Took my grandson for his first dental visit - the hygienist and doctor were so amazing and patient with him! They really took the extra time to explain everything they were going to do and while they were doing it too! Such a wonderful experience and Santino was super excited to add his FISH to the No Cavity Club board !

It was a nice first experience for me and my son. Even though there were tears as expected, they were very nice, caring, and patient. Just be careful pulling out of the parking lot. Pull out slower than slow.

My son left with pain after visit. They also charged exorbitant fees. I highly recommend you use another dentist for your child

Mari and Dr Mike were truly wonderful and really knew what it meant to connect and build trust with our three year old! We love this place. From the moment we walked in, our daughter was greeted with kindness joy and friendliness from every single person. They were organized and prepared. Every single person knew what it meant to truly engage and interact with tiny human beings and create a comfortable welcoming environment. We are filled with joy and relief - we turned to pediatric dental associates after a series of negative and traumatic experiences with another dental group.
