Dr. Ramirez and his team are very warm and welcoming. Dr. Ramirez is great at explaining his process and letting the kids and parents know their choices and is very thorough. I've already recommended Foothills Pediatric Dentistry to multiple family member's and friends.

My 5 year old was terrified at this office. We were told they couldn't do any work on his teeth because of the way he acted. We decided to take him somewhere else for a second opinion and also to see how he did. Not only did he get all of the work done he needed they said for his age he was an incredible patient. Foothills follows the old school rule of no parents allowed back with the children- while that works for some children it doesn't work for all.

We originally came here for a second opinion and are will be continuing to come here in the future. They were friendly and honest from the beginning. We look forward to coming back.

We have been coming to this location for years and drive up from Arvada. Kelly and the front staff is so kind, helpful and greets us with a smile every visit. Dr. Ramirez is very professional and is great with the kiddos and explains things well. My kids are always excited to go to the dentist!

Professional, patient, and great with kids. My son had surgery and they checked in with me the entire way. The doctors give plenty of face time and answer all questions.

We love this practice. My son with disabilities has seen both dentists over the last 13 years as we've moved around the front range and visited different locations. The whole team is always so patient and highly qualified. From complex surgical work to routine stuff, this is a wonderful place.

Very kind and professional staff. We've been using De. C for many years and my daughter's dental health is excellent thanks to his help (and kudos to Dr. Melcher, orthodontist).

Great visit with my four year old. She loved pretending to be the dentist after her teeth were brushed. Great staff!

Our last two visits were not great. When I asked about my concerns, I was told nothing to worry about. Then on the next visit I was told they were worrisome and now my child has two cavities. Wish I could have done something about that 6 months ago!!! And now they want to do laughing gas and I'm not allowed to be at my child's side. This is not how it was when I was a kid. I got a local, and my mom was with me. I'm considering going elsewhere.

My children have been seeing Dr. Ramirez since they were toddlers, and I can't even put into words how wonderful everyone in this office is. Whether it's been a phone call with questions for the office staff, a dental assistant's skill, kindness and patience calming a fearful child or making a treatment plan with the doctor, we have always had a great experience!

My 3 kids have been coming here for 10+ years. The office staff has always been so pleasant and kind. They even shared a sympathetic chuckle with me when I discovered my 6 year old daughter stuck a blue ring pop in her mouth while I was filling out the pre-visit info. I was horrified, Her mouth was totally blue! Dr. Ramirez has always taken his time going through x-rays and explaining what's going on or what to watch for. Very patient and so knowledgeable. My daughter asked him what fluoride was today and he spent about 5 minutes explaining it as if he had a whole classroom of kids! He's just the best!! I highly recommend this dental practice!
