BEWARE OF OVER-DIAGNOSIS - RECOMMEND SEEKING SECOND OPINION…read more For context - I am a dentist. I don't see my own children, because I work on post and only see Soldiers. My son was referred to this practice from a general dentist in our area due to some very minor cavities that were questionable, and one cavity that definitely needed a filling. When my son arrived at the pediatric practice, the only type of x-ray taken was a pano (the type that goes around your whole head) which anyone who works in dentistry knows - SHOULD NOT BE USED SOLELY TO DIAGNOSE CAVITIES. For that, bitewing x-rays need to be taken. This was not even offered to my wife when she took him there (when I called and spoke with Dr. V, he said that he didn't even offer to take them because "everyone says no.") We certainly would have said yes. Based on the referral from the other dentist that said "evaluate patient's molars and treat as needed." Dr. V took it upon himself to look at the Pano and from a non-diagnostic tool, diagnosed EIGHT STAINLESS STEEL CROWNS on all of my son's posterior teeth!! My wife called me and said this is what my son needed - to which I replied no he absolutely does not (as I had already seen the X-rays from the other dentist with very minor cavities.) My wife did not tell Dr. V or his staff that I am a dentist. Thank goodness that I am - as I realized how bogus this treatment plan was. We took my son to another local pediatric dentist, who did a full work up, including the proper type of radiographs and simply recommended a couple of small fillings! Confirming that the original treatment plan offered by this other guy was a gross example of over-diagnosis. I called and left a message for Dr. V to give me a call, and when he did he called me arrogant and defensive for taking the position of this being over diagnosis. I simply wanted to point out to him, that as a fellow dentist, I would recommend that in the future - he take his own radiographs to form a proper diagnosis and not simply go off of a referral and a non-diagnostic Pano. He repeatedly asked me if I was a "pediatric dentist" as if that is a requirement in order to recognize cavities in primary (baby) teeth. I promise, I'm not the type of person to leave a review online unless I truly feel like the public needs to know something. Please consider seeking a second opinion if anything seems fishy with your child's treatment plan.

When I politely asked her why she was berating me and accusing me of demanding information I never asked her for she became more hostile and dismissive when I questioned her inexplicable hostility. This woman is a not qualified to be communicating with anyone in a professional setting. Such a bizarre and unnecessary display of contempt for absolutely no reason.

Dr. Cangas is a veteran that understands the unique situation our community faces. It is obvious he takes pride in his profession. My son knocked his tooth out on a Friday night. Dr. Cangas came in at nearly midnight on a Friday night to take care of my son. The only thing he said was "Come to the office I will be there in 15 minutes." He did it with a smile and took care of my son during a very traumatic experience. Even called the next day to make sure he was doing well. It is humbling to know that there are people like this that are willing to take such good care of my family. My highest recommendation.

Dr. Cangas has a military backyard, highly educated and experienced; with that he was very patient, informative and friendly. Their location is convenient if you live in Moore County, located near the Olive Garden. Walking in, the office is themed with all things horse racing; a bright, cheery atmosphere and you literally can't miss the horse in the next room greeting your little ones as they come in for their visit. While waiting they can watch a movie, show or play a video game. This is definitely a family and child friendly establishment. At the end of the appointment, a nice touch Dental Derby has added is a reward system for your child if they have done well and have been following best practices for oral health. Little ones earn Derby Dollars, a neat way to reward them for keeping their teeth clean every time they come for a visit. If you have a special needs child, I highly recommend bringing them here as well, their experience will put a parent at ease, just be sure to let them know ahead of time. Also, a tip, if you want to save time, you are able to print new patient paperwork at home and fill it out there rather than do it in the office, saving you from be distracted and held up.

Me and my daughter have been attending this dental office since 2020. I called in on 1/11/22 to…read moreschedule a tooth extraction, which the receptionist advised me that she would be able to get me in for an appt on 1/12/22 @ 1p.m. So, I showed up to my appt on time, they took my temperature and immediately took me to their back room. The dental assistant was very nice and talkative which helped pass time while I waited on Dr. Taylor. The dental assistant took x-rays in the mean time. At about 1:30 Dr.Taylor came in to talk to me which was fine. Dr. Taylor left out again and at about 1:40ish she came back in to administer the numbing medication, in the mist of her numbing my tooth another dental assistant (male) stood in the doorway of the room I was in to tell Dr. Taylor he needed her in the room next door to me. (Note. The people next door had literally just gotten there, and I've been there for 45 mins now), after she numbed my tooth she left out. I assumed she went into the next room which she did. Now from my understanding numbing medication takes about 15 mins to fully take affect. With that being said Dr. Taylor didn't return to my room until 2:45. At this point I was very irritated. (Note. I'm 9 months pregnant & need to eat every 2 hrs.. so at this point I'm pretty much starving). In the mist of my hr wait 2 dental assistants kept asking if I was numb and I stated Every-time "yes, I've been numb almost immediately after it was administered" they also kept advising that Dr. Taylor would be in shortly. But the shortly never came. At 1:45 when Dr. Taylor did come in she asked me "is there a problem", I stated yes and explained to her how I felt. She then stated that she was doing me a favor by extracting my tooth and that She had other patients to attend too. She then laughed to her dental assistant and stated that I was very rude. Which I then told Dr. Taylor I felt She was very rude and unprofessional. I understand that these offices have to maneuver between patients, but to leave out of my Room to attend to another patient who literally just arrived in the middle of her numbing me is just insane. Dr. Taylor took so long to Come back that she had to administer more numbing medication because I could feel everything she was doing ( I'm assuming the bit of numbing she did give me was wearing off within that hr time frame). I felt as if Dr. Taylor picks and chooses which patients to treat in a timely matter.. and I feel like this is due to Insurance type and race. Dr. Taylor then stated "well You can leave" & after waiting 2 hrs to get a tooth pulled who's leaving at that point...?!?!? Not I. Please perform the extraction that I've been waiting on for 2 hrs. So to sum this up, Fr. Taylor Came in at 2:45 and to pull my Tooth and I was getting Up out my of the chair at 3p.m. I'm saying this to say it took her 2 hrs to do a 15 Min procedure which is RIDICULOUS. She laughed at my feelings which was disrespectful. All in all, I most definitely will not be going back for further checkups. Ps. Dr. Taylor staff were GREAT. It was literally Just the dentist with problems.

Only one staff member was actively assisting patients while several others carried on side bar conversations with each other. While waiting to not only be acknowledged but checked in for our appointments, there were 5 staff members at the desk, only one was on the phone/assisting anybody. There was not a line. There was no wait. I assume they were just passing time waiting to get off of work. After check-in, my children were called back. Shortly thereafter, a dental hygienist came to retrieve me because one of my children was crying and expressing that the procedure was painful. Based on my own experience during my cleaning, I can confirm that the cleaning was indeed painful. Experience or not, there is always room for improvement in your professional skills to include interactions with other people and their children. Under no circumstance is it appropriate for staff to attempt to discipline, reprimand, or chastise a child, especially a child who is not their own. If there is a behavioral concern, the parent should be notified immediately so they can address it, or the provider can choose to refuse care if they feel unable to continue. Rudeness and attempted discipline are unacceptable and unprofessional. It took an extreme amount of restraint for me not to escalate the situation in the office. I will be speaking directly with the office manager and will also be notifying the appropriate state authorities regarding this experience.
