I'm a little sad to write this. I've been bringing my 7 and 8 year old here since they were babies…read moreand, with few exceptions, we have had good experiences. My daughter is autistic and non-speaking and also has some medical trauma, so being in any clinical setting is understandably upsetting for her. She is petrified from the moment we walk in; she cries on and off, clings to me like a koala, and refuses to open her eyes from the second we enter the building, but is still pretty compliant with her (very basic) exam. We usually have to wait 15-20 minutes before being taken back, which doesn't help either, but I get it. Today we got some of the usual stares and eye-rolls when my daughter started getting upset, which I don't like but tolerate. We are used to it. My daughter's exam began first, and the hygienist was wonderful with her. She finished before my son was done, so I took my daughter outside to grandma and then returned for my son. When I came back, my daughter's hygienist was huddled up with my son's (he was halfway through his exam, still in the chair) having an animated, whispered conversation that switched topic as soon as the one facing the doorway saw that I had returned (she all of a sudden started pointing to a picture of three kids at my son's hygienist's work station and started more loudly talking about them). In all honestly, they might not have been talking about us or my daughter's behavior during our visit, but it felt like they were. And they obviously knew that they looked like they were, since they so obviously changed the topic and manner in which they were speaking, and then abruptly ended the conversation. And as a nurse, believe me I get it. We all need to vent after a difficult assignment. But as the parent of a disabled child, it stings. I've come to expect this kind of behavior from average people when we're out and about, but in a professional/medical setting I expect better. It caught me off guard. We will probably continue to come here, because we have had mostly good experiences and I know everyone has an off day. It's also entirely possible that we were not the topic of conversation between these two hygienists, but it certainly seemed like we were, and it continues to bother me. My daughter does the best that she can, and it usually isn't "good enough" by most people's standards, but I am very, very proud of her and her progress. Maybe save the personal conversations about your patients for when they've left for the day.

From playroom to watching the ceiling TV during the cleaning and goodie bag with balloons when you leave. It is all great! Because they are great and popular, scheduling can be difficult.

Everyone is kind and they take the time to explain things to you and make sure your children are comfortable and well taken care of.

When I later received a phone call, I thought it was a reminder, but instead I was told that I had "missed" an appointment. I explained that I never received any reminders. During that same call, I was informed that my other son's Monday appointment had been moved without my consent because it was supposedly not confirmed--despite me confirming it previously. I asked to speak with a manager and was told no manager was available. I then asked for a complaint number or another way to escalate the issue and was told there was none. The lack of accountability and the rude tone during this interaction were extremely disappointing. To make matters worse, I am currently caring for a child with sickle cell disease who was recently hospitalized, and I had just spent the entire night in the emergency room with my oldest son. Being treated with such disregard during an already stressful time was unacceptable. This experience shows a lack of care and value for families and patients. Because of this, I will be moving all of my children's dental care elsewhere.

If you want your kid to have childhood trauma, afraid of going to dentist, go to this place…read more Not kid friendly, no empathy, no care. AT ALL. Took me me a year to write this negative review, because I've found a decent children dental place that treats my daughter like a human being. Truly appreciate the level care of the new place and still have seconded trauma from this Dr. Janice Work. We were in the waiting room, and my daughter saw a kid coming out bursting in tears crying, she got REALLY nervous and scared, she whined and complained she wanted to leave now. Then we got out the waiting room and they called us, my daughter suffered from the PAIN, even I could even feel it. Our doctor, she was very OLD, and she added the numbing and turned around, she pulled off ALL three teeth right off without waiting for the numbing to kick in, she pulled off the teeth, which left my daughter in horror. My daughter cried while she pulled off the teeth, and I watched her suffer, knowing that i'll never come back to this horrible place ever again. Half way going home, she stop crying, I asked why she stopped crying and she said that she couldn't feel her lips anymore. The numbing JUST kicked in, the horrible doctor we had should have waited, she barely even cared she was crying in pain. Few weeks later, there was a bubble on her gums, maybe she placed something wrong which left an infection or something. This started her trauma of going to dentist, even if it is just a check up. I don't recommend going to this horrifying place, go somewhere else better than this torture chamber. Highly not recommended! Go some where else that treat your kids with care.

I'm a big baby and for some reason, dental was my least favorite place to go. ;) I have found Dr. Leo Townsend, DDS to be very professional and gentle! All of his staff are knowledgeable and friendly as well. The entire staff works as a team and are like family. I have my teeth cleaning and exams done regularly. From time to time, I am embarrassed to say they find those pesky little cavities!! My insurance covers most of it and I am out of pocket for a few dollars. Now, when they find something forming with their high tech gadgets, I do not wait. When you wait, and after time it becomes an emergency, that's when more work is needed. This office offers much more services than I've used. There's implant restorations, Invisalign invisible braces, pediatric dentistry, and more. The office is very serene and sterile. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Leo Townsend!

Dr. Townsend came over after my cleaning and we caught up real quick! He's such a professional and can be personal where he truly cares for his patients. He gave me options of what procedure I need done and the "what ifs" scenarios. I truly appreciate how honest he can be and doesn't sugarcoat anything.

I have been going to Laguna Springs Dental for about four years now. My hygienist, Heidi, has…read morealways been sweet and great. However, I will no longer be going to this dentist, and this decision is solely due to Dr. Sato. I feel like every time I get examined after a cleaning, there is always something he recommends that I need work on or will eventually need, although I have no concerns or pain with any of my teeth. When he suggests all these unnecessary treatments, it gives me anxiety and makes me question whether I should get the work done or not. I always receive a printout of the recommended services and how much they will cost. I understand that it is ultimately up to me whether I want to proceed with any treatment, but the constant reminders of the RECOMMENDED work makes me feel pressured, and I don't like that feeling. It also makes me question whether it's all about making money. Going to the dentist already gives me a lot of anxiety, and I'm sure that's the case for many people. At the end of the day, I don't want a doctor who makes me feel like there is always something wrong with my teeth. Throughout my years, I have seen a lot of doctors and none has ever made me feel pressure like Dr. Sato. Maybe it's his personality or how he approaches his patients. My goal in finding a good dentist has always been about finding a great dental hygienist, but this time around I feel like I need to move on and find another doctor who makes me feel more comfortable and at ease. Lately, whenever I get some sort of work done--like a crown, a root canal, or even a simple cleaning--my nerve seems to get triggered and causes pain elsewhere. Rule of thumb: if there is nothing wrong with your tooth and no pain, leave it alone.
