My kid loves going to the dentist. Lollipop made my son's first experience very exciting and fun. The staffs were super friendly and gentle towards the little ones. There are many cool features that made their experience more pleasant and less scary such as tablets in the waiting area, cool sunglasses and tv mounted to the ceiling. After the visit, they get a quarter for the vending machine which all the kids look forward to.

The last person in charge was very good at relieving my son's anxiety and treating him, but this time it was a new person in charge. They need more training on how to deal with children, how to explain in a way that doesn't scare them, their tone of voice, etc. My son was scared and traumatized because she was an expressionless personality

Great clinic! Staff has always been super nice, professional, great at follow up, and very supportive. It's hard to find a place that has the medical expertise you want while also catering to the needs of kids, but this place definitely does it! They are amazing at working with kids and explaining things at their level. My daughter also loves the TVs on the ceilings and the various prizes you can get after each appointment.
