The dentist was amazing with my granddaughter- totally engaged and interactive. Great at getting her to converse and share information. Front desk is very casual, with little customer interaction and an open reception desk so you can hear all of their interactions. They clearly enjoy their coworkers and work environment.
PREJUDICE AGAINST AHCCCS-The front office staff is extremely cold rude and unwelcoming i made my kids appointment (threeboys) when i came in they said they booked other people in our spot. with no apology and no attempt to see them that day. HORRIBLE FRONT OFFICE STAFF
Best dentist great assistance would like to say thank you to Oscar for taking time and patience with x-rays with my son Dr John and staff are awesome and listen and care for patients and parents five stars
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Every Kid's Dentist! Dr. John McLin took such wonderful care of my daughter during her baby tooth treatment. He was incredibly gentle, patient, and kind, exactly what you want in a pediatric dentist. The environment was welcoming and the staff made us feel completely at ease. Highly recommend Dr. McLin and his team to any parent looking for top-notch pediatric dental care.
I’ve been to this office three times so far… the dentist are kind and knowledgeable, however the assistants can be questionable… the first time we came, they came off as awkward and rude. They commanded my kids during X-rays that my daughter felt so uncomfortable she was nearly about to throw up. the second time they were friendly but they didn’t interact with my kids, they just wanted to get their appointments over with… the third time for procedures, it felt like the assistant was fumbling, the doctor had to constantly remind her of the next step. I felt that the patient care was not 100% there that one mishap happened that led my son to get a whole cap instead of the simple one surface filling he originally had scheduled.
