Northern Michigan Pediatric Dentistry

We've been here 4 times, for cleanings/x-rays, and a filling. Office is lovely, as medical environments go. Hygeniests are GREAT w/kids -professional, competent, AND trained in balloon sculpting, lol. A big hit with kids. Dentists seem competent, but one was brusque and un-interested in talking with me or my child (it was during covid , so everyone was edgy- giving him the benefit of the doubt here, but still- brusque). The 2nd one was almost too friendly, in a slightly manic, speedy way that alarmed me and my child. He was in such a rush, and he AND the hygienist kept saying that other patients were waiting; they didn't have all day, when my child was clearly scared and trying to avoid physical contact. He was clearly not picking up on signs of distress from his patient. We've had mixed experiences with desk/phone staff. Cool balloon animals are not enough to keep us coming back, sorry.
