Dr. Carlos Mohamed is proud to be a native Texan! Born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, Dr. Mohameds roots run deep in our community. He is a graduate from both Our Lady of Sorrows and Memorial High School. After graduating from Memorial, Dr. Mohamed attended the prestigious Trinity University in San Antonio where he met his now lovely wife, Paulina (little did he know, marrying Paulina would not only bring him three wonderful children, but the BEST office manager EVER!).
Continuing his San Antonio educational pursuits, Dr. Mohamed earned both his doctorate degree and certificate in pediatric dentistry from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. As if graduating cum laude with a distinction in research was not enough, he voluntarily completed a Masters in Public Health focusing his research on ensuring adequate access to care for underserved Texas communities.
In his free time, Dr. Mohamed enjoys spending time with his family. He is a self-proclaimed South Texas Pitmaster and if youre lucky, he may share some of his delicious BBQ that he often makes for his staff as a token of appreciation for their hard work.

(Translated by Google) Excellent and professional, they treated my daughter very well and I also loved that they kept me informed at all times and worried if I was comfortable because I had my baby with me apart. Thanks to the whole team, the place is very nice and clean, without a doubt. I recommend with my eyes closed I do not change these dentists for anyone I am happy to have chosen them as the dentists who will take care of my girls' little teeth THANK YOU (Original) Excelentes y profesionales a mi hija la trataron super bien y a mi tambien me encanto que en todo momento me tenian informada y se preocupaban si estaba agusto porque tenia aparte a mi bebe conmigo Gracias a todo el equipo el lugar muy bonito y limpio sin duda alguna los recomiendo con los ojos cerrados no cambio por nadie a estos dentistas estoy feliz de haberlos escogido como los dentistas que cuidaran de los dientecitos de mis ninas GRACIAS

Can't say enough good things! After a horrible experience at another dentist, we've had great visits at Growing Smiles! No tears, so gentle and patient with my high anxiety kid. Hard to find honest and conservative approach to pediatric dentistry in the valley! Quick efficient service as well!

(Translated by Google) Very satisfied with Growing Smile Children's Dental, they always give excellent treatment to the children, they make them feel safe and they always explain everything in detail to one of the parents so that one understands what the problem is that the child brings, I recommend it whenever I can with my friends (Original) Muy satisfecha con Growing Smile Children's Dental siempre dan un excelente trato a los ninos los hacen sentir seguros y a uno de padre siempre le explican todo a detalle para que uno entienda cual es el problema que trae el nino yo lo recomiendo siempre que puedo con mis amistades

No professionalism. No consent was given for X-Rays and the "doctor" still instructs the assistant to take several X-rays. Money (in my case- a chance to Bill my insurance) is more important to these people than your family or their health. They talk nice, but you're just potential dollar signs to them.

We have had a great experience with all the doctors at Growing Smiles. My son has autism and they are so patient and compassionate with him. He is so anxious going into the clinic and he leaves so happy. I'm so grateful for them! They are amazing!

Please hire competent employees to provide information to your patients. Your front office staff needs to be trained on insurance in and out of network. They provide inaccurate information, and it is not doing your business any justice, nor is it providing a trusting relationship with your patients. I'll be taking my children elsewhere.

Dr. Mohamed is an incredible dentist! Apart from being very professional and kind, he was great with my son. The entire team at Growing Smiles is incredibly organized, professional, and amazing with kids. They went above and beyond to make sure that we received the best care possible and that my son's visit was enjoyable. As a parent who has already gone to a couple of other dentists to find the best dental care for my son, I can honestly say that they are the best at what they do.

The one thing I look for is how comfortable my children are in the office. Time and time again...the office staff and Dr. Mohamed are hands down the absolute BEST! From the time we walk in till the time we leave, we are treated like family and that is something that is priceless! So thank you!

Growing Smiles was well worth the wait! I had to wait a month before my daughters first appointment, but luckily she has not gotten her first tooth yet so I agreed to wait. I'm very thankful I did because my daughter was so happy during her appointment and was not scared at all! The staff and Dr. Siedow were so friendly and careful with her. I look forward to keeping her care with them.

Honestly, the best dentistry ever, since day one Dr. Siedow has been very professional, and has given me every tip and has been very detailed with me about my baby's teeth. As a first time mother we appreciate all the new information we could possibly need. Thank you Dr. Siedow and his team for being the best they can be. CHRISTMAS 2021
