Love it here... Fixed my issue with wisdom tooth... In a matter of minutes. The very kind people. Yes visually from the outside I wouldn't of think of coming here but I gave them a try.
This is a great office! The Doctor is awesome, the assitants are very nice and makes us feel at home. I will recomend this office to all my family and friends. Very nice people ; )
The bottom line here is that this is a dental sweatshop fully equipped with cubicles and the scurrying of employees from one patient to the next with the only goal of up-selling and getting you back ASAP. This is a chain. The current dentist at this location is not the problem. He (Bowen) is actually pretty skilled. The management of this location is utterly and blatantly unprofessional. Anyone having to deal with Maddy (the office "manager") will know exactly what I am talking about. For instance, and there are many, once I had a bridge done. The temporary fell out and the dentin was exposed, if you have never experienced this -- this is the most painful feeling I've ever felt (and Ive had many and have a high tolerance for pain) - do you know what Maddy told me? "Oh, don't worry about it -- just take a Tylenol or better yet go to the pharmacy and get some temporary dental cement." Ultimately I did go back to get the bridge work completed and was also set up with a followup with the hygienist. She was gone before we met again - what did the office do? They kept canceling my appointment while they tried to get a replacement or a temp to fill the spot. I found this out through a colleague that was a patient. She, too, has since cut them off. So, yes, the turnover here is high. One day its the receptionist, the next its the hygienist. Do yourself a favor - skip the dental sweatshops and look for a private practice where you can get the one on one you deserve. Check with your insurance -- more and more are available today and this no longer considered a luxury. I do not expect this office (or chain for that matter) to be in business much longer. Full disclosure: I was a sucker, erm, patient for over three years. I stuck around because of the convenience (close to home) and because of the dentist and hygienist (i liked them both). But now I am reassessing all the work (amounting in thousands of dollars [not covered]) that I had done in the past and I'm considering therapy. Good luck.
