I went to this office hoping to have a toothache cleared up (pain started over the weekend, I saw…read morethe provider that Monday). I left with a treatment plan that was totally backwards. The dentist I saw wanted me to take care of things that had nothing to do with my chief complaint. Being new to Buffalo I was really disappointed with this office.. I even called after I left the office that day to see if a script was sent out and if I did have an infection because the treatment plan just didn't make sense to myself or my partner. No script sent out, no notation of infection. I went and got a second opinion elsewhere after 2 more days of pain and I did indeed have an infection that I needed to clear up before any other dental procedure be done. Long story short, do not go here if it is not a routine exam. The assistants and front desk staff are AMAZING though, really sweet from intake to xray.

I was a patient of Wood Dental for 3.5 years before I moved out of the Buffalo area. From the very…read morebeginning, I was always extremely satisfied with the service and care I received. I needed deep cleanings and gum care when I first arrived; they put me on a plan where I came in four times a year for cleanings rather than just twice a year, to ensure that I received the best care possible. I had other services done, like removing/replacing mercury fillings and fixing old fillings that had cracked. I was always happy with the work done. I even received a call one night after-hours from Dr. Wood when he could tell I'd had a particularly rough time during a procedure, just to make sure I was feeling okay. I was always impressed with the technology in the office; it seemed like every time I went in I noticed something they'd added or something that I'd never seen before in previous dentists' offices. My hygienist, Amanda H, is also highly recommended. In addition to being extremely professional and competent, she would remember things about my life and ask me about them during my visits. She swore she never took notes, she just remembered! And this wasn't just because I was coming in four times a year so I was a more recognizable face; my husband only went in twice a year and she'd remember personal details about his life, too. My only "complaint" is that the patient chair in Dr. Wood's procedure room is MUCH more plush and comfortable than the normal chairs in the hygienists' cleaning rooms. Imagine the increased teeth-cleaning experience if those were located in every room!

Yeah, they could update their office a bit - but if it works, it works. My issue is that, upon returning, I've had a newer dentist that doesn't have bedside manner. Very gruff, short and to the point, and not really explanatory. I can be alright with that if you're competent and good at your job. But, in the times I've been, it seems like he goes out of his way to activate my gag reflex. Yes, I have one and I warn people about it - but if you're in my mouth and then just start wriggling around, of course I'm going to gag. What was the reason for you to start doing that? And, if there is a reason, let me know - part of a gag reflex is a control thing. Also, if I've just gagged, don't ask if you can try again 10 seconds later - there's a process to gain composure and it takes time. I've worked with a bunch of dentists. The best ones operate on a consent model - "I'm going to do this now, okay?" is a very clear and powerful question. It makes the process easier and it is communicative. The hygienists here are usually pretty good. Friendly and probably trying to make up for the fact that they have someone who doesn't relate to patients well. Cleanings have been generally pretty good for me in the past few years. Quick, easy, and I'm out. I miss Dr. Burgler! Lastly, I sent in a payment a month ago yet got a reminder bill for the same payment. I'm pretty sure it's their office not processing the payment quick enough - not me having never sent a payment. So, how about a chill?

In a new place looking for a new dentist. I am very particular about my teeth and i make sure to…read moreget my cleaning every six months. Finding a dentist office with great staff and that keeps on-time appointments seems to be a very hard task these days. I think i may have found those qualities in D & D dental Atmosphere Set in a large house, before you step inside your not sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to see a full front desk and waiting room and three separate rooms with dental chairs in the back. It was full of old school dental office charm. The entire place gave off a feeling of coziness. The equipment is not your modern day technology that dental offices are equipped with now days. The equipment is definitely reminiscent of 90's, manual teeth scaling tool etc. However, I'm a firm believer in its not what you have but how you do it and my dental hygentist knew how to use her tools. Staff Front desk The front desk women are awesome. They were friendly, welcoming, seemingly happy with their jobs. They were all the things that seem to be lacking in today's office staff. Service was quick and i had virtually no wait time to check in. Dental hygienist My dental hygentist was Selena. I freaking love her. She actually talked to me, it wasn't just all business, which i appreciated. She even talked with me while she was scaling my teeth which i appreciated since at times it was a little painful (its the dentist) and it helped keep my mind off what she was doing. Dr. Martinez He is a funny guy. Again like the his staff, he was totally about customer service. He welcomed me to buffalo and was eagar to talk about all the things the city had to offer. Experience The whole experience was great! I enjoyed everything this dental office had to offer right from the start. l will be back for my 6 month cleaning and i highly recommend D & D dental!

First appointment was just an initial check-up and cleaning. The staff are all very friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed. I was a bit nervous about my next appointment though, where the doc would get rid of that decay and fill it over. Never had a cavity in my life, now I'm 43 and it's all coming apart!! I went in for the fillings and wow, let me tell you - #1, I didn't even feel pain from the lidocaine injections given to numb you all up for the actual procedure. Just a bit of pressure. #2, I felt absolutely nothing during the actual removal work. And no, half my face wasn't out of commission nor did I drool or speak very incoherently lol. I do not have insurance, so I was pleasantly surprised by their prices. 10/10 will return as long as I live in this area!! NOT RELATED TO THE PLACE OF BUSINESS, JUST AN OBSERVATION FOR PEOPLE WITH NERVOUS HABITS---- However, I will warn any people with nervous habits that involve chewing or biting on your lips: the total numbness is going to cause you blisters the next day. I noticed myself doing it soon after the appointment and thought "OKAY you're going to have to stop doing that..." but alas, by the next day I had a weird looking sore on my lip where I bite it, pretty subconsciously, until now. Luckily that healed quick. But that's my own damn fault.

So I've been a patient here for a little over a year and a half now. It is almost impossible for me to request a refill (for my endometriosis prescription)over the phone. Nobody knows what they're doing. I call their number and the receptionists sound like they don't know what to do with this information. Each time, they are very rude to me. I get told "I'm gonna give you to a nurse" and then I'm bounced around from different nurses not knowing what to do for my refill. This happens every month, since my doctor there puts a request for refill on each prescription, so I have to reach out to them. Sometimes, I'm told "oh I'll send this to a nurse and they'll call you back"... and days will pass by, nobody calls me and no refills were sent through. But today was the last straw, I saw my GP for an issue and she said I needed to see my gyno right away as it was growing to be a serious issue. So I called, and I explained my situation, asking if I could schedule the earliest appointment they had. I get rudely spoken to over the phone by the receptionist who claimed "well I see you have a check up in April, that's probably when they'll see you. But I'll send this to a nurse. They'll call you back". And then hung up on me. So I already know the chances of someone calling me back are slim to none. It is March 24th. My appointment is for April 28th. That is over a month away. Now, I understand if that is the soonest they could see me. But this isn't a routine check up. It's a concerning issue, and to be rudely spoken to for no reason, and told that someone will call me back and just hung up on, that is so unprofessional. I'm upset because I have an issue that is concerning me and I just would like to be treated with empathy. I'm upset because no matter who I seem to talk to, I get rudely spoken to, and talked down to. I'm upset due to the lack for unprofessionalism that seems to be everywhere in this doctors office. I do not recommend this place.
