    Dr. Martin and Dr. Rick along with their staff are so great with my daughter and with us as parents. I knew they were great when my daugher came to me after i got home from work wanting to show me her tooth. When i asked she said Dr. Rick drew a whale on my tooth! It those little interactions that make these Dentist special. They answer our questions both our daughrers and ours and give us a detailed plan of what needs fixed and if there are different options that can be done in the treatment plan. I highly recommend them.

    If you want to be talked bad about and have people violate HIPPA take your children here. I was late, haven’t been before nonetheless they seen my child.(I was thankful for it but it wasn’t a necessity) if they would’ve rescheduled I would’ve been fine with that too; in fact I was expecting that. So I waited outside while my husband brought our child in to see about what’ll be happening. It was more than a couple of minutes so I called him and he said they’re going back. I go in to take a toy to my child, sit, and wait. One of the front office staff begin to complain about how we were late and how she doesn’t have time to be there all day she’s got family to go home to. I get it I’ve been there so I roll my eyes and continue to pull my phone out to distract myself then I hear them speaking negatively on another patients health condition and the answers a parent had put for medical conditions and allergies. As my husband and child come out I ask to speak with someone higher up or in charge and they bring out Kendra Martin. When I bring up the situation on the worker making a rude comment and also the violating HIPPA Kendra decided to explain to me I was late. Something I knew and doesn’t excuse her staff being rude. on the subject of the child she began telling me even more information about the child. Then repeatedly asked “Do you know their name though?” She needs to pay attention when completing her HIPPA training. I know I do. Complaint filed for Sharing identify information and inadvertent disclosure and new Dentist already found.

    After my daughter’s dentist office closed I went on the hunt for a new Pediatric office. I hit the jackpot. The office is so clean, well maintained and kid friendly. The staff were incredible. So helpful and friendly. Our hygienist was Brook and she was perfect. She made my 7 year old comfortable and kept her smiling. The dentist was quick to do the exam and added bonus points for a near Halloween appointment was that the office (including the dog) was dressed as Minions and Gru. Highly recommend bringing your family here!

    Both times I’ve been it’s always been a great experience! The staff is very nice! The office is very clean. Dr. Kendra and Dr. Jarrell are both excellent dentist. They are very good with their patients.

    My son Jackson had 5 teeth removed on Friday by Doctor Martin and the entire process was flawless. From start to finish they showed him the best care and we are so grateful for the whole team who cared for my son.
