Dr C. strikes the perfect balance of examining with dental expertise and giving your child a positive experience at every appointment. All the staff is fantastic. Makes me wish my dentist had been more like this when I was a kid!

My daughter really loves this dentistry! Her first few visits were rough, because she had to have a couple extractions, but the dentist and assistants were so kind and patient during a difficult experience for a kid. Ever since the repair work, her visits have been smooth sailing, routine cleanings. She has nothing but good things to say and gets excited for her visits. The office is very kind friendly and it's obvious they make an effort to keep the kids happy.

The entire office made the experience for my 2 year old seamless! They were on time so he wasn't getting antsy waiting, and they clearly know how to explain and encourage in age appropriate ways. Also educated me on what I should focus on for his oral health with his age in mind. So glad a friend recommended them!

We took our 18 month old here for the first time as an emergency visit. Dr. C and her staff were so accommodating and had no problem seeing him as a new patient. When we got there, the staff was friendly and welcoming. We knew we would be making Dr. C our sons primary dentist going forward and scheduled his next cleaning with her!

By far the easiest, friendliest, most knowledgeable, calm and thoughtful childrens dentist we have been to. Kind and warm staff made this the best dentist visit we have ever had. Unfortunately we have experienced many dentists both kids and adults who seem so focused on the upsell--we so appreciate Orange Childrens Dentistry for being a positive experience for kids and parents!!!

My kids went here for two years at the recommendation of another doctor. A few months after the first checkup they sent me a large surprise bill for the entire amount because they made an error and said that they didn't know that they ...
