I had taken my new born son in to see Dr. Joe for a consultation regarding a possible lip tie. Dr. Joe and his staff were absolutely amazing to deal with, very accommodating and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them!

My toddler has a tough time at the dentist, but the staff here makes it as easy and comfortable as possible. I always feel so bad taking so much of their time while my 3 year old won't even open her mouth....but they are patient and kind. Update- 4 years later, my now 7 year old had to get some work done. These people are just incredible. They have so much patience, they explain everything and give options without pressure. They also catered to my kiddos high demands .

I can't help but think that many of the good reviews are because they offer a discount to leave a good review. Mr. Joe Guido makes both of my kids extremely uncomfortable & they both refuse to go if he is their dentist. He will talk down to you & demean you in front of your children. The women dentists are better but the front desk has screwed up scheduling so many times I can't deal with it anymore. Also they push the gas on the kids big time even for small procedures. It's obvious they do it for the extra cash. Every single time I tell them my kids don't need it they act shocked. After the filling they also act shocked that my kids didn't need it at all. Come on now, your not shocked. Stop acting for the $$

My 8 month old had his first dentist appointment and the second I even scheduled it, I felt welcomed. They were nice, understanding, and explainable over the phone as well as in person. He enjoyed it a lot, everyone made us feel welcomed and loved him a lot. I will definitely be going back.

Dr. Joe and Dr. Katie are the best! The staff is extremely friendly and the office is calm and relaxed. I love that they let me hold my little girl while cleaning and caring for her smile. It makes the visit less stressful for all of us.They really go the extra mile to make my kids feel calm and comfortable. Kids love the little prize box and chapstick at the end of the visit too. We look forward to our next appointment. Thanks Mountain Kids!

We LOVE the whole staff. Extremely flexible and fun. All about the kids and they follow their lead. Waiting room is like a mini discovery center excellent for calming nerves. Didn't discourage discover of the room. Great with kids of all Ages, abilities and struggles. Fabulous at their job and extremely accommodating. We drive 3 hours round trip to see Dr. Shivaun and it is worth every minute of the drive!

We absolutely love Mountain Kids Pediatric dentistry. We first went when my son was 4 weeks old for a tongue & lip tie evaluation and have kept going back for the past 5 years. Everyone in the office from the front desk team to the dental assistants in the back are welcoming and caring. You can tell they take pride in knowing their patients and taking care of them. On our last visit we met Dr. Ihsan, who we didn't know yet, and he was so friendly and kind to my son. It seems like they just continue to find amazing people as they grow. We cannot recommend them more from tongue & lip tie evaluations through routine pediatric visits and everything in between.
