This is a terrible place. They made us wait for almost ONE HOUR just for the dentist to come, not to mention that it also took for the hygienist a long time (25 mins) to come in after being ushered into the room. Worse than being in a pedia clinic. It is unacceptable. Will not recommend it and will be looking for a different clinic.

This was our first time at this location. Everyone was super nice, welcoming, and had a great attitude. I have a 5yo and he was telling everyone, excitingly, that he went to the dentist today. They have a lot of good reviews which prompted me to choose this place, I am glad I did. I will definitely recommend to family and friends.

The dentist Dr. Pruitt is amazing, caring, and professional. However, I did not leave a 5 Starr review due to the fact that the worker at the receptionist desk is impolite. She asked that I put the mask on my 2 year old daughter, who had just ripped it off. I explained to her that I would try but she probably wouldn't leave it on. The lady very abruptly says "well then hold it in front of her face".
I looked at her in disbelief as I sat down in the waiting area NOT holding a mask in front of a 2 year old. When you enter a professional place of business, the first person to set the tone should not be a demanding, ill-mannered receptionist. Highly recommend the dentist. Highly suggest the receptionist change her attitude.

Covid has ruined this office! Against CDC guidelines, the office tried to force me to put a mask on my 1 year old! When I said absolutely not, they tried to insist I put a blanket over his head. I will NEVER step foot in this office again and regret recommending this practice to fellow mom friends. The doctors are super nice but the unsafe protocols and office staff are AWFUL.

Never had an issue with the place in 3 years and now COVID has made them a nightmare to deal with. They want my 1.5 year old to wear a mask or a blanket over their head, she's not going to keep a mask on and I have to put her down to fill out paper work and do all the hand washing so now the blanket is dragging on the ground. Then I can't bring my 3 year old in who has a mask on. what am I supposed to do with her? Leave her in the car? Do they not have other stay at home moms with kids that go there? I won't be going back and the front desk lady was very rude.

Super kind staff. made my daughter and i feel very welcomed and comfortable, up until we heard a nurse referred my daughter as a 'crying match.' the nurse had thought the doctors came for my daughter and took her to the back for day time surgery. but they hadn't and we were still in back waiting, so i heard. i didn't think it was very professional. like a crying match? really? she 2, the thought of going into a doctors office for any toddler is nerve racking. i didn't think it was nice or appropriate at all, especially after the nurse had expressed to me that she has 2 toddlers of her own. i wonder how she'd feel if someone said something of the sort about her lil ones in a doctors office.

It's always a pleasure going to Kennedy Dental for my children's needs. The staff are very polite, professional, and friendly. They take time to explain the procedure, progress, and books follow up appointment right on the spot. We have moved around the country and this is by far one of the best dental clinics that we have used. I highly recommend for anybody searching for pediatric dental care or for orthodontics.

Very upset with the outcome of my request. Called the saratoga facility yesterday and was helped by someone at the front desk. After me answering a couple of questions about the copy of the receipts I needed for my sons visit and I was finally told "I'm transferring you to Holly who handles this." I gave Holly minimal information because she was already told what I needed.
I confirmed my email and she said she would do it. I called back this morning around 10AM, asked to be transferred to Holly, was placed on hold for more than 5 minutes with no update. Hung up and called back. Asked if I could speak with a supervisor, placed on hold, then receptionist comes back on the line and say she's in a meeting. I asked again if I could speak to Holly and not be placed on hold for another 5 minutes.
She tells me Holly is sitting at her desk and doesn't know why she didn't pick up. I get transferred to Holly AGAIN. Holly comes on and "says" that she emailed me to receipts and doesn't know why they weren't sent. She tells me she will look into it and call me back. I asked if I will get a call back today, she states yes. I confirm my email address AGAIN.
I call back at 4:30 because I had not received an email or phone call. I speak with Holly and explain that I never received a call back and she states she sent the email. I tell her I didn't get it. She repeats my email address and it is incorrect. I told her if she sent it it would have been nice if she called me to let me know, like she said she would, instead of me having to reach back out to her. Zero consideration. She continuously kept cutting me off and making excuses about how their system was updating.

Amazing staff and friendly faces. Waiting room is very a positive environment for kids and they have movies playing for them. Their dental office in the back is very kid friendly and cute for kids of all ages. The staff was very professional and respectful with my visit for my daughter and went over every little detail for her surgery and didn't leave out any single detail. They do super amazing with calling and checking up on their patients.

I took my 5 year old for second opinion, very happy with the consultation. Dr Nicky was so sweet as well as the assistant Mrs. Lulu. They treated my son so well. The appointment felt so quick. Staff also very welcoming and comfortable, I trust them to work on my son and the treatment he needs to get done. I definitely recommend to bring your children here.

We've had great experience with the dentists and dental assistants. They are are all knowledgeable, friendly, and work very quickly. It doesn't feel like you are being rushed out though. I've taken my 1, 8 and 9 year olds. I didn't give them 5 stars because the woman who make the appointments was rude. Everyone else was Great!
