I had an appointment on 4/27/21. Upon my arrival, there was a line out of the door as the receptionist took patient temperatures and conducted patient check-ins. When it was my turn to be checked in, I wasn't greeted. I had a thermometer pointed in my face by the receptionist with glasses and very loudly was told, "um, there was a problem on your account with your payment. Please step out of line, and someone will help you." Pretty annoyed that my personal business was unprofessionally expressed to the entire lobby with about 8 to 9 patients, I stepped to the side as requested. I

People there are really nice, nothing wrong with the building or cleanliness. However, they rush a lot through each appointment. I understand there’s a lot of people to see but I don’t think the staff or Dr. Dempsey spends the time needed to understand exactly what YOU want as a client. I came here for Invisalign and told them what I wanted to change about my smile through my course of treatment and when I was unhappy with my results and told them nothing was done in my next app.

My daughter was referred here for a consultation. We had a few recommendations to this place. When I first called to make an appointment, the woman I spoke to wasn't very friendly. She asked that I provided all my insurance information and social security number. I told her I didn't have it on me. She said I can just call back or fill out a form online to provide the information or call my dentist and have them forward my information to themS I thought it was weird since it was a free consultation. I told my dentist's office and they said that's weird that they wanted my dentist

This office has the worst staff ever. The office manager Belen is an idiot and so unhelpful. I have no idea how she was put in charge of managing an office. After speaking with her I now understand why this office has the worst customer service. The orthodontist is great but she should revamp her staff most of them are rude and unhelpful.

Very attentive to patient concern, gentle and kind with my three year old, validated my concerns and overall provided great service. I wasn't a big fan of the receptionist. She was abrasive but the doctor made up for the initial poor manners.

I brought my son in for a consultation for braces last week. The staff was friendly but a little overwhelmed (they were short staffed). Very welcoming waiting room, it was decorated for Halloween and they also had a decorated pumpkin contest going on. My kids enjoyed voting for their favourite one. The doctor explained everything throughly and answered all our questions. But the best part was she gave us an exact dollar figure for my son's treatment which most doctors do not. She told us what was included, timeline, and gave us a payment plan option as well. This was really important
