Pediatric Dentistry is always on time. The staff are all friendly. The office is clean. They still limit the number of people in the waiting room which is fine by me.

The dental assistant was very call and explained everything she was doing so my 3 year old was not nervous in the least. He calmly sat and let her do everything. I was dreading going this morning because the last time he was fighting it but could have been because he was a bit younger.

I took my daughter here. this is her first time being here. It went so smoothly I couldn't believe it. The other dentist made her scared she would freak out until she left . We went today and she wants to go back tomorrow!!! I'm thinking of switching all my kids here. Btw she's 4.

My 7-year-old son was very fearful/apprehensive of having work done on his teeth and Dr. Lasser was extremely professional and patient. In the end, my son gave him a big hug and I couldn't be more relieved. All my encounters with both the front desk staff and the dental team have been very positive. Both my kids have since transferred here and they look forward to their visits - healthy teeth should be fun!
