Update: I'm leaving this office. The past couple times I went for my kids appointments the dentist talked down to me in front of my kids and her two assistants. I do not like confrontation and if you make me uncomfortable I simply will not go back. My child shouldn't feel the way she made him feel. Nor did I. She should have handled my kids fear better than that. I was shocked it was the same woman. You can tell she lost her love for her craft.....the first time she did it I was dumbfounded and simply apologized rather than what I wanted to do and ask her to speak with me in private and tell her I didn't appreciate it. Upon getting there i knew it would be a great place for my kids to go for their dental needs. Staff is friendly and professional. The dentist and her assistant were both so nice. They made us feel welcome. We had great conversation while waiting and treated my kids soooo nicely. They did a great job filling in my kids cavity. So patient. So much i could say. Just so happy we switched.

Everything about this practice is wonderful EXCEPT for the ridiculous fact that we must still wear masks and follow covid protocols (closed play place, wait outside until called up, masks, etc) Sorry this needs to change!!!

Terrible. The assistant comes in and right away starts talking about pulling a tooth right in front of my just turned 6 year old special needs daughter (which was never the plan. The appointmentwas for a filling) so of course she then has even worse anxiety about sitting in the dentist chair than she originally did thinking it was a filling. Then the dentist repeatedly called the complete wrong name until I corrected her after about the fifth time. When my daughter was being hesitant about sitting in the chair because she thought they were going to pull her tooth and because she has adhd and scensory issued which makes it hard for her to sit still at all, the dentist told her she doesn't get special treatment she needs to do it like everyone else. The whole time the dentist and the assistant were whispering to each other. Then when I was trying to talk to my daughter about sitting in the chair and letting them look at her teeth the dentist butted in and told me she thinks I need to be stern with her (instead of talking to her calmly and explaining things to her like I was) at one point my daughter handed the dentist one of her tools off the tray and she said yup those are my tools you don't need to hand them to me, and grabbed it from her. Finally I said I think we are just going to take her somewhere else and she said ok and immediately got up and walked out of the room not a question asked. Didn't apologize, didnt ask if everything was OK didn't even say bye, have a good day absolutely nothing just walked away as if we were never wanted there in the first place. You would think for being a pediatric dentist they would be trained for how to handle kids who have anxiety about the dentist. Absolutely disgusting.

Pediatric Dentist Limited is an amazing place to bring your child to start their journey to great oral health. Years ago, I was a patient and feel so grateful to bring my daughter to the same dental team that took amazing care of my teeth. They are kind and patient with my 4-year-old which makes going to the dentist a breeze. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist this is your place!

Dental Hygienist Regina did a very good job explaining to my daughter steps she was going to take and demonstrating on my daughters finger first. This helped calm my daughter down a little bit so that was positive and helpful. On the downside better signage for parking would be helpful. Ended up parking in the next parking lot over and realized it was residential when we were about to go in the office(sign is not clear which lot is for dentist and which for residential building). Had to move the car and by the time I got my toddler back in the car and went around the block again we were 15 minutes late.
