Dr Chelsea and the entire staff have been fantastic to my little one! His first visit (1yr) was very scary for him, and he was visibly upset. But the staff was fantastic at helping him try and calm down. 6 months later for the next cleaning/check he was actually EXCITED to go! Still was hesitant. This most recent visit he was THRILLED to watch the TV above & pick out a toy! I'm glad they make dental health fun!

I took my 2.5 year old here for her first visit and was so surprised how well she did. Skylar was awesome with her and made the experience so easy! My daughter let them brush her teeth with nearly no hesitation, which made me a little jealous considering it's a battle at home! Lol. Dr. Chelsea and the rest of the staff were great too. Definitely recommend!

Wish I could give more then 5 stars because I absolutely would. From the moment you walk into this office you are greeted with a smile. Wait time was short and The assistant was so sweet and explained everything to my 6 year old before she did something so that he better understood what was happening, and Dr. Chelsea is hands down, TOP notch! SO friendly, thorough and you can tell she truly cares about her patients. Thanks Seaside for a great experience and making my son feel so comfortable, we left and he asked if we could go back tomorrow LOL. Happy Easter
