The nice reviews here are what helped my decision to choose Dr. Toppi. However, although his work was fine he had little patience for my 5 year old daughter who was scared and wiggly and didn't want him to work on her. They ended up sealing 8 of her teeth and because she was "too wiggly" they could only do two teeth at a time. This meant we had to go back 3 more times. After the first time they wanted to put her in a papoose and give her drugs to relax her and that just added to the bills and scared my daughter more. Even the receptionist seemed to lack the social skills that I would expect from a pediatric dentist office. My daughter is now afraid to go to a dentist because she thinks they will get mad at her again. Even though she made things difficult because she was afraid of being strapped down, in my opinion they should have had more patience with such a young child. We are definitely looking for a different dentist, hopefully one with a bit more empathy, kindness, and patience.
