I would not recommend this dental office. My dentist retired so I went looking for a new one. I 0riginally made an appointment to have my teethed cleaned. I arrived early for my appointment but waited an hour before being taken to the exam "room". Not really a room but open area where other patients were having work done on their teeth. When I got there I was told I needed xrays before they could examine me. Since I hadn't had xrays taken for a couple of years I agreed. I waited again for the dentist (one of four in the office) to examine me. I was then told I needed fillings and needed to make another appointment for consultation. I made the appointment and waited for 1/2 hour past the time to see the dentist for consultation. Then I went to another area where I signed papers and made yet another appointment for fillings and teeth cleaning. They didn't schedule my teeth cleaning at that time but I didn't know that. When I arrived for my appointment I was early. I still waited 1/2 hour past the appointment time to see the dentist. Two fillings were done but no teeth cleaning as it wasn't scheduled. I had been there for over two hours at this point and told them to forget it, that I would be going someplace else. I have spent about six hours at this office and still no teeth cleaning.
