Really Great place to take your children for things such as braces. the doctors are super friendly, kind and curtious. The nurses are very friendly, kind, patient , and extremely helpful. I am very satisfied as a parent of teovwho go here routinely forthwir braces adjustments, my kids find the environment and the nurses here very gentle, friendly, and nurturing and that means a lot to me because my kids both used to hate those dentist visits because of fear and discomfort, but my kids arevery satiated and even excited to go here because of the consistency of the warm snd settle welcoming.

Also the quality of the dental work here is always amazing. I definitely would recommend anyone here if you are looking dor great work and talented professional staff. 🙌🏾💯👏🏾💯🏆💯💯

Forever loyal and continuously grateful to Dr. Caldwell and team. A year ago, my 1 yr had an accident involving the sidewalk and his teeth. I reached out to our current ped dentist who didn't respond for hours, then provided an appointment late the day but I also contacted Dr. Caldwell, who saw us immediately.

Now, we have been his happy patients for over a year! Scheduling is so easy via text, convenient parking, Dr. Caldwell is incredible with kids and whenever we have an appointment, we are prioritized - there is never a crowd or a long wait. Thankful for you Dr. Caldwell and team!

I can't say enough good things about Ivy City Pediatrics—this dental office is nothing short of amazing! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine sense of care that immediately puts you (and your little ones) at ease. The office is spotless, modern, and actually welcoming—something I never thought I’d say about a dentist! The staff is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. They take the time to explain everything clearly and answer any questions without making you feel rushed.

You can really tell they care about comfort, trust, and long-term dental health—not just getting you in and out. S/O Uniqua! Dr. Caldwell is an absolute rockstar—gentle, thorough, and fantastic with kids.

My child felt so comfortable, and even excited to go back! From the calming atmosphere to the kid-friendly touches, everything is designed to make dental visits easy and positive. If you're looking for a pediatric dental team that goes above and beyond, Ivy City Pediatrics is a total gem. Riley & I couldn’t be happier with our experience!

We recently visited Dr. Caldwell’s practice at Ivy City and had a wonderful experience. My son (5 years old) has always been a little nervous visiting doctors offices, but from the warm reception team, and Dr. Caldwell’s calm and friendly approach, we had a great smooth visit. I highly recommend him, his team and their practice for pediatric dentistry care. 5/5⭐️ recommend.
