Why do I have to even award them one star?? It's not deserved!!…read more My daughter has had a total of 5 appointments scheduled but seen only twice. They're always canceling us for short staff, no dentist, etc. One appointment scheduled for 4pm and dentist didn't come in until close to 6pm. Didn't offer daughter topical anesthetic for numbing injections - just went to town and this was on her front teeth for damage caused by braces. My daughter is a tough girl - once having a filling done without any numbing (at her request) at age 11. I have never seen my daughter in so much pain, crying and riddled with anxiety. Drilling started immediately after withdrawing the needle from her gum. The dentist did give her a couple minutes break after most of the drilling and the sight of the teeth he was attempting to repair will forever haunt me! I held my daughter's hand, placed my head on her legs and cried myself. I apologized all the way home. I have told my daughter she doesn't have to stay with this "dentist" but with what had to be done to rebuild her tooth, she's afraid a new dentist will not know what this guy has done. Her tooth really should have been fixed with a root canal, but this place claims insurance denied the prior authorization, but when asked to see the denial, they "didn't have it scanned into their system yet". I'm still trying to convince my daughter to go somewhere else. My daughter now carries her own oragel to apply once she's in the chair. I received a text this week saying they had to cancel again and being my daughter recently turned 18, I had her call to reschedule and she has been pushed out in to December and the girl she was speaking to hung up on her. So sad that I am teaching my daughter how to make her own appointments, how phone etiquette should be, to have that face to face contact and this is how their staff shows "professionalism". When looking at offices for dental care, keep this thought in mind when you come across this review...first year dental students would give much better care than this place. And before anyone says that I should take my daughter elsewhere, look back in my post to where I wrote that my daughter was given this option but chose to decline. That is the downfall of teaching her to giving the benefit of the doubt. But definitely, DO NOT TAKE YOUNG CHILDREN HERE unless you want them to live with a terrifying fear of dentists.

I am extremely disappointed with the way this dental office treats families. They refused to see a…read moreminor child because of an outstanding balance that belonged to the child's mother, even though the parents are divorced. To make matters worse, the child's father went out of his way to pay the $90 balance to resolve the issue, yet the office still refused to provide care. Holding a child's dental care hostage over a former spouse's debt is unfair and unprofessional. A child should never be penalized because of disputes or financial issues between divorced parents, especially after the balance has already been paid. Compassion, professionalism, and putting patients first should be the standard in healthcare. Unfortunately, this office chose bureaucracy over a child's well-being. I hope they reconsider their policies so that children are not caught in the middle of adult financial matters. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this practice to other families.

This office is open fewer than 30 hours a week to see patients, and when you are there, the staff…read morerushes you. When you call, an AI system answers the phone, and if you need information beyond what it can provide, they return your call days later--at their convenience, not yours as the patient. My son was unable to make his appointment, and I called six weeks in advance to reschedule. The soonest available appointment was more than six months out. This practice seems to need fewer patients, more providers, and more working hours, as well as more flexibility in their scheduling for emergencies. If you are a family that never needs anything beyond a robot and never encounters real‑life issues, this office may work for you. If not, it probably will not. Overall, it was a bad experience.

We came to Dr Deitz and his staff when we came to have twin baby boys as fosters and started taking…read morethem to this office each year. They were wonderful with the boys and helped take the fear out of going to the dentist. We adopted the twins and bought a home a 20-mile drive west of Bloomington. When I called for the twins' next appointment, I was first told that they would no longer be seeing the boys since they were no longer in the foster system, basically meaning they are no longer required to see them is how I took this although their insurance is the same until 18. The next reason was that they were no longer seeing new patients, which we weren't and then I was then told that it was because we crossed the county line and they were no longer seeing patients with YouthCare, they were no longer going to accept our kids. I guess this just showed me that they were willing to accept my children when they were part of a mass pack being sent in by the state in a large check but when they were adopted out to a family, they were no longer valuable to them.

As I walked in, I was greeted by two front desk ladies who looked very happy to be there and one of them greeted me right away. I told them I had an appointment, and had to give them my photo ID, and insurance card along with filling out paperwork. Typical doctor/dentist stuff, yeah? I waited probably 10 mins or less to be taken back to get x-rays done by a dental assistant. After that, I waited maybe 5-10 mins just to see the actual dentist who did a quick exam/look which wasn't very long at all. He stated that I for sure needed a deep cleaning. The dentist went on to explain my insurance which is Molina had to get authorization to do the deep cleaning. I am giving it a 3 star review due to how quick he looked in my mouth, and do understand waiting 2-3 weeks to be seen for a deep cleaning. I did not see a hygienist once at all, which was a bit..weird and concerning? I don't really pay mind to name tags/badges, and none of the dental staff really properly introduced themselves to me at all. I think the dentist was the only person who did.
