Great staff from beginning til the end. Everyone was on point with service. I had three young kids so no issues. My littlest even said "I love the dentist" as we were walking out. He had a cleaning and exams done. I definitely will be keeping them as my primary dentist. Thanks you team a bunch!

Both of my children had a fantastic visit but my in depth review comes from my toddlers visit. I was very nervous about my 2 yr old as this was his first dental visit and he's not the happiest when brushing at home. To my surprise he laid down in the open bay, did a full cleaning and exam. Thanks to KFPD for making my sons first dental visit fantastic. He is already talking about going back "to dr, get teeth cleaned".

The Dr is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. My son, 5, gets nervous and she was able to get him to do what she needed him to. That is a feat.

Love this place! Everyone is so knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to make sure my child feels comfortable. Dr Mendoza is fantastic and she's very personable, always remembers us or any stories we've talked about from previous visits. She makes us feel like we're more than just "another patient"

I want to thank Dr. Mendoza for the dental treatment for my 7-year-old son. We were informed exactly how all was going to be done and how long it would take. The doctor finished quicker than I expected, and my son was happy. The visit was on Friday, and Sunday would be Mother's Day. The staff even thought about this special day, and I received a beautiful flower. Thank you to Kids First Pediatric Dentistry for your excellent job!
