As a child, I was a patient of Dr. Trupkins. It was always my dream to one day join the PDO family. 9 years ago, that dream came true as I started my internship here and continued working part time, until recently I joined the best team around, full time, and couldnt be happier. Outside of work, I enjoy spending my time with my boyfriend, 3 beautiful children, and bonus son. We love going to the beach, park, movies, and cant leave out my favorite hobby: eating!

The staff, medical team, and environment at PDO is above and beyond any expectation for a pediatric dental practice. The care, time, and expertise they provide to our child makes every appointment a breeze. An added bonus is having the incredibly talented orthodontist practice combined with the dentistry in one office. The practitioners spend time explaining plan of care with the families, make every child feel like the only one in the office, and the dental support staff feels like family. We drive from Palm Beach County for this boutique practice. Highly highly recommend!

Once again...PDO was awesome. Our son has been going to Dr. Abby and PDO from the beginning. The staff was super, as usual. Dr. Jen was amazing, an incredible addition to the PDO. Thank you for giving our son the confidence to NOT be afraid of the dentist.

I can not say enough about this practice. From the moment you walk into the front door to the moment you leave, everyone is amazing. They have an arcade room, selfie booth, and a prize box. My kid's love coming here, they no longer have a fear of the dentist and actually ask to go to the dentist now. Thank you again for taking such great care of my kids.

This place is amazing. Everyone is friendly and they were so helpful putting my nervous son at ease and repairing his chipped tooth. They kept both of us informed through the whole process. Such a refreshing change from our old dentist.

Phenomenal! The team, the environment, and the care are all phenomenal! Of all days, my 5 year old woke up screaming with "tooth" pain. We typically go to Jacaranda smiles, but they're not open on Saturdays. I think I called maybe 20 offices and couldn't get anyone to see her today. The team here, called me back and got her in instantly. We were seen in minutes and they went above and beyond to care for us. But the best part is, that not only is this place open on Saturdays, but it's actually an amazing office! Better than any dentist clinic I've ever taken my kids too. I'm so glad we found you guys! Will definitely switch over to them for all of our dental needs. From the bottom of my heart, thank you guys.

I would like to say thank you to the goodhearted staff of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. My daughter, who is special needs, has been going to this exceptionally benevolent practice for several years. The staff has taken great care to accommodate her every needs by bending over backwards to make sure they are met. Michelle, her hygienist, has always been quite laser focused on the mission at hand, and achieves this task by being, true to her form, kind-hearted, gentle and patient. Dr. Denis Trupkin, and his remarkable support staff, Dawn, Ashley, Christina and Angelica are truly outstanding professional individuals with an angelic touch to their demeanors. I can always count on them to do whatever it takes to make sure the office visits are stress free as possible for both me and my daughter. Pediatric Density and Orthodontics has reached "Platinum" status, from my perspective, because of their astounding professionalism, customer service and their innate desire to treat their patients as their extended family. Thank you guys. T. Brown(TAB)

All three kids had their cleanings and we all had a wonderful experience. The hygienist are kind and detailed. The dentist takes his time with each child. The entire process from check in to check out was great. My kids love getting their photo taken and picking out a toy and the game room in the waiting area. I would have never imagined going to the dentist would be a fun experience for my kids. They do a great job at this place and my kids love going to the dentist!

Michelle has been my hygienist for years and she is absolutely amazing; she always makes me feel comfortable when I'm there and makes my experience so much better. She actually came with me on her day off when I had to get my wisdom teeth out because of how nervous I was. Michelle goes above and beyond for her patients and it shows. I am so thankful to have this kind of relationship with my hygienist, and all the hygienists and dentists here put their patients first just like Michelle does as their company culture is all about patient satisfaction and comfort. I would highly recommend Michelle as a hygienist, I truly can't say enough positive things about her.

Possibly a little overdue on bringing my daughter in for the first time, but unfortunately, we had a slight accident and we didn't have an option. needless to say, from the moment I had first contact with PDO, it was amazing! Ashley and Dawn were extremely comforting and helped ease my concern for the worst. I was able to get in the following day ( excellent feeling) to see Dr. Blair. From the moment I walked in the door, it was a warm welcoming feeling for the entire family. The entire staff worked with each other if help was warranted and had a smile the entire time ( Tanya and Melissa) missed a few names. I wish I had Dr Blair's patience.... overall... HIGHLY RECOMMEND
