    My children have been going to this clinic since my sons were 4 and my daughter was 2. The boys are…read morenow 19 and she is 16. This place has changed so much after the new owners, the front desk staff is constantly changing. I've continued to have frustrating experiences with this office, and unfortunately, it's become a pattern rather than a one-time issue. There are consistent delays, poor communication, and a lack of accountability from staff. I've had problems during my children's routine cleanings as well as with billing and insurance. Each time an issue comes up, it's made to feel like the fault is on my end rather than theirs, which is both frustrating and unprofessional. At our most recent visit, today, we arrived 10 minutes early for our appointment and still were not seen until over 40 minutes later. No one communicated the delay--we had to go up to the front desk ourselves to ask what was going on. Once again, we were given a vague excuse and a weak apology, but no real effort to improve the situation or keep us informed. It shouldn't be the patient's responsibility to repeatedly ask for updates or clarity. Communication and respect for patients' time are basic expectations, and this office continues to fall short. I'm disappointed and honestly tired of dealing with the same issues over and over again.

    i've had very minor issues with this dentist and the last one leading up to this very review was…read morevery disturbing. This all has to do with this a red headed, short worker who i believe is an assistant, is very rude and disrespectful not only towards the children but towards to her coworkers, makes the ugliest face towards and i didn't think much of it until my son complained about it after his last appointment and not once but three times witnessed her being very rude and unprofessional towards her coworkers from the ignoring, mumbling under her mask, making rude comments towards the coworkers, and laughing in a corner as if she wasn't asked politely to do something. If i was the that woman dealing with all her comments and negativity, i would've taken it up with upper management and HR, no patient or worker should have to deal with this monstrosity, this should be a team work environment to provide satisfaction to its clients, as for me and my son, we will not be returning to this dentist due to the hospitality that has been shown, i hope the best for this dentist but please sort out this issue with the worker, HR will be hearing from this.

    Had the WORST experience with Dr. Dimick. I've never been so disrespected by a so-called…read moreprofessional. I had called to establish dental care for my daughter in April (this month) and notified them on the phone call that I could see a developing cavity in my daughter's mouth. I specifically asked if they could treat cavities in office for her (knowing she's a toddler based on her birthdate) and they said they would need to do an evaluation and would do treatment a different day. They NEVER told ME DIRECTLY that they can't handle sedation treatments for toddlers. We proceeded to come in and evaluate the cavity only to be told they can't treat cavities in office for toddlers. And it wasnt in a polite "oh I'm sorry you were misinformed" or "I'm sorry there was a misunderstanding." No. Instead, Dr. Dimick rudely interrupted me, held her hand up, and told me she would read through transcripts that would show I was told. Lo and behold, the transcripts never show them telling me. Supposedly 5 months prior (December of 2025) when my husband was calling dentists to find a dentist for our kids, he was told. I was not told. And 5 months later when I'm calling to establish care and I'm specifically telling them there's a cavity, why would they not "reiterate" such vital information?! I would NEVER have wasted time and money there if they would've been transparent and upfront with me, and confided they that are unable to treat cavities in toddlers. What is the point of a pediatric dentist who can't treat?? And more so, a dentist who so rudely claims to have told me things they did not. Absolute insanity and a waste of time. A scam of a dentist as I've found to be common in this area...Take money from you and claim they "evaluated" but doesn't have the ability to treat. It's laughable if I weren't having to pay out of pocket for wasted appointment and X-rays.

Cannot recommend Star Smiles enough!

    After researching extensively for a pediatric dentist (I personally see Dr Nunnally Freeman and…read moreOwens in marble falls, they are world renowned and see patients from 61 countries and performed dental surgery on me and were absolutely fantastic but don't see kids) My daughter had an abscessed baby molar. My husband took her to a first appmt, she was put on antibiotics by her pediatrician, and he felt comfortable with the sedation practices (conscious oral sedation) as opposed to anesthesia recommended by Georgetown pediatric dentistry (don't go there either). We had a very difficult miscarriage that took 3 weeks to go into labor for in June. Our appmt to extract my daughters infected teeth was in June. The day before or day of (can't remember) our appmt we get an automated text saying our appmt has been canceled. Mind you, all other dentists are thoroughly booked out and I've done my research and haven't found another dentist within fifty min of us that seems halfway decent. So I call. They tell me it's their policy to cancel without a confirmation. They say they sent a text (in my grieving I scanned the automated text and didn't see anywhere in the long paragraph where it said to confirm (no giant C or anything). I said no I didn't see a text saying to confirm. then they said we called. I had no missed calls or voicemails on my phone. I said why didn't you text or call my husband as he's the one who made her the appmt and they said they did. Again, no texts or calls to my husbands phone. He always answers calls. And since he's the one who brought her to the appmt and signed all the paperwork logically they should have called him. They said my voicemail box was full. So why wouldn't they call him? So literally the weak my baby had died inside of me my other baby has an abscessed tooth and nowhere to get it removed safely at. So my husband and I scrounge and go to THREE diff first patient appmts at diff dentists before we find one who will do conscious sedation with a parent in the room ( Dr Jen Smiles in cedar park) and she fit us in to get the tooth out asap. If you don't know, am abscessed tooth with a can go septic and be life threatening. There was no empathy expressed to us about the loss of our baby, no attempts to rectify the situation or schedule us to get in asap, and absolutely no responsibility took for not calling my husband. Due to our other kids dental health we decided to forgive the practice and try again with our boys (our daughter was seen at Dr Jenny smiles) so I called to schedule. I humbled myself to do so out of my love for my kids and hope that their five star reviews would mean safe and easy fillings with the tvs and things they provide. The practice texted me today saying they won't see my boys for a new patient appmt due to us getting mad at them on the phone. And yes we were mad. I was bawling and hung up after they were unapologetic. I even spoke to a manager or whoever is in charge when they canceled my daughters appointment and they had zero empathy or concern for my daughters well-being! Do not trust these people with your kids lives. Dental health is health for the entire body. Whatever is done in the mouth affects the whole system. I am in absolute shock that a practice in America could deny service and the way they handle canceling appmts (not for a cleaning, not for a filling, but an ABSCESSED TOOTH) is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I am thankful they didn't let me schedule my boys because they showed their true colors not once but twice. Justice be served at this place.

He still screamed but the dentist and assistant were fast and efficient. Since it was his first appointment, they just brushed and examined his teeth and went over any concerns.

I called Dr. Brandt's office at 8AM this morning and they had him in the exam room by 9:45am. After they examined him, they promptly came up with a treatment plan, and managed to work him in by 11:15. We were able to get everything done on the same day, as a walk-in! The staff was extremely polite and very helpful, they answered all of my questions, and even called this afternoon to check on him and make sure he was doing alright. Aside from the wonderful staff, the atmosphere is amazing and 100% child friendly. They really helped to make what was sure to be a disastrous day not so bad.

I decided if we didn't need a crown, we will just get a filling. I brought her in for her appointment to do the crown and filling and they did back x-rays while she was under anesthesia because she wouldn't allow them to do them before. She had an additional 4 cavities between her teeth that the x-rays revealed. They were small cavities easily fixable with fillings but they highly recommended crowns because of the amount of cavities she had and she is prone to them. I went ahead and agreed to that against my better judgement and not having but 2 minutes to think about it. Now she has 5 capped teeth that are all silver and her gums are really red and bleeding in those areas. I regret agreeing to the crowns. I know this was my choice but everything I've read about this suggests doing crowns on teeth that are not fixable with a filling or are broken or decayed. Her teeth are not like that all. I'm so upset and disappointed in this children's dentist office that she has this much metal in her mouth and they put it in her when it wasn't necessary to do so. Parents, do your research before making any decision like this that your child will have to live with for a good part of their life!!! I wish I had!! To top it off, we left her iPad there on accident because I was so stressed and no one turned it in so someone must of stolen it. How sad!!
