“

I was scheduled for a dental cleaning but I was not informed that my first visit would only be a consultation and X-rays rather than the cleaning I had scheduled. I was very disappointed that this was not communicated to me in advance. Patients should be clearly informed about what to expect during their appointments so they can plan their time accordingly. Additionally, the wait time was very long, which made the visit even more frustrating. Overall, I was dissatisfied with the experience. The appointment did not feel productive or efficient, especially for patients who work and have limited time to take off for appointments. I hope the office can improve communication about appointment expectations and scheduling so patients are better informed and do not have to make additional trips unnecessarily.

The dentist was quick to pass judgement, cold,, abrupt, unhelpful and over priced. The next day I had to see my medical provider for antibiotics!! The younger lady working a the front desk was pleasant and kind, but overall very disappointing.
