Greedy and zero customer service. Despite having my three children there for a number of years my…read morefamily was treated terribly today when checking in my two daughters for their appointments. Here's a breakdown: We had a change in insurance. I have had this happen at other practices and they instructed me to provide updated insurance at my earliest but in the meantime they will invoice for the visit. Keep in mind, we have been going there for years, so they know us. Instead, they stated I had to pay in full while I was there, and if I didn't, I will have to pay a $50 cancellation fee for both daughters totaling $100 and reschedule, just because I didn't have my updated insurance info at the time. This is despite the fact that I have had my three children seen there for at least the last 4-5 years, with no issues with paying our invoices. They treated us like complete strangers and were only concerned about money, not even showing the slightest amount of understanding or care. The last concern is when I asked the front receptionist to speak with the doctor, she stated in a rude tone that the doctor was busy with other clients, which is strange since it was during the time the doctor was to be treating my daughters. The lobby was empty and there were no other patients walking in or waiting, which tells me it was an outright lie and she didn't want me to voice my customer service concerns with the doctor. It is very unfortunate that they have put money above long term relationships and care of their customers. I highly recommend not using this practice, as they are very unprofessional and care the least about their clients.

I brought my two kids (2 & 4) for their semi-annual checkup. And the staff was awesome! It was my 2…read moreyear olds first visit and the dentist let him stand up for the exam because he was scared to lay in the chair. They presented all the cleaning tools in a way that was fun and intriguing so my kids let them clean their teeth and do a quick exam. I highly recommend especially for kids that might be more fearful about going to the dentist.

We strongly advise against going to this dentistry. They traumatized our four year old and caused…read morewhat we believe will be irreparable psychological harm. Summary: -The dental assistant restrained our child as a first resort and without consent. -They never checked for numbness before drilling and refused to stop when she screamed that it hurt. -The treatment plan we created with Dr. Phillips was contradicted at the actual procedure. -Because of our experience, we worry that many children are told they don't need a numbing shot, and then this dentistry holds them down and ignores their screams of pain -They did not communicate what was going to happen or ask permission Dr. Phillips was nice and patient. She explained two options, reassured us we could change our mind, and told us our daughter would not need to be numbed. When we returned, Dr. Phillips was on maternity leave. The assistant, Angela, was upset by our choice of a filling. She insisted the filling would likely become infected and cause sepsis. She repeatedly stated that she had never seen a cavity that big treated with just a filling. She gave so much medical advice that we thought she was a dentist. We said we still wanted the filling. She then said our daughter would need numbing, contradicting Dr. Phillips. While upsetting, in hindsight we are glad they numbed her, because they would not have stopped to see if she was in pain. From there, the assistant was unnecessarily controlling. She forced our daughter to wear sunglasses for 20 minutes before the procedure, refused to let her hold a toy, denied adjusting headphones that hurt, and snapped at her when she whimpered after seeing the vaculux. When the dentist arrived, he did not introduce himself to our daughter or prepare us. The assistant forced the vaculux into our daughter's throat, choking her. The dentist noticed it was too large and asked for a smaller one, but the assistant said they don't have a smaller size. The assistant grabbed our daughter's hands and arms and physically restrained her before any instruments were being used that our daughter could interfere with. This made her panic so she started screaming through the vaculux. Despite this, the dentist began drilling. We begged them to stop. The dentist asked for a bite-block instead, but the assistant said they didn't have any. She huffed and acted annoyed, but returned with a "mouth-gag". After forcing it into her mouth, the dentist started drilling again and the assistant held her down again. We tried to comfort her, but the assistant constantly spoke over us. Between screams our daughter kept trying to yell, "It hurts!" through the mouth-gag. We demanded that they stop so we could see what was hurting her. We were scared that her tooth wasn't numb since they had never checked. After she stopped sobbing she told us that the mouth gag was cutting into the roof of her mouth. For the remainder of the procedure, the Dentist asked the assitant to let our daughter open her mouth herself. When finally given the chance, our daughter immediately complied and stayed calm. Afterward, the assistant excused her harshness by saying she was scared the procedure wouldn't be finished. They treat children less-than human. We cannot imagine a dentist for adults ignoring screams of pain and/or restraining a patient because they are scared of choking. Yet, it was completely normal here to treat the most vulnerable people this way. Now, our little four year old is terrified of dentists. She draws pictures of children screaming at the dentist and playing games where children are tortured by them. She asks nightly why we didn't rescue her from them. We can't say if this would have been different with Dr. Phillips there, but the culture of this office where assistants restrain children, dentists drill through screams, and parents are silenced, makes us think it was not an isolated incident.

I know, how many problems can an under 2 year old have? If you're Indigo, not a lot but it's still important to get check ups. They have a standard kids waiting room full of toys and games, a fish tank which is relaxing, and little toy and book stations in the actual examination area. The dental assistant was very sweet she didn't want to make Indigo upset twice, so just let Dr. Cheryl do her examination. After that was done, with no drama, Indigo picked out a toy and away we went for a post appointment treat. They really strive to make the appointment as stress free as possible for the kids, this is fantastic, and prevents/minimizes fear of all things dental appointment related. I appreciate the fast front desk check in and check out, and their text message reminders. Indigo gives this place 40 stars for friendly people and toys!
