Brian L. Cullen, DMD

Don't go! My 2 1/2 year old had an appointment yesterday with Dr. Cullen of Pediatric Dentistry of Yuma. It was one of the worst days of my life. I was expecting a fun and easy first appointment to simply introduce my daughter to dentistry as easy and not scary. This appointment back fired on me. At one point 4 adults (including the dentist) were holding her down. The dentist had an “I’ll show you” mentality with a 2 year old and was determined to show her that crying and vomiting wouldn’t get her her way. She was terrified. I physically ripped her out of the chair and said “that is enough”. He then insulted us by saying “well my other two year olds don’t act this way”. We both left crying.

Nice staff, very polite. But the dentist was very rude, making the parents feel awkward and belittled by his unprofessional comments "Why would you let him use a sippy cup?!" When my child was barely 2. Other comments, not to mention he would stop checking his mouth to turn around and look at me, adding to the point he was making of being rude. Very uncomfortable.

I just called to see if they accepted my insurance and the lady who answer was very rude... I will not take my kids to an office with rude staff... Remember the first impression tells you a lot about the office....
