On the job, she loves building a good rapport with patients and easing any fears young patients have. Whenever kids say funny things at our office, it puts a smile on Julies face. Her dental philosophy comes down to one thing: prevention, prevention, prevention. As a dental hygienist, she was drawn to Dr. Christinas energy and the fact that everyone works together as a team.
In her spare time, Julie likes to express her artistic side (she studied art before dental hygiene!). She makes jewelry and glass beads and enjoys macram and quilting. Other favorite pastimes include yoga and running. Somehow, she finds time to teach dental health education at surrounding schools.

We recently moved and had been looking for a dentist for my 4 year old and 2 year old. Decided to schedule after seeing the other reviews. All I can say is WOW! Very impressed with the care my kids received and the practice itself. The kids played in the play area of the waiting room while waiting to be seen. Once they were seen, the doctor and staff were so engaging and the kids LOVED their visit to the dentist. Great work, you guys are awesome!

Dr.Christina and all her staff are great! My daughter had a terrifying experience at another dentist, a friend recommended Dr.Christina and it's been such a pleasurable experience for the last two years. My daughter doesn't need me to hold her hand or even want me in the room with her. The new office is great. It has a very homie feel to it. Can't say enough about Dr.Christina. Not to mention LeAnn the office coordinator. She is great.

Highly recommend CDS for children. The friendly team makes it comfortable for children to visit the dentist. My son enjoys the bonus of watching the ceiling-mounted TVs during a visit!

I have four children and my family has gone to Children's Dentist Specialists since it opened. My two youngest started their visits when they were a little over a year old. My children love Dr. Christina and her staff is great. Everyone is very warm and caring and have a way of putting your child at ease when they might be nervous about going to the dentist. Both offices are great, and my kids actually think it is fun to go there. They get to watch the tv on the ceiling and wear cool sunglasses. At the end of the visit they even get a prize for being such a good patient. I like that your appointments always start on time as scheduled and they have all state of the art equipment. It's not like going to the dentist when I was a kid. X-rays are easy, they don't hurt and my kids don't cry. The key is to start them early. I highly recommend Children's Dental Specialists to anyone looking for the best quality dental care for their children.
