Staff and Dr's at Westfield Pediatric dental group are all amazing! Always helpful and says hi to the kids every time. We have been coming for 9 years now and Dr. Chang has been the only dentist my children have ever seen. He is great with the kids, explains to the parents what's going on when something arises and overall he is a genuinely nice person.

Pathetic front desk who did not even notice the changes to the insurance details upfront. They have a bad support system and the person on the billing team was rude and robotic. Never ever will I visit this office and would strongly encourage my friends and family to think twice!

We LOVE the Westfield Pediatric Dental Group!! My 2 year old daughter loves to go to the dentist thanks to Dr. Walk and her staff. They are always so kind, warm and will go above and beyond to make both her and us comfortable. Thank you all for being so wonderful. As the little one says, "We love the Dr. Dentist!"

Dr. Walk and the whole team there are amazing. My daughter is super anxious when it comes to anything medical and she just left there all smiles after having had 2 fillings. Straight out miraculous and I could not be more grateful to them for their over the top care and understanding. 5 stars is not enough.

The most amazing pediatric dentist office! My 6 year old son has had so much anxiety about his teeth and visiting the dentist ever since he began losing his baby teeth. After a few failed attempts at cleaning his teeth at another pediatric practice in town, we decided to change things up and come here, and I'm so glad we did. Dr. McCabe and his hygienist Martha were absolutely amazing, kind and patient with him... and most importantly, got the job done! Dr. McCabe even called later that day to check on my son to see how he was doing after his visit. A wonderful place with a wonderful staff... you won't be disappointed.

Best pediatric dentistry ever!! My daughter has a hard time with the dentist almost all the time. This place is very patient, understanding, and knows exactly what to say to calm her down or get the job done fast to not prolong the process. If your child has a big fear with dentists this is the place to go. Staff is very friendly and welcoming!

First time patient: Amazing experience from entry to exit. I called with an emergency for my 7 year old son. The office took the information over the phone and made us an appt for same day. Everyone in the office provides a warm and welcoming environment. The office is clean with and underthe sea theme upon entry and safari theme upstairs-very child friendly. I am very happy to have chosen Dr. McCabe and his team. You will be as well!

I just left the office and the staff here is nothing short of amazing. Everyone that worked with me was kind and compassionate towards me. It was my first dentist visit alone, so needless to say I was nervous. But the staff that helped me made me feel comfortable and encouraged me during the entire process!!

Dr. Walk was absolutely amazing, as was her Dental Assistant! Our daughter is about 2.5 years, and we had NO idea how well this was actually going to go. The office itself was a wonderland of visuals and toys, immediately easing our daughter. They have a TV on the ceiling above the dental chair that makes laying back actually attractive for the kids! Dr. Walk was so great with explaining things to both myself and my daughter, and super helpful with ideas on how to ween our daughter off the pacifier. Overall, I was truly amazed by how well this visit went!

Today my husband and I brought our 18 mo. Old and 3.5 yr old to the Westfield Pediatric Dental. What an amazing experience they provided for our little ones. I was nervous going into the appointment about how my kids would react being there but the entire staff made it quite an enjoyable experience for them. They have TVs in the ceilings to help the kids relax and be comfortable and the place itself is so kid friendly with different characters and kid friendly interior. They gifted the kids with two tooth brushes, one electric and one regular brush as well as floss, toothpaste, balloons, and some little toys as well. Dr. McCabe and his staff provided excellent service! Will recommend and look forward to our next visit.
