The people at Pediatric Dentistry of Salem are so fantastic with kids! After we left, my 3 year old daughter asked if we can go back again soon!

I just took my 3 year old here for the first time today and we had such a lovely experience! The office was clean, organized, kid-friendly, and welcoming. Emily, the dental hygienist, and Dr. Wolff were both kind, informative, and helped my nervous little guy feel at ease. My son was very excited about the goodie bag he got at the end of the appointment . Looking forward to our next appointment already!

As a Mom and a Pediatrician, I LOVE this office! My children, who get very nervous about the doctor's office/dental office, do so well here! Everyone is welcoming, patient and put my kids right at ease. They actually look forward to going now! I also recommend this office to all of my patients!

My children and I love this office! Everyone is so friendly and the care is excellent. The doctors and hygienists know how to work calmly with wiggly children and they get their work done well. My children love the staff, fish tank, and toys. They are always excited to go here!

We had an amazing experience today with Dr. Dickerson and his awesome dental assistant. My four year old had two small cavities and they were so gentle with her. The assistant explained what they would do ahead of time and let her touch the "whirly brush" that would take the cavity away. She stayed calm and allowed them to fill the two spots. She did not need Novocain since they were small. I wish I had these dentists when I was a kid. Might not fear going myself now! Totally recommend both dentists at this practice.

Today was our first visit. We switched from another local pediatric dentistry office due to concerns with professionalism when it comes to treating kids who feel anxious during dental appointments. Pediatric Dentistry of Salem was amazing. We couldn't be happier! Everyone was so nice and courteous. We are very satisfied with our new choice.

Both the Pediatric Dentist and the Orthodontist office at this location are 5 star. I have two children one that is fearful and the other that is fearless, the staff is hands down amazing. They have all the latest technology which makes for a quick and painless experience

My children had wonderful experiences here but this is the VERY last time I will allow the receptionist to be that condescending and rude to me. I know full well the conversation would have gone differently if she had come right out and asked what insurance I had... what a VERY rude woman.
