I came for help to Hillsise Dental with a sore back upper molar, they put some stuff to ease the…read morepain, then I went back to seek more help as the pain got worse. The dentist said I had a cavity and filled the cavity. Ive been suffering since and today over 1 month later I sought another dentist referred by a close personal friend. Dr Theisen saw me on an emergency basis, gave me penicillin as my molar is extremely infected. I will return back to Dr Thesien this week to have my molar removed because its too close to my sinus to have a root canal. I am type 1 diabetic, with previous sinus surgery so the chance of having more health problems is not one i am taking. I will never go back to Hillside Dental again. Yves Provost

I had an extremely unpleasant and stressful experience with Dr Yen at Mayfair Dental Clinic…read more Dental visits cause me anxiety at the best of time, and due to his actions, my anxiety has significantly increased. In my opinion, he has no patience, empathy or understanding for patients with questions or concerns, or may be nervous, and should not be working with patients. He did not provide me with the information to make an informed decision for an urgent procedure. Following my panic attack at the dental office (for which I was left in the waiting room while having the panic attack around other patients, and told "You will be fine" when I clearly was not), I was referred to a oral surgeon. The oral surgeon advised the procedure was complicated and should not have been attempted at the dental office. The potential complications were clear to the oral surgeon, as he took the time to actually fully examine the x-rays and explain the procedure to me, including the potential issues. I am terrified to even think of what would have happened if the procedure had been attempted at the dental office. Not only were the actions of Dr Yen unacceptable, I was left feeling embarrassed and humiliated as the staff did not offer me any privacy while I was having the panic attack. I provided the dental office with an email describing my distressing experience and how it has affected me. The office has had several business days in which to acknowledge or respond; however, I have not received any acknowledgement. This reflects poorly on Dr. Yen and the entire dental office. Based on my opinion and personal experience, I will encourage everyone - current or potential patients - to look elsewhere for their dental care. The entire disastrous experience and lack of acknowledgement of my concerns has left me with an opinion of little confidence in Dr. Yen and Mayfair Dental Clinic, and served to significantly increase my dental anxiety. If you value your dental health and safety, my opinion is to avoid Dr. Yen in particular, and Mayfair Dental in general if this practice is their standard of care.

Had cleaning done by a hygienist "Leanne" working for Dr. Fund and Dr. Yen on December 10,2019…read more The hygienist was actually BRUTAL. I have NEVER EXPERIENCED as much PAIN as I did during this procedure - and that is with two anti-anxiety pills I took before the procedure and over 5 freezings or more throughout the procedure. I was so traumatized that it took me over a day to move from being shocked to the anger stage. Seven days later I am well over it, but I sure wish to warn others from going through what I did. She put a freezing gel before the needles, and before the gel deadened the area, she jabbed the freezing needle in. I thought I would wet my pants. Freezing worked on the nerves for the teeth, but left the gums totally unfrozen. I thought I would pass out when she measured the gum recession in all the teeth at the very end. I could feel my heartbeat in my gums at the end. At one point I bit the hand of the hygienist as a reflex reaction to pain, not that I ever meant to do such a thing. My lower jaw was shaking uncontrollably at one point. None of these signs made her aware that I was at the top of my pain limit. NEVER AGAIN!!! This commentary should not reflect on the dentists at this center, for I have been going here for years, and the service from Dr. Stankhoven has been absolutely amazing, even with phone follow-ups at home after some serious dental work.

I was referred by a friend to see Dr. Onno after my dentist retired. She was delightful and…read moreextremely welcoming. However, the dental hygienist who was also very friendly but I did not appreciate her telling me that I have gum disease. I have great gums. I am a faithful flosser and was told that I only should floss once a day VS my twice. I have great teeth and thus have changed Dental Offices because of her.

I have been going to Dogwood Family Dentistry since I moved here from Whiterock over 14 years ago…read more Dr. Wrinch and Dr.Onno are excellent, very friendly, and they have a caring attitude. The dental hygienists are great (I see Kelly and Carrie). The office is friendly, usually on time, and they are diligent in trying to keep your costs to a minimum if you do not have insurance. There is a new receptionist there and she is very nice as well. The only thing that they do not have, that the Dentist had that I went to in Whiterock, is a TV on the ceiling. I do miss that, but they do have postcards up there that you can look at. I would not hesitate to recommend this office and these dentists.
