Robertson was my childhood dentist - I started going to him when I was probably about 8. His motto…read moreis "no-pain" and also "this work will last". Everything Robertson has done for me - which includes fillings, crowns, etc., has lasted - I'm now 27. My family had a wonderful relationship with Dr. Robertson and he left such a comforting and kind and professional impression on me that I remember him kindly to this day... and for someone to say that "Man, I loved my childhood dentist!" is, well, weird, but it should be a testament to his superiority and gentle manner. I remember the fly fishing paintings on the walls of all his exam rooms. I've spent countless hours - I kid you not, more than most adults - in those chairs. When I was, oh, about 13 or 14, Dr. Orchard joined the crew and I began my visits with him, instead. He has the same kind bedside manner and the same calming effect. He's always been very professional. But it wasn't until yesterday, when setting up an appointment with another dentist here in Austin that I realized how amazing the work Dr. Orchard and Dr. Robertson had done for me is. I had always had issues with my teeth. I had a K9 which was a baby tooth, that permanent sucker just never came through (Well, until I was 24 and it popped out in the roof of my mouth. It's name is Sharky.) I also had Flouride build up and mottling on the fronts of my teeth from, well, just because God wanted to test my adolescent confidence, I suppose. In my mid to late teens I had a number of modeling opportunities. We couldn't afford full on veneers at the time, and my teeth were going to be an issue. So Dr. Robertson & Orchard over various appointments as needed skillfully did bonding on the fronts of my top four teeth, as well as a build up on the baby K-9 to make it the same size as my permanent one opposite. He made me well aware that these were not permanent fixes and would last me a few years, and that that baby tooth would eventually high-tail it right out of my mouth, because, that's what baby teeth do. I walked out with a smile I could be proud of after years of feeling too ashamed to smile showing my teeth. I've never realized how indebted I am to them for my confidence. Seriously. Yesterday, while describing some present ordeals and my future plans to now go through with veneers - The dentist on the phone stopped me and said "I just want to make sure you understand what quality work you had done. Bonding like this is meant to be an immediate fix to make your smile improved, but only lasts for usually 3-4 years, not like permanent veneers. You got 10 years out of this work and that's impressive!" She wanted to make sure I understood that I needed work done now not because I had bad work done then, but because what they did for me before outlived its lifespan impressively and I had been very fortunate. It's simply that my time had come. So - this is my review to say that Dr. Robertson and Dr. Orchard will give you quality, long lasting dental work, both maintenance and cosmetic, which will outlive even its life expectancy for anything that's not meant to be permanent. If I lived in Corpus still, I'd be their patient still.

Absolutely terrible experience. I came in for an urgent toothache after calling the day before,…read moreonly to be told at check-in that my appointment "didn't exist." When I calmly explained to the receptionist that I had spoken to Pearl to book an urgent visit, Dr. Rabata came up to the front and interrupted me mid-sentence just to announce that "ALL of our calls are recorded" clearly implying I was lying. Incredibly rude and unprofessional. It got worse. Instead of focusing on my severe tooth pain, Dr. Rabata decided to lecture me about other health issues that are completely outside the scope of a DENTIST. I did not come to a dental office for unsolicited commentary on my overall health, nor is he my primary care physician. He essentially refused to help me, brushed off my pain, and sent me away with a referral to get a root canal somewhere else. If you want a dentist who listens, shows basic respect, and sticks to dentistry.... avoid this office. I recommend Dr. Derek Chang, DDS.

First of all, dentist and dental assistants came in and told…read moreme several times that my teeth looked great and that they'd be right back to clean my teeth. The front desk person, no scrubs, no gloves, no mask, NO CREDENTIALS, sneaks in to say that my teeth are in such bad condition that I'd need to pay out of pocket over $100 that second (while i'm in the chair with the bib on) for some service that I hadn't heard the dentist mention at all. When she saw that I was confused, she got rude with me and seemed upset that I wasn't wanting that service done. All I need was my basic 6 month clean that is covered under my insurance. I saw a much better professional a few weeks later and they were as confused as I was when I told them what this place told me I needed. They laughed and said that my teeth were in no need of a service that extensive. This place is clearly a SCAM! Second of all, I told them I would not be returning and they WILL NOT stop harassing me. Going as far as sending me poorly written text messages at 7:00pm. Please save yourself time and money, and go somewhere nicer and honest.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! This orthodontist is unprofessional and…read moreuncaring. While a patient there, I was told I have abnormally large teeth which is why my teeth were not aligning. (I have to disagree). When I simply asked about one tooth in particular, he very awkwardly scooted near my ear and asked if I remember how messed up my teeth were? Again, I would have to disagree. Out of all the teeth, two of them were misaligned. He also told me on one dreaded visit that he is "not a mind reader" I have to tell him "what I'm wanting". I thought I paid several thousand dollars for an expert at straightening teeth and not someone that needs the patient to explain how they want their teeth positioned! Worst of all, the retainer did not fit; they did not care to help with the issue. I took the retainer to my general dentist who took all the time in the world to make sure it fit just right. These are not near all the issues I encountered and I'm so full of regret for choosing this orthodontist to give my hard earned money to. Bottom line was it was a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

I get here, pay and sit down to be worked on. He then tells me he might not be able to get the cleaning done today and I might need to come.bsck for that but they scheduled me for a 3 hour visit he then tells me that my back tooth will be hard to numb, will be hard to get to and might get infected at some point so I ask him is he's confident working on my tooth I mean after all that negativity coming from his mouth I wouldn't say I was set at ease or made to feel like he was capable of doing my tooth. He then proceeds to tell me no he doesn't think he can do it because I'm too nervous?? I think he was. I gladly took my money and will go somewhere else. I will not be risking my health and I advice anyone and everyone else to go anywhere else. The assistance here also all have a different answer to your questions, they all talk over one another and one of them was picking at her finger nails and after set up my tray with all my mouth care right after!
