I was referred to Dr. Yanover's office by our family dentist as my child needed to have some dental work completed and our dentist felt that it was better to have a paediatric dentist look at my child's teeth. Upon coming to Dr. Yanover's office last year, we were greeted by the receptionists (who acknowledged our presence, even though she was on the phone). My child was anxious about having another dentist look at his teeth but Dr. Yanover and his staff made him feel comfortable with the visit. After being provided with the... read more
I am disappointed to read such a degrading review of Dr. Yanover. I have used other dentists in the past and one day was referred to Dr. Yanover for one of my children....He was both knowledgeable and compassionate. He has treated my children with and without sedation or anesthesia. In the three years that I have been bringing my children to his office I feel that he and his staff have always taken the time to explain what is going on and what needs to be done. We had our most recent visit today and on the 5th of February. T... read more
I have absolutely no use for this doctor, he has no clue what the word gental means. I should have known from my first visit there that this was not a place I wanted to take my children, I should have listened to my inner self. The receptionist were rude and disrespectful. The doctor was a complete erangant smartass, I was told to leave the room while the procedure was taking place. They called me in after he was done one tooth and told me she was too anxious and then proceed to ask me if I wanted to see what see how she fre... read more
Business response:
After careful review of options for anxiety management, including sedation and general anaesthesia, mom elected treatment under sedation. Full informed consent was obtained, including the use of passive restraint to allow use of blood pressure cuff and pulse oximeter as well as requiring parents sitting in the waiting room during sedation. After completing one restoration, I felt sedation was not providing enough relaxation, as the patient moved her head forcefully when she heard the suction and drill sound, even though her ... read more
his is little late. but last November had alto of work done on his teeth by Dr.yanover and he did did a wonderful job and to this day my sons teeth are great. thankyou to him and his wonderful staff
Couldn't be happier. My 3 year old was new to dentist and was referred to Dr. Yanover to do a couple fillings. The staff was professional and kind to her. The setup is perfect for children to keep them calm and happy through their visits. They handled me and her with kindness. As this was a new experience and we were both nervous. Through the procedure he was kind and soothing to my daughter and handled her situation calmly and professionally. We are furtunate to have a Dr. Of this caliber in this area to handle our children... read more
I would not recommend this dentist to anyone. His bed side manner is awful and makes even adults feel uneasy. It is no wonder he has to put so many children under sedation or to sleep. I would never recommend this dentist to anyone ever. I have had a terrible experience with this doctor.
Business response:
I am sorry to hear of your recent experience. We provide a number of alternative behaviour management options to families which include nitrous oxide, moderate sedation and general anaesthesia and encourage families to make the decision they feel most fits their needs. More families are now choosing sedation and general anaesthesia with our office and with many other pediatric dentists as this has shown the highest level of satisfaction by parents after treatment is completed.
I would not recommend this doctor. I was told my daughter had 4 cavities and that they needed to be filled. He did not take any time with her or put her at ease. He just kept saying she is a nervous child which couldn't be farther from the truth and he would not even know considering he has never even spoken to her. She screamed through the entire procedure even after the freezing. Later that week after her appointment I received the news from her school who had done a dental screening on her a week prior that the results we... read more
Business response:
We have contaced mom to review her issues. X rays were taken that showed clearly there were four cavities. The health unit provided a screening visual exam by a dental assistant that was not able to detect these cavities between the teeth. The form that is sent home NEVER states there are no cavities and encourages families to seek routine dental care. We offered to forward the X rays to her or the health unit to assist in providing care elsewhere if she wished. She refused and we respect her decision.
dr yanover was great with my little one. he did an amazing job. And my child smiles more eats more and is just a much happier child now that she has new teeth. thank you so much for helping my child
When we took our son for his first dental visit, our family dentist referred us to Dr. Yanover, as our son needed extensive dental work done. Everyone under the sun started giving us advice on what to do, who to use, and how to save money. We were even told not to use Dr. Yanover, but we trust our family dentist, so we took his advice and went to the diagnostic appointment. With this visit, we chose to work with Dr. Yanover for our son's 7 cavities, 2 crowns and 2 root canals. He and his staff were friendly, efficient, knowl... read more
