My 15 month old chipped her tooth today which is every parents worst nightmare. I was not a previous patient but they were able to get me in within the hour! Every single person was beyond friendly. The exam was painless and my daughter barely fused! The visit was extremely affordable without insurance as well. Would recommend this practice to any parent who is looking for a friendly, fast, wonderful experience for their child's dental needs.

Amazing facility and superb dentists! The waiting room has a pirate ship with a slide that my 8 year old still loves. They also have electronic games, tv's, and beautiful fish tanks in the main lobby. My daughter is always excited to come here and they have been caring and go above and beyond to make sure your kiddo has the best experience!

Both of my children (now 22 and 16) have been patients of Dr. Havard since 2005. My oldest would still be there if allowed. Dr. Havard and the staff are amazing to work with. Literally service with a smile. I highly recommend them for your children!

Such an amazing and caring staff. My daughter who is 3 yrs old broke her tooth over the weekend. The doctors called back in a timely manner and were willing to see her quickly. They also checked on her several times over the weekend. She was able to get in first thing on Monday to have it pulled. She is not a good patient to say the least, but they worked quickly and carefully to get her tooth pulled. I would highly recommend Dr. Friend and Dr. Cohen to anyone.
