Allthough the office is friendly and nice, I was appauled at how insensitive to my child Dr. Simoneaux was. He said no more than two words to him and then told me to set him down in the chair head in his lap. I suggested he would be less upset if my one and a half year old had the comfort of me being with him in the chair which we had done with great success at another dentist. He insisted with a pompous tone that he knew best after 25 years of experience. I agreed and tried to place my child in the chair he began to get upset and cry and they started to restrain him. I quickly picked him up and told them I didn't feel comfortable with that arrangement and again offered to let him lay on me. he told me children were meant to cry and you can see thier teeth better that way. when I told him I wasn't compfortable with him restraining my child he took off his gloves threw them out and told me he couldn't help me. I felt totally offended that he felt that was the only way to handle a patient. I have never heard of an adult being treated with such disregard for personal feelings. I would never recomend this dentist if you are a parent concerned about long term phycological implications and emotional well being of your child.
