My son has autism, 10 years old…. This place was amazing… From the time we arrived until the time we left, everyone was so attentive and patient. The receptionist, nurses and dentists were so comforting, this was the first time my son made it through a whole appointment, X-Rays and all! Definitely found our new pediatric dental office.

I had a good experience better than what I expected. The staff was really nice and friendly and knowledgeable in what they were doing and made sure that I understood what they were letting me know. Even showing me a few things of flossing my toddler's teeth Dr. Josh was wonderful with my toddler. Made him feel very comfortable. Overall great experience for my toddler.

My 17 month old son had a pretty severe dental injury and needed to have two of his teeth extracted. Miranda, our dental assistant was incredible. She made sure he was as comfortable as possible and kept him smiling. (Which isn’t easy when you have to work on an injured baby) Wonderful bedside manner and overall very professional and super friendly! Everyone made me feel very comfortable and much more at ease about his injury and what needed to be done. It was a very clean, efficient, and very friendly office.

There was a lot more communication than you typically see between all staff members and it was refreshing to see such communication and teamwork. It is something that makes a huge difference, especially in the medical field, and made me feel like my son was very safe and was getting the best care possible. It is reassuring to see how they all work together and how they interact with patients and parents. It gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend this place.

They took the time to explain everything and make sure I understood it all before moving on. They didn’t try to rush, they wanted to make sure we were comfortable and as informed as possible before proceeding.

We have been going to this practice for at least three years and they have always been wonderful with our children. At our most recent visit on 6/4/25, Maria worked with both of my kids. She was kind, calm, patient, engaging, and made my young children feel super comfortable.

She also gave advice on flossing and brushing. Experiences like this one helps my children to look forward to going to the dentist! They already can’t wait for their next cleaning!
