My family’s experience with Dr. Girdlestone has always been top notch. He is a true expert in pediatric dentistry from his easy calm demeanor as he explains things to the kids to his slight of hand as he performs his tasks. I appreciate the care my children receive there. Great staff!!

We were extremely worried about our 3-year-old needing dental surgery, especially with the anesthesia, but this dental office and their independent anesthesiologist, exceeded our expectations in every way. Dr. Girdlestone was absolutely amazing—his one-on-one approach was so reassuring, and he took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure we felt comfortable every step of the way.

His focus on not traumatizing our daughter truly stood out; he clearly cares deeply about his young patients, which is rare to find in practitioners these days. The entire team was professional, compassionate, and truly had our daughter’s well-being as their top priority. The surgery went smoothly, and to our amazement, our daughter wasn’t traumatized at all—she was back to her happy self the same day! On top of their exceptional care, their pricing is reasonable, and we truly appreciate that they are out of network, as dealing with insurance companies can be an absolute nightmare.

It’s refreshing to see a practice that prioritizes patients over profit. We are beyond grateful for their skill, kindness, and integrity—highly recommend them to any parent in need of pediatric dental work!

The team at Dr. Girdlestone’s is the best! They go above and beyond to make my kids feel comfortable and help them understand what they’re having done. The ladies in the office are so sweet, professional and fun! Amber may be the funniest person I have ever met in my life. My girls and I highly recommend!

Everyone there is so kind & patient! My son has autism and was very scared today. They were amazing with him and were able to calmly get him to willingly participate in his dental cleaning! Big win for us!
