Wonderful for frightened kids & first dental experiences. Office has fun things for children as well as coffee & such for parents; we've never had to wait more than 10 minutes. My son loves going. She is VERY gentle & patient with him, while doing what needs to be done. Billing assistance was poor; they refused to file our insurance and insisted we do it. We will, but our HR department is adamant that they should have filed for us. Treatment plan for a genetic dental problem is incredibly aggressive for a 2.5 year old, so we will be seeking a 2nd opinion. I felt very rushed into making big & expensive (8K worth, including sedation) decisions about my son's medical care "on the spot". Another family we recommended to her got a 2nd opinion that was far less invasive and thousands less, so we were not surprised by this. Hygienists have consistently given incorrect information on dental implications of breastfeeding & are dismissive of any worries about negative effects of fluoride treatment. Explanations were overly simplistic (injections are not vaccinations!). I would recommend her highly for routine care and cleanings, but I would also recommend that you take recommendations for serious treatment for a 2nd opinion.

I know this doctor: 1 year, six months
