I wish I could give ZERO stars. I would not take my child back to this office after our experience. We had issue with work done a year ago, so went in to have it checked, they charged us for the visit AND the dentist worked on a filling in my child's mouth without any numbing. Meanwhile my child CRIED and shaking on the table. His tears did not stop her from continuing. Because I wanted to get out of there so quickly because I lost all trust, I went to another dentist for second opinion and they had to do additional work and FIX the reason we went in. I will NEVER recommend them. Kids should not experience poor dental care.

The best dental experience for my children! Fun environment and lovely staff. You can tell everyone there loves what they do. I'm so happy this office is so close to home and is very involved in the community. I will be recommending in the community pages as well.

The staff at Cammarata is very nice and inviting. The reason for the low rating is the fact that Dr. Brown seems to diagnose the overwhelming majority of children as being tongue tied. Some parents blindly subject their children to this expensive and elective procedure based on the dentist's diagnosis but it seems that second opinions contradict the dentist's findings. The area's pediatrician even noticed that an overwhelming number of parents are coming to them with this diagnosis from the same dentist. When I personally mentioned this to my circle of friends I was shocked how many people received the same diagnosis. Something seems very off.

I can't say enough good things about our experience at Cammarata Pediatric Dentistry Group. From the front desk ladies all the way up to Dr. Shisler, we felt so well taken care of the whole time. My daughter ended up having to have her 2 front teeth pulled (after falling off her bike) and they made both of us feel very comfortable in an rather chaotic situation. I would highly recommend them to anyone in an emergency situation with your kiddos!!

We have had such a wonderful experience with Cammarata Pediatric! Everyone there is very friendly, professional and helpful. I appreciated that they explained everything thoroughly to me and my son. I would recommend them for any child that needs dental work done.

Wonderful! All the office staff are very friendly and professional. They specifically asked me (and my child) if we had any questions and took their time to make sure we were comfortable.

This was our daughter's first dental experience. We chose the office because it is in our neighborhood and the wonderful reviews. We had to write our own because our expectations were exceeded in every way possible. Every single person from the receptionist, the assistants, and Dr. Brown made this a wonderful experience. Everyone was kind, professional, and caring. Our four year old was very nervous to go to the dentist, but walked out smiling and happy after her visit. We were very impressed how everyone went out of the way to make her feel comfortable. We can't wait for our next appointment in six months! So happy to have found this practice.

They're the best!! Seriously, I have loved taking my kids here for the past two years. My kids love it too! The staff always greets us with a smile and our appointments start on time. Dr. Shisler is so great with my kids during their dental procedures and helps them feel comfortable. I don't really write reviews, but they deserve a shout out.

My daughter had to have dental work done, it was our first time coming here and met Dr. Taylor. She was awesome with my 5 year old and made her feel comfortable and safe. Nurse Joslin was amazing as well, she helped keep her mind off of the procedure ahead and kept her happy. The front desk ladies are always very nice and caring. We had her last bit of work done today and we will definitely keep coming back for future cleanings. Thank you everyone at Cammarata for making us feel comfortable and cared about. See y'all in the future! Samantha and Caroline V.

We have had the best experience at Cammarata Dentistry! We have tried multiple pediatric dentists in the area for my kids, and have finally found one where we both feel comfortable. Dr Kong is patient, kind, and so wonderful with kids! She takes the time to really explain everything, which is so important to me, as a parent. Love it!
