I have been taling my daughter to Children's Primary Dental since she was 4 years old. It was recommended to me at that time by my neighbor after so many failed Dentist visits. Once I visited Children's Primary Dental back in 2012 they were amazing. Now I continue to take all my 3 children here. Absolutely love this Dentist Office for my little ones. The staff is amazing, kind and very informative.

The staff is always friendly, calm and always explaining what they will be doing with my children and that makes the whole experience for my 3 kids amazing. We are in and out with no fuss and after many years of coming here the experience is always the same.

This is our 3rd time visiting this office ans the staff are warm, friendly and accommodating. I brought both of my boys and it was a disaster But the staff didn't make us feel bad and tried everything they could to make the trip as easy as possible. Yesica was outstanding! She recapped everything for me and explained what was happening so I could understand, but didn't talk down to me which i appreciate. Dr Mendoza was also very nice, as were the reception staff. This is a great place to take your kids! Thank you all at Children's Primary

I've been going here since my now 17 year old son was 3 years old. My two younger children still come here and we make the drive from Murrieta every 6 months to come here. I love this place that have show great care for all my children and have always treated them like they are family. Everyone is very friendly and they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and at home.

Awful. The dentist was great and very nice. But the assistant that was hovering over her need to work on her bedside manner. This place also needs to work on their relationship with the patient and families. We have been going there since my kid was 6mos old, they are almost 5 now but was treated like a complete stranger. So with that said I'm going elsewhere.

Not a good choice! Its seems like this office is more a turn and burn kind of place. They did not make my child or I feel comfortable, they were very agressive with the anesthesia and when we got home a week later my sons tooth and cap broke off. Not worth the time, pain thid has caused my son!!!! Find a different dentist!!!!!!!!!!

My 7 yr old had extensive work done so she went in under anesthesia, the front ladies were kind and welcoming, the anesthesia crew very informative and kind we felt our little one was in good hands, we felt the dentist did a great job, our little one was cranky as soon as she woke up, she had little pain but by the afternoon she was herself as happy as she could be, total success..thank you Children's Primary great job!

The dentist and the front desk are very friendly and nice, but one of the lady that was attending one of my three girls on the back was very rude and ignore one of my girls. She seem like she doesnt like her job.

I've been taking my son here for the past two years! And I'm so thankful for all of their efforts to make me, as a mom, feel comfortable and for taking care of all my sons dental needs. Every time we come in for our appointments, they attend us right away. When they begin the appointment they take care of everything right away. Even during the pandemic. I really appreciate their work and their help. I definitely recommend!! They are amazing.
