I think this dentist could take a child psychology 101 course. Instead of using positive reinforcement, this doctor and some of the staff demonstrated a lack of encouragement before we even had stepped into the back area to work on my child. One of the assistants started off with "you better not be bad or you cannot get (the exit prize) that".
They had become indignant when I asked to come back with my child. We had to go back out in to the waiting room and let everyone else go ahead of us. I am not sure, but I think that was part of my punishment for asking to come back. I especially do not want my 5 year old to be alone someplace where I am not welcome with him.
It was my first time meeting this dentist. (We had another wonderful dentist before here. I had felt so lucky to have found this office.) Dr. Dane Hoang did not have any verbal greeting for me. My son was reluctant to sit down wihout me right by him. He had a spacer that had fallen out and needed to be replaced. She said "I will not replace this if it comes out again". She told us to not eat any more chewy or hard candies. Our family limits these confections, but she already had it pegged as our fault for the spacer coming loose.
Don't worry, we won't be back again!!
out of 5 stars
