Today was my last day and appointment here But, all the years I've been here for dentist appointments, my nurse Jen, and my doctors, Dr. Emily, Dr. Katie, and Dr. Ashley were nothing but such sweet and precious ladies! They took care of me so well and they are nothing but, hands down friendly! It was very hard to say goodbye to them but, I know I will see them again soon somewhere. This dentist will always be my favorite one and Jen, Dr. Emily, Dr. Katie, and Dr. Ashley will always be my favorite dentist people! Jen, Dr. Emily, Dr. Katie, and Dr. Ashley, you guys deserve more than 5 stars for being so kind!

I couldn't be happier with my experience this morning with my 9 year old daughter at Keystone. All staff, and especially Jessica and Dr. Emily, were so patient with my daughter and really helped ease her fears. So happy we found the office and made the switch!

I chose this place because they had mostly five star reviews and it did not let me down. By the end of the appointment my daughter was calling the dentist "mom" which is her way of expressing her comfort with her. Glad to have found this office.

My son & I had our first visit to Keystone today and it was FANTASTIC. Having been to another pediatric dentist, I can say with certainty that Dr Emily & everyone at Keystone was head & shoulders above the other place we had been to in the past, and everything about our appointment (for a tooth extraction) was wonderful from start to finish. My son has pretty moderate dental-anxiety but without being prompted, he even thanked the staff after the extraction and told them "This was the best experience!" while still sitting in the chair.
Everyone we talked with was super kind & courteous, and they went above & beyond to make sure my son was comfortable & they made sure I was informed every step of the way. If you're on the fence about taking your child to Keystone, just do it! You'll be so happy you chose Keystone! THANK YOU, Dr. Emily, Jess & Ashley!

I can not say good enough things about this dentist group. My son had a horrible infection and tooth pain and I called over 17 places trying to get him in for an emergency visit appointment. Finally I called Keystone, and they did everything they could to get us in for an appointment in a reasonable time. The office was clean and so kid friendly, and the staff was nice and helpful. They fixed my sons tooth and made him feel comfortable in the process. I'm so grateful for their compassion and understanding of urgency.
