One time we showed up for our regularly scheduled visit only to find the place locked and a note on the door saying they were closed for the rest of the month. No notice prior to visit. It's dirty and the receptionist Zoe copped an attitude because we questioned her. Moved to spinaker and will never ever go back.

We had a…read morerecent issue with my daughter's retainer essentially getting into a knife fight with her tongue and they were able to squeeze us in, staying open past closing time to make sure she went home comfortable and happy. The office is a little road-shy, tucked-back off of LIberty a stone's throw from the Sunnyslope plaza in South Salem, so you'll have to use your special Mom/Dad vision or your GPS to ensure you don't miss it the first time, but when you enter their clean, modern office you'll be glad you zeroed-in and found the place. Oh yeah....And if your kid goes to Sumpter, Schirle, Liberty or Battle Creek...You should strongly consider Neighborhood Dentistry....It's just so darned close to those schools. It's like they knew they wanted to open a Pediatric Dentistry office in a place that was convenient for parents to swoop up the fruits of their loin from school. Seriously, you're 5 minutes away from tooth magic whether your little pizza munchers are at Sprague, Judson, Crossler, Abiqua....Any of 'em! Shoot....based on the modern equipment they had in the office I wouldn't be surprised if they installed some type of futuristic portal gizmo that'll whisk you in from anywhere in the world and make you appear in their spacious uber kid-friendly waiting room with a grande coconut milk latte in your hand. We also recently moved my son over to Dr Bruce and as the second kid (you parents know that second kid is generally the driven, hard to please one...my wife says I'm supposed to use those words in favor of the curse words I sometimes employ) and a kid who has some medical visit anxiety he always makes my wife & I feel a little wary of what might transpire. Nope....Not at Neighborhood Dentistry! That kid wore his brightened smile all over town all day and night after his first appointment like some kind of an in-mouth billboard. Anyhow, we really, really loved the Pediatric Dentist we had our kids at before Dr Bruce. When he retired, we were resigned to the fact that we'd likely end up trying a couple offices and experiencing a few clowns. But it seems our luck skipped over winning a family vacation to Disneyland and decided to award us with an absolutely INCREDIBLE dental office for our kids instead. Seriously, if you want to get your kids off on the right foot....er....molar....with their tooth health and habits, you won't find a better office in the Willamette Valley.

On Friday I confirmed my appointment on Monday. Jordon who has been rude to me every time we have talked. I confirmed our appointment Friday but called and Gave me a personal reminder about my appointment. I was with my mother in law who has Alzheimer's who fell at her caregiving facility and was at the Hospital picking her up. That is unacceptable to call me on a SUNDAY for an appointment I confirmed on Friday. A personal reminder on a Sunday ? They called me and my wife Monday morning and I was sleeping in. They called my wife who was at work. I would have gone but still very upset about Sunday. I have epilepsy with a memory problem. I came in a day early for my second appointment. Jordan not considerate about my condition. The appointment was at 11:00 but handed me a card saying 10:40. He didn't explain why or if it's okay with me. He stormed off as usual. Never ever nice or treat me with respect ever.....

The wait time? Absolutely legendary. I arrived when the sun was up. I left when I had developed a deeper understanding of patience than any meditation retreat could ever teach. I'm pretty sure I watched the entire lifecycle of a houseplant while sitting there. Understaffed doesn't even begin to describe it. It felt like three employees were trying to run an operation built for thirty. Phones ringing, lines backing up, people waiting everywhere, and the few staff members present looked like they were moving in slow motion. Not rushed. Not hustling. Just... gliding through time at a pace that suggested they had nowhere to be for the next decade. Every step took forever. Check-in? Forever. Screening? Forever. Actually getting seated? A saga. I've seen sloths show more urgency crossing a road. The frustrating part isn't even the wait, it's that you can clearly see the bottleneck happening in real time. People stacked up. Staff casually strolling between stations. No sense of urgency. No communication about delays. Just vibes and fluorescent lighting. If you have absolutely nothing else to do for the next several hours and you enjoy watching efficiency take a personal day, this might be your spot. If there were an Olympic event for "Turning 45 Minutes Into an Existential Crisis," this place would take gold, silver, and bronze. The atmosphere? Imagine a DMV that lost its will to live, mixed with fluorescent lighting bright enough to interrogate a superhero. The chairs have the personality of unsalted rice cakes. The energy in the room felt like everyone collectively realized they forgot to move their laundry to the dryer. Customer service? Let's just say I've had more warmth from an automated "Your call is important to us" message. I wasn't greeted , I was processed. I half expected someone to stamp "Fragile: Handle With Mild Indifference" on my forehead. The worst part isn't even the wait -- it's that they know they're bad and do absolutely nothing about it. Every complaint gets the same copy-paste "Sorry you had a bad experience, we're committed to improving" response... and then nothing changes. Same long waits. Same understaffed shifts. Same slow process. At some point it stops being a mistake and starts being the standard. And the paperwork. Oh, the paperwork. I'm fairly certain I signed something that gave them naming rights to my firstborn. By page 47, I was just autographing out of muscle memory. By the end of it all, I walked out feeling like I had just completed a side quest in a video game I didn't agree to start. Would I return? Only if stranded in a desert and the only way home required donating plasma to power a spaceship. One star. And that star is for the parking lot, which at least had clear lines.
