  • Our Doctors: Our board-certified pediatric dentists Dr. Jo Cronly, Dr. John Flowers, Dr. Amanda Kuhn,Dr. Ashley Harman, and Dr. Kathryn Skarda are highlytrained specialists.

Each of our doctors is a parent, too, and dedicated to caring for your child as their own.
  • Our Team: We are proud of our team members. Whether in the front office or the clinic, they are professional, welcoming, and well-skilled. Like the doctors, our team loves personally getting to know each child and their family, and thrives on the real friendships that grow with the wonderful people we serve.
  • Our Focus: We believe childrens teeth are a reflection of a childs overall health, so we want all children to have healthy smiles and healthy bodies. We focus on preventive care, establishing healthy behaviors, and reinforcing them with praise and encouragement.
  • Our Approach: We expect kids to be kids, not little adults, and allow each to become comfortable at their own pace. If that means sitting on the floor and chatting for a while, were good with that! No victory is too small, and while we dont always win over every child at every visit, we eventually get there by maintaining a calm, happy, and supportive environment. Earning a childs trust, and his orher wonderful smile, is our greatest reward!

    They have serious issues with communication, and when you ask them common sense questions, you get put on hold. Never coming back. The dentist we saw initially was amazing!!! She's the only reason I'm even giving it two stars.

    I normally had a really good experience here and all dentists that have worked on my son have been great for the most part. I believe Dr. Harman is new but I didn't appreciate her adding dental procedures to my sons file without my knowledge. He had 3 cavities and the plan was to have them filled. For a month I prepared him because he hates the dentist, and he was ready to go. When I got there I was informed that they would be extracting two front baby teeth(which I didn't prepare him for) and of course I told him and after that it was downhil. She made it seem like my son just wasn't ready and he was too scared but in reality he was fully ready but she ruined it by adding the extractions to the plan. She said that even after they told him they wouldn't do the extractions that he was still really scared. Which is true, but it's because the damage had already been done and he was already shaken up. I'm not sure if pediatric dentistry is for her. The assistants were so much better with him than she was.
