I have been to the dental clinic 6 or 7 times over the past 10 years. I have always been treated courteously as well as professionally. My last 3 visits were for extractions and was the LEAST traumatic dental procedures I've ever experienced.

Good for kids. Bad if you're an adult.
This center will schedule you for an appointment. Change your appointment time when you make it. Then make you wait until they close to be seen for a second. It's a waste of time and effort to get the help needed here. The Doctors don't stay in there sections, joking and laughing when there's only one patient the whole clinic. You could be the only one there checked in @ 8am in the morning & I bet you still wouldn't get seen or checked out. Also, don't even bother making an appointment because they won't remember it.
The organization and professionalism

The doctor's and tech's have been very good to me..with the exception of the Supervisor over the health center out back behind the kid's clinic..Three time's now she has caused undue stress over appointment time's. Telling me to come in,then saying leave because I had been misinformed about my appointment..I HAVE NOT BEEN MISINFORMED..I think if I was black I would not have been treated in such a manner..I am being discriminated against because I am white....
