Happy KiDDS is the experience you want for your children and your family! Everyone is a pleasure to experience! The administration staff is patient, helpful, and efficient. The hygienists put your kids comfort first while doing an excellent job of explaining to the parents and the kids what is happening, why it's happening, and what to do going forward. The language used is thoughtful and sensitive to young ears, careful to avoid scary terms or buzz words that might be repeated later and lead to embarrassment. And the doctors! Oh my gosh the doctors! We had a troubling issue come up after a visit and over the weekend. We thought we were stuck waiting until Monday, but nope. Dr. Shah was able to see us on Saturday and Dr. Mindy Homer was so attentive throughout the weekend. Calling multiple times to check up with us and keep us updated on next steps. We felt so cared for and truest feel like Dr. Mindy made us part of her family. Thank you to the entire Happy KiDDS family!!!

Happy KiDDS is wonderful! Everyone on staff is very kind and takes the time to explain information and answer questions from nervous kiddos. We never feel rushed, and we've had wonderful dental care as well, including for some tricky situations. Great find!

Super friendly, super professional, super experienced, Dr. Mindy saved my son's teeth over a dozen years ago, gave us solid tips on nutrition and dental care, and fabulous specialists when his wisdom teeth needed to come out. No unnecessary dental work - she told me he didn't need braces. Fast forward and my son is 20 years old now, great teeth, still no cavities. We just had our saddest day bidding farewell to Happy Kidds as he has aged out, but the impact Dr. Mindy has had in his life and health will last a lifetime.

When your 5 year old leaves his appointment saying, "that was nothing but fun", you know you hit the pediatric dentist jackpot! My older son has been a patient for the past 12 years, and loves the practice just as much. As a parent, I couldn't be happier!
