Playful waiting area stands out

Clean facility and organized visits

Residents frequently praise the office for cleanliness and a professional, well-run environment.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Long waits disrupt appointments

Some residents report waits far longer than expected before being seen.

While many reviews describe getting in and out quickly, a recurring negative theme is delays. Several residents report waiting well over an hour or experiencing extended time in the office even after check-in. A few reviews also describe limited communication about the delay or understaffing, which increased frustration during the wait.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Billing issues lead to trust concerns

Multiple residents raise concerns about charges, quotes, and follow-up billing.

Several reviews describe surprise pricing or billing that didn’t match an earlier quote, including residents saying they only learned of higher totals at the appointment. Other comments mention being sent bills for past services or dealing with account credits that weren’t clear until after the fact. One theme that shows up alongside this is dissatisfaction with how billing-related situations were handled, including concerns about being dismissed after disputes.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Sedation and policy disputes

Residents describe disagreements around sedation options and access during procedures.

Two negative reviews focus on sedation-related decisions, including situations where residents say they were not able to participate as expected. One review also describes being asked to reschedule or proceed with sedation after concerns during a prior visit. Another review says a request to retry laughing gas was refused and that the family was later dismissed, creating a strong negative experience.
