I feel truly blessed to have been able to fulfill my lifelong dream of making a difference in the lives of children on a daily basis. I constantly strive to maintain a high standard of care for my patients and my intent is that all professional care delivered at my office will be of the best possible quality my staff and I can provide for each patient. I try to obtain cooperation from children by the use of humor, friendliness, persuasion, gentleness, silliness, kindness, and understanding.
Our pediatric dental practice is a specialty practice. Our mission is to provide excellent pediatric dental care and we constantly strive to be the most comprehensive and highly skilled pediatric dental practice. We are expressly dedicated to protecting the dental health of children. Our services in children's dentistry include monitoring growth and development, preventive techniques, restorative procedures, and behavioral management. We treat healthy children as well as children and adults with special needs.
The environment of our office should be fun and pleasant where our patients know that we are happy, satisfying, and gratifying in the work we provide. Most important, we love children, and we believe it is our responsibility to foster a positive dental experience for all of the children. Parents of our patients trust our office and we should do nothing to lessen the implicit trust that parents have in our office.
Our state-of-the-art facility provides excellent pediatric dental care in Evansville, Indiana. I am pleased that you have chosen us to provide quality dental care for your child. As a pediatric dentist, I have advanced specialty training in clinical dentistry for infants, children and adolescents, early childhood development, child psychology, behavior management and growth and development. I have carefully selected a well-trained team to assist knowledgeably in clinical procedures and to relate warmly and positively to our young patients and their parents.
What makes our office different is that no one will take more time or effort than me and my staff to ensure that your child's first visit is enjoyable and ALL of your questions are answered. We like to see you and your child enter with a smile and leave with a brighter one. Our goal is to have every child leave knowing that they don't need to be afraid to visit our office. We take every measure to relieve any apprehensions they may have.
Our expertise, along with our ability to communicate with your child, will help instill good oral hygiene practices early in their life and teach them how to focus on prevention. By focusing on prevention and by practicing proper oral hygiene, many problems never even get started, which lowers your costs and the frequency of their visits to our office.
We have a fun and friendly atmosphere. Everything in our office is designed to help alleviate a child's apprehension about going to the dentist. Our office is a brightly colored, whimsical office that will surely help put your child at ease. It is a place where they can enjoy playing with the toys, books, a train table, a miniature kitchen, a basketball goal, several video games, or just watching a movie.

I have two boys one who is 5 and one that is 3. My three year old is special needs and has a difficult time with dentist offices. They were so wonderful with both my boys. The dentist was patient and had different methods to make each of them comfortable. They answered any questions that I had. I will recommend them to many of my friends. Thanks for making our experience worth a hour n half drive.

My daughter broke her front tooth completely in half. This happened on a Friday (after hours). We called in to inform the situation about our daughter and the dentist showed up in 30 minutes. Dentists take off work just like everyone else. This Dentist came in because he cares about his patients.

We were referred to here for dental work for my 7 year old daughter. We waited over 1 hour and finally left because they still did not have a room for her. They said there are only 2 rooms for parents to go back with child. Our appointment was at 2 pm and at 3:10 pm we still had not been out of waiting room. I had to take her out of school. And wasted my day off. Now I will be finding another dentist because we were not even seen. So unprofessional!!!

BE WARE , All they care is about making money for themselves by keeping customers in shadows. I took my 5 year old child here, they advised to go for multiple cavity treatment. I showed them my insurance card and gave insurance detail, asked them clearly if their treatment would be covered under my insurance , to which they confidently replied that they have checked the details and hence confirm that treatment was covered. Later after several months I get a bill from my insurance company stating they are not covering the expenses , now when I ask Pediatric dentistry that why did they confirmed to me that my insurance had it covered, they have no answer for me. I have to now shell out 1k amount out of my pocket :-( :-( :-(.

Disappointed, they seen my daughter today and rushed us out, didn't even clean her teeth, and put us 2 months out for dental work!!! Not worth the time!! Calling Kool Smiles to get her teeth fixed.
