I love working with kids of all ages and want to show all of our patients how going to the dentist can be fun, especially with magic tricks! My goal is to have kids grow up fearless in a dental setting, and, equally as important, teach families the skills that will help keep their dental visits to a minimum. Starting them off early will lead to a lifetime of prevention!
Im active with my continuing education and the newest technologies available. I have had training in the uses of ozone therapy for applications in dentistry, and am a member of theInternational Association of Orofacial Myology, which specializes in the position of the oral and facial muscles and habit patterns.
Im married and have two teenagers. At home, I enjoy gardening and am well practiced at chasing gophers away! Im a cyclist and love my annual backpacking adventures. West County is my home and I like to get my family out to explore the world around them near and far, as often as possible. I consider myself to be a lifetime learner and mentor,and always enjoy spending time expanding my skills both professionally and personally.
Providing a compassionate, friendly, and a fun environment for children is such a privilege. It is also one of the main reasons I decided to become a pediatric dentist. I feel grateful to have the opportunity to build a trusting relationship with the families in our community. And nothing makes me happier than to see the children leave after their visit with a big smile on their face! It is very rewarding to help create a positive and lasting impact on a childs lifelong oral health. I look forward to meeting you and being of service.
I am a native of Chicago, Illinois. I have found Northern California to be a beautiful place and am very happy to call Sonoma County my new home. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, gardening, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. I am also a licensed yoga instructor!
I am a general dentist with a passion for working with childrenand individuals with special needs. For the past two years, I have worked with the underserved community of Northern California as part of the National Health Service Corps, and have limited my practice to helping children. Coming from a public health background, I am motivated to help educate families and children about how to be cavity free, and have positive experiences at the dentist.
Dr. Stuart enjoys spending time with his wife and two-year-old daughter exploring the beauties of Northern California. Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, he grew up enjoying all things outdoors. Dr. Stuart enjoys trail running, hiking, and pursuing a hobby of photography.
I love being a dentist. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, and the friendships that Ive built with my patients and their families are one in a million. It has always been my focus to make each patient feel at home when they come to me for treatment and I work hard to give my patients the attention they deserve.
I enjoy spending my free time outdoors. Some of my top interests are surfing, skiing, running, mountain biking and fly-fishing I also like working with my hands: building things, tying flies, and playing guitar. I value my close relationships and love spending as much time with them as possible. As a life-long learner, I am passionate about progression, no matter what Im doing.

The only dentist I'll ever take my kids. Both my sons go here and one of them is nonverbal and they are so patient with both of them. They take such good care of their patients. Also it's the cutest dentist office I've ever been too!

I wish I wanted to go to the dentist the way my kids get excited to come here. Every trip here has been a dream.

My kids love going here! Nothing is ever pushy, they make the kids laugh and explain everything in a way we all understand, and the entire staff is always very kind and welcoming. My favorite is when they say "do you have any questions?" And they actually pause and listen for a response! Would 100% recommend -- I just wish I had this team when I was a kid!

Everyone in the office is kind and professional. Jan was helpful in making a call to my insurance to see that I was being billed correctly. And both the Sebastopl and Windsor offices are so fun! I'm sure it eases some of the anxiety for many kids.

We love this office! Such a comfortable safe environment for the little ones. My son is 3 almost 4 and has been to the dentist since he was a couple months old and even with trying to accustom him to the environment of a dental office since little, he was still nervous. I decided to take him to Dr. Oliver's office at the beginning of the year and in just three months my son went from not opening his mouth for the Dr to letting him use their tools in his mouth and brush his teeth!

Dr Oliver's office is the best pediatric dentist office ever!!! Jan at the front desk is the most helpful, knowledgeable,accommodating and friendly person ever! And Dr Stuart is wonderful with my kids and is a fantastic dentist! He takes the time to explain what is going on and gives options. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist!

We really like Dr. Oliver and associate. Our son had his first appointment as a new patient and one year old with 8 teeth and 2 molars coming. We had a great experience, staff and the doctor was very friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated the positive parenting reinforcement and active care. I was a bit surprised to their welcome goodie bag, was hoping for a one-year old and first visit to get a different kind of welcome goodie bag (got - brown paper bag with baby tooth brush, small toothpaste, small floss & 2 small plastic ducks and one small plastic starfish).

I don't think words can express how amazing they are! From the moment you walk in with the front desk, to the hygienists. They are know exactly how to talk to each kiddo on their own level and make sure to make them feel comfortable. My 2.5 year old son is very reserved and hesitant with new people/places. He did not hesitate for a second, listened to their directions, and had a huge smile on his face the whole time! They even played catch with a ball he brought in after he was finished! I can't wait to go back and next time my baby will join too!
