Growing Smiles of Voorhees

I always had a good experience there until my son had his first cavity. My son suffers with autism and the Dr Dr Arreola had horrible bed side manners. I was questioning his treatment plan because he wanted to jump into doing a cap on a tooth socket based off my son having autism and not thinking he could sit still for a filling lol when I questioned his reasoning and said I would do a cap if necessary but wanted to avoid if possible he completely put me down as a parent and told me if I took better care of my kids teeth and practiced good hygiene my kids wouldn’t get cavaties lol and this would be the only one he gets. Not something you say to a parent ever. The way he talked down to me was not okay. Then he told me if he couldn’t handle the procedure and I wanted him put to sleep that they don’t do that for just 1 tooth and I’d have to send him home with the cavity and come back in 6 months to see if he got more cavaties and then if he had more then 1 they would put him to sleep lol what kind of Dr tells a mom to go home and let a cavity sit until they get more? Totally unprofessional. Then I got a second opinion at a new dentist and he did great they fixed his cavity and even told me if he wouldn’t tolerate it they would send him to be put to sleep! Something this Dr took away from me as an option. This guy has no business being a pediatric dentist and should go somewhere else. If you want a Dr that is actually good with kids with special needs go to Kaola dentist! They specialize with kids with disabilities something this guy doesn’t and told me getting fillings was always out of question because my autistic son won’t sit still lol. Don’t recommend him to anyone

This was my very first visit to Growing Smiles and as someone who is super nervous to go to the dentist, they made me feel very comfortable and did a great job! My hygienist Than did such a wonderful job cleaning my teeth along with my dentist Dr. Michael who took his time explaining my issues & helping me understand. I would definitely recommend this office!

They just did a 6 minutes cleaning to my 11 years old son. Another thing that they do is they split a single visit into 2 visits (cleaning and final check by the doctor) that in the normal basic is supposed to be all in one visit. They split into 2 visits just to charge the insurance twice with the excuse doctor is not available so for you still have to go twice.😐
