Terrible bedside manner, doesn't explain anything being done or talk at all really. Left in the…read moremiddle of my procedure after an hour of drilling when I said it was starting to hurt. His assistant said he doesn't give more than one numbing shot per visit! So if your one shot wears off before he's done drilling and you speak up he will just get up and walk away and leave you with a giant hole drilled in your tooth and not even explain what's going on. Of course I didn't go back and found a new dentist but by then my simple cavity fill and the giant hole that was freshly drilled required a root canal or to be pulled. My parents also went to this same dentist with me and he messed up something while working on my stepfathers teeth and sent him off to the oral surgeon saying the numbing should last until he gets to the oral surgeons office. There was a wreck and traffic jam on the road on the way and his numbing wore off too and he experienced excruciating pain until he made it to the oral surgeons office. They also quit going to him. I would not recommend this dentist to anyone that doesn't enjoy pain or anyone that might need more than the single numbing injection

This was an amazing experience for both my 4 year old son and myself. First of all, the decor is…read morebrilliant. My son had so much fun, he can't wait to go back, and had me take pictures! The staff is so incredibly friendly and kind. They totally engaged my son, informed him about every step they did so he wasn't the least bid afraid or nervous. I swear the hardest part was my son choosing what flavor toothpaste he wanted! We didn't have a horribly long wait, which seemed even shorter because my son was completely entertained the whole time and wasn't asking "when can we go" 15 times. (Oh, how I wish there was a place like this when I was a kid!!) Let me give a little tip: I "played dentist" a couple times beforehand... looking at his teeth, taking my finger and scratching his teeth... and he has a spin brush. So my son wasn't surprised at all when they did the same things. I think it truly helped. You can't go wrong here. :)

I took a long time to marinade and have a basis for comparison before writing this review. I was a…read morepatient of Dr. Holmes for Invisalign. Positives: Dr. Holmes and his staff are incredibly friendly and personable, and the office is very efficiently run. It was very rare to be waiting after your appointment time. Dr. Holmes seems to be on the cutting edge of treatments, and a perfectionist, which can be very good in the profession. Negatives: The characteristics just mentioned didn't work well with me. Even though he was very nice I felt like he was doing what he wanted with my treatment regardless off my feelings. Examples: He put the extra ridges on the Invisalign (for when treatment gets advanced and it's hard to keep the Invisilign on and you might need to put "glue" tabs on your teeth that the Invisilign goes over) on the two teeth next to my front ones - making them VERY visible! The purpose of Invisilign is to barely see it! Others I knew with Invisilign had these on their back or side teeth. When I asked about it Dr. Holmes said it was best for the treatment- that very well may be, but not best for me. I'm in in my 30s not a middle schooler, and my job is outside sales. Then he wanted to treat my gums with a procedure involving putting bolts in my gums and using rubber bands which he was very excited about so I agreed. He assured me the rubber bands and bolts wouldn't be visible. NOPE. The bolts weren't but the bands were on my front teeth - again I'm not a middle schooler. When these things happened and I'd express my anxiety/unwillingness it's like he and the staff became motivational speakers - "oh you can barely see them", "It'll be so good for you". Thanks all, but I DON'T WANT THIS. Treatment became so long and tedious with all these "extras" that I threw in the towel a little over a year in - when he initially said I'd be done in a year! Yes my top teeth, gums and bite looked great. But my bottom teeth went back to crooked and I had to re-do treatment a couple years later. Not saying this wasn't partially my fault for discontinuing treatment early, but "early" was more than the time I was told I'd be in treatment total. I will note that he did a laser procedure on my gums that looked fabulous! But again I felt this could've been done without months of bolts and rubber bands. Maybe not but I feel I wasn't educated properly on my options and he wanted to "try out" the bolt/band procedure to see it's results beforehand causing me more social discomfort than necessary. Overall I think Dr. Holmes is very talented in his profession. I also think he meant well and runs a great business. My experience just wasn't what I wanted/needed and for 3k+ I feel it should've been.

What a wonderful experience! After about a year of X-rays and waiting for some more teeth to come…read morein, we finally were able to start this journey. The staff has been wonderful and always making sure that my daughter understands the process and making sure she was comfortable. She's always excited for her appointments!
