My kids love coming here. They all treat them great, from the receptionist to the hygiene assistant. And they always take time to have a little fun with their own TV station while the kids are getting their work done. Excellent!

Always a pleasant and speedy visit. Surprisingly, we have never had a wait time at this office! We check in and are escorted back right away. A pediatric dentist that allows a parent in with their children is always an important consideration to me when picking a dentist. Happy to say this office fits the bill. The staff and dentist are great!

It was the first appt for my 3 YO and they were so patient and kind. The office wasn't busy and they took all precautions including cleanliness. Office staff and doctors were amazing and my daughter already told me she loves the dentist!

I am very disappointed with this clinic. My daughter had severe pain in her teeth, needed 2 baby root canals as soon as possible, and the clinic simply ignored the urgency of the procedure and said they could do the treatment after 4 months in September. We left desperate in search of other clinics with more humanity consideration. I found everyone very insensitive even more because they were children. I'm really upset. The clinic is beautiful but totally merciless. I don't recommend this place.

What a delight our first dentist trip experience was at the Winter Garden office! The staff members were warm and welcoming and made my two little ones feel at ease. The dental hygienists talked to my 4 year old about each step she was taking along the way and explained everything, which really helped make him comfortable. They also made it very easy for my 2 year old to stay close to mommy during her cleaning. Dr. Andy was fantastic and made my son laugh and feel less nervous. This was a perfect experience for us and we're so glad we found this office! Best part? My kids asked when we can go back!

The staff was wonderful and really made my 3 yr old daughter's 1st visit to the dentist easy. They explained everything they were going to be doing, showed her all their equipment and answered her questions. They were very patient with her and made sure she was comfortable and that she enjoyed her experience.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gooch and his practice! My son has special needs and sensory issues. The entire practice was so understanding and accommodating of him and his needs. They took the extra time to connect with him and were so patient. He loved Dr Gooch and his friendly, engaging manner. He was actually even able to do X-rays and a full cleaning for the first time in his life. (he is 12) I attribute that completely to the staff and Dr. Gooch. My other children loved the ipads and Netflix. I highly recommend.

The hygienists were cheerful and kind. The receptionist was helpful and patient. Dr. Gooch was great with all our kids and took the time to explain to us what procedure our daughter would need. We are so glad we found this practice.

I was a little nervous to bring all four kids at the same time, but it was great! They were fast and efficient. They have a great waiting room to keep the kids distracted when it isn't their turn. Everyone was kind and friendly and answered any questions that I had. My kids all had a great experience!
