I'm looking for a new dentist for my kids, really not thrilled with the dentist we've been using. The only reason why I'm still there is because they have Sunday appointments and I work full time. Is there anyone local who's really good, takes Jersey Care and is open Sunday and/or evenings?

We used Dr. Brett for years. He is patient, gentle, and entertaining. He's in Lakewood Family Dental on River Avenue. We aren't on JerseyCare but I'm almost positive they take it. My kids were sad to leave but we switched insurance and they outgrew the practice. I also worked full time so I remember their hours were accommodating of my schedule.

Thanks, I used Lakewood Family Dental for a short time and we had a really bad experience. People told me it matters which dentist you use, but I don't think I can go back there for any dentist.

For the reasons you mentioned it would make most sense to use a good dentist at Chemed.

I didn't know they are open Sundays and evenings. Are all their dentists good, or do I have to do research to find out who to use?

Yes, open on Sunday and evening.
Most dentists there are good. Some of my kids like one dentist over another. I think it’s a personality thing.
Make some appointments (if you can) and meet the dentists to choose who you like.

Can you tell me why not? Do you have any other recommendations?
Thanks

There are so many dentists there. I don’t think it’s possible to have a bad experience with all of them! It’s a busy practice. People are satisfied and keep coming.

Same. We used them when my kids outgrew Dr. Brett.
Awful. It's a dental factory. Nobody has patience and it looks like the employees wish to be anywhere but at work. One hygienist or nurse or whatever idiot employee sharply rebuked dd that "a primary girl doesn't scream at the dentist anymore." Really?! She was 5.
Anyway, we left when Dr. Krug told us some wacky things he's seen on patients that came to him after Chemed. We couldn't leave them fast enough after that.

We are thrilled at Jackson Pediatrics - I don't know their secret but my kids LOVE going to the dentist and I barely hear a whimper while they're on that chair (toddlers and young kids who know how to cry.)
I don't know if they can accommodate your schedule - but it's worth a call.

They are not taking new patients now.

DH had an awful experience with one of their regular dentists.
