I brought my son with a dental emergency and they were able to see him immediately. They are miracle workers, because he was comfortable and did not cry or refuse to be treated as he has in the past. They have now gained a loyal patient. Thank you very much i truly appreciate your dedication to children dental care!

My son and I had a good experience here! He gets very nervous. Everyone was patient with him. They took the time to explain everything to both of us. I did not feel rushed.

Very kind and friendly staff; however, we waited about 30 minutes before we were seen (7:30am appointment, but we're taken back until 8:00am). It's very kid-friendly so lots to keep them occupied while waiting. The dentist we saw, was also very patient with our 2 year old. Overall, a positive experience!

I love Chula Vista Pediatric Dentistry. Their staff and office is welcoming. They have tablets for kids to play games while they're waiting in the lobby. They made my daughter feel very comfortable at her first appointment and made sure to mention every step they were doing.

I have been taking my three kids to pediatric dentistry for over 5 years. Every dental visit has been the best experience! The waiting area is clean and neat. The front desk and all staff are always welcoming and kind! My children always leave with a smile despite it being a scary place for kids! We have never had one complaint or bad experience! This last visit was the exception and the first time my children felt uncomfortable. I sat there upset knowing this was not the "norm." Myra did cleanings for all of my children. She wasn't the usual warm friendly staff we are used to. The kids were almost treated and talked to as though they were adults. We all left disappointed and uncomfortable. I avoided confrontation because it wouldn't have ended well. I hope by writing this review she will be held accountable and be reminded to be kind and gentle when working with children. Dental trips can be overwhelming. Children need to feel comfortable and safe especially when they are nervous.
