Pediatric Dental Associates, PC

I am so very happy that we got a second opinion with Dr. Hobbs. We were referred to a pediatric dentist and the first dentist we went to was not a great experience and I did not love ANY of the treatment plans. Meeting with Dr.

Hobbs and his team was 1000% better and I could not have felt more comfortable! My son did great, left happy, and is excited to go back for the dental work he needs, which makes this mom feel better that he is not scared. I was also so much happier with the treatment plan provided and so thankful for Dr. Hobbs and taking the time to explain to me what needed to be done and the best course of action! We are going to split things up into a few visits and all parties were involved in making the best plan for my child, rather than me just being told that my only option was thousands of dollars…. Overall I can’t even express how much happier and comfortable both myself and my son were here!

I brought my 2 year old in for an initial check-up. I was slightly nervous about how it would turn out considering they usually don’t have the parents sit in the operating room with their children. However, I did not have to leave my child since it was the initial appointment and she is still small. She just sat on my lap while they checked her mouth. Dr. Hobbs has so many fun things up his sleeves to intrigue the little ones.

My child enjoyed the experience. ☺️ Dr. Hobbs was also very thorough in answering my questions and made sure to touch on every aspect of my child’s oral health. It was a very helpful visit.

Made an appointment for our son. It was 2 months out. They sent all the paperwork for insurance. Release forms and etc. They also sent an APPOINTMENT REMINDER. Which was dated the wrong date. They also sent a text message with the correct date.

We called in asking why our appointment was on a Saturday. They are not open on Saturdays. Dana was the representative we were speaking with, and she informed us his appointment was on the 7th and not the 17th. We told her about the dilemma, and that someone on their end made a mistake, and sent us the wrong date. She said we confirmed the appointment by pressing “C” on text messages. (Which isn’t true) and that we would have to pay $100 to reschedule, we called again and explained to her this was a simple mistake made on their end, and we shouldn’t have to be held responsible nor penalized for this. She simply said again that we confirmed the text message.

(We did not) and that she would talk to the Dentist and see if they would waive the fee. She called back shortly saying unfortunately even though we made a mistake by sending the wrong date. You confirmed the appointment by texting C for confirm. (We did not) I’m including photos of evidence. I’m sure they are a great dentist, but as far as Dana and admitting to a mistake on their end I feel that this is unacceptable and we shouldn’t be penalized for someone’s else’s mistakes. Feeling uneasy that they weren’t willing to make this right.

It is really odd why this dental practice is so hell-bent on ensuring that no parent comes back to sit with their minor children while they clean their teeth. They have no care or compassion for children with sensory issues or those on the autism spectrum either. Dr. Hobbs just says "they need to grow up". I am not sure if their angle is to bill for stuff they don't do and ensuring that parents don't see it to claim otherwise or what.

Would you drop your child off a pediatrician and just wait in the waiting room while the doctor does whatever to your child? Then why should it be allowed in a dental setting? Especially since no explanation is given as to what their reasoning behind this weird policy is. Needless to say, there are several other dentists in town who have zero issues with a parent being in the room with their 5 year old while their teeth are being cleaned. I would steer clear of this place and it's rude staff.
