Fortunately, I guess, my interaction with the dentist is fairly limited because my oral health has been good. But I also have the history with him that if something was to happen, I feel very confident that he would know and understand the best options based on my history.

I was in pain and there was no empathy or sugestions about addressing the pain. I was told to contact another clinic as there was no issue with my teeth. It was a statement by the dentist not a consultation. I will not see him ever again.

I am a regular patient of Dr, Maschiopinto. Since she retired, I had to schedule with another dentist. Dr. Lindner seemed rushed and was in and out of the room like a flash. I don't think he read my chart or previous x-rays because he didn't say a word about a cavity that Is in one of my wisdom teeth. He was going to leave the room when I asked him about It which made him pause before exiting. Being a new patient (to him anyway), I would have thought he would have at least given my previous appointment a look to know what was going on with my dental concerns and/or followed up on that cavity as well as the removal of my wisdom teeth.

Again, just like the hygienist, it was as if our appointment was an annoyance in their day. He came in and made a few attempts at reaching into my son's mouth with his gloved hands (something he's never had done before, so of course he resisted), and then called it quits. When we go to the pediatrician, they take time to get to know the child, get them used to the new person, try to make a connection before just "doing things to them". It felt like the staff either just doesn't see kids his age often, or else that they really just didn't want to see us. I had been advised by my own dentist (at another Park Dental location) to bring my son in for a checkup over the last year, and finally made the appointment, and now feel stupid for doing so. Yes, he got to see the clinic and didn't have a traumatic experience, but I felt like a lot more could have been done to make it engaging for him. Really disappointed and will not be bringing my son back to this practice, at least until he is much, much older. We will be looking for a true pediatric dental clinic for his next visit.

I really appreciate Dr Lindner. He has a good nature and is very attentive during the visit. I gave him a good because sometimes it's just in and out, maybe due to schedule but seems like could do more talking on prevention or pushing for, hey, you would benefit from x because of xyz. Because he has made a suggestion but doesn't follow up with it or push for it with they why, I don't typically follow through with some things I probably should do.

Dr Lindner (sp?) has great dental skills and great bedside manner but feels like he's quick to diagnose and skips over explanations once he's diagnosed. I've had my first crown and first root canal in the last 12-18 mos. Once I was diagnosed, it seemed like his mind had moved on to the next patient. I had to ask what happens when I get a crown. I had to ask what happens when I get a root canal. I'm sure it seems like old hat to him but to those of us that have never had one, it creates anxious anticipation. He was good to answer questions but I shouldn't have to ask "what happens in a root canal." He was good to explain the day of the actual appt's, but getting as much info upfront (when diagnosed) would ease anticipation.

Dr. Linder is a kind person and we shared a pleasant greeting upon his arrival. When I told him that I thought I had a cavity because I have a very specific place on the top of one of my bottom teeth that is super sensitive to hot and cold temperatures, it felt like he "poo-pooed" my concerns and said there are no cavities and actually the pain I feel on top of my tooth is from the side, not the top. Then the hygienist laughed and reminded me of my gum decay. FYI: I've had gum decay for 10-15 years and if you check my records, you'll see that I have consistently had healthy gums for a long time now. I would rather that he asked questions to find out more than give me answers (he offered a crown) and dismissing my tooth pain.

Excellent, I was relieved by the caring of the Doctor and his assistant as I was in extreme pain. The procedure took place very smoothly and with high precision and almost no pain for me. As this was my first appoointment with this doctor that is why I rated my confidence 4 but now I am rating it 5
