My experience at splash dentistry was awesome. As soon as I came in they knew my child by first name. All of the staff was warm and welcoming and took their time to fully explain everything to me. They helped my child to feel safe and comfortable I was very satisfied with the services I received.

When this Dentist office was ran by Dr. Bazos, I had NO issues until new management came along. The staff and manager did not do their due diligence and covered it up by lying. Issue: It was recommended that my teenagers get sealents (never brought up by pervious dentist-owner Dr. Bazos). My children did not have cavities, I deemed the sealants unnecessary, the dental office wanted to proceed with the sealants during their appt on 2/15/2021 appointment. I had a concern for coverage, Dr. Gandarillas was fully aware, I postponed the procedures and asked the dental office to confirm, hence, why I schedule the sealant procedures less than 30 days from their 2/15 appointment. The dental office confirmed my children were covered 100% and reiterated that the procedure was necessary, therefore, I proceeded. I ended up receiving a bill for $360. When I disputed this matter with the manager of the dental office, Kelly, she advised that she would look into the call log, and even blamed the representatives from my insurance company for not providing accurate data when they called to verify insurance information...how is this not baffling? They deceived me...verbally told me incorrect information, blamed it on my dental insurance's representatives. I refused to pay. Instead of them eating the cost due to their negligence - misinformation, they sent me to collections, now, I'll be looking in to legal action

Exceptional place to bring your child for dental service! My daughter had 3 cavities and was worries how the procedure would go. Fortunately, the staff put my concerns to ease after listening to them explain the whole process and assured me that they are experienced dealing with these type of cases. Dr. Vicky and her team were amazing to watch and their friendly interaction made the experience very comfortable for my daughter. They managed to get all 3 cavities out within an hour!! Super impressed by their work and will definitely go back!!

Their office did a wonderful job caring for my 5 year old daughter. We had tried to have the cavities address without sedation, but it was too much for her at this age. We were afraid it would be a traumatic experience going this route, but it was the complete opposite. She does not remember anything and was in no pain after the procedure. She says she went to the 'dentist and fell asleep playing with the toys'. The nurses and anesthesiologist were also wonderful. They patiently explained everything and made sure I was comfortable before taking her back. They also took a few moments before to connect with my daughter and ask her about her doll; she willing went back with them without even thinking twice or saying bye to me. Fantastic experience overall; considering it is something no parent wants to do.

They were so amazing with my daughter. She goes to the dentist every 6 months and believe it or not it's challenging to bring her. Not so much for the cleaning it's the taste that she cries so much for. The technician we had today was so amazing and so patient rinsing her mouth out constantly per each section. Also Dr. Vicky is one of the sweetest dentist I've ever ment. She is so humble and sweet that at first I didn't even know she was the doctor. She spoke to is like she was family. Also having familiar faces at the front desk after the change of owners has been warming. To be honest I am even more happier now then I was previous. Would recommend this place to anyone especially if you're child has special needs!!

The office is clean & organized, staff are very nice, and doctor is great, makes the fillings & time go by easy for the LO with silly jokes & is also very caring! The kids will actually ask to go back to the dentist because they love it there so much. They also have an awesome reinforcement wall FULL of surprises that the kids can choose at the end of their visit. Great idea !

Really amazing! My sensory challenged 7 yo who cries anytime she's separating from me went into the dental office just fine. I asked afterwards and she loved the experience (she had procedure under sedation). Exceeded my expectations!

Dr. Vicky and her staff are amazing. I have been taking my 10 and 4 yr old for a couple of yrs now. My little one has sensory issues and they have always been professional and most of all compassionate about the situation. Last visit my little one got so comfortable with them she let them do X-rays, a cleaning and a full exam and she came out so happy. I so glad we didn't had to pin her down to to the exam. The office is always clean, the staff is always friendly making sure we have the six month appointment scheduled, followed by reminder phone calls and txt. It's great I could not be more happy to trust the dental health of my girls to them. Thank you so much! Andrea.

Great experience for our autistic 4 yrs old. It was his first dental visit and though he at times had a hard time following verbal directions they were able to gently get X-rays from him and perform a cleaning. Very impressed and happy. We will be coming back. Thank you so much for a great first visit
