Report
My kiddo had to have a cavity treatment and we couldn't have had a better experience with Dr. Joe. She didn't have pain, she did cry a little with the noise and water from the drill but after I asked her what did the dentist do and she said he cleaned her teeth. I asked did it hurt and she said no. Dr. Joe was very quick and also very good at multi tasking between monitoring how she responded to the sweet air and performing the procedure. Kudos!

SPD is a wonderful experience. They work hard to make sure your children are happy and comfortable. I have loved coming with my boys since the first appointment. They deserve more than 5 stars. Thank you so much for all that you do to make my boys feel safe and happy during their checkup.
