Bedside Manner- Wait Time
Office: Excellent, clean, conveniently located, modern, great staff Doctor: Professional and punctual. Despite these "good qualities" she was more concerned with doing a fast job than a good job. Maybe she was off her game (her assistant was on vacation and she way flying solo), but she didn't give me enough novocaine (NIGHTMARE!), nor did she check to see if I was numb before drilling. Afterwards she told me to not eat anything until feeling returned because (and this is a direct quote) "I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself and think it's because of the lack of novocaine" Her ego/obsessions with being fast/ahead of schedule made me not trust her. Will not go back to have my second cavity filled.

Dr. Alem is always professional and has a pleasant attitude. She is and her staff are very thorough when examining your teeth. She has been my Dentist for over 20 years.

The is almost never waiting time and it is not hard to schedule an appointment. She seems to do good work and does not try to over-sell dental services.

I thought the visit was OKAY. The office is clean, nice ambiance, and I didn't have to wait long. The receptionist was great and explained to me my benefits very clearly. Dr. Alem did the cleaning herself instead of a hygeniest (not sure if it's b/c I'm a first time patient). The cleaning was fine except she hooked my lip 2x slightly. The polish though was way too quick (2 minutes max) and I don't think she got all the sides of my teeth. Lastly, the floss was also done haphazardly (she told me to make sure I floss behind the last tooth on each side, but didn't do so herself!) I appreciated her bedside manners, they have very new equipment, and also don't try to sell you expensive services/products like other dentists I've been to on my plan (Delta Dental PPO Value Plan)

I want to thank the doctor and clerk for the time she took care for my son during doctor working in my teeth.

The service provided was great! The staff was all very knowledgeable and friendly. The receptionist reviewed all of my insurance information with me before my appointment, which was helpful. I have already made my second appointment. Extras: The patient chair, was a massage chair so that was nice. However, the room did not have a TV.

Very nice, professional dentist in a quiet, well-run office. I hate going to the dentist but this was the easiest visit I've ever had. Highly recommended.

I received a call the day prior to the appointment asking me to arrive early to fill out paperwork which I did. When the receptionist arrived shortly after 8:00am (my scheduled appointment time) she asked if I received her message about arriving early. After telling her yes, and that I had completed the paperwork well before her arrival she stated that it would still take a while since she needed to call about my insurance before I could go in for my appointment. You tell me if this makes any sense. The check-up itself went fine. I feel confident in Dr Alem and would go back if my insurance were not running out in a few days. Before leaving the receptionist felt compelled to walk through my entire dental benefit program with me. After about ten minutes with only half of the benefit list completed I stopped her from reciting the policy. I did not feel it necessary to go over every single hypothetical dental scenario when I just came in for a teeth cleaning. And yes, I do want the receipt stapled to the bill. Thanks for asking. One final tip for Dr. Alem; you may want to reprimand your receptionist in private for being late instead of in front of me as a client. Thanks for the thorough cleaning!

She totally got all the plaque that was needed. Occasionally it was a little rough but overall great experience. I hadn't been to the dentist in awhile so I attribute that to the discomfort. Also, they have chairs that massage you while you're getting worked on. That right there is worth the visit.

I only had some wait time because I had to fill out paperwork as a new patient and I arrived early for my 8am appt. But otherwise, great dentist! Gave concrete tips and reasons for the recommendations.

1. Latayna, office mgr., is courteous, conscientious, and personable. Adds to the positive experience. 2. Dr. Alem, without prompting, readily explained everything. She communicates so well that she didn't have to repeat anything. It was very clear and understandable. Warm personality. Inspires confidence in her expertise and capability. 3. My husband will be going to her as a result of my positive recommendation.
