Overall negative impression; office hours very limited (closed mondays and fridays), found it difficult to get an appt for an emergency (filling fell out; in a lot of pain) until I pressed the issue and spoke with the supervisor. Orginially they told me I would have to wait TWO weeks! Gumline cavity treatment resulted in a my filing falling out in THREE weeks. Had to return for an emergency appt. Found out another dentist there had put in the wrong type of filling. Had the tooth drilled on again and filled. Was told if it fell out I would have no choice but to have the tooth capped. A year later, it fell out too! Needless to say, in my opinion, if the correct filling type had been used the first time I would not be in the position of having to have the tooth capped! (every time they drill more of your tooth is removed) Patients have virtually no privacy while being treated as there are no treatment rooms; just screens between chairs. Not bad if you are only having your teeth cleaned but when you are having more extensive dental work done it is distracting and stressful to not have more private accomodations. The staff was overall very friendly but seemed overworked with paperwork at the check-in/out counter.

I know this doctor: 1 year
