I can't recommend this practice enough! I have been taking my kids here for years. Dr. Eryn is an outstanding dentist - she is thorough, kind, knowledgeable, and provides clear and detailed updates after every visit. The staff is fantastic as well - they are friendly, responsive, and wonderful to work with. The office is beautifully catered toward making kids feel welcome and comfortable, and the team members are experts in making the visits enjoyable for kids. Highly recommend!!

Called to get my kids seen and they won't take my kids because I'm religious exempt. My kids immunizations have nothing to do with their teeth. This is illegal no dental office should be denying your children. The fact that the only reason you can deny is if my kids have any diseases or illness, which they don't. And also the fact that it is an emergency because my child is complaining of pain in his tooth and is only 3yrs old. Yes it's an emergency. Being that my kids are healthy and it's an emergency is enough to file a claim against your practice because under the dental act your not to deny a patient seeking treatment in an emergency matter. No dental office should be asking for medical records and shouldn't be worried about medical unless it was an issue. You talking about measles. I would never take my kids into an office if I know my kids are ill. Measles cure is a simple antibiotic. And being your not a medical expert you wouldn't know other alternatives for cure.

No kid looks forward to going to the dentist, unless their going to Just for Kids! Just for Kids turns the typical uncomfortable dentist experience into a pleasant time by providing Disney movies for kids to watch as they lay back in massage chairs. They also provide a selection of flavors for toothpaste and fluoride for kids like me who don't like mint. At the end of the visit, kids get to pick a pencil, sticker, or ring to take home. The dentist are well educated and are happy to answer questions anytime. Additionally, the customer service is amazing. The receptionist at the front desk never fails to compliment my nails when I'm there. It is obvious that each person at Just for Kids takes time and effort to build a relationship with you. They don't just want you to walk out with a smile, but a clean one too! It is no secret why I have been coming here for 19 years.

I luckily found this place when my son was 2 and had major decay. We were worried he'd lose half his teeth and we had no insurance at the time. The staff at the office and dentists are both amazing. Very friendly and great with calming kids down. I call the staff often for records and they're always speedy and happy to help. Dr Erin would even sing songs. The pricing was VERY affordable, which is surprising given the amazing, top quality care provided. My son has gone there so many times, he knows everyone there and is very comfortable. For the involved procedures, they close the office and he's the only patient there to provide a calm environment for each child. Each time they take as much time as you need to explain all the treatment options, go over cost, and are treat your child with the level of care as if it were their own child. We have insurance now and drive 45 minutes to come to this office, but it's completely worth it. Everything is very sanitary and the waiting area is very kid friendly: toys, books, fish and a table loaded with children's apps. I could go on and on, but in short, I highly recommend this place.

Dr. Erin and her staff are fantastic! I have 3 small children who absolutely LOVE going to the dentist! The front desk staff are also extremely knowledgeable and helpful with billing, insurance, etc., which can sometimes be rather confusing. They are very patient and kind. I would refer them to ANYONE with small kids!
