C.,
I adore our dentist... she's a family practice dentist and all three of my kids love her. She is Dr. Carlene Marcus. Her office is off Sunset Hills, on Michael Faraday. This is east of Plaza America (where Champps and Michaels are), and across from SkateQuest. Her number is ###-###-####.
She helped us before we were even patients, when my son (then 2 1/2 yrs) banged his mouth on a bed railing and jammed his tooth up into him gum. Her emergency # on the ans. machine at her office was her home number. I called her at 7:30 a.m. on a Sunday, having never met her, and she calmed me down, asked me questions, and said she'd meet me at her office in 45 mins!
I trust her completely! My son is 9 now. Dr. Marcus said he'll need braces (not related to the accident when he was little), but she won't even recommend an orthodontist until he's older. She believes many orthos are putting braces on kids too early. Many times, because the kids are still growing, they need to get braces a second time because the teeth shift. She doesn't want her patients to go through that pain and cost, when there is no reason not to wait.
Angie is the receptionist. She's wonderful too! Always greets us by name and knows us well enough to joke with us.
By the way, Dr. Marcus is my and my husband's dentist too. One stop shopping! In fact, the three kids and I are all going in for check ups in a couple of weeks. It's nice to get it all done in one appointment.
Good luck!
