At Auburn Pediatric Dentistry, we believe each child enters our office as an individual with a diverse set of characteristics, needs, and behaviors. We embrace all children and work hard to adapt our practices to make each visit successful. It is a privilege to oversee the oral health needs of your children, and we will treat them in the same manner we would treat our own children.
We enjoy watching children grow over the years and become successful in maintaining their oral health. From the very first visit and throughout subsequent years, our specially trained team works to provide a comfortable and fun environment where children can feel relaxed and are able to learn about their oral health needs.
A partnership between you (the guardian) and our team is important in promoting healthy oral habits at home. At Auburn Pediatric Dentistry, you can expect a professional, fun atmosphere where you will be invited to play an important role in your childs oral hygiene.
As decisions concerning treatment options are needed, you will be fully informed of all treatments and possible outcomes. This will be conducted in a friendly, informative manner and will only progress when all options are fully understood and agreed upon by you.
We appreciate the opportunity to teach children the importance of oral health care and help them develop good habits when they are young. We believe these habits contribute to positive overall health benefits for the rest of their lives. Thank you for the privilege of being involved in the oral health care and overall development of your child.

Hello, friends! My name is Jamie Williams, a dental assistant for Auburn Pediatric Dentistry. I have worked for APD for 6 years now. I started working here after completing my externship from dental assisting school. I am married and have three kids.
I first met Dr. Derrow when my youngest child was referred for dental treatment by another office in town. My son was 4 years old and had never had any treatment other than a cleaning. After such a positive experience with Dr. Derrow and staff, my children have been patients ever since. I went back to school after all my children were in school full time, and became a dental assistant. I completed my externship at APD and was hired right after. I am happy to be part of a team that makes dental treatment a fun and positive experience.
My name is Lizbeth Quintana and I am a dental assistant. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I also enjoy traveling and meeting new people. I started working for Auburn Pediatric Dentistry in 2018, shortly after completing my externship from school.
I love being able to put a smile on a patients face and make their experience the best one each time. Working with children has taught me that every day is a new adventure. Im extremely glad to be a part of this wonderful, loving team. I look forward to meeting you and your children.
