No amount of money or quantity of reviews can express the forever thankful type of gratitude I have for Autumn Hurd, D.D.S & her AMAZING staff. I too work in the industry, but when it comes to your own baby, your own flesh and blood- it's something you're not quite prepared for. Not ONLY did she accommodate us within a not so far out appointment, but made changes to her work schedule and allowed us to schedule ONE HOUR prior to their office even opening for business.
You know a good mother and GREAT doctor by the judgement taken for another woman's child and that- that was mine. I will also have my daughter become a patient here and this will forever be "my dentist" as my son phrased it best. I recommend this place more than words alone can describe.

Dr. Hurd is phenomenal! Both my sons have been seeing her for years. Autumn and her team helped my youngest who is on the Autism Spectrum feel more comfortable over time. She even allowed him to visit her clinic for the first time without an official appointment just so he could become familiar with the setting and the staff. My boys, one seven and the other thirteen, love seeing Dr. Hurd. There is a reason she came highly recommended by my children's pediatrician and why she is honored as one of the top children's dentists in the Denver Metro area in the 5280 Magazine year after year. I would not hesitate to recommend Autumn as I always do. She is a provider you can definitely trust and count on to give the best care to your child or children.

A very friendly and happy experience. They were very helpful, listened to concerns, careful to explain details and made sure that everyone including my daughter was okay with the plans we made. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist.
