Awesome experience. My almost 2 year old daughter had an appointment this morning and everything went smoothly. We were called in a few minutes and all staffs are so friendly. Dr. Kawada is so patient and went over everything. My daughter had no any cries or discomforts at all. She loves been there and did not want to leave at the end. I highly recommend this place. It's very kids- friendly.

This is a stellar pediatric dentist office. Everyone here cares about the kids experience. If procedures are necessary (cavities, retainers, etc) they make every effort to make the child as comfortable as possible.

Super impressed with the dentist and her entire team. Made us all feel comfortable by following Covid safety and they were so good with my daughter who is always so nervous going to doctor or dentist. Both of my kids will go there as long as they'll have them. Excellent service and expertise!

My 10 year old son had the best experience here. His previous dental experience was awful and he hated going. I read reviews and searched for a pediatric dentist. I came across this place. They texted me when he was ready to be seenand the place was very clean. They were super nice and comforting. They made him feel at ease and had asked questions to get him comfortable. They told him step by step what they were doing and why they were doing it.He absolutely loved this place and actually looks forward to going back. I truly recommend this dentist.

Dr. Kawada and her team have been caring for my 3 kids for 10 years. We moved to San Diego for a couple of years and still kept her as our dentist. They are kind, professional and thorough. I've referred several friends here.

I can't think of a better review than to say that my three year old is EXCITED to go to the dentist! She is more excited to go into the dentist than to go into the toy store. She genuinely loves it here. She is even happy to brush & floss at home, because she has such a positive experience here. They explain every step in a fun way, so she knows exactly what to expect. Every member of the staff is patient and understanding. I love that it isn't a trick with toys and screens, but a highly qualified, well trained staff that is setting my child up for a lifetime of positive feelings about the dentist.

First time taking my son there. First, they did an amazing job keeping us / making us feel safe during this pandemic times we're living. They're checking in process ran smoothly. They have a "text us when you arrive and stay in your car until we text you back that we are ready for you". I appreciated that. Also, they send you paperwork via email where you can fill out and submit online. So when they were ready for us, there was no need to fill anything out. We literally went straight into the room and onto the chair. Zero contact with front office. The dental hygienist (Mary) and the doctor (Dr. Rosie Tran) we're both amazing with my son. Made him feel at ease and made sure to tell him exactly what was going to happen. They both communicated great with me on any concerns and questions I had. Were able to set up the next 6 month appointment right away. Overall, good first visit. Thank you!
