TIGGER “DIAMOND” ACE

Don't not use this doctor unless you like being talked down to and treated like garbage. My 5yr old has baby bottle syndrome and some of his teeth are rotten and need surgery and he acted like I didn't care and was putting my own needs in front of my child when that was not the case and wouldn't even listen to a word I was trying to tell him about recent health issues within our family.

We have been visiting this office every 6 months for 18 years, three kids and two sets of braces! We drive for almost an hr to this office and am so thankful for the care and treatments we have received. My oldest wishes she could still go as an adult because of the trust and relationships she’s gained, my middle (ASD, and anxiety )has requested her cleanings on her birthday because she loves it and my youngest felt no pain with a cavity being taken care of and is way more excited about his braces than we ever thought he would be.

This place has gone above and beyond to make our trips to the dentist valued. So thankful 18 years ago another office didn’t want to deal with my oldest so we found this place! It was meant to be!

Dr. Matthew pate treated my 5 yr Old Autistic son horribly today. My little guy has always had a bad fear of the dentist. He is also non verbal so sounds or screams are how he communicates when he is upset or scared. Dr. Pate got up in the middle of the examination and said we would have to make another appointment so he could communicate with me. He said he couldn’t hear to talk with me about my child’s teeth.

He also said that he could no longer be part of my sons care because he is a danger to his staff. He is 5, he didn’t hurt anyone, he was just screaming because he was scared. The nurses are very impatient and rude with my son, as well as Dr. Pate. Children with Autism deserve the same treatment as any other child. As I know my son is not the only child to cry or scream at the dentist.

My young daughter had a very traumatic appointment with another dentist two weeks before her visit with Dr Pate, she was nervous and so was I to meet Dr. Pate. When he entered the room he was sweet, kind and caring to both of us. He was funny and connected with my daughter so she wasn't scared anymore. His staff was also very kind and compassionate as well.

Dr. Pate enjoys his job and you can definitely tell that he understands that dentist can be scary so he makes them feel so much better about being there. I would definitely recommend taking your children here.
