William J Worden, DDS

This place was a great dentistry, it was my second time going and taking my son of 4 years old. They said they take X-​rays at this age to see how the teeth are going. I think it is unnecessary for this, as long as his teeth are healthy. I refused the X-​ray and they said that I needed to look for care elsewhere. This is my child and I have the right to refuse radiation for a young growing child. They should’ve been fine with it. I can’t believe how they made me leave because of that. It’s unbelievable. They can’t say X-​rays are mandatory, because everyone always had the right to refuse medical advice. I am a nurse and they should’ve offered another option or just proceeded with care.

Great dentist and knows how to talk with kids about what is happening. His staff are always really nice. My kids have only ever gone to him and so they actually like going to the dentist. Many people have a fear of the dentist, but not my kids. They get a toy out of the toy box every time they go. Even has a few toys my 12 year old will like. He is on time always… usually you are in the room within 5 minutes of your appointment time, which is really important to me since I want my kids to miss as little school as possible.

Reception is always friendly and professional. We needed to cancel an appt and reschedule and there wasn’t any problems.
The location is easy to find and accessible.
Parking was full at the front but I’m not a good driver lol.
The office was very spacious, neat and clean.
The equipment both for children’s entertainment and for dental services were adequate and up to date. Very impressive. Had all sorts materials for kids.
The staff had very good bedside manners. Very patient and kid friendly. They are generous with praises when the child cooperates.
The front people are pretty attentive and accommodating to my questions.
Dr. Worden is very professional, kind, obviously highly educated. He took time to really explain what the case of my daughters teeth was and the needed treatment plan.
Like his staff, he also praises the kids a lot and keeps us parents at ease.
The flow of their operations in the clinic is systematic and smooth. My 4 year old daughter had to had two teeth cavities removed and filled. They were able to do everything in less than 30 mins. My daughter didn’t feel the anesthesia at all.
was also nervous about the gas but my daughter was awake 90% of the time…
To top it all, 6 hours after, I personally got a call from him checking up on how my daughter was doing… really felt the genuine care there!
Really really excellent, first class service. I would highly recommend Dr. Worden and his team.

I’ve been taking my kids to Dr Worden for about 9 years. I don’t have 1 complaint. He and his staff are awesome.

After receiving an initial consultation at another dentist for my 4 year old daughter that left me with more questions than answers and a feeling of uneasiness I sought out a 2^nd consultation with Dr. Worden.
The consultation went much better, answering all of my questions and fully explaining everything we needed to do, and not do. My daughter was very comfortable in the office and more importantly in the chair. When we left she quickly asked when we get to go back.
The staff was also very friendly and thoroughly explained next step to us.
Looking forward to our continued care with Dr. Worden.

I love how Dr. Worden took the time to educate me and my daughter. He also used children language, like «whistle» versus «drill». I was a little nervous having her get laughing gas, but she was awake and calm the whole time she had her filling. They also place a lidocaine cream on prior to injecting lidocaine so my daughter wouldn’t feel the pinch of the injection as much. The office is clean and they have kid activities in the waiting room. The only complaint I have is probably my own fault; I couldn’t figure out where to park the first time I went because the appropriate lot had no parking signs except for tenants. Now that I know, no complaints.

We have been searching for a great pediatric dentist who accepts our insurance plan and thought we’d found him in Dr. Worden. Our cleaning and xrays went well — my daughter loved the office! — until we found out our insurance did not actually cover the services. Rather than telling us «oh well, too bad for you», Dr. Worden’s team worked out a more than fair (surprisingly so!) solution and even offered to answer any questions we had as we searched for a pediatric dentist within our plan. So nice to be pleasantly surprised by a business!

This is a kids dentist and they always do a bang up job on my daughter. The waiting room is big and has two parts (one for really small kids and one that has a Nintendo Wii for the tweens). The dentist always explains everything to me and answers all my questions with patience. I really appreciate it.
One ‘minus’ star for parking. The street outside is packed and the parking lot behind the place serves many businesses so it’s always crowded and when you got a full size truck like me, you tend to notice this stuff.

Dr. Worden genuinely cares about his patients and the profession in general. My daughter had an emergency on the playground that resulted in 3 of her front teeth gerting pushed up into her gums. Because it was on a Saturday late in the afternoon, no dentist office was open. So I took her to urgent care and the doctor said that she would need to see a dentist first thing Monday (duh, you think?!).
My kids had a regular dentist, but not a pediatric dentist. I had been looking to switch them pver to a pediatric dentist. So I googled some and checked their reviews on Unilocal,and was impressed from Dr. Worden’s reviews. So I called him and left a voice message the next day (Sunday). His wife ended up calling me back shortly just to say that her husband (Dr. Worden) was busy playing with their kids and would call me back. I thought that was very considerate. He called back and told me to bring my daughter in first thing monday morning and he would see her. I took her monday and we were seen immediately. He referred us to an oral surgeon and within the next couple of days, my daughter had the 3 teeth extracted.
Dr. Worden is compassionate and caring (along with his staff). Extra kudo points is the fact he learned (and knows) a lot about sickle cell disease during his residency in children’s hospital. Always a plus for doctors who provide care for my kids.

This review is way overdue. I have to applaude Dr. Warden and his staff for giving exceptional customer service. My daughter was 17 when she had an accident and broke one of her front teeth in half. Not having a regular dentist, I frantically called her Orthodontist, whom immediately referred us to Dr. Wardens office. After leaving a voice message, they returned my call within half an hour and asked us to come in immediately. We made the 30 minute drive with the broken tooth in a ziplock bag. We filled out the normal paperwork and were taken in. Dr. Warden was so compassionate and understanding. We didnt know he was a Pediatric Dentist and he didnt have to see my daughter, but he felt sympathy either for my daughters situation or for the crazy plea of a message I left on their voucemail. He mentioned he had an age limit, but he wanted to help. He successfully bonded my 17 year olds tooth back and asked us to return in a couple of weeks for a follow up. My daughter and I are eternally grateful to him for taking his time to see her and for being so compassionate. He made her feel beautiful again. May God bless him!

I wanted to have a great experience and was really looking forward to have my sons teeth examined and any problems corrected. First off they stated that I would receive paperwork in the mail prior to our visit. This did not happen, first strike. When I called to inquire about the paper work they told me to come in 15 minutes early to fill it out. At that time they should have suggested parking in the back lot, because there is a flight of stairs in front and not stroller friendly. I got there 15 minutes prior to my appointment and filled out the paper work. Then proceeded to wait an hour before seeing the dentist. Anyone with a 18 month old knows this is too long to wait and expect them to be happy having someone poke around in their mouth. By time we got into the office he was fussy. Note he doesn’t get excited about stuffed turtles so your attempts were futile. After making a comment about the wait, the dentist stated he wouldn’t charge my insurance for a ten minute visit gee thanks. I am super bummed because this place is clean and close to my house.

I’ve been taking my kids here for 3 ½ years. Everything was fine. My 5 year old son starts Kindergarten this Fall and my kids are due back in September. Dr. Worden’s office REFUSED to schedule my children for an afternoon appointment (although they’re open til 5 M-​Th) because that’s «reserved for older kids.» I asked twice and told them there were no school holidays for more than 2 months after their cleaning was due. I think it’s ridiculous to insist I pull my children out of school twice a year to see a dentist because they’re not «old enough» to have their teeth cleaned after school in this man’s opinion. Not sure at what age he thinks school becomes important but we obviously disagree on this. I highly doubt he pulls HIS three elementary school kids out of school to get their teeth cleaned. Finding another dentist…

Dr. Worden has taken great care and time to get to know our family, and help our kids have the most positive experiences possible. He has offered his email address and always responds quickly. I am so happy to have found his office.

I had to take my 2 year old in for his first visit this past week. Unfortunately he had bumped his tooth and it looked grey; and he also had a cavity starting in one of his molars. Javana (our dental tech/​hygienist) was wonderful! She was able to clean his teeth AND get an x-​ray of his front tooth! She was very patient and so positive… I’m sure the promise of getting to pick a prize out of the treasure chest was a good motivator, too :-) Then we went back to the play room to wait for Dr. Worden. He examined my son’s teeth, explained possible treatments and also what he recommended we do right now. We ended up coming back the next day to have his cavity cleaned. Dr. W was able to get all the decay (it was just on the surface) and apply a filling… and it only took about 5 minutes (if that) and didn’t require any shots. I highly recommend Dr. Worden to anyone looking for an awesome pediatric dentist. The entire staff is very professional, friendly, helpful… I could go on and on. We love this place!

I agree with Tracy M. The entire staff is professional, educated, compassionate and friendly. Dr. Worden went to great lengths to make my son feel comfortable and to make both of us feel valued. The hygienist detailed her treatment and what we need to do at home. The front office researched my insurance to see if my son was due for xrays because I didn’t have the information from our previous dentist. This has been the best experience I have had in a Dr/​Dentist office!
My son feels the same. He was excited to use all of the stuff in his «goodie bag» and even slept with the stuffed turtle that Dr. Worden gave to him.

I found «Dr. Bill» through my insurance. He and his staff take the time to answer all questions and demonstrate the proper techniques for both kids and parents. He is the first dentist my son went to, and thanks to him and his friendly staff, my son looks forward to going to the dentist — okay, so my son wants to play with the toys, but as long as he is happy to go, I’m a happy mom. My only complaint is the open bays where the doctor sees patients. I understand it’s more efficient for the dentist, and it is very open and inviting; however, I prefer something a little more private for medical visits.

Highly recommend Dr. Worden! The office is clean, updated, and friendly. The staff is NOT grumpy (who knew that was possible?) rather enthusiastic, professional, and pleasant. The hygienist took time to explain everything and show my 3 yr old what the cleaning would entail. She talked to her throughout. Dr. Worden himself then spent 20 mins talking to me…20 minutes! Again, who knew that Dr.‘s actually still spend time with patients vs. treating us like cattle. Dr. Worden was personable, clearly educated, realistic, and an overall pleasure. Feels like we struck gold with a Dr. who has made a concerted effort to focus on customer service and relationships.
