My three daughters were in and out in 20 minutes. I went back with them, they were all in the same room. My youngest was dressed as a princess and the hygienists called her Rapunzel the entire time. Nice, easy and quick.

Dr. Wittemore has done several procedures on my six year old, who does not like the dentist. He is always calm and patient with him, and silly when it helps to distract. I also appreciate, even though my son is so young, he explains every single step of the procedure to him, so he knows just what to expect.

We have taken our son to Dr. Whittmore since he was 3 and have always had a pleasant and easy experience. He is no longer nervous or scared to go for cleanings. Unfortunately he had such an easy time having a cavity filled he said he wants to go back because it was so fun. Dental Staff and front desk are super friendly.

Have been taking all three of my kids here since they were 4 years old. Dr. Whittemore does an amazing job, very friendly and great with my kids! The entire staff is very polite and do a great job explaining benefits and out of pocket costs. I can tell you, hands down this is the best kids dental office around and i wouldnt take my kids anywhere else. . .

. . and i have been to multiple other locations before finding Dr. Whittemore and his team.
