Lucky I gave one star, this place is horrible, I have gone here for 11 years. He pulled a tooth of mine the pain lasted for months. He did multiple fillings that didn't stay in now I have to get those teeth removed, I have told him multiple times the fillings came out nothing was done. I missed one appointment in 11 years due to personal reasons and won't see me anymore, but I'd rather have a better dentist. My little sister got a root Canale done here and she's had pain ever since and it's been done like 11 years ago. I wouldn't advise going there.

Dr is the best you can ask for. I can be a difficult patient ( or so I've been told) these guys took care of me without any issue or discomfort !!

I was a patient here for a while, and after the last visit I realized that I needed to find a better dentist. Every filling he put in was unnecessarily huge(according to the dentist I have now). Now I have to live with those huge fillings for the rest of my life. On my last visit for a dry socket he gave me Novocaine and I waited in the chair for so long that my Novocaine wore off. He gave me another shot and I waited so long that the same thing happened. After the third shot he finally attempted to "fix" my dry socket, and that was the most painful dentist visit I've ever had. There were other visits where I questioned his methods, like the time I went in for what I thought was a filling and instead he said he was building up the tooth above the gum line. I've had pain and sensitivity ever since. After the last visit I knew it was time to find another dentist. I only wish I'd left long before I did.

I chose this facility because my four years old son was not a cooperative dental patient, and therefore we had to find a place that was more prepared to deal with uncooperative children. When I called this office with my concerns, they assured me of their special approach with fearful children. At the appointment, my son cried & resisted as soon as the dentist attempted to look in his mouth, and the dentist immediately gave up, with no attempt to try to work the problem. The dentist immediately stood up and said "that's it, i'm done". I would've been more understanding if he devoted some time with multiple attempts, but not only did he not even try, his response was unprofessional. They also still billed my insurance for the office visit. I supposed it's also worth noting that when I arrived, the receptionist was mildly rude and uninviting; I stood at their counter for a few minutes before she and another woman finished their personal conversation, only then did she finally acknowledge me.

Fillings, insanely huge. pain, astronomical. Job, never well done always in pain for weeks afterwards if not months. Every single one of my fillings, have a tag where it’s not finished correctly and scrapes me tongue or cheek.
