    This was a difficult visit. I had a complete check of my gums and teeth. Lots of poking around.

Appointments are necessary. The front desk staff has always been welcoming, and on this day, we were warmly greeted by Salina who checked us in smoothly. We showed up 30 minutes early and were pleasantly surprised to be whisked back to get the checks going. The boys and I were also surprised to be greeted by a cute puppy named Pedrito. The puppy made the kiddos comfortable as they got their dental routine done. The over-the-chair TVs with many movie options are always a hit with the kids. Bel and Christina were awesome as they kept the boys comfortable while performing X-rays, cleaning, and checking their teeth. They provided me with valuable insights into what they were doing, what they saw, and how to improve the boy's cleaning routines. After the cleaning was done, Dr. Patty stopped by to do a more comprehensive check. Dr. Patty is easy-going, friendly, and works well with kids. My boys enjoy chatting with her. The visit is never over without the kids getting some customary goodie bags. There is an assortment of colored balloons, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other items that sure left the boys with a smile on their faces. We enjoyed the visit and looking forward to the next one. I'd recommend this practice for parents with young ones.

She had developed severe anxiety from previous experiences at other offices and Dr. Pike patiently spent multiple sessions slowly reintroducing her to the office at first, then the chair, then the tools - eventually desensitizing her to dental procedures like cleaning. I would say he is a combination of a therapist/dentist/wizard! At every session, he and his team always took the time to make sure she was not feeling overwhelmed or scared. He worked with her to desensitize and reintegrate without the use of medications, so the process took longer for us and there were more frequent sessions, but our daughter has decided she is ready to move on. This saddens me, but also makes me happy to know that she has gotten over her fear of anything dental related because of someone like Dr. Pike. There truly is no one else like him. If you have any dental anxiety or sensitivity, he is who you should go to. Dr. Pike is one in a trillion! And if you have a gamer kiddo, his dog's name is Zelda.

    This dental practice is...fine. My child was seen there a few times. They pack the kids in, so…read morethere can be 4 or 5 kids in chairs at a time, but only one dentist (but enough hygienists to keep things flowing fairly quickly). We had a small procedure done on my child, and I didn't like how it was handled. They didn't properly prepare my child for what would be done, which caused fear and tears during the procedure. Afterwards, they sent me a survey asking about my experience. I was honest and said things could have been handled better. As a result, the dentist called me herself and "invited" me to find a new dentist. I found that pretty shocking and rude.

    I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Wages and her team. Both our children have been seeing her for a…read morefew years. I wish we had found her years before. We tried many dentists and she is by far our favorite. Quality of care is excellent, she is kind to her patient's and treats them really well! In my experience you don't find that care as often as you would hope for or expect. I appreciate the experience she creates for the kids and their families. Our experience in her care has been cleanings, preventative care, she has given helpful feedback on good oral care habits, and she placed caps on our oldest childs front teeth which turned out amazing! And boosted his confidence no one knows they are not his real teeth. Our youngest had surgery with Dr Wages when she was around two. Surgery is hard to walk into and not be concerned. Dr. Wages took time to explain everything and answer any questions or concerns we had. That led me to trust her, most care providers get frustrated if you ask to many questions. I was still terrified of what the risks were however everything went excellent and just as Dr Wages said it would. Within a day our child was eating and drinking as if she never had surgery that still amazes us. The world is a better place because of her sincere care for children and the care and quality of care she provides them. Today we had an emergency I reached out to Dr Wages office. They fit us in for an emergency appointment right at closing, in my panic its a bit of a blur what I do remember is Dr Wages calling to find out what was the best care option and helping me access the situation based on what I saw. Her questions helped me look at all the risks and make a good decision. She and her team had already worked all day and they were kind enough to stay and help. I sat there and just thought what would we do without each of you? It's beyond comforting to know that your child is in good hands, with people who care and know what they are doing! Life is busy we all are tired and when people set aside going home and take care of another human you can't help feeling extremely grateful that they care enough to do so. I want to add after leaving Dr Wages we went to an urgent care and were turned away because everyone was scheduled to end their shift and we had no appointment. I wanted to share because it is so rare to find care like the care Dr Wages and her team provide. And I would like to add one final thought on my experience with the receptionist. In my experience its very hard to find dependable people who are good at what they do, medical receptionist have to be efficient and be able to work with and understand insurance policies and deal with those insurance companies. Its hard to find any human that can do all the things required for a job and balance relationships with clients. I feel like it is two separate worlds. And if we can grasp what another person does behind the scenes it isn't so personal. I like her, she is good at her job, she is blunt by nature which probably makes her really good at dealing with insurance companies. Blunt people are often misunderstood at least from my experience. I would urge you to decide on quality of care and how your child is treated over a how friendly the receptionist is. Friendly people aren't always good at their jobs because they are so busy being social. Just my honest thoughts after working with many different personality types I would take serious and to the point every time even if they ruffle feathers occasionally. Also with so much AI and in our recent emergency we couldn't get ahold of a human who could answer our questions about which urgent cares were open and if they were did we have to have an appointment. I just want to point out humans have such value and if we are kind and ask questions it can prevent alot of misunderstandings wait and try to understand their job or what they are going through. The concept of two truths can apply here, clients can be right and so can the receptionist. But that has never changed the quality of care and for us that is our highest priority, our kids are treated well and the work lasts. For me I had a dentist as a kid who did poor quality work and I have had that show up as an adult. Not every person is good at what they do, and that really matters. If there are any parents who's child absolutely hates having their teeth brushed like our kids hated brushing their teeth, we found the song "Brush your teeth" by Charlie Hope helped them look forward to listening while we brushed their teeth and it helped us brush them long enough to! Play and connection really do make a world of difference for both the child and the parent or caregivers. I felt so overwhelmed that I reached out to a JAI certified parent coach and it's been a tremendous help in so many ways including the once dreaded teeth brushing. Make things fun and playful any chance you can and those memories will last a lifetime for the child and the parent.

While the front office staff and most dental assistants have been pleasant over the years, there are significant issues that overshadow these positives. Dr. Fox, the primary dentist, unfortunately displays an aloof and sometimes condescending demeanor. This attitude is particularly concerning in a pediatric practice where a warm, reassuring presence is crucial. The practice does offer some child-friendly amenities like toys in the waiting area, Disney movies playing during procedures, and the no cavity club with tiny plastic toys, but these small comforts don't compensate for the larger issues. Their hours are inconvenient: Monday through Thursday: 8:00am - 4:00pm? PPS schools this fall 2024 will start as early as 7:15am, which will make it even more difficult for us working parents to get there. It was already difficult enough. Sprout's fees are excessively high, especially considering the quality of care. They seem to price themselves as if they were a cutting-edge, boutique dental office in an upscale area, which is far from the reality of Portland and their facilities. This disconnect between price and value is stark and disappointing. A major concern arose when they made an error with my younger child's filling. This mistake was recently discovered and corrected by another dentist, who not only charged less but also used more advanced technology. This incident seriously undermined my confidence in Sprouts' competence and honesty. I've also noticed a tendency to push for unnecessary treatments. For instance, they tried to sell us on dental sealants for both kids, despite them being advised that they had very recently received sealants through a school program. This kind of upselling feels unethical, especially in healthcare. My advice to other parents: 1. Scrutinize your bills carefully. 2. Don't feel pressured to immediately agree to suggested treatments. 3. For any significant procedures, always seek a second opinion. 4. Be aware that there are other local dentists offering superior care at more reasonable prices. We've since switched to a new dental practice that provides excellent care without the inflated costs or questionable practices. It's a relief to have found a dentist we can trust, both in terms of quality care and fair pricing. With better hours, too! In conclusion, while Sprouts may have some surface-level appeal, the combination of high costs, questionable competence, and pushy sales tactics make it a practice I can no longer recommend in good conscience. Our children's dental health is too important to compromise on quality or ethics.
