As specialists in pediatric dentistry, we focus on the unique needs of infants, children, and those with special needs. Being leading family pediatric dentists in Ormond Beach FL and Port Orange, Florida, we educate parents on the proper care of newly forming teeth, nutrition, and what to expect as your child grows. We encourage you to join your child while they are being seen for their visits so you will know everything being discussed and can be an active part of our team approach.

McDonnell & Parsons Pediatric Dentistry is a prevention-based practice focused on the needs and comfort of our patients. We understand a positive dental experience early in childhood will impact them throughout their lives. Our goal as pediatric dentists in Ormond Beach FL and Port Orange, FL is to provide a positive, fun environment and the care your child deserves.

You can rest assured we would never perform treatment that is not absolutely necessary. As a childrens dentist, we feel the childs needs are much more important than what the insurance company determines as the best treatment. Unlike most insurance companies, we prefer to prevent cavities, not restore them when not necessary.

    Dr. Donley is literally the best! He performed a frenectomy on our 1 week old and we took him back for his 1 year cleaning and he is so kind, gentle and patient. He really takes his time to talk with you and answer any questions. The rest of the staff is great too. Good energy and very timely.

    Called in to make an appointment. First question out of my mouth was if they were in network with my insurance provider. The answer I was given was yes. I drove 45 min to my sons appointment to be told that the were not in network. Be very clear with the office staff when you are talking to them.

    I have taken both of my kids here for a few years now and they have always been nice and courteous. We took our son in today for a routine cleaning he's 10 years old and no cavities or history of issues. He's always had a good experience and no issues with the cleaning. This time we got a different dental hygienist and she was rude and loud where the other patients could her what she was telling my son. That he had a lot of plaque and he's not doing a good job brushing his teeth. Did the cleaning so hard that his gums were bleeding and swollen by the time she was done. The biggest complaint I have is the rudeness to how she communicated the information and how loud she was were other patients and parents could here what she was saying. This was not professional and very embarrassing. I guess we'll have to find another dentist office to take our kids if they continue to allow employees to treat patients in this horrible manner.

    Dr Ryan was AMAZING with my 18 month old daughter. She is very shy and had never been the dentist. Him and his staff were beyond patient and accommodating for my little one, making both of us feel comfortable and more than a number. He took his time, we never felt rushed, and his little special things like toys and magic really impressed me. We have most definitely found our dentist for this and all future kiddos. Highly recommend- you will not be disappointed!

    My 4 yr old daughter had her first visit yesterday and we were amazed at our experience. Super professional, kid friendly environment. The assistant, Sarah was very knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant. She was patient with our daughter and explained everything to her and us. Dr. McDonnell was awesome as well. So glad we were recommended to come here. My daughter now loves the dentist!
