Miranda Smith Bad with children, secretive, made to wait

I would not recommend this office to any parent for their children! The staff is not friendly and the dentist isn't either. My 4 year old was bought back into the room, finally, bout an hour after our appt. Time and was then put in the chair to end up waiting another 1 1/2 hours before anyone came in the room to begin his work (I asked the girl that bought us back if I would be able to stay she said to ask the dentist when she came in - which left me waiting an hour and a half to be told I would have to leave my child unattended with them), I made my appt far in advance and asked for a time where there would not be a long wait
because anyone who has a 4 year old knows their attention span is only so long! I was not allowed to stay in the room with my child or even wait outside of the room (which would have been acceptable). The staff rudely told me they don't need parents looking over their shoulder while they are doing work (Why not? This worries me)! When I told them I couldn't accept that they
told me that it would be my fault when my sons teeth "went bad" from not being fixed. I left and would never return! They tried to tell me that this was normal dental office policy but I have called several other dentists in the area and almost all (Except Cobbe) say that the parent has a choice whether or not to be in the room so long as the child is not being fully sedated. (Which he was not). I will be going elsewhere. I hope other parents will be careful with their children, you never know whats going on when you are not present!
