My son Jackson had his first dentist appt two days ago and he absolutely loved it. His dad took him and when they came home he said it was a "kid factory." He said the hygienist Kayleigh was amazing with Jax and talked in a funny voice for him, and he wasn't nervous at all! My son came home super excited about the dentist and wants to brush his teeth 10 times a day now. I highly recommend!

Simply amazed by Dr. Tony and the wonderful staff! My two-year-old chipped a tooth and I was so worried about taking him to the dentist for the first time - we could not have asked for a better experience. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, and the office itself was such a fun space that my son wanted to stay and keep playing after his appointment. He just LOVED the tiger "walking" across the exam room ceiling! Dr. Tony put all of my concerns at ease about my son's tooth and the whole exam went so smoothly. Can't wait to go back for his next visit.

VERY IMPRESSED. Kids left the dentist happy for once. My boys already are asking to go back. TO the dentist! They giggled the entire cleaning and had a smile from ear to ear. Everyone is very nice in the office and Dr. Tony is so welcoming and made my kids feel right at home. Absolutely recommend this dentist office to any child mostly if they're nervous they make it very inviting with vibrant colors, fun toys and even a welcome board to welcome new kids to the office. I can't say enough good things about this dentist office, by far our best experience.

Another fantastic experience here, they really understand how to look after little kids, especially nervous ones! The cleaning was fast but gentle and thorough, and my son was in and out in 20 minutes. Perfect

This place is fantastic. Dr Tony genuinely loves kids and so does his entire staff. From the waiting room decor to the themed rooms to the sunglasses and other distractions that trick the kids into letting them do the job with ease, it is a wonderfully refreshing doctor experience. My kids are actually excited to go to the dentist. I wish I could say the same when I was a kid!
