Caring For Kids & Parents

Dr. Ellen Alpano and her staff are amazing! They always do such a great job with my kids. I believe Sherry, one of the hygienists, deserves special mention—she is always so patient and calm with my autistic son. I truly enjoy visiting this dental office; the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming.

PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. TAKE YOUR CHILDREN SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the care my child received at Caring for Kids and Parents. Our experiences have raised significant concerns regarding the quality of service, communication, and overall care provided by Dr. Kari Cwiak and the staff. During our visits, we felt that our child was treated as just a number rather than an individual in need of care. Dr.

Cwiak's approach was impersonal; she often spoke about "the parents" without directly addressing us. For instance, after a recent appointment, she mentioned that my child had cavities without showing any signs of decay and pressured us into considering fillings and numbing options, which felt inappropriate given the lack of clear evidence. I requested copies of the x-rays and was refused them on numerous occasions. We also encountered significant communication issues between the billing department and the dental staff. During our initial visit, we requested a particular care plan including white crowns, but when we returned for the procedure, we were informed that stainless steel caps would be used instead. This disregard for our wishes left us feeling disrespected and frustrated.

Furthermore, we were informed just days before a scheduled procedure that the care plan had changed yet again, and we were faced with new uncertainties regarding the treatment. The lack of prior communication about these changes, alongside a sudden increase in billing, added to our disappointment. The cumulative effect of these experiences has led us to feel that Caring for Kids and Parents is not a suitable fit for children.

This office is phenomenal! They are so great with my kids and have so much patience! Without even asking they entertained my 2 toddlers while my 4 year old was being seen. They color, play with toys and when it’s all done they ALL got to choose a toy to leave with. Great care, great staff & great facility.

We just moved to the area from the Midwest and I was able to get my kids in quick. They were very kind, got us scheduled for more appointments easily and my kids actually WANT to go back. Great people, lovely environment, and a pleasure to be part of!
