Best children's Dentist around. Very good at first appointments, they calm the children. From individual televisions, sun glasses for the bright light to toys and a game room.

I had issues out of this place 14 years ago with my oldest and was hesitant to bring my youngest here. However, I read some recent reviews about 2 years ago and decided to try it again. They have been so wonderful with my baby! They now take the babies to a room to get comfortable with the doctors for the first several visits. When I called for this current visit, I told them my girl NEEDED to have a cleaning and possibly an x-ray. They were on board with it and said that they would try for a cleaning and they did. Nobody was worked up or upset that my little girl didn't want her teeth cleaned. We just agreed that after a few tries of getting her to lay down that we would just visit with the doctor. The assistant and everyone was real nice and kind and just laughed at how cute she was. The staff here is amazing, even the poor girls at the front desk who have to deal with angry people. I will definitely recommend this place to people with toddlers who are scared of the dentist. They really care here now. If you had a bad experience here more than 5 or 6 years try them again!

My son had his very first Dental Exam at this establishment and it was perfect for us first timers. Staff was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was perfect for all ages. Highly recommend if you want a place that truly cares for your littles wellbeing!

The people here are straight up amazing. My son had an emergency where he broke his two front teeth in half at school and the doctors here came through with no questions. They were not even his original dentists at the time, but they are now. After they took care of my son, I changed all of my children's dentist to these guys. Definitely recommend.

I was so worried about my son falling while playing in our house, he knocked his two front teeth loose. The doctor and staff were amazing. They had us laughing by the time we left, they were incredible with our son and made us feel a lot better about our sweet boy getting hurt. Thank you to the staff and dentist that saw my son much love from the Robinsons! ❤️
