The kids feel like they're at the movies while they enjoy a wide-screen television, tuned to cartoons and kid-friendly shows, from the comfort of movie theater seats. Also available are plenty of games, puzzles, books, and toys as well as a drawing and coloring table to pass any waiting time quickly.
Each time the children visit us, they can sign up to win our animal of the month. If we pick their name, we take their picture with their new friend, and it's placed on our 'wall of fame' with the winners from the other months.
At Dental Haven, we believe in gentle dental care, and do not use papoose boards (a full body restraint that many pediatric dental offices use). In fact, we don't even have one in the building. We work with children and parents alike to make your experience here memorable in a good way.
Dr. Alexandra is excited to be working with her father, Dr. Gonzo, at Dental Haven and to be back close to home after living around the country for her schooling. She graduated from undergrad at Marquette University. She then moved to the East Coast to earn her degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Maryland Baltimore in 2015, where she was inducted into the Gamma Pi Delta Prosthodontic Honor Society and the Gorgas Odontologic Honor Society. She completed one year of advanced training at a General Practice Residency program at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago, IL.
Dr. Gonzo was born in Colombia, South America. He completed his studies at Xavier University before moving to the United States. Once in the U.S., he attended University of Iowas Dental School and then completed his specialty training at the program of pediatric dentistry at the University of Maryland - Baltimore in 1989.
Dr. Gonzo began his career in Kenosha, WI, continued on in Green Bay, WI and is currently practicing in Appleton, WI. He took over Dr. Fischers pediatric dental practice in 1998 under the name Dental Haven for Children. The name of the office has since changed to Dental Haven in 2016 with the addition of his daughter, Dr. Alexandra, who is a general dentist.
He is an active member of the Wisconsin Society of Pediatric Dentistry, the Wisconsin Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the Institute for Growth and Development in Pediatric Dentistry.

Dr Gonzo and his team are absolutely amazing! My daughter has been afraid of the dentist since day one, but Dr. Gonzo and his team made her feel so comfortable and they were so patient with her that she is happy when she leaves the dentist and loves to go back! Everyone is so nice and has great energy at Dental Haven! I highly recommend Dr. Gonzo and his team especially if your little is not a fan of the dentist.

This place is soooo GREAT! I wish I would have discovered this place years ago. Perfect place to take your kids. Very comfortable and everyone was so nice and everything was explained in great detail. The dentist was excellent with our boy and took the time to explain procedures and such. Parents - its a no brainer!

Wonderful office, from the front desk (they answer questions by text!) to the hygienists and doctors. If you're looking for a dentist who is amazing with mega anxious patients, go here. They offer about one million medical and non-medcial ways to help

We had an excellent first experience at Dental Haven today with my young daughter. Everyone was very friendly, and the office was perfectly set up to keep a 2 year old entertained and comfortable.

For those that know me, it's no surprise that I have a fear of going to the dentist. At Dental Haven, this long-standing fear of mine quickly diminished. From the initial moment I walked in the door, to the very end, I felt nothing but welcomed. From the comforting atmosphere to the fantastic staff, Dr. Alexandra, Morgan and Jenny made this visit not only peaceful but fun. It was not just another appointment to them. I highly recommend Dental Haven to anyone.

Let's face it, going to the dentist isn't something everyone looks forward to...at least I don't. It was about 2 years since I last had an appointment, I was looking for a new dentist so I thought I'd give Dental Haven a try. I'm so glad I did!! When I walked in I was expecting the typical sterile, cold dentist office, boy was I wrong! I didn't feel like I was at the dentist...I felt like I was home...it was so warm and welcoming and everyone is so friendly!!! Dr Alexandrea and her team, Morgan and Claire, were absolutely amazing!! They went out of their way to make me feel welcome, were patient and kind, explaining everything they were doing and always asking if I was doing ok! I've never had such an exciting and fun time at the dentist in my whole life!! I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment!! And I promise to floss everyday!! Please, if you are looking for a dentist, as an adult or for your child, go to Dental Haven, Dr Gonzo and Dr Alexandrea are the absolute BEST!!!

We wasted alot of time trying to get my daughters teeth looked at. I jumped through hoops with my insurance and then dental haven wouldn't even return emails or calls to figure out pre payment amount.

We brought our 2 year old daughter in to have her examined because of dental decay, as all the other reviews have said the people are kind but when we were presented with a estimate of almost $7000 without including hospital or anesthesia bills we decided to get a second opinion. They were going to have a dental operation done at Theda Clark, where my daughter would be put under anesthetics. They only did dental work in the hospital 2 times a month and we had to pay a un-refundable $430 holding charge for this procedure. We proceeded to do so. After talking to family and friends they recommended that we get a second opinion, and I am so happy that we did. The second pediatric dentist we went to recommend the same procedure but was half the cost, and didn't need to do the amount of work Dental Haven recommended and didn't require a holding fee. I called Dental Havens office and explained what we found and as expected they would not refund the $430 charge. Please take our advice and get a second opinion before you give them the approval of their un-refundable charges, or better yet save the head ache and steer clear.

My daughter and I both had cracked a back molar, and I was nervous for us both to go to the dentist. It was my daughter's first ever experience and we couldn't have had a better one! Both of us also had cavities and I was never made to feel guilty about the work myself or my daughter needed. Dr. Gonzo made my five year old feel so comfortable and cared for, so much so she wants to be a dentist now! He really has the perfect demeanor to make everyone in the room feel at ease! My daughter left feeling confident and well cared with no anxiety about returning in the future! That's all a mom can hope for. I also had multiple return visits with Dr. Alexandra and nothing but five stars for my whole adventure to get my smile feeling healthy again! I was very nervous about the damage I had done especially since I was experiencing frequent tooth aches. Safe to say, I got my confidence back and now know there is never a need to wait to go in, in the future! Thank you too both doctors and their incredible staff! We look forward to seeing you all at our next check up!

The team over at Dental Haven go above and beyond! I was scheduled for just a check up and a cleaning with Dr. Alexandra, but when it came time for my appointment one of teeth was hurting a lot and causing pain throughout my mouth. When I expressed that to Dr. Alexandra and the team at Dental Haven, they did everything in their ability to find a solution. They worked with me to pin point the problem area and ended doing a filling on the tooth that was cracked to resolve the problem right then, even though I was only booked for a cleaning. The procedure went flawlessly and the pain in my tooth immediately started to go down! I couldn't be happier with my experience! I have been going to Dental Haven since I was a kid and Dr. Gonzalo and Dr. Alexandra are amazing at what they do! Their expertise and passion for Dentistry is second to none!

I hadn't been to a dentist in over 10 years which is quite embarrassing. The more I put it off the more the anxiety built up of having to explain myself that I just kept not going. After having my daughters see Dr.Gonzo for a few years, and seeing that his daughter Dr. Alexandria was accepting adult patients I thought I should just suck it up and go. I was nervous but thankfully there was no judgment and no embarrassment. Dr. Alexandria was kind, understanding and awesome.

The value of a being a patient and not being a number is excellent at Dental Haven. From the check-in process, waiting room experience, dental care and follow-up does not disappointment and something I've not experienced before until coming to Dental Haven. I'm not a huge fan of going to the dentist and Dr. Alexandra and team make me feel so comfortable, recognize my fear as real and are outstanding with care. Dr. Alexandra is thorough, takes her time explaining and offers several options to help make the best decision for me. Definitely a 5 star clinic and 5 star dentist. Thanks Dental Haven.
