Atlantic Coast Dentistry Children

"My son had issues with his two front teeth and unfortunately had to have them removed. Dr Raab and his staff were so kind and helpful throughout the entire process! I really appreciate how they great they treated my son and how smooth they made the procedure!"

"My 2 year old son unfortunately suffered a fall and fractured his tooth. We called the dentist first thing in the morning and they got us in the same day! We found out the tooth couldn’t be saved and they would have to pull the tooth. Dr. Raab and his team did such an amazing job taking care of my little one (and me). Highly recommend this team of compassionate, hardworking and knowledgeable individuals. Thank you again!"

"I highly recommend this kids' dentist office! The staff is extremely friendly and efficient, and my children actually look forward to their visits. The appointments are always completed in a timely manner without sacrificing quality, and we are always pleasantly surprised at how smoothly things go. Overall, a fantastic experience!"

"Highly encourage all parents to read this review prior to visiting Dr. Mark Raab at Atlantic Coast Dentistry for Children. On Thursday, 9/16/21 I took my 6 year old son to this practice. He was experiencing severe tooth/gum pain along with some minor ear ache. I explained how he wasn’t sleeping well and that we needed an X-ray and a treatment plan. The medical staff, Marie, was extremely cold and off-putting. As with any new experience (especially the dentist), my son was very nervous. He expressed anxiety and fear - and wanted me to be with him during the x-Ray. She threatened my son saying “I’ll make mom leave and go sit in the waiting room” multiple times before asking me to step out. When I asked to stay with him for the X-ray I was told “No” and asked to wait outside. After not getting an X-Ray, the staff took my minor son back to the exam room where he was examined by Dr. Raab. Less than five minutes later Dr. Raab met me in the waiting room and told me the tooth needed to be extracted. That the alternative would be a root canal but in my sons anxious state, that was not a good option. Dr. Raab extracted a permanent six year molar from his mouth after his staff member Marie refused to allow me to calm my child to obtain a necessary diagnostic test to make an informed medical decision. He did not give me any type of informed consent and just basically guilted me into thinking the extraction was my only option. I should be able to trust medical advice from a doctor and his staff. The experience was nothing but bullying and medical negligence to get me out the door and collect a payment. When I got home with my son and he finally calmed down from the traumatic experience, he informed me that Dr. Raab put his hand over my son’s mouth and held him down. Almost to the point where he couldn’t breathe. He will be reported to the Board of Medical Examiners; his practice will be reported to the Better Business Bureau; and I’ve contacted a medical negligence attorney. Please do not bring your child(ren) to this dentist!!"

"The staff is very friendly and accommodating, I wish i could say the same thing about the dentist. My child is scared of doctors, especially dentists. You would think because you are a dentist specializing in pediatrics that you would have the patience of a saint. He is very nasty and arrogant. I stepped out of the room, he slammed the door behind me. I listened to make sure my child was ok and he was very rude, stating that he wants to go to lunch. After a minute or 2 the door opened and my child's face was very sad. When we got into the car I look at her and asked what is wrong. She bursted into tears and said that he put his hand over her mouth. A pediatric dentist should not make any child feel this scared and should not be putting his hands on her. When i returned to work and asked co workers about my experience a co worker stated that when she went to him at a similar age, he did the same thing to her. If you have a child that is scared i highly suggest you go elsewhere!!!!"
