Dr. Deyoung does not allow parents to go back with their kids after the first visit. My 3 year old, shy son did not do well with the 2nd visit when he had to have a crown and his dad could not go back with him. My husband let them tie him down so they could do the dental work. I called the office to ask why they wouldn t in such a circumstance with such a young, shy child let my husband go back to tell him to behave and everything would be alright.The said it was their policy. They gave me other pediatric dentist phone numbers to try. I called the other dentists and some let parents go back, but because of the driving distance, we chose to try Dr. Deyoung 1 more time. However, before he could even go back, they sent us a letter saying our children were no longer patients. I called the office; told them I thought they should consider letting parents console their children in special cases like my sons. They told me they no longer wanted my kids as patients. I cannot believe a dentist would treat kids like that and facilitate fear of dentists. As a teacher, I know that not all kids learn or react to things in the same ways. Meeting each child s individual needs is the most important thing we as adults can do. Obviously, Dr. Deyoung does not share this belief. Totally bad experience!
