I am blown away with how friendly and efficient Dr. Koneru and her staff were today with my 2 year old. They got her smiling and playing and quickly fixed two cavities in a short amount of time!

Dr. Koneru and her team consistently provide a fantastic experience! My son looks forward to his appointments. Dr. Koneru is highly aware of adapting to sensory concerns and has a way of allowing children to feel safe while encouraging cooperative behaviour and an overall a positive outcome. My son looks forward to his appointments, especially the novelty of watching his favourite tv show during his check-up and being able to pick a toy afterward.

The office did good work in terms of the dental procedure, minus the 2+ hour delay in our start time. Unfortunately they charge specialist rates, so even with two plans that should cover 100% of the benefits, the specialist rates exceeded our group health and dental plan maximums leaving us with a substantial fee to pay out of pocket. I guess one should always verify with their plan before booking any procedures so it's not such a shock when the bill comes in.
