Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Visited in June 2020. Would not recommend Dr. Kaufman/Children's Dental Hospital. 1) They warned me that because of COVID-19 restrictions, my son would only get a "basic cleaning." I thought this meant no power tools; actually, this meant no tools, period. The hygienist literally just used a toothbrush and toothpaste. No scalpel, nothing. Now we can't do a real cleaning for six months. 2) Dr. Kaufman spent about three seconds looking at his mouth before saying, "no cavities," and that he advised getting braces, but wouldn't say anything else except to see the orthodontist in a month. He declined to comment on the wisdom teeth, too, saying "people will give you different advice. Ask the orthodontist." 3) When I asked for an emailed copy of his x-rays so we could see another orthodontist, the receptionist (Jacob) tried to discourage us, and then charged us $25 to send an email. This is actually banned under HIPAA - 45 CFR 164.524(c)(4). Be careful, good luck

Don't go there! just WASTE your time. I had an appointment today and they refused to see my son because of the doctor has something emergency (should I believe it?). They should contact me before or right after I arrived the office if the doctor really has something emergency, and not after I filled up all demography, verify my insurance and signed consents..........................I will never ever go back again!!

I have never met such a horrible doctor. He spoke so rude. My daugher was very nervous, he did not even tried to speak to her. He thinks just to make money. I really dont recommend him. One more time he very unprofessionally attituded to me and my daugher.
