Not good with children I highly don't recommend this place unless you want unnecessary comments thrown at you about your child.

Parents be warned this dentist is only out for the money and she tries to tell you there is way more work needed for your children then there actually is. Even if you just want a routine preventative cleaning and check up it will cost you over $300 for one child! Unfortunately our dentist passed away so we were looking for a new dentist and happened to come here. She tried telling me both of my children were tongue tied and both upper and lower lip tied.

And of course the cost to fix all the ties on both children was going to be over $1600. When we went for a second opinion elsewhere the dentist said neither one of my children were tongue or lip tied! Both of my children can reach their nose with their tongue so I already knew they weren't tongue tied by any means. Also she tried telling me my son had around 20 cavities and was going to cost me over $8,000 to fix after insurance.

When we got our second opinion he had 10 and it cost me $2300 after our insurance. Thankfully we found an honest dentist out there with reasonable pricing to help my son out. Please take my story into consideration before coming here it will save you time and a lot of money.

I called to make an appointment for a new patient and asked if they take my insurance, since it changed this year. They lady on the phone was really rude and she said that I would have to call my insurance to verify if their office takes my insurance, I asked her do you do that she said no because, they take a long time to answer.
