The dentist himself is wonderful. And all of the dental assistants seem to be friendly but the receptionist some of them are sort of rude and they are rude when you miss an appointment and threaten to drop your family if you miss an appointment people Miss appointments sometimes especially if you're a busy parent things happen I'm tired of feeling like just another client they drop you and then move on to the next I want to feel like we're appreciated the kids didn't do anything wrong they should care more about their patients than to just dismiss them over them missing an appointment All because they get mad if the if you don't give them a 72-hour advance on rescheduling only because someone else could have had that appointment it's all about the money to them you do one thing wrong and they'll cut you off that is not love or care

Amazing and super professional!! We had a really expensive procedure done and I had a little mixup with the insurance but the Doctor was so kind and professional about the entire ordeal. Dr. Collin was way kinder than I could've ever imagined and I wouldn't want to take my children any place else!

Dr. Kate and the staff went above and beyond for my 4 year old son. They always make him as comfortable as possible and are always so nice. Dr. Kate has gone beyond what her job entails to help my son during an emergency. I can't thank them enough for what they have done for us! I would recommend them over any other pediatric dentistry! Thank you so much to the staff!

My children have been going here since they were babies. I love their employees and the dentist. If you are looking for a place where your children will feel calm and enjoy going, a place that is clean, they are concerned with your children's health, good environment, and explains everything in detail Southern Pediatric Dentistry is the place for you!

I actually really enjoyed this office for my children however I did have a bad experience. My family and I had covid and due to the hectic nature of that I called the day of an appointment to cancel because we would not be able to make it. Unfortunately I was extremely sick and trying to take care of two toddlers. When I called last minute they said they completely understood and I would be able to reschedule. Unfortunately I received a letter in the mail that they would no longer be able to service my children due to me cancelling my appointment and that all future appointments were cancelled. I was extremely disappointed and wish they would of told me over the phone before they told me I could reschedule. I believe they could of handled this situation with much more decency and understanding. Other than this instance I had a great time at their office and my kids loved it. Therefore I'm giving three stars.

I highly recommend this dentist office. They are really sweet and caring. My daughter's have a hard time with getting their teeth cleaned but the dentist here has always made them feel less anxious and allowed them to understand what she was going to do before she did it.

It was the most traumatic experience I seen and my 4 year old daughter has been through! They were not care they just acted like she was just another mouth to work on and another paycheck the dentist was not gentle or compassionate to my frightened daughter! She said she feels no pain but clearly she felt pain and you can tell exactly the times she felt it! It's was just a horrible overall experience that no child should have to ever go through!

Well things were going great until I received a letter in the mail saying they wouldn't see my children anymore. I didn't miss any appointments and if I needed to reschedule I did it in advance. The letter didn't even express why. At my two boys last cleaning they were pretty much all done and were just waiting on dr to come take a second look they had already given my appointment card. I breastfeed and my baby was wanting to eat so I kindly told the nurse we were going to go ahead and check out which I didn't even have to do because they had already given me my next appointment cards. I was thinking all was fine bc I received the automated text like normal of their next appointment. Then I received a letter in the mail saying they refuse to see them anymore??? Can someone explain???
