This place is the most miss managed place there is conform an appointment the day before and we get there and they cant see our son because he turned 18 13days before, we had to borrow the money for fuel to drive 75 miles to this place and take him out of school a whole day which put an autistic kid behind in school if I was you find a better dentist with office staff that can handle some simple record keeping like the date of birth of your child who knows what other info they cant seem to get right better have your insurance company audit there records on this place it wasnt rocket science to send a text email or a phone call but they did the phone call confirming the appointment so you draw you own conclusions dentist maybe great but his support staff they should look to Walmart to find jobs they can handle. I would have given no stars but the system is smarter than his office staff

My son has been a patient of Dr. Joe's for 6 years. He and I both had great experiences going to Children's Dentistry, until our last visit. The receptionists were very rude, lacking interpersonal skills. Making it a very uncomfortable experience. My son reported that Dr. Joe was great, but the hygienist was rude to him. My son has been proud of how he has been taking care of his teeth as he knows it helps to prevent cavities.
The same hygienist, discussed his visit with my son and myself, basically saying that his teeth are horrible. I tried to explain our routine at home, she rudely cut me off, with saying "Maybe you need to start brushing his teeth then" I wished she would have just pulled me aside, and discussed his visit. I will cancel his next cleaning and will be going to another pediatric dentistry.

Great experience. My nervous little ones were treated kindly and respectfully. Dr. Quattrocchi was friendly and took time to carefully check their teeth. The office and patient spaces or updated clean and comfortable.

I was so impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of all the staff. They each made my three year old comfortable and at ease for his first visit. Both the dental hygienist and Dr. Joe explained everything they were going to do, and each tool they were using to my son, and made sure any questions we had as parents were answered and understood.
