Pediatric dentistry has held a special place in my heart ever since graduating from dental hygiene school in 2013 when I began working with Dr. Jenkins! I love gaining a childs trust and building relationships with the entire family. I never take for granted the immense responsibility and opportunity I have to impact a child in a positive way. As a mom of two boys, I love when parents recognize that I care about their child as my own and I always go the extra mile for each unique child.
I have worked in pediatric dentistry since graduation from dental hygiene school in 2019. I have always enjoyed working with kids and getting to see them grow over time. My favorite part about pediatric dentistry is the variety that each child brings to the table. I love being able to provide children with the environment and comfort that they need to have a successful dental visit whatever that may mean for them.
I have worked in pediatric dentistry since my graduation from dental hygiene school in 2013. Since I havent worked in general dentistry, I cant necessarily compare the two, but I can tell you this I can guarantee they dont have near as much fun as we do!! Working in pediatrics brings an energy and unpredictability to my days that I love so much. The kids keep us on our toes and keep us laughing, which helps us take life a little less seriously. I absolutely love the fun chit chat with the kiddos and their families, but I also strive to build trusting relationships with them. I find it so rewarding to build a childs confidence in us, and to transform an anxious child and make them excited to come back for future visits. I love working with children and laying a positive foundation for dental experiences to come. I strongly believe that these experiences, alongside helping them form healthy habits at home, can help shape them into adults who actually ENJOY going to the dentist.

This is an amazing office. My son who has special needs, had to go under anesthesia due to high anxiety and they did their absolute best to make him comfortable while also not not making me feel out of place. There was plenty of kicking and screaming, and they handled it very well, and made every possible accommodation. I highly recommend this office to anyone who has multiple kids or has a kid that needs accommodations

I love Dr. Jenkins she is wonderful with my kids. The staff that answers or not answer the phone is another question. Management needs to do a lot of rearranging when it comes to the front office staff. Inconsistent, will not answer the phone. Do not call back if you leave a voicemail. Will rush you off the phone when they do answer. So, I will be moving my kids back to Leblanc. I really don't want to do it but I need reliability.

Excellent service! My 1-year-old was treated as a child first, and a patient second: each staff member took their time to allow him to warm up to them first before doing anything dental related. They have a large, family-friendly lobby area with toys, tvs showing Disney movies, and other things in place to keep kids distracted and happy while parents can fill out paperwork or do other tasks (video games were available pre-pandemic). There's also a fancy coffee bar for the parents and a convenient family-size bathroom. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes, yet did not feel rushed in any way. Both the hygienist (Stella) and doctor (Dr. Gandhi) took their time to ask questions, truly listen, and offer advice and encouragement. Lots of great info on their website and socials, too!! Thanks so much!! Looking forward to our next appointment. :)

We were so impressed with the entire staff at Jenkins! We discovered Jenkins was out of network for us when we arrived, but decided to go ahead anyway and I am so glad we did. We will be able to put the kids on my husbands plan for our next visit. Everyone was so friendly and informative. My child is so excited to floss and I attribute that to our visit.

The front desk is always friendly. The staff took great care of my 5 year old. She needed anesthesia for multiple issues, and they were so patient with us while explaining everything. Even the person who handled our checkout and payment (the least favorite part) was super sweet! Just a great team!!

My daughter took her children to Jenkins and LeBlanc since they were old enough to go. She probably had 2 at that time. Now there are 5 of them, she is deceased now. I kept up the tradition. Every 6 months and other appt as needed. One of them will age out in June. 1 down and 4 to go.

They said they accept my insurance. My daughter is young and needed to be put under for dental work. Jenkins office told me it would be about $350 for the anesthesiologist. We couldn't get an appointment for two months. Then, 4 days before the procedure we get a text from the anesthesiologist saying we have to pay them $1,100 in 3 days or the procedure will be cancelled. Our daughter has waited two months to get an appointment while in constant pain and now suddenly don't accept my insurance. We called the anesthesiologist office and they apologized that Jenkins did not inform us of this fact. We called Jenkins and they said call the anesthesiologist cause that was a front desk problem. Jenkins office could have let us know for two months but they didn't.Then they told us it was a front office problem. This is a very unprofessional office. I would not recommend it!
