The nurse practitioner was not very great i feel. Usually all nurses we have been to before have been sweet and extra friendly with kids . She sounded a bit loud and blunt . She was not gentle enough due to which my kid's gums had bleeding and are inflamed now . All our past services have been much better than this one. My review is not for the location, we are still happy with all doctors but just this visit was not satisfying only due to the nurse .

If you a person of color especially pregnant take your child to Trussville urgent care. These ppl turned me and my very sick son away JUST BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR MEDICAID INFORMATION. I Offered to pay the stupid 80 dollars and he refunded back later. They said no . They sent me and my coughing kid out the door. Reported them to alaba medical examiner

My son has a wonderful experience at this dentist place. He is always afraid of going to the dentist. However, the dental assistant, Kirla, is extremely patient and gentle with my son. She explained everything in details and gave him his favorite sticker & balloon. We would love to have Ms. Kirla again next time. Dr. Santiago is great too. She went over the treatment with me & answered all of my questions & concerns. I am so glad that I found the right dentist place for my son.

My kids always have great experience here. Angel and Kiria are amazing, I love the way they treat children, every time they can't wait for their upcoming check ups. Doctors here are very professional and take the best care for any dental problem.

The staff are so incredibly friendly and good with the kids. My girls are 4yo and 2 yo and they look forward to their dentist visits and the goodies they get afterwards. My 4 yo had dental work done and Dr. Amy called to check on her after, such a caring person!

So I called my dentist today to tell them my sons tooth is coming in but his baby tooth still there and not loose, and I would like to book an appointment for the dentist to take a look. The receptionist jumps in like she is the doctor to tell me that is very common and only sometimes they need to remove the tooth. So I tell her that is fair and worth a visit so I don't have to wait in case is too late. So I asked her to book my sons an appointment. She gets bothered and tell me the closest they can see my son is July 19, almost two month from today. I tell her that July 19 it will be obviously to late. She said if he is not in pain there is nothing they can do for my son, so I asked her, if I called tomorrow and say that he is in pain am I going to see a dentist sooner? She said no and if I have concerns I should take my son to an ER, I tell her that is absurd and I need to hang up because I am extremely upset and I don't t want to take that on her. She go ahead and tell me nothing but an ironic "have a nice day!" This is not the treatment that a mother that is only concern for their kid should get. Also is not fair that they don't organize their schedule for this kind of emergency and acts like we are bothering them when this happens. I being taking my kid to this practice since he is 2 but looks like is time for a change.

We LOVE Main Street Pediatric Dentistry!! We drive to Pleasanton from San Lorenzo specifically to see Marianna and Dr Amy. I couldn't imagine my kids going anywhere else. As long as we are within driving distance, this is where we will stay! I love them so much, I wish they would see me

We went for my 3-year old's first dentist visit. The staff were professional, friendly and engaging. We got teeth checked up, learned dental hygiene and had fun! Would recommend whoever don't want their kiddo get traumatized during a dental visit
