Beware: Lip/Tongue tie diagnosis and procedure. Here's what happened with us. Right after our…read moredaughter's 1st birthday, we took her to West U Pediatric Dentistry for her first dentist appointment. We were expecting just an initial cleaning, counting teeth, etc etc but they caught us off guard when they told us she had a "very pronounced" lip and tongue tie and would need a procedure to correct both. They told us without this procedure, she would experience delays with speech and eating. They also said she would suffer breathing and orthodontic issues later in life. On top of this - they told us if we did not do this procedure within 2 months, she would have to be put under anesthesia for it since she would be too big to swaddle. We were given pricing and paperwork and told each procedure would be $1,500, more if we needed anesthesia. As you might imagine we were blindsided and our initial reaction was "we will do whatever it takes for our daughter", but felt uncomfortable with the entire visit so decided to discuss with our pediatrician first. Our wonderful pediatrician told us not to proceed with any procedures without a second opinion from a Texas Children's ENT. We scheduled with the ENT and saw her today. The doctor said her lip and tongue are both within the normal range and that we "shouldn't consider releasing either any time soon." She said there has been a national trend of overprescribing the procedure for lip and tongue release, and there is a national board that has now drafted protocols for when it actually needs to be done. She said our daughter doesn't meet those criteria by any stretch. She also asked how much the dentist was charging. When we told her $1,500, she said that was outrageous. She recommended we not respond to them and find another dentist, which we have already done. TLDR; get a second opinion and trust your instinct.

We brought our 18-month-old who was going to cry no matter what but they did all they could to make things pleasant for her. They give your kid balloons and little toys to take home. There's a television, if you want your child's favorite show on. Dr. Lam was super sweet to our toddler and to us (took the time to patiently answer all of our questions). I also really liked their waiting room -- it's fun and colorful without being too "childish" or cartoon-heavy. It's made to appeal to both adults and children which I really enjoyed. Parking is easy in their large free lot. Just a heads up, if you're bringing a stroller, park behind the building (that's where the ramp is). Also note that their office is pretty small so if you are bringing a stroller, I'd recommend a small one.

After another pediatric dentist performed an incomplete tongue-tie release on my infant daughter, Dr. Shisler carefully evaluated her and successfully corrected the issue. What impressed me most was that his entire focus was on helping my daughter gain the tongue mobility she needed to feed comfortably and effectively. He genuinely cared about improving her quality of life, not just performing a procedure. The experience from start to finish was exceptional. Ana and the entire staff were warm, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. As with most parents, we had plenty of questions, and every single one was answered with kindness and compassion. We never felt rushed and always felt supported. The improvement in my daughter's feeding and comfort has been remarkable, and I am beyond grateful for Dr. Shisler's expertise and dedication. He is the real deal--highly skilled, honest, caring, and truly committed to his patients' well-being. I recommend him wholeheartedly and have already started referring all of my friends and fellow parents to him. If you're looking for the absolute best pediatric dentist and surgeon in Houston, look no further. Dr. Shisler is simply outstanding.

Unethical, Outrageously Dishonest and Completely Unprofessional!!!…read moreThis dental office's conduct was absolutely unacceptable. They told me my little kid's cavities were "very serious" and pushed an outrageous treatment plan involving multiple crowns, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and anesthesia injections--all unnecessary and expensive. The dentist refused to speak to me directly and hid behind a "consultant" to pressure me into agreeing. I got a second opinion, and the truth was clear: the cavities were minor, and simple fillings were completed in under an hour with none of the excessive sedation or procedures this office claimed were required. This experience felt deceptive, unprofessional, and profit-driven. Parents: please get a second opinion before trusting this office with your child's care.

The experience otherwise was great. At checkout there was a co pay of $50 a child which we through was odd. But ok. In 40 years of insurance I have never heard of someone paying for a teeth cleaning. But ok. We left. Weeks later we received a bill for the remaining balance due for each child. It appears that this dentistry is not in network for any insurance company, and charges above and beyond what a normal cleaning would cost and be covered, resulting in the inevitability of the client paying for a cleaning. I expressed that I was told they would be covered. The lady on the phone said yes we could have mistaken that I am sorry, and I said ok well should I talk to someone or leave it alone as I am not paying for what I was told was covered. She said I guess don't pay. So that is where they have left it. I am hoping to hear from them so that I can end this review on a positive note.

After hearing so many horror stories regarding children who were sedated during their dental…read moreprocedures, I wasn't ready to have my four year old son go through that. My son had major tooth decay, which also affected his smile. I was worried that he'd have to undergo sedation, so my pediatrician recommended Dr. Hogan. Dr. Hogan is absolutely wonderful - after X-rays and examinations, he explained what was wrong and why he felt that sedation was necessary, although he does try to avoid that route. He went through every detail on what needed to be done and even offered different alternatives that would be more affordable. The days following my son's scheduled procedure, Dr. Hogan kept in contact with me and provided me reassurance. I was horrified at the thought of something going wrong during the sedation procedure, but Dr. Hogan patiently went through why he would never allow that to happen, let alone ever put my child in danger. On the day of the procedure, we were running late; however the office staff and Dr. Hogan were very kind and understanding. Although I was not allowed to stay with my son during his dental work, I had no problem - given that the entire staff is focused only on my son and needed to concentrate on making sure he has a healthy smile without any complications. The front office was very accommodating; they kept me updated on my son and also broke down all costs and fees to make sure I understood my charge thoroughly. The waiting room is clean and well kept with wonderful kid friendly decor. Once my son was finished, Dr. Hogan and the anesthesiologist sat down with me and answered any of my questions. Dr. Hogan also contacted me later on that evening to check up on my son. I am so incredibly grateful to have Dr. Hogan as my children's dentist. He genuinely cares for the well being of my child. If you're in need of a trustworthy dentist who cares about your child's dental health, I highly recommend Dr. Hogan.
