Excellent service with a wonderful and caring staff! Both doctors are amazing and go above and beyond to make our kids feel comfortable and safe. Can’t recommend enough
Super disappointing experience. Several weeks ago, I called to schedule a 2nd opinion consult for my young child. We have seen another fantastic orthodontistry practice and just wanted to double check that the course of action would be similarly recommended by a peer in the field. My child is about to be 5. We need orthodontics for functionality of mouth and jaw. This is not for aesthetics. I won't go into more detail to protect my kids health, but alas, it is needed at an earlier age. I spoke with the office receptionist who said that while its not common practice to work with kiddos that young, that they would be make an exception. I took first available appointment and waited weeks. Now a week before the appointment, I am being informed that they won't see my kid because he's not 7. I understand policy, but how weird to say its ok and great and then wait weeks to change your mind. The reason was "we can't get x-rays on young kids." Strange considering, the other practice took fantastic X-rays and images and came up with a game plan. Are they working with inferior and outdated technology that doesn't make this possible? I can't seem to wrap my head around why one practice does this no issue and this practice can't. Anyway, I guess I am concerned about their attention to detail and going back on their word.
We absolutely love Dr. Fox and the amazing staff at this office! From the moment we walked in, they made my child feel so comfortable and at ease. The entire visit was smooth, stress-free, and even fun! It’s clear that they truly care about their patients, and we’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful pediatric dentist. Highly recommend!
By far the best dentist for kids. My toddler had high anxiety over dentist as previous experiance was the worst. We came to fox dentistry and they eased his fears, the only dentist who agreed that baby teeth shouldn't be pulled if it can be avoided. And my toddlers teeth were rotting out as they came in without any teeth enamel. They treated her with silver floride and later we're able to put caps on those teeth. Lasted her until she was 7 and her baby teeth started to fall out and in place grew healthy teeth. Every other dentist we saw before fox dentistry was eager to recomend pulling the teeth 😬 we have since moved to Florida and have not been able to find anything close to this outstanding service we received at this office IN PORTLAND. I already considered flying my kids back out once a year 😅🤣 but seriously the best experience, and my kids miss this office/staff and are back to being anxious at the locations I've taken them here in Florida.
I just finished our first appointment and there are not enough stars in the universe for this group. From the gal that works the front desk (she was lovely when making the appointment) to the hygienist (who was so patient) and dentist (who is knowledgeable and easy to talk to) it was a wonderful experience. My son has sensory issues and he left and said “best day ever, when do we get to go back?” He was tearful and sad on the way there because our last experience with a dentist didn’t go so well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
