Very kind staff for a very scared mom and 5 year old, each person in the office from the front desk staff to the office manager being so kind, Courtney was great with my daughter and keeping her laughing. Lastly the doctor is very attentive to nervous parents and awesome with the kids. I love this place would recommend to anyone with a child.

First time taking my 4 year old here and they were exceptional. Everyone was so friendly and patient, from the girl at the front desk, to Courtney who cleaned her teeth and Dr. Michelle. Clean and comfortable, highly recommend-and we will be returning in 6 months and telling all our friends. Thank you for a great experience!

Simply amazing! It's imperative I share my experience, I wanted to find a place that would make my daughters 1st experience a good one and they did just that and more! My daughter is excited to take care of her teeth and loves going to the dentist! The dental assistants are great and took the time to explain every step being done and the importance of dental hygiene. They have kid activities around to allow parents to take care of the paperwork etc. All the staff are great and interact with the patients and parents. Doctor A is very professional and great with kids her candor speaks for itself. I wouldn't go anywhere else and will see them in 6 months for the routine cleanings

I had an ok experience, the entire staff were really nice but the dentist. I had a few concerns for my toddler but she answered just a couple of questions in a rush, and the moment I turned to get the free toothbrush from her assistant she left without even saying goodbye. I had to direct my questions to the assistant instead. This was back in November. I'll be looking for a different dentist.

Absolutely the best experience from start to finish. They were great at relaxing our 3 year old and took extra steps to ensure his confidence too. They communicated every step of the way and made sure what was next. We are so glad we chose Alafaya Pediatric. The whole Team is delightful to work with.

So happy to have found Alafaya Pediatric Dentistry! They were able to see both of my children at the same time for a sibling visit. I had called other dentists where they wouldn't do this (see them at the same time or one after the other). Being able to go back with my children was also important to me. It was my daughters first dentist appointment and my son has anxiety around doctors/dentists appointments. I had called other places and most weren't allowing parents or siblings back during the visit. My son loved the Nintendo switch in the waiting room. They also have coffee and water. All seats had a TV above them where they could choose something on Disney plus. My kids loved this and was a good distraction from what was going on in their mouth. Everyone in the office is super friendly and amazingly sweet with my kids. My son had chipped his front permanent tooth and Dr. Aliotti did an amazing job repairing it. It looks like nothing ever happened. We have definitely found our forever dentist!

Couldn't be happier with this dental office! All the staff are so kind. We loved meeting the therapy dog! The hygienist and dentist were very patient with my 4 year old. After having Covid-19 tests in the past 6 months, he is completely scared of all doctors. He cried quite a bit and would barely open his mouth. They took time to build back his trust. By the end, he was able to make it through everything. He loved the toy machine and was back to his happy self when it was all over. I'm really thankful to have found this dentist! I will be recommending them to all my friends with kids!
