From my experience, Dr. Dixon has a very skilled staff of dentists and hygenists - they do a good job in the procedures they perform. Since he has a large staff, it's relatively easy to schedule an appointment 1-2 weeks out. In fact, we were very grateful when one of their dentists came in on a Saturday to treat my daughter's chipped tooth after she had a bad fall.
On the cost side, their procedures consistently exceeded what our insurance would cover. I won't hold that against them since we're willing to pay a little extra for good care. However, my daughter was never comfortable with them and developed a fear of the dentist. Part of what contributed her angst is their policy of not allowing parents to accompany their children for exams/procedures. We also heard from one parent that they didn't release their crying kid until he stopped crying. Definitely not good for those children 5 & under.
We were forced to look for another dentist when my 20-month son needed 4 pulpotomies. Since he was so young, they wanted to restrain him by strapping down in a papoose with novacaine and laughing gas. As a parent, I was not going to cultivate a lifelong hatred of dentists in my children. We have found a better dentist.
