Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Completely unprofessional
I walked back into his office with him talking to his assistance about how he can’t believe the stories that he hears from parents. Talking complete trash about me the second I walked out of the room. Would absolutely not recommend if you have mom guilt of any kind! Insensitive and downright rude !

Dr. Ladue is an extreme believer that Stainless Steel crowns are necessary when treating cavities on the small molar. He put crowns on most of my child's molars. At the latest cleaning he told me that my child would need a crown on one of his last remaining untouched molars. His hygienist couldn't even tell if it was a cavity and he's claiming it needed a crown. After a second opinion from the President of the WM Dental Society, he sent us home with no filling and definitely no crown.

Dr. Ladue was able to get my son in for a same day emergency. and he has seen him every 2 weeks for the past 2.5 months. His whole staff is very caring and courteous. I'm so glad he was able to take in a new patient without hesitation and is taking on all 3 of my boys.
