I have taken my daughter to Dr. Saxe twice now and I am quite pleased with my experiences thus far. In fact this has been her only dentist since she is not even 2 yet.
The first time I went was just after my daughter turned 1, as recommended by my pediatrician. I asked friends if they had any recommendations and was referred to A Children's Dentist. I am glad I was given good advice too! I called to set up my first appointment and it was quite easy. The lady I spoke with was helpful and friendly.
When we arrived for the appointment, we were warmly greeted and promptly taken care of. My daughter enjoyed the waiting room as well, especially the birds up front. There is a lot of toys and games to play with and help get the kiddos relaxed and in a good mood before heading back.
We were called back within 5 minutes of the appointment time. The nurse/dental tech (not sure what her title was), was really friendly and good with my daughter. The nurse explained how children's dental practices are different from adult services and let me know how this appointment would go, as well as future appointments as my daughter gets older. I appreciated the info and I think it helped my daughter get used to everything in the exam room as well before the doctor came in.
Dr. Saxe arrived shortly afterwards and was so delightful. He explained how the exam would go and helped me get my daughter into the correct position to check her teeth. He was very calm and relaxing and my daughter really took to him. He did a great job. I wish my dentist was this friendly!
So fast forward to today, and it was even easier this time around. My daughter seemed more comfortable and relaxed. She ran in right to the birds while I checked her in. When we were called back, she went willingly and was happy. Her exam went smoothly and came back as an A+ for dental health. Yeah for no cavities!
The check out process is super easy as well. I also like how they let you make your next appointment right then and not have to worry about it for 6 months. The office staff that I have encountered have all been nice and friendly.
I truly enjoy this dentist office. I wish they did adult exams too!
