The final straw was this past December. My daughter was seen and diagnosed with two cavities, but we were told the soonest they could treat them was June. At the time she wasn't in pain, so I trusted their guidance. Fast forward to now--she was just fitted for Invisalign, and the pressure caused severe pain in the teeth with the cavities. She was crying and in extreme discomfort. I contacted the office explaining the situation and was told they still could not see her any sooner. There was no emergency accommodation, no concern, and no attempt to help. We were simply told to find another dentist. Allowing a child to go six months with multiple cavities and refusing to help when they are in obvious pain is unacceptable. This office showed zero compassion or urgency, and it's clear they do not prioritize their pediatric patients' well-being. I will be pulling my kids from this practice. I would not recommend this office to any parent who expects timely care and concern for their child.

**Breastfeeding moms note: this office is NOT supportive of breastfeeding.**…read more First, the good: there was a kind hygienist and sparkling facilities that were clearly designed with kids in mind (bright colors, toys, iPads, Disney movies playing). These strike me as features you want in a pediatric dental practice. Now, the bad. In summary: the dentist we saw made recommendations that contradict major medical organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, and the American Dental Association, as well as our own pediatrician. The dentist we saw was unprofessional and overbearing, and the lecture he subjected me to bordered on harassment. The recommendations he made were outside his areas of expertise, contradicted recent medical studies, and seemed to be based on his personal opinion. I took my 2-year-old daughter for her first dentist appointment yesterday. We saw Dr. Williams. Before he even looked in my daughter's mouth, he noticed that I had checked the box for "nursing" on our form. He asked if this was true, and I told him that we nurse once before bed, and then brush her teeth. He accused me of nursing only for my own emotional benefit, and told me I was serving as a "human pacifier." I found this condescending and humiliating, and was stunned that a medical professional would speak to me in this way. He recommended switching to a plastic pacifier instead, which I told him contradicted what I had read about pacifier use on the American Dental Association website. Dr Williams went on to tell me that nursing "has no nutritional benefit at this age", a claim that has been widely disproved in recent studies. I told him as much, and he interrupted me to ask if my daughter eats "baby food." She eats regular food, in fact, but we have discussed with her pediatrician the benefits of continued nursing to her developing digestive system. He ignored this, and continued to berate me for nursing, without looking at my daughter's teeth. He told me that nursing would increase her chances of getting ear infections, which is both the exact opposite of what every medical study says, and the exact opposite of our own experience (my daughter has never had an ear infection). Dr Williams shared an anecdote in which he was invited to speak at a La Leche League meeting (he called it "the lesh society"), and explained disparagingly that this was a group of women who insisted on nursing your kids until they're six (an inaccurate characterization of the organization). He laughed that he was never invited back. At this point I began to suspect that his opposition to nursing was based more on his personal preferences than any medical information. Note that none of his arguments against nursing had anything to do with teeth or oral health, and in one case contradicted ADA recommendations about oral health. After saying several more times that we had discussed the matter with my daughter's doctor, and would take our recommendations on nursing from the doctor, I firmly interrupted his tirade. I said that we were there to have him look at my daughter's teeth, so could he please examine her for any tooth decay? I am capable of doing my own research on breastfeeding, and will ask my pediatrician if I have any questions. He finally performed a perfunctory exam of my daughter's teeth and proclaimed her free from any decay. Dr Williams concluded the appointment by comparing breastfeeding to giving my daughter "five cups of Mountain Dew" every night before bed. Never mind that we brush her teeth afterwards, and never mind that Mtn Dew and breast milk are nutritionally incomparable. Then he had the nerve to include "nutritional counseling" as a line item on our bill. In case you're curious, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization both recommend nursing until "at least" age 1, ideally age 2 "and beyond" (those phrases are quotes from their websites). The American Dental Association defers to these organizations in their guidelines, and recognizes the overall health benefits of nursing when paired with good oral hygiene such as brushing the teeth before bed.

We needed three baby teeth pulled and we were on a time crunch (long, boring story). Dr. Wolf's office was efficient and friendly from the first phone call. The receptionist, Rita, explained that I would need to get X-rays of the teeth either from them or from our orthodontist and she explained why. Then she gave me the email to have them sent and she called to confirm when she got them and to schedule the consultation with Dr. Giles who does the extractions. Imagine that? I didn't have to do the follow-up myself. Here are a few other things I liked: We don't have dental insurance and when I inquired about the cost of the procedures and the nitrous, I was given the information I needed. Again - a refreshing change. Our appointment time was 1 p.m. We were seen at 1 p.m. I was able to fill out the new patient forms online. Dr. Giles met with my daughter for the first time at a desk versus in the examination chair - much less intimidating. Dr. Giles herself. She's delightful. If you don't have a pediatric dentist - go there. If you don't have one you like, switch to this one.

My son who's very shy and attached to us (parents) wiggles down and went to go play with other kids which is shocking to us a bit. So that's the positive side! Ok, now here's my mistake. Our dental insurance covers almost everywhere but apparently this place was out of network. Ok my bad, I should have checked before I got there. But they way they treated us was so poorly. The assistant seemed like she didn't want to take care of us at all. She was waiting for the "OK" if our insurance covered or not before she took my son back. And the big guy at the receptionist desk was just bluntly rude and stuck up. He had that I'm better than you kind of attitude. Also, front desk people were dressed like bums. You would think you would have your staff dressed more appropriately and no it wasn't a causal Friday. Another thing is after the visit with the doctor, generally kids get to pick/or given a sticker or prize. Nope not my son, he didn't exist to them apparently. Anyways, the other positive thing is that Dr. Rice was fantastic! He was very friendly and attentive. It would be nice if his staff was trained the same way.

They said since it was our 3rd no call no show they were declining us as patients. Which is untrue, I called and rescheduled twice previously in the past two months because the sickness has been running through our house. I never once "no called no showed." So beware, if you ever reschedule your appointment due to being sick they may decline you as a patient, even if you have doctors notes to prove your sickness. I guess just show up with your sick kids to avoid being told you can't come back.

The representative took down my dental insurance information and advised our insurance was accepted but could not elaborate further, stating we'd firm up on covered costs before the day of service. Crickets until the day of service; and when I further inquired during check in whether my insurance covered the visits I was assured everything was fine, though still no particulars could be given yet. The atmosphere was clean and the demeanor of the staff, which is exclusively female, was mostly polite. I insisted on accompanying my daughter's back and felt a little resistance. Feeling a little uncertain on the their insurance assurance, we declined X-Rays and opted for exam and cleanings only, which only consisted of polishing & flossing... I'd estimate about 30 minutes total. Upon checkout imagine my surprise when the billing desk told me I owed $700... for 3 very quick "cleanings," and a go bag with toothbrush. Turns out they are Not in my network and I'd definitely not have used them at their service prices, had they been up front with me the weeks preceding the appointment. Overall, they were polite, the office was clean and the dentist herself seemed knowledgeable and capable... though if Im being honest- it felt kind of like more of a money making operation rather than a genuine focus on kids smiles.
