My son was a reluctant patient of Dr. Meyers, as he is rather sensitive to strong tastes and has a gag reflex that always kicks in. Aside from squirming and gagging he was not unduly disruptive.
Dr. Meyers isn't the most patient doctor I've met, especially for someone specializing in pediatrics. She tended to skip over treatments, such as xrays and flossing, rather than work with the child/parent to make sure necessary aspects of the exam were completed.
After examining him recently, a deep cavity was discovered, at which point Dr. Meyer chose to DUMP HIM AS A PATIENT. She simply said she could not treat him and that he would probably require sedation and strapping down! No recommendations for another dentist were forthcoming and her manner was utterly unprofessional. She made no effort whatsoever to work with us on this unfortunate and pressing situation.
I have since found a great, empathic, child-friendly dentist whom I am most pleased with, Dr. Lyden. My son responses very well to her and she works to ease his discomfort. Further, she never appears to be in a hurry during visits and takes time to thoroughly explain her findings.
