After we were seated, forty minutes after our appointment time, an assistant asked whether nitrous oxide would be used, which I declined. The dentist then entered the room without washing her hands and did not introduce herself or confirm my son's identity. She did not explain that she intended to proceed with an extraction. She briefly referenced a "bite block" without clarifying the nature of the procedure. Without obtaining informed consent, the dentist administered Novocaine and exited the room, again without washing her hands. After the injection, an assistant presented an iPad for consent. I asked what I was being asked to sign and was told to "read the iPad." The dentist then returned and extracted the tooth. Post-procedure instructions were provided only after the extraction was completed. At no point prior to Novocaine administration or extraction was informed consent obtained. Additionally, I observed a lack of hand hygiene upon entry and exit, which was concerning as the dentist continued to see other patients. I raised these concerns during the visit. My feedback was dismissed and met with explanations rather than acknowledgment.

It's actually an open area with about 3 chairs for the kiddies to be examine (there are exam rooms behind doors as well but this is what you'll see once you go back ) and every seat has a TV place on the top of the ceiling so that the kids can watch (as distractions and/or for them to feel more at eased) while being examine , which I think is a brilliant idea! . The place is very clean, walls colors are bright and everyone always greet you with a warm smile. The doctors and assistance are always helpful and gentle with my toddlers even though my kids are throwing fits and crying. I would highly recommend taking your kids here! The environment is great!

The hygienists and doctor were absolutely delightful and fun, but on top of that, they clearly are highly trained and know their stuff. They spotted something in one of my kids that was of actual concern (not related to her teeth), and advised me to talk to my pediatrician. Thanks for looking out for her!

Hygienist Lisa was awesome with a hyper, cabin-fevered kiddo, giving names and "kid-friendly" applications to the entire cleaning process (my fave: Mr. Thirsty for the mouth vac). Any discomfort or unease from my boy melted away with her engaging conversation and demeanor. Thank you Lisa. Dr. Heather was direct and didn't try to upsell X-rays, procedures or anything - just straight-forward advice for the next six months of a constantly changing PreK mouth. Plus, he got an invisible ink pen, a Spider Man toothbrush, bubble gum toothpaste and floss sticks on the way out! Where'd the ink end up? My coffee cup and his nose, mostly. Stellar spot that gets kids and what they need to feel comfortable. An easy five stars.

We've been with the practice for 10 years beginning with my daughter and carrying into my son…read more For years we had great service but there were flags along the way that always made us a little uncomfortable. It kept feeling like we were in a factory on an assembly line and very impersonal. Not really a relationship. By chance, I filled out a post treatment feedback survey and mentioned that we had never even met Dr. G. The next appointment, they made me wait at checkout and she very uncomfortably got in my face saying "Heeeeere I AM. Now you've seen me." It was odd. A couple years later, my son had a bunch of cavities pop. He was quite nervous about it during one filling and they course corrected to help make him comfortable. The next cleaning, Dr. G was the doctor. First time ever 9 years in. She burst into the room and yelled "this time you're getting THE BOSS." He was petrified and wasn't really cooperative. We got the basics done. She recommend 6 fillings, most on baby teeth and that we have him undergo anesthesia in Brighton to have it done. We discussed with his doctor and he recommended against it as it would fuel more concerns with dental anxiety to bring him to a strange place and put him out. He recommended trying an anti anxiety med with a dentist in the office that he had worked with before successfully. We communicated this back to Dr. G but didn't hear back. Flash forward 6 months, we had to get a tooth extracted for my daughter recently at the request of her orthodontist. We called to book and they told us that the family had been removed from the practice due to treatment philosophy. No communication, no notice. This is how we found out. My daughter is devastated as she liked the place a lot. Looking back, it seemed par for the course....impersonal, no relationship, self-important vibe by the owner. In summary, good location, pretty good service and availability but it is her way or the high way. We agree with other comments that she seems more inclined to drill on baby teeth than many other dentists.

Unprofessional, Not Child-Appropriate, and Abandoned a Pediatric Patient…read more I am beyond disappointed with my experience at this dental office, and I feel obligated to warn other parents. This office is not kid-friendly, not compassionate, and completely unprofessional when dealing with pediatric patients. My daughter was in extreme pain during a tooth extraction, crying loudly and trying to get out of the chair due to how traumatic and painful the experience was. Any parent in that situation would be distressed. Instead of showing professionalism, patience, or basic bedside manner, the dentist became confrontational, escalated the situation, and ultimately refused to complete the procedure. She abruptly walked away and told us to "go somewhere else," leaving my child in the chair with instruments still in her mouth, actively bleeding, and with a broken tooth left unfinished. My daughter was left crying, shaken, and injured--both physically and emotionally. Abandoning a pediatric patient mid-procedure is unacceptable and dangerous. This was not just poor service; it was reckless and traumatizing. I will never return here, and I strongly advise parents to think twice before trusting this office with their children.

On the dentist's side there is a great sectioned-off waiting area with plenty of toys to play and seating. We did not wait long to be seen. Although this place is very busy (I believe there were 7-8 children all being seen at the same time), there are many hygienists working, as well as the 2 dentists. We were also visited by a person in management (office admin?) who engaged my kids and I in conversation for a few minutes. Like the other reviewer said, there is an open area in the back with 4 chairs all next to each other, which I suppose is great for families with multiple children, but did seem vaguely awkward considering the lack of privacy. There are also several private rooms on the side as well. My son saw both Dr. Goli and Kristen and they were both very fun, engaging and attentive. For first time visits, your child gets a tooth brush, toothpaste, a goodie bag with info and prizes and a certificate with their picture on it. I would highly recommend this place for others with children!
