Dr. Alina is honored to be part of the Kids Pediatric Dentistry family and to work with her mother, Dr. Lisi. Both Dr. Lisi and Dr. Alina have been dreaming of this day for the longest time! Dr. Alina grew up watching Dr. Lisi bring passion and love to all of her patients, and she hopes to do the same.

Together, Dr. Lisi and Dr. Alina will be able to help more children whether it be for an emergency or for routine dental needs. They hope to continue to make each experience fun and non-threatening so that the children will walk out of the office with a big smile on their face.

We've been going to Dr. Lisi for 14 years, and wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff is so child-focused and show great expertise in making their patients comfortable. That is truly their first priority, and they use so many strategies. We've moved out of state and out of the country, and have never seen another pediatric dentist demonstrate the expertise or care that Dr. Lisi or Dr. Alina show.

I have taken both my boys to see Dr. Lisi for the past 12 years, after having a bad experience at another office. The whole team is compassionate, caring and understanding about the needs of children. They do everything in their power to make my kids comfortable (and me too!) and make sure we understand what's going on every step of the way. I trust Dr. Lisi and Dr. Alina wholeheartedly and highly recommend them and their whole team!

What an amazing experience! Everyone was so kind and helpful throughout the entire visit... they definitely put the patient first but don't forget to include the parent as part of the patient experience... Dr Alina is the best... so thorough in her explanation of EVERYTHING not to mention she was open to all questions and answered everything -- I 100% recommend this clinic to any parent looking or needing dental care for their kids. You won't be disappointed

What a wonderful first time experience! Everyone was so kind and helpful, from the initial paperwork to the exam itself. Kids Pediatric Dentistry was so good with my daughter and made us feel comfortable. They came highly recommended to me and now I am happy to recommend them as well!

Highly do not recommend. Was offered to extract 3 teeth with full anesthesia for 7 yo. When the kid sits and let's doctors work. Initially was given an imitation of choice, when asked for an option without full anesthesia was let go find another place. And I did find it, just in 2 visits with laughing gas 2 of 3 teeth were saved. Now child is 9 yo and I highly sorry for those, who goes thru such dentists like Dr Lizi and Dr Alina. Who chooses not the best for child but easiest approach for them.
