I took my daughter her to get a consultation. The only reason why I went here was because I could get a quick appointment and I was scared that my daughters's teeth would get worse. I did not like the dental office. When you go in there it has this nasty odor it smells so horrible in there, I Swear I thought I was going to faint. Dr Willens seemed liked he really did not care about my child and just wanted to make money. WE left and I never will use his service. His office has a bad odor and he just cares about money not the patients interests

2 Stars: Too busy for his patients (by Carol S.)

My three children (now ages 22, 19 and 11) went to Dr. Willens for many years. I trusted him for my son's orthodontics and my children's dental care. He is a children's dentist. It wasn't until I took my older children to an adult dentist that I found his care had been lacking. My daughter has had to have several root canals. I'm sure some of that is a result of her own health habits and genetic makeup, but Dr. Willens never warned us or counseled us about future problems. My biggest complaint is that he totally missed a serious defect in my son's upper palate. The adult dentist saw it right away and told us how to have it corrected. It was a simple procedure performed by a peridontist. Dr.Willens just ignored it. Dr. Willens said he had done all he could to straighten my son's teeth, but totally left out the fact that the defect was working against his expensive orthodonture! Dr. Willens has a very busy practise. He seems to do only what is necessary, treating only surface issues. He seems to enjoy making healthy teeth straight. If your child has extremely heathly teeth and just needs someone to clean them, then he is the dentist for you. I have taken my younger son away from his practise.

PROS: Very friendly staff, caters to children
CONS: Too many patients, doesn't take time to do a thorough job.

Dr. Willens is a very caring dentist. He is GREAT with children! The staff is friendly and really love the kids. His facility is cute and VERY clean! My son always WANTED to go to the dentist! They do pediatric dentistry and orthodontia. They DO NOT do any work that is not necessary! Parking is easy and free!

I have taken my children to Dr. Willens for almost 10 years - my kids are 4, 16 & 18. He is an excellent doctor who cares very much about the children as well as their parents and is a most honest and gentle man. He is most especially not money hungry -- and would never suggest any proceedure that a child did not need. In fact, I have found the that opposite is true. He always makes it a point to call personally to check up on patients when they have had major dental work done and is a delightful human being. He's a excellent dentist and someone you can trust!
