I was waiting for more than an hour, and when I see that they call the people who arrived last than me, I went to the window and told her that why don't they attend to me if I have more than an hour, she just said oh ok, after a while She sent someone with the consent form, they didn't tell me an excuse or anything, She already had my son's name taken care of, and I better left, they don't care about patients, because they have too many, they don't pay me the slightest attention

I almost have tears in my eyes while typing this. From beginning to end, check in to check out, this office is AMAZING. I took both of my children here after having terrible experiences at two different practices and I couldn't be more pleased. So professional. So sanitary. So patient and accommodating. One of my children had a horrible job done at another location and the staff here put my mind at ease. As a mom, you can only imagine what that means to me. My other child suffered through a hack cleaning earlier this year, which cost her valuable insurance coverage. The doctors took care of her and got us scheduled for follow-ups right away. They even sent a referral to Brace Busters to help out with our upcoming appointment. I just have to SAY THANK YOU to everyone at Cavity Busters. Thank you for helping my youngest feel better about the dentist. A night and day experience. Looking forward to years of continued care.

I love all the Doc Bresler's Pediatric Dentist offices (that we've been to so far...) and so far the staff at every location, has exceeded my expectations. On the phone-- notifying me via text, with openings for last minute appts, overall helpfulness and compassion... In person, the staff and healthcare professionals who work there are excellent. Bedside manner is excellent and skilled with young kiddos, especially with sensitivities to sensory overload. Every location has a different theme in the lobby... Which, in this one (South Philly), the place is designed perfect for young kids, and the art (wall paintings and physical central attraction, is unbelievable!) This office waiting room is themed with "jungle" or"safari" type, as seen in the pics. It's quite a site, that keeps you and your child busy just looking at all the different animals they have in the central art piece. The artists that created this are very talented! I adored the sleeping Hippo on the hammock in the middle. Plenty of space, there's even an area (closed for COVID) with 3 TV's mounted to the walls and game consoles with controllers attached. They're placed for an average height of an adolescent child, one slightly lower, and the 3rd for the smallest kids. 2 large TV's mounted in the lobby with kid-content playing. There was a huge TV playing a movie with dinosaurs, in our room, when we saw the dentist. The overall experience was nearly seamless, and all things considered...(it was extremely difficult for my son) but they handled the situation perfectly. I truly appreciate the incredible staff, especially the healthcare professionals who truly work with you, and your child. I'll be going here as long as there in business. Highly recommend!!!!! A++++ Thank you Doc Bresler's !
