I needed a new dentist downtown since it got too cumbersome to go to my usual dental office outside of the city. I picked City Dental due to its location to my work and its incredible reviews on both Yelp and Opencare. What I ended up getting was a dental practice that felt like it was just starting up.
The hygienist who did the cleaning was timid and clearly inexperienced (though very sweet). When she was finally done, it felt like I had been given a shower. After the cleaning, I asked her how long she's been working for and she said she just graduated a month ago.
Then Dr. Gill comes in, and he might actually be a good dentist (I only needed a check-up so I couldn't really tell his level of skill) but his attitude was kind of off-putting. He came in ending his statements with, "Cool?" and he even gave me props at one point. It kind of felt like Amy Poehler in that Mean Girls - "I'm not like a regular dentist, I'm a cool dentist."
Personally, I wouldn't buy into the stick around and hope they reach their full potential mentality, especially not with my health. Plenty of other dentists around.
