Pediatric Dentistry of Gaffney

I never write reviews but if this review saves someone the time, aggravation and headache of having the experience my family had, then it’s worth the time. If I could give 5 stars for the nurses, I would. They are very sweet and gentle. If I could give 0 stars for Dr. H. J Turner, it would still be too much. He was completely impatient and indifferent with my 4 year old and made my wife feel like an inadequate parent for my son having a cavity. My wife will be writing a review about the first visit. This review is about our follow up visit today. Dr. H. J. Turner offered no consolation whatsoever and lost patience after (quite literally) 30 seconds. I kid you not, 30 seconds! My son started to cry (he’s 4) and he was completely done. Turner said that he would have to be sedated and that would have to happen at another location at another time. After 30 seconds of beginning! He didn’t speak to my son at all, no warm up to the process, no consolation, just came in and started shoving things in his mouth and then gets upset because he started to cry. Now, this wasn’t a temper tantrum of a cry. He was very still, just had tears rolling. But clearly that was too much for a pediatric dentist to handle. I asked “So, you try for 30 seconds and that’s just it, you’re done!?” His response was that he’s done this long enough to know how this is going to go so, yeah.nWe are currently seeking another dentist to finish the work. Even if it costs twice as much, it’ll be worth it. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere first. Wish we would’ve.

They have done great with my son he's now 2 years old and they have been very patient with him. He's a very shy kid but they took their time and done awesome.
