1 /5 Aja Beach: I have been taking my kids here since they opened in Yulee and we always had an excellent experience with all of the dental hygienists and Dr Bright. Well today I brought my youngest in for his first filling and we were told that Dr Bright no longer works there. Dr Dan came into the room and we instantly felt uncomfortable with how rushed he seemed. He was all business and did not offer any comfort to my 6 yr old, who was visibly nervous. Neither did the young inexperienced hygienist. While administering the novacaine needle, my son began to cry and Dr Dan immediately got frustrated and became very impatient. He looked at me and said “I’ll give him some time to calm down” and then walked out of the room, leaving me feeling scolded and my son more upset than before. He did not return for quite awhile (approx 15-20 mins). When he finally came back, he still seemed frustrated and barely said 2 words to my son and then began to explain to me that we would need to come back another day for IV sedation. A pediatric dentist should be kind, caring, and patient with children and this is not at all the experience we had with Dr Dan. We will be getting a second opinion and hopefully finding a pediatric dentist that is actually good with kids.
