The staff there is wonderful and the hygienist is terrific. The office is nice and clean and it's easy to get appts. However, the dentist, is awful. Honestly, we have been going for 2 years now and my son has had extensive work done. Dr. Matthews is not patient with him at all. He's only 4 year old. My son is very good but this last time, he gagged on a bite guard and Dr. Matthews snapped at him and told him he had to go home. He was very impatient with him and he was running behind that day so he had no time for him. My son had to be pre-medicated that morning and we spent over an hour there waiting and then, b/c of an involuntary reflex and Dr. Matthews impatience, we had to leave. We are finding a new dentist. He might be okay with older kids but he has NO patience with younger kids if they do not act perfectly. I was so sad b/c my son thought he did something wrong. His staff is truly great but he, himself, should not be seeing young kids.

I know this doctor: 2 years
