This office is NOT FOLLOWING COVID-19 guidelines. Do not go here.
I recently visited twice over a couple weeks (my appointment was split up). On my visit yesterday, the entire office came to sing happy birthday to my hygienist. Harmless enough...except Dr. Sobczak was there - with NO MASK ON - singing. SINGING. And guess who else didn't have a mask on? Me - because I was in the chair for my cleaning. So that's cool--nothing like someone singing unmasked at you in the middle of a pandemic. So, needless to say, I'll never be returning to this dentist and I'd advise others against it as well.
If that weren't bad enough, this isn't even the only time I saw staff without masks during my mere 2 hours in this office. The front desk employee had her mask off and almost came to talk to me with it off when I arrived to check in. Additionally, Dr. Sobczak removed his mask to greet me. Why? No clue.
If the Doctor whose name is on the building is acting this way and allowing his staff to act this way in front of patients, I don't even want to know what else is going on behind the scenes.
Steer clear.
**Update:
As you see from the Owner's reply (Dr. Wencel), they didn't address (let alone apologize) for the disregard for patient health that Dr. Sobczak showed when he sang, unmasked and in my direction, during my cleaning (when I too was unmasked).
Instead, she defended her staff and partner being unmasked inside their office and belittled me by pointing out things I "may not have noticed" (which I did). Face shields are not replacements for masks (according to the CDC), and NO MASK being worn, not to mention around an unmasked patient, is 100% unacceptable.
I think their reply speaks for itself. If you want to be in a place that doesn't take your health and safety seriously and where the owners are defensive when presented with issues at their practice, then this is the place for you.
