negative reviews for rudeness, impatience, and poor customer service, and multiple patients report serious concerns about billing transparency, unapproved procedures, and failure to respond to urgent/emergency situations. Adult patients and those with state insurance report particularly poor experiences.
