Perhaps one of the most uncomfortable dental appointments in 70+ years of dental visitations. For a 6 month cleaning. I had to wait a long time for my established late afternoon appointment. Ultimately, I had 5 sets of hands, not all at the same time, performing myriad procedures inside my mouth. The dentist left the office, she referred me to Southern Colorado Endodontics to evaluate one tooth that may have been compromised and in need for a root canal. I was evaluated, root canal was determined to not be necessary, and the evaluation was sent back to this dentist and perhaps to my periodontist. I waited two weeks for their response before calling and texting as how to proceed. CRICKETS! I eventually heard from the office manager who attempted to settle the confusion. I chose to resolve the lack of attention by seeking another dentist.
The Downtown Dentist is amazing! She and her staff go above and beyond to make sure their patients get high quality, trauma free treatment!
I have been coming to the same dental location on Willamette for 40 years when it was owned by Dr Wagle. Dr Rohleder the current owner and her staff is carrying on the same friendly tradition I am used to.
It’s a very welcoming office that I feel confidant in handling my dental needs - I highly recommend them!
I have trusted this place with my child’s oral health for the last two years. I have paid for their youth dental plan with trust that they would take care of their teeth. After being bullied every time about it how their teeth looked enamel wise but then being told “they were fine for now,” I finally had enough and took her to a dentist who listened to my concerns with their enamel. I was shocked to find out their enamel had some developmental problems that lead to cavities that could have been caught from the beginning if this place just did their job and cared about their teeth. Now out thousands of dollars with this place and to spend thousands more to fix my child’s teeth because of Downtown Dental. Don’t bother going here or their second location.
