Love Dr. Greg and Dr. Rachel. We've been at the practice for 5yrs now and we've been happy with every visit. The play area while the kids wait is a parents dream! The staff are so kind and good with the kids. We were able to do annual visits up to 3yrs old just to get the kids used to the dentist. Not full cleanings but little visits where my boys could sit in my lap and the dentist just looked things over.

That way we made sure there were no budding problems and the boys got used to the setting and having instruments (mirror) in their mouths. Now 6yrs and 3yrs and they can go back completely independent while I sit up front. We haven't experienced the need for any invasive services at this point so I can't comment on how aggressive they might be in their approach to things of that nature.

If I could rate this dentist office a 10 I would! We traveled almost 200 miles for this appointment and they didn't disappoint us one bit. I wish I would have switched my kids over here a long time ago. Thank you so much to Dr Greg and his staff. My kids can't stop talking about how much they loved being there today and how funny their dentist was.

I love Big Grins! They are fast, friendly, and really work hard to make sure that the kids know and understand what procedures they are going to perform. We just came back from getting fillings with no tears! I also appreciate their up-front billing, I always know exactly what it will cost ad I am never surprised by a bill. We have been patients for 6 years and wouldn't go anywhere else!

Everyone at Big Grin's made our experience so wonderful! This was my son's first visit to the dentist and he was very nervous. Everyone made him feel safe and they made the experience so great for him! They went above and beyond what I expected from a dentist office. He was even given a stuffed dog that looks just like their office dog "Sugar". He hasn't put it down since we got home! Thank you so much Big Grin's!

Amazing 1st time dentist visit for my kids! All the local moms groups recommend Dr. Greg at Big Grins and I absolutely see why! It was my son and daughter's 1st time to the dentist and I was worried it would be a scary or painful experience and it was the opposite. Both my kids are still talking about how much they enjoyed having their teeth "tickled" by the metal instruments. Beverly was wonderful on the phone for the multiple times I had to reschedule (colds and covid scare), the dental assistant (I feel horrible i don't remember her name bc she was amazing with my kids) was sweet and calm and explained everything to them and myself and then Dr. Greg was wonderful with the kids. Informative, helpful, gentle and understands how kids need to have their teeth looked at in a safe, calm environment in order to not create a fear of the dentist like their mom has. Big Grins is amazing and if you're looking for a dentist, I can not recommend this place enough.
