Nothing but GOOD to say

by blueridgegirl at Citysearch

We've been going to Dr. Haman for 3 years. All our experiences have been very good. My 5 year old hasn't had to have any fillings or invasive work done (hopefully will never need to!!). We're VERY happy w/ Dr. Haman and her staff.

stay away - far away.

It has the look of a great place. A+ for kid friendly design. But horrible dentist practice and cold staff personality.

Maybe they're okay if you just need a cleaning as we didn't have any problems unitl small fillings were needed. Not sure if Dr. Haman is doing the fillings or a technician (since they don't allow parents to come back to the rooms) but my kids had two botched fillings leading to abscessed teeth.

There are many more personal and quality dentists in town - recommend passing on Dr. Haman.

Excellent dentist

by agreed at Citysearch

We've been going to Dr. Haman for about 4 years. My son had a cavity filled there, and he's also had a cavity filled at Comfort Dental. Dr. Haman had him totally relaxed and watching TV during the procedure, when he cried throughout at Comfort Dental.

My kids get their cleanings twice per year at Dr. Haman's office, and neither one dreads going there. They do not make parents wait in the waiting room; in fact, I have gone in the procedure area with them every time, and I'm the only parent I've seen in there! It was never an issue, I simply walked back there with them and wasn't told otherwise. We'll continue going to Dr. Haman!

fabulous dentist- caring, kind and fun

by mathmatic at Citysearch

I have taken my kids to Dr. Michelle Haman for years and have never had a bad experience. Of course going to the dentist isn't always a pleasurable experience when you need to have work done but Dr Haman and her staff do a great job putting my kids at ease. She has laughing gas when needed for my kids, but usually her kind caring and fun ways are enough to put them at ease, She is fabulous. I think when some one has an issue it is more about their own guilt about neglecting their childrens teeth than about the dentist. When your child repeatidly has decay that is the parents fault! a dentist cannot create this or "spread" it- it is just neglect by the parent , so why blame the dentist? I 100% would recommend Dr Haman to anyone and everyone!

• Pros: best pediatric dentist in town,fun office, helpful staff
• Cons: none

Not a Dentist for Children or Adults

by chill04 at Citysearch

In defense to the statement presented by "mathmatic":

My husband and I brushed our daughters gums before she even had teeth. Dr. Michelle Haman exaggerated her cavity situation in the first diagnosis, and then did in fact drill into her tooth root which caused her entire mouth to suffer decay. Another dentist, Dr. Callahan, told us this. Our pediatrician, Dr. Gayle Gilroy, has also received horrific complaints and has since removed her from her recommendation list of pediatric dentists.

All children can be affected by cavities for more reasons than just "infrequent brushing." (Some lack enough saliva to protect their teeth from developing cavities, etc.)

What parent doesn't deal with guilt with any physical dilemma that their children may go through? I will be praying for you, one, that you would develop more compassion for others and two, that your children will never have to go through anything that may require you to post anything but positive results for Dr. Michelle Haman.

(You may also want to read what other people have posted on her before insulting those of us who are trying to stand up for our children, and to protect other children from immature and inhumane dental practices.)

So to answer your question of, "Why blame the dentist?" My answer can only be, "Because it was her fault."
