Review: Thank you so much Dr. Simpson! My (10 yo) son had a tooth extraction today. He reacted badly to the nitrous/laughing gas. Instead of letting him relax and be calm, the nitrous triggered a panic attack. Dr. Simpson tried to talk him through it, but turned off the nitrous when he realized the talking wasn’t working. He mentioned possibly having to proceed under sedation if G couldn’t tolerate it in office. But Dr Simpson watched my boy, and saw him visibly calm with the cessation of nitrous. At the end of the procedure, he made sure his assistant made a note in G’s chart stating that the nitrous was not a good idea for him. Dr. Simpson was able to proceed with the extraction without the nitrous and kept my son calm the whole time. He has the calmest and most reassuring demeanor with the kids, and I was so glad he was our dentist today. Thank you so much!

Review: I was a patient of Dr. Simpson’s when I was a child and adored him. Now, my three children have him as their dentist. I would definitely recommend this dentist to anyone! He is great with children and is wonderful at his job! The caring and friendly staff make the appointments a breeze. I couldn’t imagine going to anyone else!

Review: Dr. Simpson and all of his staff are friendly and easy to work with. They are patient with kids and very good about explaining procedures/processes, future problems that may arise, and check up results to parents. Before any dental work is done, they’re upfront about what it involves and how much it costs; they even break the cost down for you in affordable amounts before any work is scheduled. Their office is clean and cheerful and my kids actually look forward to visiting for their check ups.

Review: Took 3 children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years in for a checkup. Wait time was excellent, as always. The staff are friendly. Dr Simpson is thorough but quick and stays calm even with my little ones who don’t like doctors. Highly recommended.
