out of Read Reviews for Dr. Gary Olen
Dr Olen takes care of my daughter and my son. Both are special needs kids with oral sensitivities. My 14 year old daughter had been getting seen at Children's Hospital Pediatric Dental Clinic for special needs kids, which has good services but is very very hard to schedule, always full, and billing is confusing. Dr Olen's was easy to schedule (a human actually picks up the phone within 5 rings). They did great for both my kids (who at this point I would say have moderate sensitivies and I would not consider them to be exceptionally difficult patients). My Asperger Syndrome son (11) was very freaked about getting his first filling. I paid $60 for nitrous oxide (not covered by my insurance) and it was totally worth it. They skillfully applied the nitrous, then discretely gave him the pain killer shot, and he wasn't even aware that he had gotten a shot. He was all smiles afterward, along with his goody bag of toys, and was actually eager to come for his second set of procedures (he had a mouthful of cavities). In September 2008 the office was being redone. The waiting room is pleasant, the staff is very friendly and all seem to genuinely like what they do. Cost rating = unk (negotiated by insurance).

I took my daughter to this dental office a while ago & refuse to go back. The dentist was not the problem, the front staff was. Not only did they NOT get my consent to use Nitrous Oxide on her but they tried to charge me for it too since my insurance doesn't cover it. I was pissed! Dental insurance doesn't cover much to begin with & to be told I needed to pay for something I NEVER authroized...yeah right. Needless to say, I did not pay for the treatment she received - not my fault if the staff can't do their job correctly the first time. I will find another pediatric dentist, thank you very much.

This dental office is excellent, but very expensive. I was very happy with almost everything, except the dentist seemed very rushed and busy. My children loved the office and came away with a very positive experience.
