Really nice experience here! The staff were lovely, so kind to my kids, and non judgmental as they tallied our cavities.. scheduling was easy, paperwork is all online, making it all very convenient.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Kara! My son was scheduled with her today for his procedure unfortunately he had to be sedated .

Her and the team there made us feel 100% comfortable! Real straight forward and quick honestly . It was my son's first ever procedure and he did awesome! Definitely recommend this pediatric office to anyone with kids! Thanks again for treating Mathias so kindly!!❤️

My child was seen a few weeks back and was told she has 3 cavities. When I called to schedule her appointment today 2/18 I was told 3/27 is the soonest and that was a cancellation or she would have to wait till MAY. That is almost 4-5 months out for some cavities and was offered nothing even when I stated I would have to take her elsewhere to have these filled I was only asked if I wanted to keep the 3/27 appt. I LOVE DR KARA, her front desk staff is not always the most professional nor empathetic, but DR KARA IS AWESOME.

Just disheartening when I KNOW I am going to have to take her elsewhere for treatment because there are no appointment times. Sad to say we might have to seek care elsewhere permanently because at this point, I wonder if there were an emergency, would I have to wait months as well to be treated as it seems that they have no availability for almost 3. 5 months for treatment.

I brought both my boys (2 and 4) to this dentist for the first time. Sarah was their hygienist and was very good with both of them. I felt comfortable and am very happy to keep coming here. They addressed my concerns in a helpful way. Everything was surprisingly easy. The boys both got a prize but they don't give toothbrushes/toothpaste/floss which I found unusual but not the end of the world.
