    Kachelle S.

    Be careful giving this place a negative review. wrote a review on another site and we were dismissed as patients. I don't mind because I have my kids established elsewhere now but for some it might be a big deal. I also find it very unprofessional and child like to send me a screenshot of my review. I'd like to say that my children loved dr Desi and I believe he is the owner. I have nothing negative to say about him however his staff is making this a real horrible place to take your children and this letter I received shows that as well. I'd expect an apology for my kids experience but instead we got booted. Very unprofessional. They also blocked me on Facebook. It is my right to review businesses as I see fit and we shouldn't be shamed for doing so. Thank you.

    I was very pleased with Kids World Dental for it was my daughters first time there and experience with getting her teeth cleaned. All of the staff was very kind and informative. They made my daughter feel comfortable which I loved for they understand they are working with children. It was very clean & very up to date and I'm very happy a place like this accepts Medí-Cal for this is a way better place than western dental. Trust worthy staff , I will continue with my daughters cleanings here. I was hesitant to going here because of the reviews but while I was there everyone seemed happy and was being called right away. Great job , keep it up!

    I've never been to dental school but this is obviously not ok.

    This supposed to be a dental office yet was sent to another place because they "didn't have what they needed to fix certain teeth".

    My son was seen by his regular dentist who informed us that half his tooth was missing and was…read moreinfected/abscessed, and they wouldn't be able to pull it for a few months. In order to avoid him having to take antibiotics until then, I frantically called around trying to find a dentist that could see him ASAP to get it pulled. After speaking to a few different places, I decided to take my son here since they were accommodating enough to see him the quickest. They informed me he would first need an exam by the dentist to see what work needed to be done, which was fine by me. While there he talked about a lot more extensive work that needed to be done including another tooth pulled, baby root canal, and a crown (all of which was never mentioned by his regular dentist). They said he could come in the next morning to get the infected tooth pulled for which I was so grateful to get it taken care of. Signed off on the treatment plan which again stated that the infected tooth was going to be pulled first and the rest of the dental work (extra tooth pulled, baby root canal) would be done at a later date. My husband had to work the day of my son's extraction and since I had a baby I couldn't go back there with my son. But he assured me he was fine to go back by himself. Tooth pulled and we headed home, only for my husband to mention later that day "I thought the infected tooth was on the other side?"....... Yes, yes it was..... The infected tooth was still in his mouth... After finally getting a hold of the receptionist I asked her for some clarification as to why they did not pull my sons infected tooth, the one they said they would, the one I specifically came there for in the first place, the one they had listed on the treatment plan. She spoke to the dentist and this is where the gaslighting began... she said it was not a mistake that he made a judgement call based upon his expertise, and that he decided to pull the other tooth (which just had a larger cavity mind you) because he wanted to get that root canal taken care of before it became infected. And that if it became infected he would've had to have had 3 teeth pulled.... So you're telling me that they're over here just pulling teeth willy nilly when they get infected instead of the first line of defense which would be a baby root canal, which spoiler alert is what you were going to be doing regardless? Imagine taking your child to the doctor for an infected cut on his leg, only for him to come into the waiting room with a bandage on his arm instead. The doctor tells you he noticed the infected cut on his leg but wanted to take care of the cut on his arm first because of the "potential" of it becoming infected, and to come back in a few weeks and he will take care of the infected cut on the leg. That is essentially what happened in this case, literally absurd right? So now my neurodivergent son had to take antibiotics which again isn't easy for him and I wanted to avoid. It required a doctors visit just to get the script changed to chewables because he can't take liquid form. All of this could've been avoided had this dentist just PULLED THE INFECTED TOOTH!

The letter stated due to "clinical circumstance" they think we would be best served somewhere else. Clinical=treatment so I called to ask what treatment they were incapable of doing so I could let the future dentist know. Of course, the reply was "there isn't anything we are unable to do". So ...do I have any no call-no shows on appointments or have an outstanding bill? (because that's understandable). Nope I had two appointments that I showed up to on time and I had no money owed. This was all over me not communicating with them over a service they were going to do in the future. My autistic son needs anesthesia for treatment which hundreds of dollars that is due up front. The treatment he needed was not urgent or hurting him, so I told the dentist and hygienist this was unfortunately not something I could do immediately. So the dismissal reason was not updating them about a procedure that I told them I would have to contact them about it at a later date. Do they have a right to be frustrated/annoyed? Sure. But no one is required to keep you updated on their life circumstances in relation to a dental procedure. The amount of entitlement and self-importance it takes to create a policy around it is astounding. SUGGESTION. If they had said since its been 90days, we have to schedule another checkup because we don't want to do a treatment unless we are fully knowledgeable of the current condition, I could totally understand that, and that would sound like caring service. I have never had a medical/dental professional throw a fit over me not following up. I have, however, had them explain additional services were required because the information isn't as current as they would like, but never straight refusal of service. The tactic on the letter, pretending that this is in the patient's best interest, is supposed to be a tactic used after the consumer has proven they will waste time or fight about the worth of business and its services. Ie. a couple of no-call no shows, or outstanding bill. In this case I fail to see where their damages are over three phone calls in November and one letter in January. All of these were technically not required and are usually a courtesy. I can't imagine how your business has made people feel and the guilt or shame they must feel after being dismissed. If they don't contact you, maybe it's because they are STRUGGLING. Maybe it's because they are carrying such a huge load, that many things are falling through the cracks. It's lacks so much care and empathy on your part, and you would add to that burden because they didn't get in touch with you and explain what was going on in their lives? Or have to explain to you when they could afford the service or when they could actually schedule it? Both bold and wrong of you. My son was sent to you SPECIFICALLY because of his special needs. It hurts me for him that you would make a choice like this, because I didn't respond in your timeframe. You might be inconveniencing me, but really you punished him. You didn't do this to me, you did this to my 5 year old son. Obviously we will find another provider, and I'm glad I got this early on so I didn't invest time and money in your business. I am not angry and I respect that your business has the right to run things your way. What I don't like that you present your business as kind and caring when there is no way a business who was those things would make this a policy. Three months is a flash in a parent's busy life, and people get sent to you for specialized care. Non-communication is not about you. Decentralize your business in people's life.

    Sometimes you forget that dentist's are like, SUPER interesting people…read more It was my first time here and I came for a routine check in and cleaning. Right away, I was greeted with a great smile. The lady at the front desk was clearly busy, but that didn't stop her from being attentive and friendly. Lovely welcome desk. As soon as I'm called back, I'm greeted by another friendly smile ( I believe "Maria"), and she tells me that she will be the one taking care of my X-Rays and photos. She was eager to chat, and even gave me some really interesting insight into their new camera system. Another lovely person. I'm then greeted by the lady who will be doing my cleaning, as well as Dr. Amethyst Schlecht. Dr. Amethyst Schlecht is very well spoken and engaging. She had a knowledgeable answer for every question, and never made me feel uncomfortable. Her inspection was quick but thorough, and I walked away feeling like the visit was comprehensive. The female dentist who did my cleaning (I'm bad with names, sorry!) was extremely friendly and equally as knowledgeable. I hadn't been to the dentist in years, so she really needed to put some work into the cleaning. However, she managed to keep it comfortable and basically pain free--other than the usual tugging and poking that is necessary. I think my favorite part was how everyone seemed super happy and eager to share knowledge with me. Every question was met with an answer. I felt like I was talking to enthusiasts, not just bored people at a job they never wanted. Perfect first time experience. Looking forward to coming back in 6 months! Cheers

Which they excel in that. As far as the front staff that schedules appointments absolutely terrible and inconsiderate. During our first visit, they "scheduled" our next two appointments one for March and one for June. They even gave us a handwritten reminder on a card from their office. When approaching the appointment in March, I realized that they never called to confirm his appointment. I went ahead and called and they said it wasn't in the system. They assured me that his appointment was there and to still go in. When I arrived, his appointment was not there in the system, but thankfully, they were able to squeeze them in that same day. Before leaving, I confirmed his appointment for June. I showed them the reminder card that they had given us and they said yes it's in our system. We arrive today and there is a flyer on the door that says our office is closed two Saturdays out of the month. It just baffles me that they scheduled us an appointment on a day that they are closed and if this is something that is new, why did they not call/email us to let us know new office hours or that they were rescheduling our appointment. We will not be returning here.
