My kids have seen both Dr. Burdette and Dr. Barefield. They both are very nice and patient with the kids. Dr. Burdette's availability is limited, but worth trying to fit into the days that she is available there. We left a dentist in Cedar Hill and I love that Barefield Pediatric has standard dental chairs and semi-privacy for patients. The support staff was nice and patient.

I have 4 adult children ages 18-26. Each of my children were pediatric clients of Dr. Barefield. We found Dr. Barefield and her staff to be very polite and highly professional. Their services were administered in a pain-free manner. Additionaly, their fees are very affordable! :

My 3 children had their first visit at Dr. Barefield's office. We had been seeing another dentist for the passed 4 years. The kids didn't mind the transition and they were happy to have an area dedicated just for them in the lobby and to get a special prize at the end of their dental visit. I appreciate how the staff treated me and my husband. The assistants and hygienist were patient with my 1 yer old baby. I would certainly recommend BPD to any parent who is looking for a nice and honest dentist. I am a satisfied customer.
