She Never Attended an Appointment, but Judged the Care

A False Accusation That Changed My Career

A review was made by a family member on behalf of a patient that said I was borderline racist when I refused to see her mother when she was 30 minutes late to her 30 minute appointment for routine follow up. I had just previously refilled…

Four Hours of Care—and Accused of Overcharging

When a Prize Policy Became a One-Star Review

4 reviews - 3 years ago Apparently the hygienists in this office reserve the right to parent your child. I am appalled by the way my 6 year old, ADHD child was treated today. He sat and cooperated for all of the appointment except the…

Zero Stars for Refusing Substandard Care

Wish I could rate zero-stars. Showed up for a teeth cleaning for my 4-year old and was REFUSED SERVICE because we said no x-rays! Staff was confrontational. Sat with Dr [redacted] who told me to find another practice because he won't clean…
