Disappointing Experiences
Several reviewers had disappointing experiences at Bangor Children's Dentistry. Most appointments were not kept, with multiple failed attempts to schedule a consultation. Author Desiree Pond reports being left multiple voicemails without a response, and Author Parker Hovey's appointment was canceled just an hour before the scheduled time. Poor communication was also an issue, with some reviewers stating that the office didn't return their calls or didn't keep them informed about the status of their appointments.
Inadequate Care
Authors Heather H. and Northwoods Fred describe traumatic experiences with the dentistry, citing inadequate care and a lack of communication. Heather H. reports being left to explain a procedure to her child without her knowledge or permission, while Northwoods Fred claims that the office ignored repeated calls for help for a child in constant pain.
Unprofessional Behavior
Northwoods Fred also reports hearing the front office staff member use profanity over the phone, describing the behavior as unprofessional. Scott Walton notes that the doctor didn't even leave Augusta, causing him to wait for a long time, and that the staff seemed more interested in making money than providing good care.
Positive Experiences
However, not all reviews were negative. Several reviewers had positive experiences with the dentistry, praising the staff's kindness, comfort, and communication. Authors Hannah Gray, Andrianna Robillard, and Valerie Ketchem describe positive experiences, including feeling comfortable and supported by the staff. Dr. Wilkerson was particularly praised for his patient-centric approach.
