I went there for a cleaning, and it was a very middle of the road experience for me. Overall, it was not a complete disaster, but I likely won't be going back.

Pros: very nice staff; clean and cheery decor; faultless teeth cleaning

Cons: several biggies.

1. The doctor gave me overall maybe 30 seconds of his time. The hygienist cleaned my teeth. This is the first time in my life, after 5-6 different doctors (I either moved, or insurance changed) that the doctor her or himself didn't clean my teeth. I think the hygienist did a fine job here, but there is a BIG benefit to having a doctor spend some quality time with the deep dark recesses of your mouth: they might spot something problematic that a hygienist might not be trained to catch. After having it the other way for so long, this is a deal breaker for me.

2. The wait was FOREVER. I was first seen, briefly, 30 minutes after I arrived. I got an x-ray 45 minutes after I arrived, and the cleaning started 15 minutes later. That's a full HOUR after I arrived! In my head, I justified it because I figured the doctor was being held up by an unplanned emergency. But. . .the doctor didn't even clean my teeth! WHAT WAS THE HOLDUP!?
