First Impressions Reviews ( 90 )

  1. Changed my sons treatment plan without my knowledge, then canceled his appointment because they wouldn’t respect my wishes as a parent and do the procedure I requested. This place is a joke, Wausau Smiles next door has his extraction …

  2. We were not informed that it’s procedure to take children back without a parent and that’s not something I’m comfortable with. I was made to feel overprotective when I politely explained this to one of the hygienists… not the one assigned …

  3. My girls and I had a wonderful first time dental experience! The staff was awesome with both of them and really helped to calm their (and my) nerves! My oldest (4 year) daughter talked about Angela the whole way home! Highly recommend this location and the staff!

  4. Our son was scared before arriving and I thought the dental work would definitely not be able to be done but he went back and came out with his dental work completed.. they really are the pediatric professionals.

  5. My two older daughters went to First Impressions while they were growing up in the Rhinelander Office. They could not wait to go to the dentist. Extremely friendly staff, inviting atmosphere, and I always knew my children were getting the …

  6. This was the first dental experience for my daughters and I really don’t think I could be more pleased. From the ladies at the front desk that helped me juggle my girls while I filled in some forms to the kindness of the hygentists and …

  7. Both my kids have anxiety with dentist and doctor appointments. they have had a few different dentists so far. This has been their favorite and best experience they have ever had. Thanks for making my girls feel comfortable and safe!

  8. My youngest (3 year old boy) LOVES First Impressions, and so do I. They make my son feel like a big boy and make him feel proud and excited to go to the dentist. A brief history: …

  9. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I accidentally went to Wausau instead of Weston where I scheduled my appointment and they offered to see me in Wausau instead just so I didn’t have to run across town. They made my very apprehensive 3 …

  10. as always, a great experience with DrNed+associates. our 3yo had *five* cavities filled, in my lap+a bit of happy gas, and did absolutely wonderful! at our previous provider, it would have been recommended to sedate. after a few visits, he …

  11. I brought my 5 year old here for his first fillings. The waiting room is welcoming and fun which immediately put my son at ease. Mandy and Dr. Corey are an awesome team and helped my son through a LOT of dental work COMFORTABLY. We are staying here for his cleanings and all future dental needs!

  12. When we looked for a new pediatric dentist for our daughter after moving here, they where a great fit! Our daughter had anxiety issues from a bad experience with a dentist when she was younger they have always been great with her and she loves going there!

  13. Wonderful place! Being able to make an appt for all 4 of my kids at one time is amazing and my kids look forward to coming for their cleanings. The staff is always extremely helpful, professional, and efficient. Will continue to use First Impressions for many years to come!

  14. When my daughter got in the car, the first thing she asked was, “can we rate the dentist?” I knew what she meant. Lol. She loves how nice they are and especially had a great time with Faith! She loves going to the Wausau location, even …

  15. This place is probably good, but they do not allow parents to come back with their children for procedures which I find to be unacceptable. You may not perform a medical procedure on my child without me being present. Moving here from …

  16. First Impressions went above and beyond with accommodating us today. We figured our son needed to have some teeth pulled because of overcrowding. Originally, they told us they could take care of two bottom teeth, but we’d need to …

  17. First Impressions is great. My daughter was not excited about coming. However, Angela Moua and Dr. Joe did a great job with her. She is no longer afraid of going. They were very informative and always kept me in the loop on what was going on with her. Thanks again and see you all in 6 months!

  18. This place is a joke! They clearly have to many patients and not enough doctors. Every time my kids need dental work it’s pushed out almost 6 months. I asked if he could see someone outside his normal doctor and was denied. If a patient …

  19. My 4 year old fell the night before hitting her mouth which affected her teeth. I was in desperate need of some mom-reassurance from a trusted dentist. First Impressions got my 4 year old in to be seen within the hour of me calling. We saw …

  20. Cannot speak highly enough of this place! My kids have loved going here for years. (The slide helped encourage them when they were little. ) They’ve taken care of our usual dental needs, some pretty specialized medical needs, and our …

  21. My kids enjoy going to First Impressions. They have been going there since they first started going to the dentist. I took my son there on Tuesday he was nervous and Mandy T and Dr. Corey did a great job! They are great. Dr. Corey is honest and won’t do unnecessary treatment.

  22. Amazing staff and experience! My three year old was a little shy at first, but Mary at FID got down on my daughter’s level, spoke to her kindly, and made her feel at home. So much so that my toddler went back for her check-up all by …

  23. Had a dental Appointment for my son Dylan on 1-14-2020. We arrived were greeted by the receptionist right away. Were able to be checked in quickly, even with having new insurance for the new year. …

  24. My son is always anxious and apprehensive of new people and experiences. He has had 2 appointments with First Impressions and he went back with the hygienist without hesitation at his second appointment! So thankful for their gentle manner to make him (and me!) feel more comfortable.

  25. Bravo! Each and every visit has been a positive experience for my kids! When we leave they say, “Mom, I love going to the dentist!” It doesn’t get any better than that! The entire staff at First Impressions is phenomenal — they have …

  26. Amazing experience!! My daughter gets very nervous during her dental procedures. Our fantastic dental hygienist helped get her calm and make it through the whole procedure.

  27. Dr. Meghan and Betsy were amazing with my little girl. In her last office her exam didn’t go very well lots if tears. But this visit was a complete 180. She loved every minute of it and was a great little helper. I’m so excited for her …

  28. Dr. Joe and his assistant Haley were amazing! I also cannot forget Jennifer (financial) who has been so calm and respectful helping us with dental money concerns. My son is autistic, and had to have some dental work done due to an …

  29. My 3 year old daughter was nervous about the dentist. But when she walked in and saw the slide, she immediately was very excited. The staff was sweet to her and made her feel proud of doing well. It is a great place for Kids and she said “I like that place” and wanted to go back…Pretty good job guys!

  30. I’ve been taking my kids here since they were 6 months old. We love it! Great experience for the kids. They’re not afraid to go to the dentist. Dr. Ned is the best. Everyone is so patient with the kids and quick to check us in/get us back.

  31. The atmosphere and staff members of First Impressions has surpassed ALL of our expectations. Our son was so excited about the kid-friendly waiting room and the kind staff help ease his apprehension. A BIG special thank you to Wanda who was …

  32. Staff here understand early childhood development and strive to keep patients and their parents comfortable. Stephanie approached my 2 year old daughter in a non-threatening manner and displayed calm and compassionate energy. Staff allowed …

  33. I enjoy coming here for all of my children’s dental needs. The staff is phenomenal and take their time to explain different costs and procedures. I would recommend First Impressions to anyone looking for quality dental care.

  34. I’ve only experienced great things here. I had brought my middle son in a few years back for a dental emergency. He had busted his two front teeth in his bunk bed and it was horrific. They made him feel right at home. Safe. Secure. They …

  35. First Impression has always been good to my daughter. The staff are very kind and friendly. They know what they’re doing and explaining
    procedures when talking to kids. After my daughter appt, she would always come …

  36. My daughters look forward to going to the dentist. They love the atmosphere and the staff is great with the kids. The slide is pretty cool too! Update: COVID has closed the slide so I now have nothing to do while I wait for my daughter. Still recommend them, though!

  37. First Impressions did a great job making my 4 year old feel comfortable and confident during his first visit with them. He came out smiling and feeling accomplished that he had done this on his own. They also explained everything really …

  38. This was my 6 yr old daughters first visit to their office and she was pretty nervous. The entire staff was welcoming and you immediately got the sense that they love their jobs. They went above and beyond to make sure my daughter enjoyed …

  39. Did not like the way Stephanie talked to me in the lobby acting like she knows what goes on in my house , yelling at me in front of other people and talking down to me, she was Very Rude and unprofessional.

  40. This is a wonderful caring place with fantastic children dentists and hygienists and friendly receptionists! We had a bad experience at a different place near where we live and First Impression gave my son a great experience that made a …

  41. Our son LOVES Dr. Corey here, and all of the hygienists are great! I was a little concerned with letting my son go back alone, but when he expressed that he wanted me to go with, it wasn’t an issue with the hygienist. My son got to feel …

  42. Dr. Jeff and all of the girls are just the best! It is obvious to see that they all truly care about their patients and that comes across in the excellent care that is always received. Our daughter actually looks forward to going to the …

  43. Today was our sons first appointment and he did awesome thanks to the great staff at first impressions! They made sure our son was comfortable before taking him back and explained things in a way not only my husband and I could understand but our son too! Definitely a 5 star!!

  44. Experience was great, everyone was kind and the hygienist was especially gentle with treatment of my daughter. The only problem I had was we were informed that 1 parent may enter and not to bring additional children. So my husband and 2 …

  45. The staff at First Impressions are amazing! The entire experience helps ease the anxiety associated with going to the dentist! Absolutely recommend this place for all your pediatric dental needs!

  46. You all do an amazing job! Every staff member is very friendly and incredible with my children. They provide excellent care and explain thoroughly what needs to be done. My kids love going to the Dentist because of you all. Thank you!

  47. My son is 6yo. He has a horrible fear of dentists after another dentist drilled without numbing him and wouldn’t listen when he said it was painful.
    After switching to first impressions they took their time with my son, made …

  48. The staff was very friendly and made our three year old feel very comfortable. She had a blast and was sad to leave the dentist! She can’t wait to come back. Needless to say, we were very happy with the entire experience!

  49. My son was being difficult the morning of his appointment. He didn’t want to cooperate, but everyone was super friendly and accommodating. Thank you so much for being the professionals you are.

  50. So thankful for the staff here; they were very patient and understanding with my son who has autism and has difficulties with dental anxiety! Everyone was very nice and welcoming to us as new patients.

  51. Thank you first impressions! We have been customers with your dental services for two children for about 15 years. Katie at the desk today was amazing, very patient and helped me fill in all the electronic paperwork. Megan is a wonderful …

  52. My daughter’s first time here! We walked in and the first thing we seen walking in was the slide and a very friendly kid environment. Then the nurse came out and got us and took us back and showed us where she would be getting all her work …

  53. Claire never minds going to dentist. It was always traumatic for me so I am relieved she looks forward to it and isn’t scared. She has always had a positive outlook. Thank you!

  54. My daughter has severe anxiety when going to the dentist we’ve been to 10 different dentists in 6 years usually they have to put her to sleep just to clean her teeth but here they helped walk her through her anxiety kept her calm and they were able to clean her teeth with no problem they really are amazing with kids

  55. I’m disappointed. We waited over 2 months, and the office rescheduled our appointment- just to fail to disclose that they only accept one of our dental insurances. Had I not looked into why I was paying over $2k out of pocket for something that is fully covered by my insurance- I would have been SOL. Bad business. Do not recommend.

  56. Very happy with my daughters results after being in orthodontics for a year. And she is very happy with her new smile! First impressions always does a wonderful job with everything and everyone is always so nice.

  57. Such a great experience today! Everyone was so kind and made my baby girl feel so comfortable for her first ever dentist appointment. I’m so glad we found first impressions

  58. Normally our experience is 5* but my son had a baby tooth pulled. They numbed it but not enough. He tried saying it hurt a lot but couldn’t communicate with his mouth full. If your child has a procedure encourage hand signals. If hand goes …

  59. Lovely experience! Very nice office, staff was very informative, we got a goody bag with some hygiene items for our son and some toys! I would definitely recommend this pediatric dentist to others!

  60. i brought my 2 year old and 4 year old to be seen, they were extremely aggressive and harsh working with my children. Also wanted to charge for unnecessary work, which is even more disturbing because of how young my children are. Took them …

  61. My 4 year old daughter is petrified of any and all strangers, especially healthcare professionals. She was quiet going into the building but warmed up when she saw the play area in the waiting room. Was certain that she would melt down when they took her back for exam. They were amazing with her! She can’t wait to go back. I am stunned!

  62. If I could take away stars I would. I called to try and get my daughter an emergency appointment today and was unable to. In 2018, my mom had temporary custody of my daughter and I guess she scheduled an appointment and was unable to make …

  63. My three children don’t mind going to the dentist! such a warm environment and my younger child gets to tag along with her older brothers, it definitely helps calm her! the staff and hygienist are super nice!! The kid area helps too!

  64. We have been coming here since my son was 2… he’s 10 now! I have never felt so comfortable at an office! All the staff members I have ever had the pleasure of talking to have been absolutely wonderful!!! Can’t wait for our daughter to start coming here too!! Best fit for my family!

  65. After 3 years of braces we are finally there and she is ecstatic. Our child has had multiple different things needing to be done with her small mouth and lots of teeth. We have been super happy with every part of our journey especially the ease of coordination between Dental and Ortho.

  66. I can’t say enough about how pleased we have been with First Impressions! My kiddo turned 3 only five days ago so he got to try going back for his cleaning on his own. He did great! From the moment we walked in staff was warm and welcoming. …

  67. Great place!! My kids have been going here for years. Dr Maggie was awesome, has saved my family a lot of money. When my daughter was young like 4-5 yrs, another office wanted to put fillings in like 8 of her teeth. After getting a second …

  68. My oldest son (5) loves coming here. He is so happy to play and then go back on his own. Creating that independence is so awesome. The commutation between Dr and parents is also amazing. They take the time to explain things and what options …

  69. Staff are nice and for routine visits we have been happy with the care. At our recent visit I was told my daughter has cavities and needs dental work. The soonest they can get her in for the dental work I am told that she needs is 2.5 …
