My daughter was turned away for treatment because she appeared nervous during her first dental exam. They also let me schedule an appointment for my epileptic daughter and then after the appointment told me they wouldn't do treatment because she had epilepsy. Very very unprofessional.

My son is 3 and this was his FIRST dentist appointment. I know, I waited too long but I was dreading taking him because it's very stressful for him or so I thought. He did absolutely phenomenal and I 100% know it's because of the kid friendly atmosphere and the amazing people that work there. His dental hygienist ( I wish I could remember her name) was so amazing with him and explained everything she was doing to make him comfortable. She did not push herself on him in any way and matched his pace making him super comfortable with her. I was literally blown away with how patient and understanding they were with him. I did a lot of research and I am so glad we decided to go to this dentist. Dr.Kristi did make a brief appearance and checked his teeth but all was well. She had amazing energy when she came and introduced herself. I am so glad I took him here! Can't wait to go back!

Very disappointed in their customer service/ "Policies". I just tried to reschedule my daughters appointments and they said I have been for lack of better terms "kicked out of the practice" for rescheduling too many times. I had to cancel an appointment one time bc I was having a baby... needless to say their policy or how they handle a one time reschedule is terrible. Guess we are now shopping for a new pediatric dentist. Super weird that a business kicks out clients...good riddance.

I have been taking my children here for the past almost 4 years and each one of those years I am confident that I made the best decision. From phone calls, to actual visits both my children and I have always been treated with nothing but kindness and respect! The staff is incredible and the actual Dentist herself is phenomenal! She explains to me everything and always tries to make my kiddos smile! Thank you Bryan Pediatric Dentistry for making each dental visit a fun and smooth one!

My kids hated going to the dentist until we switched here. Every one of the staff members here are very polite, patient with kids, also amazing with my kids. They crack jokes, try their best to have conversation with the kids but you know kids sometimes they talk and sometimes they dont. One of my kids had to have laughing gas to fix a cavity and they were very attentive making sure my child was ok gave him a blanket and constant asked how he was doing. Dr. Donnelly is AMAZING and is amazing with my kids as well. I wish I could keep my kids here forever but at some point they will become to old but until then we will not being seeing any other dentist.

My son had to have some extensive work done on his teeth. He was so nervous and very scared. I will admit, I also had a little anxiety myself. From the moment we walked in the door the staff was extremely nice and assured my son that he would be just fine. The whole appointment went so smooth. The environment was amazing and gentle. The sweet dentist was wonderful as well as the dental assistant and walked us through the whole procedure. We will never go anywhere else. Thank you for putting us at ease throughout the whole process. I would give triple the stars if it was possible.

We love it here! The staff is so friendly, and upbeat! We really enjoyed having Selena as our Dental Assistant, she was so sweet and patient with my little one! Dr. Kristine Donnelly is honestly THE MOST SWEETEST DENTIST I HAVE EVER MET! I would highly recommend anyone who has children to make an appointment here and be apart of this wonderful Dental Office, you won't regret it!

Dr. Kristi and staff are amazing! Our youngest two kiddos have been seeing her after we had some not so good experiences with other Pediatric Dentists. One of our children came in with a mouth full of problems and they have been so patient and kind to us. We have never felt judged, and they have always taken the time to explain everything to us and work out treatment plans that are effective and considerate of our child's personality. Both of our children have had to have some type of treatment done, and they are always professional and intentional about how they treat the children. They are calm, explain to them what is happening at an age appropriate level, and give the child time to process what is happening. Our five year old was nervous but they helped keep her calm and focused. I appreciate that they are willing to attempt in house treatment before hospital options like other pediatric dentists in the area do. They are not miracle workers, but I believe their approach definitely creates a positive atmosphere and sense of confidence for the kiddos. Both of our children have been able to avoid the hospital, and with routine check ups at Bryan Pediatric Dentistry, their mouths are staying healthy. I highly recommend them!!!

I'm afraid my daughter will never let another dentist do any work on her mouth ever again . The staff were horrible. They had no patience with my already nervous child. Kept telling her that she's not listening & using scare tactics saying if she doesn't let them do the procedure she will have to get it done at the hospital without me. She was indeed nervous but my daughter was not fighting with them , she was not trying to run away, she was laying there just a little fidget from being nervous, she actually was doing very great for being 6 years old. I couldn't even help calm her because they were yelling all over my voice to tell her how bad she was doing for trying her best! The dentist and the assistant treated my daughter like she was an animal and had no feelings or emotions! After I spoke up about how rude they were acting the dentist made a mock joke saying "if only we could do this cuddled on the couch with your mommy it would be easier " If I could leave 0 stars I definitely would and I wouldn't recommend anyone to bring their young children here. It was very clear from the beginning that they did not want to treat her. I left the office feeling like the worst mother ever to let my child endure all that bullying experience by adults who are suppose to help her!! I'll pray for them because no normal person would treat a child like that!!

Wow wow and wow, Im amazed on the amazing personal they have here. My children love coming to the dentist now. When I tell them we are going to the dentist they will non stop ask me me what time, can we go now! They love Dr.Kristi and so do I the employees are the best. Everyone treats you like family. That always says good things about people. I have recommended my family and now we all have moved to Kristi! We will continue to recommend ppl because y'all are the best!
