No amount of money or quantity of reviews can express the forever thankful type of gratitude I have for Autumn Hurd, D.D.S & her AMAZING staff. I too work in the industry, but when it comes to your own baby, your own flesh and blood- it's something you're not quite prepared for. Not ONLY did she accommodate us within a not so far out appointment, but made changes to her work schedule and allowed us to schedule ONE HOUR prior to their office even opening for business.

You know a good mother and GREAT doctor by the judgement taken for another woman's child and that- that was mine. I will also have my daughter become a patient here and this will forever be "my dentist" as my son phrased it best. I recommend this place more than words alone can describe.

My son has been going to Dentistry for Children since before his 1st birthday. He was born with health issues and needed a major surgery before he turned one which meant he needed a full check up before surgery. A friend of mine suggested this practice and I've been so thankful she did! Dr. Hurd was so compassionate since our first visit! She told me about future issues we may have and kept on eye on soft spots!

He ended up getting a chipped tooth due to a deficiency from his health issue. She fixed it, with major bark back from my prednisone fueled toddler-hulk all with care LOTS AND LOTS of patience! And love! This last check up, he ended up chipping the same tooth and had dreaded foreseen cavities. Dr Hurd and Miss. Becky and our little group did a field trip to children's and she did the thing to his little smile!

It was a 3 hour procedure and boy did she make use of her time! His teeth first of all look beautiful! They are protected and CLEAN! she took her time and it payed off in the best way! I could not recommend this group of FABULOUS women enough! They really care about there little patients! You are a sensational person Dr Hurd and you have an absolutely wonderful staff!

Dr. Hurd is phenomenal! Both my sons have been seeing her for years. Autumn and her team helped my youngest who is on the Autism Spectrum feel more comfortable over time. She even allowed him to visit her clinic for the first time without an official appointment just so he could become familiar with the setting and the staff. My boys, one seven and the other thirteen, love seeing Dr. Hurd.

There is a reason she came highly recommended by my children's pediatrician and why she is honored as one of the top children's dentists in the Denver Metro area in the 5280 Magazine year after year. I would not hesitate to recommend Autumn as I always do. She is a provider you can definitely trust and count on to give the best care to your child or children.

A very friendly and happy experience. They were very helpful, listened to concerns, careful to explain details and made sure that everyone including my daughter was okay with the plans we made. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist.

Dr Hurd has been our children's dentist since 2008. She is very caring and goes the extra mile for each child. She did an incredible job with surgery and gave our youngest child a beautiful smile and a chance to talk and have permanent teeth when other dentists didn't. She is very encouraging and our kids love her.

We love Dr. Hurd and her staff! My oldest is extremely sensitive, she has been very patient since day1! Even after we moved to another state we planned our visits around my kids teeth cleanings! TC

Dr. Hurd and her staff have treated my son for many years. She has treated him for routine check ups and cleanings but has also seen him for a trauma due to sports and extractions for orthodontics. Her office is always professional and friendly. Her demeanor with my child is unsurpassed. She is patient and knowledgeable. We appreciate her direct communication with us as parents and empathy being a parent herself.

He was terrified to have the extractions done. He walked out with a smile and told us how easy it had been! Our family can not offer a high enough recommendation. We trust her office implicitly with the care of our child.

My daughter has been seeing Dr Hurd for 4 years. She loves the staff! They are all very helpful. They treat my daughter very well and they are flexible on scheduling. That is very helpful.

We've been seeing Dr Autumn for upwards of 12 years I believe. It all started when our now 13 year old was about a 1 year and the pediatrician wanted us to take him to a dentist for what was a possible growth on his gum. Thankfully it didn't end up being anything of significance, other than the beginning of a long-time relationship with Dentistry for Children.

When our younger son first started going (around 12 months old) he would scream through each cleaning and exam. Through their patience, kindness and love of kids our boys now 13 and 12 actually enjoy going to the dentist, The entire office staff from the gals at the front desk, the hygienists and the dentists, all are welcoming, thorough, helpful, friendly, proficient, patient and highly competent. Dr Autumn keeps up on the latest techniques, treatments, and the medicine of dentistry. I would highly recommend (and have) Denistry for Children to others who are seeking out a superior experience for their children in dentistry.

They were great - my 2 year old warmed up to our assistant (Jill) right away. They took time to explain things in a way a 2 year old would understand and let the kids play with the tools before they put them in his or her mouth. My child did great with the first ever dentist visit because they made it a comfortable experience! Plus, great toys and a train table in the waiting area and everyone we talked to was friendly. Overall, a great place we would recommend!
