Terrible experience there today. Went for my daughter's first dental visit and waited an hour past appointment time to even be called. She was excited, ready. We left in tears. She is 3 years old, and per policy, parents are not allowed in the back after 3!! This is an extremely shy, clingy child who has never done anything alone before. I tried to explain to the staff, but I was told "it's just policy". They tried to talk to Dr. Carr to make an exception, but came back to tell me "she's with a BABY" with a lot of emphasis on the word baby. Like my 3 year old is not a baby anymore and should be able to go by herself. Every child is different, and some are not used to strangers! My girl has never been in daycare, preschool, any sort of classes. All she knows is family. There was no way she would do it by herself. I was told, "She'll be okay. They usually cry for a few minutes and then calm down". I did not want my child's first dentist experience to be traumatizing, starting with her being taken away from me while crying! Never in my life did I think a 3 year old would be asked to face their first dental visit alone. I promptly left, and we will never return. Shame on this place for not even trying to make a positive first impression on a young child.

The wait is incredibly long. I arrived early for a 1 pm appointment and my child did not see a person until 1:45, I did not leave until 3 PM. The office is beautiful and high tech. But after stating I was not comfortale sedating my 3 year old. Carr stated there were numerous options but repeated only one option giving a 30 lb child intravenious drugs. After I stated that I know medical professionals personally who have stated about the risks, she essentially nicely booted me out of her practice and reccomend I go elsewhere. She stated that the reason my prior pediatric dentist was willing to fill the cavaties without IV sedation was because they were old school and are accustomed to old methods of dentistry.

I felt that she was unwilling to see my input as valid and with simple dismissed. She made far reaching assertions after one visit and did not provide customized care. As I attempted to explain the realities of my child's oral health from previous dentists and family history. And explain that I've seen my child give blood and go to multiple dental appointments without this issue, I could see Carr was more and more disinterested in retaining my child as a patient. Often parents are not allowed to go behind the scenes and even more parents don't question the methodologies and reasoning behind why a practitioner does what they do. To dramatically increase my child's risk for the convenience and skill level of the practitioner is hardheartedly unacceptable.
