My daughter goes here. She absolutely loves the fun decor of the office. The staff is very friendly, fast and efficient. I wish they could service me. Lol

They say first impressions are everything! And I must say our first time here at ShiningStars was a great experience. The Doctor Gia got straight to business and fixed my baby up. I’m forever grateful and they now have a forever client!

We didn’t have a good experience. The office is loud and overstimulating for young kids (no separation between the exam room and waiting room and loud TVs everywhere). The front desk staff weren’t welcoming.

The dentist wasn’t thorough (spent no more than 7 minutes with my kid, rushed through the cleaning/skipped cleaning every tooth, and lightly brushed fluoride on only a couple of teeth), and she spoke loudly and fast, when she should have been calm and slow when working with young kids. My little kid was scared and quietly crying (but has never been scared of a dentist before this first visit with this provider) but the dentist still pushed forward, ignoring his reaction. Then the dentist said the X-ray tech didn’t do the X-rays correctly so she couldn’t see most of the teeth/roots, but then said there wasn’t any reason to re-do them.

I’m no expert but if your job is to make sure kids’ teeth are healthy, you should make sure they are healthy. We rushed out of the chaos as soon as we were “dismissed” and promptly cancelled our follow up appointment.

Thank you Dr. Gia and Antwan! I was worried about how much work my son needed done at once but they made the processes so easy and my son tolerated the procedure well. Pro tip: Know your kid’s favorite music!
