Ronald A Curran, DDS

This place is fantastic. I was a little hesitant to book my daughter’s first dentist appointment with Dr Curran’s office because of Kris’ review… however, Dr Cao is in a completely different office.
The same building, but a different office, down the hall.
I actually scheduled my daughter’s appointment with the other dentist in Dr. Curran’s office, Dr. Thorson «aka Dr. Liz.» The check-​in procedure was simple (filled out the forms online ahead of time — such a time saver), the receptionist was pleasant, and the dental assistants were great with my somewhat scared kiddo. Dr. Liz was incredible, referring to all of the dental tools as «princess wands» and whatnot.
A quick and painless trip to the dentist, and we’ll be back in 6 months.
I highly, highly recommend this office, although I’ve heard from co-​workers who use the same dentist that they can be a little slow sometimes (we only waited about 5 mins past our appointment time to be seen).
Also, old school PacMan and NBA video game machines. Love it!

I will not be returning to this office due to the rudeness of the new dentist Dr Cao. She is not patient at all with the children and even though she may be highly educated, she needs to work on her people skills. My daughter is 9 and full aware of whats going on and the dr kept repeating how horrible her tooth looked, how terrible the procedure was going to be and telling her it was either my fault for not bringing her back in time or her not brushing well enough. She must have repeated herself 10 times. Not to go in detail, I heard her being rude to the other children too. I have been to the office twice in the past 2 months and both times the office workers/​assistants were agitated with each other and didnt try to hide it. Different group of workers both times. I went to another dentist last week and was shocked at the difference. They explained that the tooth came out defective and made my daughter feel so much more relaxed and respected. I also got an appt within a week where this office is booked 6 weeks in advance.
