Dr. Archie could hardly be bothered with me.
I used to smoke cigarettes for a lot of years and had been a non-smoker for about 6 years when I came in to the office for a routine check up and cleaning. As a new patient they took x-rays of my teeth and told me I needed 4 fillings. Naturally, not being a trained professional myself, I trusted them. After an unpleasant experience with the hygienist for the first two fillings, I made a second appointment, requesting someone else. When I came for my 2nd appt. I had the same hygienist. I told her I didn't want her working on me and she said she'd go find someone else to do it. After waiting a half hour in the chair, I went to the front and told them I'd not be back. They didn't even seem bothered by that.
Later, after finding another dentist and getting new x-rays, I was informed that I didn't need another 2 fillings and that the two teeth they ground away at and put fillings in were simply still stained from the nicotine and could be bleached away. My new dentist assured me there was no way of mistaking that diagnosis from x-rays.
It sickens me to know they weakened two of my teeth for no reason.
About Front Desk: Naturally polite when you come in the door, unresponsive when there is a problem.

Hygiene rating:
About Hygienist: The hygienist was was not careful or meticulous about her work and left part of the filling sharp and it cut my gums until I could come in again and have it fixed.

Dr. Archie removed some old fillings and replaced them with new ones. The teeth near where he worked are now so tight I can barely floss. When I told of this problem, he stated that that was better than he usually does. He stated he usually made them too loose. He never offered to fix the problem.

I have been a patient of Dr. Archies for years! I have never had a bad experience. He has always been kind and reassuring through my many procedures. I came to Dr. Archie after being the victim of a violent crime. My oral bones were damaged and eventually caused my teeth to have to be removed due to severe bone loss. I was afraid and sad because I had to have a partial, but Dr. Archie "held my hand" so to speak during all my procedures. Now, I will have to have a full upper denture due to this assault many years ago and I wouldn't go to another dentist if you paid me. Thank you - Rosa St. Andre

I unfortunately never saw the actual dentist. Even though I asked if he was accepting new patients I was told "yes" and when I arrived (on time) I was informed that he only worked on "the more expensive" patients. I was introduced to an Asian dentist who was impersonal and over 30 minutes late getting to me. I went back to this office probably 2-3 times and had to wait over 30 minutes before I was seen.
About Hygienist: Front desk staff was defensive, abrupt and impatient. Will never go back and will never recommend!

Why I have been a patient of this guy for as long as I have? I don't know. I've always had problems with him, but, lately It's gotten worse.
I have a tooth that needs to be extracted and he has canceled TWO appointments with me. The first time, there was a note on the door when I showed up to the appointment saying the doctor was out of the office. I rescheduled the appointment, and that time the Doctor wasn't going to be in the office.
Poorly run AND awful service!
Literally left with a bad taste in my mouth.

Well, you win some...you lose some. This dentist isn't all that bad. I'm sure your opinion worsens when you don't want to pay your bill! Wouldn't it be nice if dentists didn't charge their patients at all??? Then, they would all get a 5-star rating!
