I came in with my two kids and had the displeasure of having Veronica assist us. Her attitude is absolutely terrible. She should not be allowed to work with children. I will not be bringing my kids back here.

This is our 4th visit to this dentist and,, I have to say,, I have no complaints... Between my 5 kids,, ages 3 to 13,, they've had cleanings,, xrays,, extractions,,and crowns.. And haven't had one bad experience.. I was,, at first a bit skeptical...Because I had read the reviews and thought,, " Great,, this is going to be a problem ..." I've even been hesitant about leaving a review,, up until now,, thinking that the real is gunna get real at any moment.. But,, after today,, my 3 year olds first visit EVER to a dentist left me feeling eager to counter the bad reviews... The staff is friendly... The dentists are great with my kids and point blank with me about treatments,, which I appreciate... And the environment is inviting... I'd recommend KidZone to anyone.. Even you.. ..

First time going to this dentist, my son had a really bad experience a few years at another provider so I needed somewhere he could feel comfortable. The appointment went great! The hygienist was so kind and understanding with my kid talking her ear off, he even wanted to stop to tell me something and she brought him over. I really appreciated that. Dentist was so sweet with her bedside manner. We were in and out in less then 40 minutes. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars (I wish I could do 4.5) is because the receptionist... was very dry, she could be more welcoming.

Needed to find my son a new dentist place and I'm glad I chose this one.Very clean with professional acting staff. Treated my 9yr old with care and kindness and addressed all of mine and his concerns with no bad judgment. They are very reasonably priced even if you are on a budget. My son felt at ease with the staff. We love this place and can't wait until our next dental visit.

Too many appointments scheduled around the same time. Doesn't have adequate amount of seating for patients. Decent service provided by the employees. It will get the job done.

I had two appointments for 8am & 9am. After they confirmed appointments with me twice the week prior, during the day of, during school hours, after calling me twice (35 minutes before the second appointment time) told me because I was late for the first appointment, they couldn't see the child during the second. I told the young lady whom called me, that not seeing the first child was fine but I'd be there shortly and I would be there well before the 9am appointment. She called back and cancelled the 9 am & said it's due to short staffing.I guess she forgot what she said the first time. I asked her name, she refused to give it and the dentist name. I been going to that pediatric dentistry for years. I ain't never been treated like that. Never had a problem. They also said they would refer my oldest daughter to a general dentistry since they stopped seeing kids once they they turned 15. Problem is, my daughter is barely 14. But it's okay. Be mindful of the businesses you nourish.Calling me three times with 30 stories.Lol

Never taking my child here again. I hope others can read all the reviews before they make the mistake of taking their child to kidzone.

There aren't enough good words to describe our experiences -from cleanings and checkups to fillings for my small children. The care provided is of the upmost highest standards and quality. The staff is friendly, professional, and a joy to interact with! All around 5/5!

My kids have been going there for the past 5 years.Very friendly allways nice ,clean and with covid going on they allways go the extra mile with safety and sanitizing. I allways recommend them when friends and family ask where I go.I love that they take good care of my kids when they come for work done explaining what will happen an ask if they have any questions .My youngest has been coming here since he had six teeth and he so comfortable here he walks right to the back without me having to go so this place is a yesss forever for my kids. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
