Dr. Wayne may be a talented oral surgeon; however, I wouldn't know because I could not, in good conscience, stay for the procedure. I brought my child in for tooth extractions. I felt that Dr. Wayne was dismissive about her latex allergy, claiming that most children only have a sensitivity to adhesive in bandages. While he may be correct, this is a true allergy for my daughter. I felt disrespected when he stated that he didn't believe it to be a real latex allergy as he struggled to put on the latex-free gloves. While I am sure they are difficult to use, it is worth the extra effort to keep a patient safe, in my opinion. In addition, he refused to allow me to stay in the room during the extraction. I feel that an upstanding physician would make exceptions to their policy depending on the needs of the patient. After all, the patient hires the doctor to perform a service. My child is an extreme introvert who would never speak up for herself if she became uncomfortable. I would be a calming presence for her in an otherwise intimidating situation. I am not accusing Dr. Wayne of anything, but I can't help but be wary of trusting a physician who does not allow parents in the room, especially after her allergy was undervalued.
About Front Desk: The rest of the staff I came in contact with was courteous and kind.
