I took my both toddlers for there regular check up and I loved it. The staff was very friendly and professional as well as the doctor. Nice atmosphere, clean establishment. Regular wait time.

A month ago I took my child to get a tooth taken out and when they were done my child was all urinated possibly from the pain. Now a month later he has a bump on his right cheek and very swollen. Most likely the dentist injured a nerve with the anesthesia. I Will take him back to his dentist to see what's going on. I'll never take any of my kids there again. As a pediatric dentist he's horrible.

He is truly the worst dentist ever!!! I wish I would've seen the reviews before paying out of pocket for his cheap dental work. Dr. Dove more like Dr. Goofy literally sent my daughter back with her front teeth chipped!! Therefore, this caused me to take my daughter to her assigned dentist for a check up & was informed that Dr. Dove did not do the procedure correctly (did not attempt to leave her teeth straight). As a result, my daughter is being referred to a specialist (one that can actually do the job correctly & has good reviews). The dental assistants are a joke & cover up for the dentist hence, they pretend like he is a great dentist when unfortunately he's not. Moreover, he brags about having 30 years of experience but yet his first resort is using restraint and a mouth prop with all these damm years he claims he has he needs to learn better techniques when dealing with children as young as toddlers!! He even admitted himself that he uses restraint on these poor children. Dr. Dove needs to take some type of training or simply retire from this profession because 30 years of abuse is not ok & clearly these past review prove that he's been getting away with this for a long time! Furthermore, with Covid going on they don't have any safety protocols in place (people are not encouraged to social distance). My other child came out with a stretched mouth goes to show that he was being tortured in there with that stupid mouth prop method they use claiming it is comfortable and safe but in reality it's painful and causes bruising & makes a child's cheeks really swollen. DO NOT GO HERE!! Unless you want to end up in a confrontation with this rude & unprofessional dentist.

I personally did a working interview with this dentist. I left sick to my stomach. I saw first hand how he treats kids who cry. He even put straps over one little boys eyes. Any assistant that can work with him and endure seeing such abuse, are as sick and twisted as he is. He should have lost his license a very long time ago. They don't allow you back for a reason people.

I was wrong about this place, first visit was pleasant. Unfortunately that was it. I should have been concerned with the bad reviews from the beginning

My nephew came here and they left a red mark that bruised because they held him down to tight. They should of stopped. Maybe continued on another date. Or schedule for him to be put to sleep. It's been reported to my sister social worker.

Very thankful! It is very difficult to find a pediatric dentist to work on an 11 year old autistic kid.

Horrible abusive doctor. Will never forget the experience. Do not reccomend to you or any children unless you wish to be able to hear their screams from outside of the building. He needs to be stopped.

Doctor Dove is Awesome! He let me know the last dentist only did patch work. He is also going to fix my 3yr olds teeth with sedation the correct way. Im so glad I came to Kinder Pediatric, Dr Dove and his staff are kid friendly and do amazing work.
