This is the only dentist my children have ever been to. I've heard good things but it has always struck me as a factory. There is a room there which i've considered the "torture chamber" as in the past I've heard children screaming in there. Today, it was my son who was in that room. The dentist did not prepare my son, nor me, well for the procedure, he was NOT numbed well enough to have received the painful novacaine shots and as my son was screaming in pain they held him down and continued to "torture" him. It was a horrific and traumatic experience for my son. As he cried and tried to recover from the shots, the dentist threatened him with putting him in a strapped harness....then proceeded to tell him "You've talked enough. It's my turn to talk. I am the adult in the room." I was apalled at the disrespect this practice had for my son...and others I've seen in there before. Needless to say, we did NOT proceed. I left and took my files with me. Tonight my son is still in pain where he received the shots....I completely regret not leaving this practice sooner. Perhaps for a "cleaning" this practice may suffice, but stop there....I do not trust this practice at all.

I know this doctor: 7 years
