Barry J Farmer Inc

We have been to Dr. Farmer several times, and have been happy with the service until yesterday. We were late for an appointment due to traffic, as we live nearly an hour away. We called the office to inform them of the problem, and arrived 15 minutes late. They had chosen not to wait and sent in the next patient behind us, even though they knew we were on our way. We were given the option to wait and see if anyone else did not show up for an appointment that afternoon, or to reschedule the appointment for a month later. We had already waited over a month for this appointment, and my son was in a lot of pain because of this issue with his tooth that was to be fixed. We were told they have 40 minute time slots for patients, so there was still 25 minutes left of his allotted time that did not get used. When we were there in October, we waited over an hour in the lobby (with an appointment) to be seen, but they could not find a way to still get my son in yesterday to fix his tooth that has been hurting for over month. We asked if there was anything to do for him since he was in so much pain and couldn’t be seen, and the lady “forgot” to ask the doctor and never did come back with an answer. I was extremely disappointed in the lack of concern for the pain my son has been in and the lack of caring if he was seen yesterday or not. Thankfully I was able to find a dentist willing to see my son later this same afternoon who fixed his tooth and he is no longer hurting. We will not be returning to this place, as patient comfort seems to be the last thing the ladies in the reception area care about.

After seeing the Facebook post I feel like I should share my experience also!nnLast year my daughter was seen for her first appointment and was 3 years old. They held her down when all they needed to do was talk calmly to her about what they were doing to her. They also told us she needed 2 teeth pulled, saw a second opinion on it! Her teeth were fine and didn't need pulled.nnThe Facebook post was from another mom who's baby was burned on the lip by Dr farmer leaving a tool on his lip. Please do not take kids here

Visited Dr. Farmer for a second opinion on my daughter’s teeth and I’m so glad I did. He was thorough and explained everything. Made recommendations and detailed the reasons why he would or wouldn’t do specific things. The staff is very friendly and excellent with young children.

Horrible on setting appointments. I went with my niece and we had to wait in the waiting room for almost an hour. I set an appointment for my son and they set the appointment for a month away. I was 10 minutes late and they said I had to reschedule. I reschedule they set it for another month out and I show up early and they tell me my appointment was at 950 not 1pm. That's bull crap I had it written down. The appointment setter sucks.

Friendly staff. My kids enjoy playing in the games .
