    I have been waiting for the dentist to call me to clarify my experience and hasn't happened yet, so…read moreI hope they read this message. I scheduled my daughter's emergency appointment for a Monday morning. I took time off from work and I kept her home from school. The office called me that morning and told me they couldn't see her because the dr. had an emergency, but she could be seen the next day at 9:30am. I had a VA appt and a dentist appt for myself starting at 11am, so I knew I was able to make everything on time. I kept my daughter from school, again. Showed up at 9:20am, she was seen, told me what she needed to get done and sent us to a window where I was told I needed to either come back another day or wait until 11am. As I was talking to the girl in the window and explaining to her that I got my original appt cancelled the day before and I couldn't wait until 11am, the office manager comes out of her office, shrugging her shoulders and interrupting my conversation. With a rude demeanor, she told me that if I didn't like it, I could leave. I told her to put herself in my position, that I called out from work the day prior, my daughter had missed 2 days of school and I had other appts that morning, but my daughter needed to be seen to fix her tooth. She didn't care. She didn't apologized for the delay, for the cancelations.. She kept shrugging her shoulders and telling me that if I didn't like it, then leave. Against my will, I decided to stay, for my daughter's benefit. I had to cancel my VA appt, which are hard to get, and canceled my dental appt, which was important. This office manager didn't care at all. I have never encountered someone so rude and careless for the patients as she was that day. I wasn't planning on coming back with any of my kids. However, a week later, I received a letter saying that my services had been terminated. As a private practice, they should have heard both sides of the story before dismissing 4 kids. That woman is a poor example of what customer care is. I don't recommend this place at all. They don't care about the patients and their families. as long as you pay and do what they say without arguments.

    Please don't bring your children to this office and leave them in the back with the adult staff…read moremembers as they may give them a complex if they are only 11 years old I need braces put on their teeth. Don't take my word look at all of the reviews this is a very tasteless practice!

    I would highly recommend calling in to schedule an appointment as I tried using their AI text…read morescheduler and the staff never got my appointment. When I did make it in, my kids loved the place. It is such a cool place, the decor and gaming area alone was enough to make my kids happy. I had 2 back to back appointments but they ended up servicing both at the same time and that was wonderful. I was able to watch both kids at the same time, the dentists were all wonderful. They did a nice job making the kids feel comfortable and cleaning their teeth. We will definitely be going back.

    Don't bring your children here. When Dr. Erika was injured and her sister, Tierney, took over the…read morepractice, things went downhill quickly. This office used to feel welcoming and was filled with happy hygienists and patients. Now the atmosphere is completely different. The office is cluttered with dinosaur decorations everywhere, and the staff seems to have changed significantly. Dr. T appeared to start with a full team but now seems to be down to only a few people. In my experience, her communication with both children and parents comes across as rude, petty, and snide. I'm also concerned about the dental recommendations we received. My kids go every six months for cleanings, and at our last visit I was told my son had holes in two teeth and might even need two root canals. That didn't sit right with me, so I got a second opinion from another dentist. The second dentist found no issues at all. Between the overcharging, requests for reviews, and what felt like questionable diagnoses, I no longer feel comfortable bringing my children here (and we've been here over a decade). I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion if you're told your child needs major dental work.

    This office is hands down the BEST dentist's office I have ever visited. It has a fun and inviting…read moreambiance as soon as you walk in the door. The walls have been decorated with very bright (and very cute!) murals depicting happy sea creatures and enticing marine landscapes. There is a small play area with age appropriate toys for young children to entertain themselves while they are waiting to be seen. This, combined with the smiling faces of the front desk staff, makes for a wonderful welcome, even if your children are a little nervous. Getting to the staff, they are some of the nicest and most accommodating people I have ever met. They take everything in stride, with genuine smiles and kind words. They are efficient but also extremely friendly, which I think is important when working with children. I have never had a bad experience with any of the staff; they really know what they're doing! I have been seen both as a child and as an adult, and each time, I left knowing that I had been well taken care of. Dr. Marta is a very hard-working and dedicated person, and this shows through her work. She genuinely cares about her patients, and makes sure that you will receive the best treatment you possibly can. To sum this up, I would absolutely suggest this office to anyone with children needing a new dentist. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and Dr. Marta is a skilled professional with a warm demeanor perfectly suited for children. The office decor is inviting and interesting, and you will leave without question that you've been properly treated and cared for.

    Total sham of a practice. They claim to be experts in complex pediatric dental conditions and will…read moreonly treat you if you sign a contract worth $4750 for a care plan. We start care with this office, and after 3 visits all my child had received are x-rays, and a myomunchee (a $50 soft silicone orthotic I re-ordered from Alibaba.com). Besides giving us the myomunchee, our initial $2500 payment got us nothing - zilch. We signed a contract for getting a Mybrace, and there was no fitting or provision of the same. After 3 visits with no actual dental care, we called the office and wrote to them in October 2022, and informed them we no longer wish to continue the once a care. The office didn't acknowledge our termination notice, or give us a refund for services not provided. We don't hear anything from the office after, till the date I'm writing this review-over a year later in November 2023. This office has the audacity to bill us for care we didn't receive, **after** we told them we didn't want to continue with their practice. I called their office to rectify the situation and from the front desk's canned response, they clearly have done this before. Please look at other negative reviews about their nefarious billing practices. I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone looking for quality care, and I hope they suffer the consequences of predatory patient care practices.
