Report
Very friendly, patient, and creative doctor and staff. My son is terrible at dentists and would not sit in a chair for very long, so at Pediatric Dentistry of Palo Alto they let him sit however he wanted to sit (even backwards) and let him take frequent brakes. It took a little longer but we got everything done and it was fun and easy. I really appreciate that they meet kids on kids' terms rather than forcing them to comply with office protocols.

I've been going to this dentist for over 10 years and they have always always been efficient. I really recommend them. Their new office is beautiful and welcoming!

Report
The staff, after giving us a selection of appointments and we confirmed one of the options, didn't even put it on their schedule. Imagine you are about to take your son to an appointment, and they said they don't have the appointment. My son is supposed to have braces next week, so we are trying to do one cleaning prior to that, so this totally screwed up our schedule.
