Fabulous! My son had a very bad experience with his past dentist and Dr. Kenny came highly recommended for kids who were nervous. I asked Facebook and there was an overwhelming response for this amazing Doctor who has helped so many kids through the stressors of dental work. The office was clean and decorated very well. The staff was incredible friendly and gentle. Everything was done with so much consideration to my child's feelings. They had solutions to help my son that I had not previously seen. At one point I cried in Dr. Kenny's office, talking about the trauma my son experienced and he offered so much support and validation. My son walked out of the office today saying he loved Dr. Kenny and asked if we could go back to him only. Of course, the answer is yes! Highly recommended and so excited to have found this incredible practice

Such a good dentist for kids!! Dr Kenny was so nice to my babies and is focused on building a good relationship with them to make sure they aren't scared. It was very kid friendly. So impressed and happy with this dentist.

I wish I could give a million stars! We came for a second opinion and I am so thankful we did. I have never been treated so well by a healthcare professional as I was here. I had concerns with my son's teeth and the treatment plan from the previous dentist. He sat me down and explained everything in plain language and reassured that the treatment he would do, would be safe. Instead of 4 sessions and a mouth full of crowns with the previous dentist, he was able to do two sessions and did two crowns and fillings. They got my son in pretty quickly for treatment and was amazing with my son. The whole staff was so positive and just amazing. I love that they focus on not making the child's experience traumatizing and I was welcomed in during all of his treatments! Just so incredibly grateful that we came here! Thank you so much for being such a great dentist and having wonderful staff!

We cannot recommend them enough! The treatment my child received was outstanding! We used to go to another dentist, but my son had a bad experience and we decided to try Dr. Zamora after my friend recommended them. Before his cleaning, they gave my son a tour of the office. While doing the cleaning, Dr. Zamora made my son feel very comfortable by sharing evertyhing he was doing and allowing him to explore the tools (and having his favorite movie playing on the ceiling TV didn't hurt). This was the first time my son has stayed on his seat and did not cry or seemed stressed. Great doctors and staff, who are very caring and friendly. Highly recommend them!!!

Best kids dental office. Wish they had a place like this for adults. Very happy office. Well maintained. Very positive and makes you feel like they are with family. Office is so clean and so cool kids can relax and watch a movie while they get teeth worked on.

Bayside Kids Dental is one of the best pediatric dental offices! Below are just a few reasons why I say they're one of the best. They not only get children to feel more comfortable but parents too. Very professional, kind, efficient with call backs, messages to inform you about appointment availability and reminder texts! Fun, clean & unique office layout which has a feel like stepping into a new world for kids not just a dentist office. My four children(ages from 5 to 14) are excited to go each time because they have fun video games to play while you wait and movies. They look forward to going so much that prior to covid, would ask to tag along to a sibling's appointment. The staff is so friendly and Dr. Kenny is so personable and kind to the children. He greets them at the front and asks how they are doing, it's just amazing bed side manners. We love Bayside Kids Dental and are so happy with them. I reccomend Dr. Kenny & his staff to anyone. *Pics are prior to covid*

So this was our second visit. The first visit went great with the exception of the A.A Jennie.This time around the Dentist was just okay. He wasn't as friendly as before. His Assistant this time around was just okay as well. I don't know, but a few times she had almost scolded him because he kept trying to get to the instruments out of curiosity (he's 5). I was looking down at my watch and heard her say keep your hands to yourself, but she was far away from him so I was confused and didn't think that was the correct language to be using if she indeed was talking about the instruments. You should consult with the Mom as I was sitting right there. I have to stress you'll are in a kid based business and every child's temperament is different. Again bad choice of words. Then the Dentist comes and was like ohhhh if your not a really good boy then you won't get any prizes. Which indicated that he was being bad, a 5 year old being inquisitive is not being bad. I'm a Customer Relations Manager so I know how to deal with all types of adult personalities, which we all know can be a challenge so dealing with kids for 20-30 minutes shouldn't be that hard "right". Apparently not in this case for adults or children. I'll tell you why moving along at the end the Dentist says who should I give the coins to (to get prizes out of the machine) he turns to the assistant and said no, she says why not I worked hard, then turns to me to hand them to me as if he was going to REALLY put them in my hand, I reach out to take them and he seriously takes them away and gives them to my Son. Like who does that, I'm a 40 year old woman not a child! I definitely did not like that AT ALL. Those are games you play with children, that really left a bad taste in my mouth. I really left with a bad feeling. Call me sensitive but I think that was really inappropriate, and disrespectful! I'm not sure if it was deliberate or not because of my previous review on Jennie, but I would have NEVER did that to anyone let alone a adult. So unfortunately we are going to part ways. We shouldn't have a problem or end up feeling certain ways every time we leave there!

First, this is the BOUGIEST and FUNNEST kids' (medical/dental) office I have ever seen. Wow, I wish I was a kid, because it's super nice! I really enjoyed taking my kids there. Also, Dr. Zamora is awesome. He was very patient and kind to my kids (3 &5). He and his wife have done an excellent job in creating a positive experience for kids. Not only is their office nice, kids get a prize after their visit, but they are gentle during the appointments. Sadly, our family moved from the area, but I highly recommend this dental office for kids!

When I took my kids for the first time - I was scared since I was changing the kids dentist but I assured my kids that the dentist had great reviews. From start to finish it was an amazing experience and my kids loved it. My oldest loved that it wasn't too kiddy and my youngest loves that it was fun and both the dentist were funny and sweet. My youngest still talks about and even cried when I told him he has to wait 6 months to see them. HIGHLY recommended! and since that day we have been going every 6 months and my kids never complain that they have an apportionment.

They deserve more then a 5 out of 5 more like a million. I have been going since a week before my son turned 1 and we just had our last appt a few weeks ago when my son turned 2. It's so kid friendly from the lobby to a special room they get to go to with toys and books while you wait for the dentist. Everyone is friendly and kind. You can tell they have years of experience working with children. My family is very thankful to have found this amazing dental office. It is also very clean and we love the special toys at the end that are given.
