Avenue of the Arts Dental

This is my first visit, I arrived 5 minutes late for my appointment due to the heavy rain and traffic. If you’re driving, be mindful of the very limited street parking. The receptionist was very polite and helpful. I had to wait for another 10 minutes until they called me in. The nurse/dental technician was a very quite guy and you had to pay close attention to be able to hear his instructions. Very cool guy though! I got my teeth cleaned by the doctor and it was a quick and less painful process. Mind you, I’m not a big fan of dentist! Doctor showed me my x-ray result and some follow-up actions in order to get my teeth back in action. Will recommend this place to others.

Had a chipped tooth capped and was happy with the experience. About a month later started having pain in the same tooth. I returned to the dentist and was told I needed to do a better job of flossing. Three days later I was in severe pain and decided to see another dentist. I had an abscess and needed a root canal.

Dr. Mark is nice, and gentle, seems like a good dentist (hard for me to tell as a patient -- I've had different dentists give completely opposite advice on what care I need). Unfortunately he is let down by his staff (or lack thereof). A tip: when you walk in and nobody is at the desk, call the office number -- the hygienist's cell will ring. Yes, there is a part-time admin. assistant, but she will not return your calls. One time, she insisted she did call me, but used a wrong number, since I had no record of the calls. I guess I can't prove that was a lie. If you need something, like an appointment or a device made, be prepared to call every day, and don't take "we'll call you tomorrow" for an answer.
