Dr. Mercedes Y Padilla

My older daughter came here once and had a great experience and she was so nervous! That time the hygienist and dentist were so sweet and gentle amd explained everything ahead of time and really praised my daughter. I took my 7 year old for her first dentist visit with a different dentist and hygienist this week. The hygienist really didn't explain anything and just started cleaning her teeth.

I actually heard my daughter start crying so I asked if the hygienist could stop so I could check on my daughter to ask her what was wrong. She started crying about the experience. The hygienist kind of acted like she was annoyed and then after a few minutes of me trying to comfort my daughter she said "well I'm going to get the dentist." Then he came in and did a little bit of cleaning and exam with tools.

There was NO teaching done at all during this visit, other than everything looks fine. No talking to her about what was happening during the cleaning or about brushing her teeth or flossing. I never understood why some people hated going to the dentist, but now I understand why. My daughter never wants to go back.

Been going here for 15 years with my kids, they're amazing! My oldest is almost 18 and doesn't want to find an adult dentist! We love Dr Padilla! They even had animals for the kids to enjoy this time and the playhouse is open again. My kids have always loved coming here!

We always get treated with respect and kindness when we come to this office. Our daughter had to have a baby tooth pulled and some dental work done. The dentist was very awesome. He took care of our daughter and calmed her down. We love this office and all the staff. Always very professional.

Children's Dental Village has been a staple with our family's dental health for our kiddos. Over the years the dedication, care and passion for making dental care a fun experience for our kids has been a game changer. Our kids love going for this reason and it's what motivated us to continue going here even after we moved across town.

My four-year-old son had a great experience there! He had a good time playing in the front office, and all of the staff was kind and helpful. He needed dental work done, and they made him feel comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. I definitely recommend them!

We love Children's Dental Village! My 3 year old just had her second appointment and everyone there is so kind and patient and very encouraging. They really understand children and do things at their pace as to not overwhelm them. My daughter gets excited to go to her dental appointments!

Amazing dental experience. Dr. Lepetich and his team are so caring and are great at make my kids feel so comfortable in the dental chair. I can't thank them enough for the positive impact they have on my kids and how they view going to the dentist.

It's always a pleasure bringing my children to this location. All the staff and dentist are so welcoming and communicate with you every step of the way. It was my 1 year first check up and they did such an amazing job. He didn't even cry not one bit. The plus side to this location is you'll never wait long in the lobby. You get checked in and soon after the dental assistant is coming to get you. Thank you for the great care & services!

First time in this office, and by far, the BEST experience my son has ever had with a dentist! They were so warm and caring. They took the time to explain everything to my very inquisitive 5 year old. They showed him what they were doing. I am so happy to have found this office! The entire staff has been extremely kind from the beginning!
