  We were clients of Winning Smiles for many, many years before Dr Mike even bought these practices. I am horrified how families are treated now. I was reading through some of the reviews at the other location. I always thought it was weird if you had certain insurance you couldn’t be seen at certain locations. I left a message at this location yesterday and was told just now that they are booking far out and especially since we are from a different doctor at the Buffalo location. My son had Dr Mike during the pandemic at Children’s for extractions and many other times including my daughter. YET I am told at this location since we had Dr David a handful of times I can’t get my son seen by Dr Mike. My son needs to be seen aooner than March after losing a tooth yesterday and needing extractions! I then told this office I would be going elsewhere and I left reviews on Winning Smiles. I will never EVER recommend Winning Smiles to any family! I will take my business elsewhere!

  Do not go here. This has been a nightmare. We made an appointment before the summer to get our daughter in for her initial appointment. She wasn't able to get in until mid September. I had to reschedule because of work, which really upset me because I knew it was going to be a long time to get her back in. I contacted the office and spoke to a woman who seemed to know absolutely nothing. This was approximately 2 to 3 weeks prior to the appointment I realize I was gonna call back because this worker was clueless. After waiting on hold 4 different Times for an extensive period of time I left 4... 4 messages over the last two weeks without a returned call. This is absolutely ridiculous. Clearly we are not going there and highly suggest you don't either If they handle phone calls like this I could only imagine patient care.

  Absolutely do not recommend this Winning Smiles in East Amherst at all! It was my girls first dentist trip and I will be shocked if they trust another person near their mouth. We waited in the waiting room for 45 minutes with 4 year old twins. Our appointment was at noon, they didn’t call us back until 12:45. Thank goodness they had toys to keep them occupied for a bit. The dental hygienist was an absolute nightmare. She dropped things, was very disorganized, an absolute mess. Showed my girls that the toothbrush they use isn’t scary by putting it on their finger and then jammed it in their mouths (so disgusting and unprofessional!). Gagged my 4 year old when trying to get X-rays, and couldn’t figure out how the xray thing even worked. Didn’t even try to get X-rays with my other daughter. The dentist was very short, wouldn’t answer questions, and had a longer conversation about a tattoo than about my children’s teeth. It was an all around miserable experience. I will never go back.

  The two stars is not for Dr. Foley, it's for the remainder of the staff and their lack of perhaps training or knowledge. My two sons need treatment not covered by insurance. I inquired wirh four different employees to see if there is an option for an in house payment plan with a down-payment. No one was able to answer my question. Not a single employee. I was told it would be discussed at the appointment. No. Tell be beforehand because if I can't pay the thousands upon thousands out of pocket (and don't qualify for financing), I'm taking my kids out of there faster than you can say "Winning..." Because these practices are not helping my children win anything if I'm not given the details and options to pay for treatment over time in-house. Unprofessional front office staff. I requested their treatment plans so I could get a second opinion and was denied. Disrespectful.
