Tucson Smiles does allow parents in the back but they act like it is a huge inconvenience and stuck me in a very uncomfortable chair in a tight space behind an xray arm. They gave me a sheet that stated I wasn't to talk to anyone during the visit or be on my phone.. Both dentist were very nice to my kids. They truly seemed to care about their patients and did not want them to be afraid but on several occasions kids could be heard crying from the waiting room. I'd been with our previous dentist for a decade and only hear crying once and it was from a kid that was upset about getting in the chair. That isn't very reassuring when you tell me you prefer if my child goes back for their procedures alone. I had been told before we left our previous dentist that my child had a dark spot on a baby tooth but didn't recommend fixing because it wasn't yet a cavity and was due to fall out in the next year. Tucson smiles recommended filling the area anyway just in case. When I explained I'd rather just wait for areas that were not yet through the top layer for teeth that were already wiggly she got annoyed and wouldn't make eye contact. They do have TV's in the room but they keep the volume on mute which means the kids still have the drill sound. Seems like that would be an advantage to having the sound on. Maybe provide headphones?

I asked for a copy for the x-rays. i already payed close to 400 , which I payed for during the visit.

I would not recommend this dentist. if there policy is to rip me off 42$ over what email the file is sent to. what other fees and policy's would they not tell me/you about. BEWARE.....

They stated that the first appointment was for 1 hour so there should be plenty of time and it was the last appointment before the lunch break. It was $125 for the dentist to look at her tooth which I already knew was a small cavity as we were just switching from a previous dentist because I thought it would be better to use a "pediatric dentist". They seemed pissed that I did not want x rays (which she clearly didn't need). After looking at her tooth, I asked if they had time to do the SDF treatment (which takes 10-15 minutes max once her mouth is open). The dentist said "we don't have time in our schedule". I said "Okay, it's just a long drive for us." He rudely said "Well. Wish we were closer to your house but... we're not." Next day we went back for the SDF treatment, I asked for him to apply the fluoride varnish on a tooth that had the start of a cavity. He said, "I looked at her teeth yesterday, there is no cavity there." I said, "okay, do you mind taking a look?" He said "Do you think it changed in a day?" Her previous dentist had already mentioned there was the start of a cavity on that tooth and you can clearly see the dark spots from the plaque. He is just arrogant and rude. He did the SDF treatment, did not apply fluoride to the tooth I asked, and dropped the SDF on her face so now there is a 3 inch mark on her cheek that will take 2-3 weeks to come off. There also is no play area for toddlers while they wait, only screens everywhere... I do not know how this guy has such good reviews but he must have paid a lot of money for them because they can't be real.

She was running 12…read moreminutes late for a 7:30am appointment today due to construction being on our main street (Glenn St.) this morning. I called the office to let them know that she was going to be late, and the lady said they had a 10 minute grace period, but anything after that would need to be rescheduled. When she got there, my daughter said that the parking lot and the main lobby were empty, but the lady she spoke to said that she would need to reschedule her appointment and pay the $50 cancellation fee. Apparently, because I had used my one-time forgiveness cancellation fee after 15 plus years at this business with three kids, the lady was not willing to let my daughter get away without paying up. She even asked my daughter if I should be called to pay for it. I am not happy with any of this. The first cancellation fee was not because of my daughter, who just started taking herself to appointments, and shouldn't she be extended the "grace fee" as a person who is just taking herself to the dentist?

I have been using Catalina Foothills Family Dental for several years now and have been extremely…read morepleased with their services and recently I had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Dr. Eric Purdy a new associate of the practice. My appointment was to determine why I was experiencing a rough surface on my upper right tooth. Dr. Purdy immediately determined one of my crowns needed to be replaced. Two days later I had the complete process completed in one appointment. Dr. Purdy and his clinical assistant were very conscientious in performing the dental procedure and built a rock-solid crown that needed no adjustments in the time immediately after the appointment. Dr. Purdy was serious about his work while still interjecting some humor since I am a person who while placing high value on the quality of my dental care still enjoys making any experience enjoyable. I highly recommend Dr. Purdy to new patients and I still highly recommend Dr. Icely as a valued dental care provider. In addition, all other dental professionals in the office are top-notch in their work with patients. Catalina Foothills Family Dental uses advanced dental technology in their office allowing on-site construction of dental crowns (normally a patient might have to wait 10 days for sending the work request to a dental lab) but thanks to CFFD's innovative practice, I reaped the benefits.
