Worst experience EVER. We've never had such a bad altercation at a dentist office before until now. Dr. Palm kept Insulting my son about his asthma, dismissing and ignoring everything we were trying to explain, cutting us off while we were talking and talking over us. If my son didn't need his wisdom teeth taken out so badly we would of stormed out of there. So unhappy with our experience.

I have literally left about three or four messages, since January 9th, to schedule an appointment, and NO ONE has called me back YET, and it's February 8th. Horrible.

I have been a patient for over 10 years. Dr. VanderMolen gives compassionate care with medical excellence. She is respectful of all people. I can't image getting better care anywhere else.
