I always had good experiences at the dentist growing up (maybe because I never had a cavity until 40) but I have some friends with trauma from their childhood dentist experiences. Here they making everything calm but playful for both regular appointments but also this recent experience with a filling. They Explained all of it so nothing is a surprise, but they use kid friendly terms. They teach you about that before hand so you can use them too! They used laughing gas and a movie to help the little ones stay still and calm. They also took time to talk directly to my son about his habits and help him be informed instead of just me. He took it really seriously and on his own stopped eating an Apple right before bed (after brushing teeth) and changed his routine based on what he planned with Dr. Jason and he's just 4.5! I saw a review about billing being poor but I have always had great experiences with them!

We loved Dr. Sperati for our autistic son however the office staff seem to not be on par with his…read moreservices. My child was sick and we had to cancel his cleaning in August. I was told he would be seen faster if he was placed on a cancellation list and did not need to schedule a new appt. I called 6 months later asking where we were on that list and was told there was no such thing as a cancellation list and I should have made an appt. I was then told the next available is in August, an entire year later. This Dr is amazing but obviously prioritizes more patients over current ones.

In November and December 2024, I paid for dental services for my daughter because we did not have…read moreMedicaid coverage at that time. Even though I told them that we are currently waiting for insurance and cannot afford to pay for multiple services, I clearly said that I only wanted to proceed with what was urgent for my daughter. Dr. Athena insisted on also doing a cleaning and a full dental x-ray examination, just so I would have to pay more out of pocket -- which clearly suited her. She didn't take into account that I only wanted the tooth extraction, the rest we would do once we have insurance. In the end, she convinced me to go ahead with procedures that weren't urgently necessary. But from that moment, I realized that, for them, money matters more than the patient's current situation. In February 2025, my daughter was approved for Medicaid, including retroactive coverage for the previous three months (November 2024 to January 2025). I explained this to the clinic and provided them with the official Medicaid approval letter confirming that my daugher was covered for those months, including November and December. The clinic scanned the letter and told me they submitted the necessary documentation to request payment from NC Medicaid for those visits. They received the payment from Medicaid by the end of March 2025. However, even though three months have passed, they still have not returned the amount I paid. I have followed up with them multiple times, and they continue to delay the refund, saying it will be reviewed by a manager or done at a later date. Despite these promises, no action has been taken. At this point, I am now going to file a complaint with the NC Medicaid Ombudsman and NC Department of Health and Human Services and after that I will go to the Office of the North Carolina Attorney General, which investigates cases where a clinic receives payment from both the patient and Medicaid, and then refuses to return the money to the person who is legally entitled to it.

Looks like a lot of Bad Reviews mentioned here and the Doctor plus the office is least concerned…read moreabout these reviews. After 6 months of bad experience finally decided to put this review out, not sure these matters or not for them. For my kid's last visit, they charged us $150 upfront and then insurance paid them $150, it's been 6 months now with 8 to 10 follow-ups and still money is not refunded to us. Will you provide service without getting paid? so why to hold my money for 6 months? Do I have the option to call Collection Agency and demand for this money? The best part is their Finance manager is never available to connect. One of their team members spoke very rudely as if I owe them $150 and not them. As if she was doing a big favor of answering my questions, constantly cutting my conversation and extremely frustrated that why I don't have to wait longer for their Finance Manager to wake up one day and feel today is the day to release the money. Super Rude. Very Unprofessional attitude & service. Money is there priority not customer. Unfortunately, I have to choose 1 star, ideally it will be zero star

They use all the right distraction techniques to ease the nervousness that comes with new experiences like x-rays. The office is very clean, and the TV on the ceiling, friendly colorful environment (gifts after appts) is a great touch. Everything runs efficiently, and I've never had to wait at any of our visits. They do so well with my child, taking the time to talk to her directly engaging and distracting her appropriately through the exam so she doesn't get overwhelmed, while also keeping me fully informed. They explain any concerns clearly, provide tips / OTCs I can use at home, and point out things to watch for on the horizon so we can catch issues early. I really appreciate that balance of care for both child and parent. This office has consistently been a positive experience for us, and I believe the people/care here are absolutely worth the trip.
