This office might be fine for some people. This is a multi-dentist practice. I had thought it might be good to have a dentist in a practice with others for purposes of emergencies and giving a wider range of days and times for appointments. But it doesn't work that way here. Your appointment is made with a hygienist and you see a dentist only very briefly for a checkup, and that dentist is whichever one is closest by or free at the moment. One result of this was that I saw a different dentist each time I came for a year-and-a-half, and each of the three had a slightly different idea about what work needed to be done and in what order. And none of this work had been recommended by the long-time dentist I had been going to previously. My other objection was that none of the dentists I saw here ever recommended any treatment other than a crown to solve a problem. I am now seeing a dentist who has a solo practice and who said none of the work I had been told I needed was necessary at the time. I think these are different philosophies of dentistry rather than dishonesty, but I'm sticking with the philosophy I prefer.
