Kidskare PC

I had a previous bad experience and was scared to go to dentist. I needed a crown so I had to get my fears of dentist and come in. Dr Scheib did an amazing job. He was gentle and kept asking if I needed a break or If I was in pain. I was so happy that I was able to walk out with no pain.

I am currently looking for a new dentist after going to Kidskare for two years. In short, they have a turnover that is far too high as far as their dentists are concerned, and, in the interest of customer throughput, they x-​ray you twice a year. Having to deal with a new dentist each time I go is frustrating, and getting irradiated is beyond bad (recent studies have shown a direct correlation between facial x-​rays and brain cancer, Yikes!). What is worse is that they wanted to do the same for my kids. My suggestion — Go elsewhere!

So, being in a new city and being fairly fluent in technology, of course, I turned to the Internet to find myself a new dentist.
First of all, there are, like, slim to no reviews on dentists in the Las Cruces area. I persist and find some website that rates dentists. I pick one (Dr. Scott A. Baymiller DDS) and he’s on my insurance. However, his practice is called Kidscare PC.
I call, ask if they are accepting new patients, ask if they accept adult patients and then ask for an appointment with Dr. Baymiller. Suspiciously, she says they have an appointment at 1:30PM the following day.
I show up promptly at 1:05PM (to fill out the inevitable paperwork) and am ushered into this gigantic white room with white tile and ugly black plastic chairs. I approach the front desk and all she says is, «Are you here for a filling or a cleaning?» Because apparently that’s all they do there.
I fill out the paperwork and wait. Finally, at 2:04PM (34 minutes past my appointment time) I am shown back to get x-​rays. After the x-​rays it’s back to the waiting room. Finally, at 2:22PM I am shown to an examination room where my teeth are cleaned — this takes about 25 minutes. I wait another fifteen minutes for the doctor — who is not Dr. Baymiller but a Dr. Lopez.
Dr. Baymiller shows up, pokes around, comments on my 32 teeth, never having had a cavity, wisdom teeth still in and my healthy gums. This takes seven minutes tops.
HOLY CRAP, PEOPLE!
Almost two and a half hours to get my teeth cleaned and inspected. Don’t even get me started on the kids in the waiting room. I mean, at least install carpet to dampen the noise of the kids crying, moms yelling and general chaos.
That said, I will be looking around for another practice. Dr. Baymiller was fine but the practice was just a hot mess.
