Dental Care for Kids - Marion (IL)

1 /5 Leigh Thompson: Will not be returning there. They do nothing but make you feel bad and are extremely rude. I take taken my kids to the dentist since they were 2 for all their routine appointments. I was referred here by our dentist to examine a dark spot our dentist (who isnt a pediatric dentist) saw between our daughters teeth. It was the second time we had to have it examined and its been something they were keeping an eye on. The previous pediateic dentist who we had seen became out of network said it was the way her teeth have formed but to keep an eye on it. When we got there, they were shocked to hear I had ever taken my kids to the dentist as they said my daughters teeth were awful. They gave me looks and made comments about it the entire time. They quoted me some 1000+ in dental care. I cried on the way home not to mention my daughter who then became very self conscious about her teeth and was extremely upset. She was 6. But I took her because I dont want her to have pain or any issues. I switched to them full time thinking our current dentist was the problem and have continued to take her and my other 2 kids there even though its over an hour drive one way. Called this morning to cancel and reschedule my kids appointment and their front counter lady... was so incredibly rude and judgmental that I told her to keep her judgments and attitude and that would be taking our business elsewhere. Never again am I going to do any sort of buisness with them and highly suggest you dont either.

5 /5 Christopher Capps: We take both our kids here and we have been very impressed every time we go by their skill and professionalism in working with kids. The quality of their work is also excellent.

1 /5 James H: This place way overcharges. I was given an estimate of what I owed 2 months ago for a filling that was scheduled. The estimate was $174 remaining of the $196 I already paid. I was then told later that it would be over $230. Funny how the amount just went up for one filling. The tooth was bad and needed to be filled soon, but yet they scheduled her two months after her cleaning. She got sick and had to reschedule again, so they moved it another two month. Now they are telling us that she will have to have a crown. The reason it is so bad is because they schedule their patients too far out. They obviously do not know how to prioritize their patients or charge the right amounts to insurance. Avoid this place if you can and go elsewhere. Update: 02-17-2022 We switched to Marion Family Dentistry and OH-BOY am I glad we did. On the first visit, they had her tooth filled. The same tooth that Dental Care for Kids stated would have to be a crown and over $400 out-of-pocket for the procedure. The cost out-of-pocket at Marion Family Dentistry was only $107 for the whole procedure, which was only a filling. When I questioned the bill at Dental Care for Kids, I was threatened with a lawsuit for "harassments" and my family was shamed in their office. Marion Family Dentistry is amazing. Staff is amazing! They were so good with my daughter. I highly recommend them. This is an honest review and in no way is it any form of harassments. If Dental Care for Kids does not like their billing being questioned and if they do not like one star reviews, then treat your customers better. A refund is not going to make me change my review or take it down (like your office suggested) People deserve the truth and, so they can make an informed decision.

1 /5 Terri Bunch: It’s terrible you’re not helping children who have been waiting to get in who need help badly and their parents literally cannot afford the help they need. You guys should be ashamed

Dr. Braid and her staff are not only highly professional but also exceptionally competent and polite. From the moment you step into the office, youre greeted with warmth and professionalism that sets the tone for a positive experience.

They NEVER treat the kids as just another patient or a number; their professionalism, competence, and politeness, make Dental Care for Kids the go-to choice for pediatric dental care.
