I really appreciate a dentist willing to get my child worked into her schedule in a hurry even…read morethough she wasn't an existing patient. We needed three baby teeth pulled and we were on a time crunch (long, boring story). Dr. Wolf's office was efficient and friendly from the first phone call. The receptionist, Rita, explained that I would need to get X-rays of the teeth either from them or from our orthodontist and she explained why. Then she gave me the email to have them sent and she called to confirm when she got them and to schedule the consultation with Dr. Giles who does the extractions. Imagine that? I didn't have to do the follow-up myself. Here are a few other things I liked: We don't have dental insurance and when I inquired about the cost of the procedures and the nitrous, I was given the information I needed. Again - a refreshing change. Our appointment time was 1 p.m. We were seen at 1 p.m. I was able to fill out the new patient forms online. Dr. Giles met with my daughter for the first time at a desk versus in the examination chair - much less intimidating. Dr. Giles herself. She's delightful. If you don't have a pediatric dentist - go there. If you don't have one you like, switch to this one.

Dr. Wolff and her staff are amazing. When I was her patient, it was always a good experience. The…read morewaiting room had toys and there were books to read in the chair if you had some time to kill. And you always got a toy when you were finished. The work they did was always good. Even getting numbing shots was pretty easy, they are good at distracting the kid's attention. Everyone working there was positive and nice. It was a sad day when I outgrew her office

Trust, compassion, and efficient high-quality care--that's Skyview…read more I have lived all over the country (and therefore have gone to many different dentists) and Skyview is hands-down the absolute best. Everyone from the front desk team to the dental assistants to Dr. Hahn herself are friendly, organized, and extremely knowledgeable. Going to the dentist can be scary (for both kids and adults!) and Dr. Hahn's bedside manner is exceptional. She is very clear about work being done in a way that erases any worries--I can say that she is one of a very small number of doctors I 100% trust. In addition to keeping my family's teeth in tip-top shape, examining x-rays from a different office to provide a second option, and repairing 2 broken teeth after an accident, I've observed Dr. Hahn work wonders for kiddos with special needs. She goes above and beyond to ensure comfort. During a visit this summer, I watched as a child who came in crying with nerves asked to give Dr. Hahn a hug in the way out. Who hugs their dentist?! No bigger five star review than that!

We have had no issues here. The dentist has been up front and honest (this was our 2nd opinion…read morecoming from accent dental and we have absolutely loved the dentist we have avoid costly surgeries and unnecessary dental work for two kids) and I am extremely confident in Dr Emily's recommendations and care plan. I also give her huge appreciation to her and the staff for the way they make my kids feel comfortable and confident in their dental work. I would also like to point out if you don't agree with Dr Emily's care plan/treatment she is more than happy to make sure if not go above and beyond to respect your wishes and decisions, never once have I been judge or ridiculed. My kids both bare happy, confident, and excited to visit her offices for regular dental appointments. Wait time is excellent super fast and very friendly staff.

TLDR: This practice left my son in pain, refusing to finish treatment after already numbing him…read more The dentist blamed me, not accepting any responsibility for her uninformed/ableist patient management techniques, hurting/restraining my child, or refusing to accept any info I desperately tried to give her. To summarize, I was stuck between complying with this practice's strict child isolation policies, or making my son wait for over a month with a toothache to be seen elsewhere. Before the appointment, the doctor refused to speak to me about my 7 year-old son's ASD and dental anxiety. At the appointment, I insisted that I at least be allowed in the lobby, and was told again that it was their way or the highway. I begged again to speak to the dentist. The receptionist said "She said this isn't a negotiation and you trying to make it one will only make it worse for your son." They escorted him into the building and locked the door behind them. I sat on the floor in the breezeway to wait. After a short time, my son began screaming loud enough for me to hear him clearly and continued for several seconds, including, "OW" and "THAT HURTS." So I banged on the door loudly since no one was in the front, wanting to know what was going on. The receptionist came into view, but would not approach the door or show me recognition, just got on the phone. So I knocked again. They apparently tried to call me, but had called my husband who couldn't answer. At this point, the dentist brought my son out, declaring "I'm not doing this with you banging on the door. He's numb, but I'm not going to do any more work on him." My son was upset, trying to spit out the numbing gel. He had a small round smudge of blood on his jaw near his ear. We had a terse exchange, in which Dr. Ahmed said parents being allowed in the exam room is "FOR CASES OF MENTAL RETARDATION! YOUR SON ISN'T MENTALLY RETARDED!" The dentist was dismissive of son's diagnosis, stating "He's fine. He can handle it," after not letting me share his past experiences or discuss any management methods. I could not keep up with everything she said because she was talking over me so quickly. The next day when my son was calm, I asked him in a neutral way to tell me what he remembered. I've summarized what he told me below. He asked what they were going to do, they told him he's too young for them to tell him. They ignored further q's from him. He said he wasn't ready, they started anyway. They held his hands down too hard, forced the numbing gel into his mouth on the wrong side, ignored his words of pain, physically kept him from getting up, and restrained his head to inject lidocaine. While I know a 7 year-old's recollection is to be taken with a grain of salt, I have to believe him because I wasn't allowed in to see what happened. Dr. Ahmed showed an appalling ignorance about ASD, namely that because my son is verbal and intelligent that he doesn't need accommodations. ASD is unique to each child, and if the dentist had taken the time to listen, she would learn that my son has an extreme fear of needles, that being restrained by a stranger is a HUGE trigger in his anxiety and his behavior, and that I have worked WITH dentists in the past to help complete treatments in the least traumatic way possible. She also does not use the Tell/Show/Do method widely accepted as best practice. I was told by the receptionist to describe the procedure in infantile language, like "sleepy juice" instead of injection, and "shine the teeth" instead of drill. And according to my son, they wouldn't even answer his questions. Anyone who knows about ASD will tell you these kids need to know what to expect and don't handle the unexpected well. Everything we experienced at West County Pediatric Dentistry was in stark contrast to what is on their site. None of the promises of respect, care, time and communication were upheld to us. I hope my account helps other parents make informed decisions about their children's care.

I have been taking my kids to this office for years, but over the last year the quality of care has…read moregone downhill. Appointments are continually pushed back for months at a time. The final straw was this past December. My daughter was seen and diagnosed with two cavities, but we were told the soonest they could treat them was June. At the time she wasn't in pain, so I trusted their guidance. Fast forward to now--she was just fitted for Invisalign, and the pressure caused severe pain in the teeth with the cavities. She was crying and in extreme discomfort. I contacted the office explaining the situation and was told they still could not see her any sooner. There was no emergency accommodation, no concern, and no attempt to help. We were simply told to find another dentist. Allowing a child to go six months with multiple cavities and refusing to help when they are in obvious pain is unacceptable. This office showed zero compassion or urgency, and it's clear they do not prioritize their pediatric patients' well-being. I will be pulling my kids from this practice. I would not recommend this office to any parent who expects timely care and concern for their child.

My neighbor recommended Dr. Appelbaum's practice, and it's only a mile from where we live so I called to see if they could take us. They set up an appointment within the next few weeks. We arrived that morning and within a few minutes of checking in, they took a Polaroid of the kids in front of the Christmas tree which they had made into a Christmas card for us by the end of the visit. Everyone was so nice and friendly and good with my kids, ages five and eight. My five-year-old is particularly shy, and the hygienist assigned to him warmed him up almost instantly. They had a poster of drink choices showing how much sugar is in each one (they posted an empty bottle, then baggie next to it with the amount of sugar in the drink actually in the baggie). The kids got to pick a prize at the end of their visit in addition to the usual toothbrush, toothpaste and floss in a bag. This place rocks and totally exceeded my expectations!
