Dr. Head was fantastic with my 10 year old son and did a great job pulling his teeth. He needed 9 extractions of his baby teeth because they had cavities and decay (from poor brushing habits) and weren't worth fixing and needed to come out to make room for his adult teeth. I was expecting this to be an absolute nightmare and it actually went SO WELL. The staff was GREAT, Dr. Head was reassuring and kind and has great bedside manor. I would recommend Eastside Pediatric Dentistry to anyone with kids and will definitely be back in the future! So amazed with how well everything went and can't say enough positive things! read more

Dr. Head is awesome with the kids but when it comes to the sedation appointments, the office is a whole other story. When we first started here, it was awesome. It was my kids first dentist and we had been going for years. But just the last year hasn't been all that well. Needless to say, the last visit, I was fed up and had enough. We will not be returning. read more

We really like Dr. Head but were not happy with our overall experience with this practice. I'm sure it works fine for many, but our toddler takes a while to warm up to new people and has previously been combative with anyone wanting to brush her teeth. She has improved, but not until after a few not-great experiences here. There are several dentists here and they rotate, so no guarantee you will see the same one each time. We went here every 6 months for 2 years and saw 3 different dentists. This didn't work well for a kid who didn't like new people at the time. We also explained at our first visit how combative she could be and how difficult it had been to properly brush her teeth, hence the reason we started coming there when she was 18 months old. On our last (and final) visit, we were informed our daughter would need a potential cavity filled. There was very little explanation as to what had caused it or what could be done in the future to prevent this. When I asked, I was simply told to brush her teeth better. I sat there feeling like total crap and not really sure what to say - safe to say I was kind of dumbfounded. I was told she would be sedated via one of two methods but I would struggle to call it a "consultation." Really just telling me the basics and getting me out of there - zero discussion or offer to help me, as a parent, feel good about next steps. I went up for scheduling and again, no explanation. Was handed a form with information on sedation. Scheduled 3 months out. When I questioned why the long wait, I was informed that was the waiting period as they had to hold slots for emergencies. I do trust Dr. Head would take good care of his patients, hence the two stars. We really liked him when we met with him, but only saw him as the dentist once. He did make a point to always come and speak, which was appreciated. He's also a great person to have in the community, so I do value that about him as an individual. Some of the staff was very sweet and fun. But, the rotating dentists and lack of communication really left me with a bad feeling about the entire experience, in addition to the lengthy wait to have the actual (fairly basic) procedure. We subsequently found another dentist in network who has already scheduled us, held the consultation appointment, and scheduled us for the procedure within a total of 30 days start to finish. They also took the time to thoroughly explain what would happen and also explained the likely causes of the issues, which are all "old" and should resolve. Much more of the experience I would expect and desire. We have found a new practice and will not be returning to Eastside. read more

Great office. We have been going here for 2.5 years now. All the staff are excellent and care so much about their patients. Dr. Glenn Head is who we have seen. Between him and another staff member checking on our son after a dental procedure we can see how much they care. I highly endorse and recommend this office. read more

I have experienced many things with my now adult children, braces, wisdom teeth, broken nose repair, shoulder surgery, as well as countless doctor's appointments. I can not remember any of those times being traumatizing as my experience with a dental procedure this past week with my nephew. Right now, my 9 year old nephew is living with us, and we have the responsibility of taking care of dental and medical needs. The dental has definitely been neglected over the past few years, so after our recent cleaning, we were sent to a place in Greenville for sedation. We had a consultation and were told that the work would have to be done in two different visits. I was pleased with that visit and was anxiously awaiting the first procedure. It was absolutely the worst experience that I have ever had. He basically manhandled my nephew. Never explaining what he was about to do or what he should expect to feel. While we waited for the numbing shots to take effect, he got so worked up and started spitting up. I finally got him calmed back down and ready to go when the dentist came back into work. Then, when my nephew cried out too loudly, he told him he would have to get quiet, then proceeded to "rip out" 4 of his teeth in less than 10 seconds. After that he informed me that he couldn't do anymore and I wouldn't be able to bring him back; that he would need to go somewhere that would do IV sedation and I would have to pay the difference. When I asked questions, his responses were 6 he was very unempathetic. He left the room, and I spoke with the two assistants in the room with tears rolling down my face. They were kind and tried to give suggestions. I held my nephew as he cried and tried to make him as comfortable as possible. Dr. Head is rude, has no compassion, and should not be working with children. Worst experience ever. read more

I was referred by our regular dentist to Eastside Pediatric Dentistry since my 3 years old had some cavities, the first time I called it was like a little over six months ago and the woman that answer was not nice at all, couldn't give me an appointment till September, I did schedule but cancel it since I didn't like her attitude, months later I got a call this time it was a pleasant woman don't know her name and she asked me if she could reschedule the appointment so I did Went for the consultation, place was crowded but we didn't wait much, Baby got examined and make the appointment for the fill ins, today my baby was sedated with a grape flavor liquid, waited an hour, got in the room, his pressure and heart rate was been monitor, they also gave him the laughing gas, they took x-rays then Dr. Head came in, gave him anesthesia and did the fill ins, baby started crying because he didn't like the grinning sound and the thing to keep his mouth open but other than that everything went smooth. Now we're home and baby is taking a long nap, I was told he would be sleepy all day, he might take a 4 hours nap and he is able to eat 3 hours after the procedure. I'm very happy with the staff and Dr. Head, they do know how to treat our little ones without getting annoy like other doctors because kids cry. I do recommend Dr. Head 110% and take it from a very overprotective mother, don't we all want the best for our kids? There you go, Dr. Head is your answer, I even scheduled for my 10 years old today for February to do her regular checkup and cleaning. read more

We had been going to Dr. Head for years with no problem then I noticed I felt like I was getting rushed through with no explanations. So we went to another dentist and initially they were great but it took them FOREVER to get anything done, even a cleaning, then they insulted my son by calling his teeth 'gross'. Needless to say I went back to Dr. Head. I personally appreciate how quick they get you in and out and he understands that you can't take all day with the little ones and as for explanations, just ask, they have no problem telling you details. You have to be the proactive parent. Dr. Head knows what he's doing and I call him the fastest drill in the west, he is just like a gun slinger! read more

I've known Dr. Head professionally and personally for years. My son has been seeing Dr. Head until he was too big for the chair, lol. What happened has nothing to do with how he preforms dentistry and the only thing i can say about the mug shot is, they didn't capture his good side. Too bad they don't have mug shot filters. We love you Dr. Head!! read more

My daughter had an accident while running with our dog and she knocked one tooth out completely and broke one of her front teeth. Dr. Head did not hesitate to work us in as an emergency and he quickly came up with a plan. He even went out of his way to call another Dentist and get us in the next day to make sure this was fixed as quickly as possible since this was quite traumatic to my 16 year-old. Not only is Dr. Head a wonderful dentist but he is a very compassionate human being. His staff could not be nicer or more understanding. We were treated very well and I cannot say enough about Eastside Pediatric Dentistry. Awesome professionals and awesome people! read more
