This is a very efficient office & the staff are friendly. Our 4 yr old son has been here twice. The doctor diagnosed 12 cavities in less than 1 minute. He would not discuss this with us except to declare "No more junk food". The staff presented an agreement for us to sign: We can not be present while our son is sedated & possibly restrained or "pedi-wrapped", & all the work would be done at once. We also had to sign that the doctor "has discussed Behavior Management techniques, treatment, treatment alternatives if any...[that] all our questions & concerns have been answered... [& that] we understand to our satisfaction the techniques & treatment & have not been forced or influenced to accept their use." But the doctor would not explain anything. We could not let our son to be sedated & worked on by a doctor who would not talk with us. We went to another dentist who diagnosed 5 cavities so superficial that they can probably be worked on with no anesthesia, & he WANTS us to be there with our son. Our conclusion: we don't need a pediatric specialist who operates like an impersonal factory. We would rather have a family dentist who has children & relates like an honest human being. (P.S.: our son has never had junk food in his life!)
out of 5 stars
