I absolutely love all the staff here, everyone is great with my children. Everyone always takes my questions/concerns as a top priority.

Extreme lack of communication, very unprofessional, and flat out rude. My sister works a full time job while also being a full time mother, so she has a lot on her plate. These people were very rude/condescending and made it seem like an inconvenience to reschedule her child's dentist appointment. Needless to say our family will not recommend nor be using this dentist ever again.

Very poor communication, professionalism, and attitude. Not to mention we were told first patient with autism was longer than expected, wouldn't this violate hippa. Between last few visits it has gotten way worse and we will be finding new dentist for our 4 kids. Seems to be trending opinions of this establishment

Rude. Rude. Rude. I have no idea who the receptionist is but she is the rudest person I've ever had to deal with not only that she has some seriously underdeveloped communication skills she needs to work on along with that attitude. If you have to act like that to people you should get a different job.
