The dental stalls are open style so as soon as you walk in, bam ‐ they are right there. But, behind them is an amazing view of the city below. The receptionist was really friendly and patiently waited (& assisted) my mother fill all the required forms. After all the administrative process was out of the way, we waited only a short time before the dental assistant came out, walked my mother (patient) a short distance from the waiting area, and to the nearby station. I watched as he put his gloves on before conducting what seemed like a normal routine to him. He reviewed the patient file that was just turned in to the receptionist, and entered vitals in a computer in the workstation. Another dental assistant joined them shortly after. She introduced herself to my mother before asking a few questions then proceeded to conduct an evaluation of her teeth. She verbalized her findings to the dental assistant who was still working from the computer (I assume he was inputting the info into the system). Once the exam was done, the dental assistant discussed her findings with my mother. I was able to overhear most of the conversation from the waiting area. It was a bit hard to hear because of the music playing but, I got the general gist of the conversation. Needless to say, patient privacy wasn't a big consideration during the layout of the offices and dental chairs. After the exam and discussion, the dental assistant gathered some dental hygiene items, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, and gave my mother a small goodie bag. She waited another few minutes before the dentist came over accompanied by a third dental assistant (the other two where now assisting other patients). They both walked away seemingly to consult on another patient but came back shortly after. Now attending to my mother, the dentist reviewed her files then conducted his own evaluation. Overall the processes was thoroughly conducted, from the administrative intake to the dental evaluation. The only negative aspect is the open style, although it provides a great view, it can create some patient privacy issues.
