My daughter is almost two and Dr Kara and her team made her first dentist experience quick and fun with sunglasses and singing. So happy that we have such a fantastic pediatric dentist practice in Broad Ripple!

Dr. Kara does a good job caring for teeth but she is not very personable and friendly with the parents. She speaks to patient and doesn’t speak or say hello to parent, she does not make me feel welcomed and comfortable when my child is being seen. Feel very rushed at every visit, we are finding a new dentist.

Dr. Kara does a wonderful job of caring for our kids and their teeth. Her staff is professional and caring, as well, and the office is well-run. Highly recommend!

Dr. Kara is a fine dentist and a lovely person. We left the practice because the practice did not fit our family’s needs financially (ie did not offer payment plans for expensive necessary health services). We also made the decision to leave because the practice is bursting at the seams and not in the good way. Dr. Kara seems overwhelmed and needs to hire another dentist.

This effected her ability to engage meaningfully with us when “discussing” the treatment plan for our son. The second opinion we received with another dentist came with a treatment plan that was never mentioned as an option with us at Czarkowski. That second opinion treatment plan was $500 dollars cheaper, made more sense for baby teeth and would be less painful for our son. Some constructive criticism: train the admin staff to be kinder and more attentive. At our last visit, the admin woman brushed me off when I asked about a payment plan. She said “she doesn’t do payment plans.

” Then immediately moved to the next patient. Pediatric dentist visits are difficult by nature. I shouldn’t be leaving feeling worse than when I walked in.
