Came here for the first time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone was super amazing! From the receptionist to the dental hygienist to the dentist and other staff walking by that smiled at my baby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Coming into the office was also a treat! Felt like I was walking into someone's living room. There was a cute small Christmas tree with little smores ornaments, a bookshelf with a few toys, and a shelf with some nice big books. The cleaning with Daniella went well. There was also a chair for me to sit and feed the baby while it was going on. She reviewed how we could do better which was very helpful. The dentist, Dr Zaul, taught me a few things I didn't know before - lots of tips, suggestions etc which I appreciate. Thanks for the thoughtful care!!! read more

Eek! I'm so ashamed that I have yet to write a review for our darling pediatric dentist office. We have been coming here for about 2? 3? Years now, and have had 0 issues thus far. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When my toddler first came here shortly after 1.5, naturally she was scared. Cue the cries and unwillingness to open her mouth, yet the dentist and the assistants have always been so kind and understanding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even at that young of an age, they were able to still complete a cleaning that was age-appropriate. Having heard stories of others who take their toddlers to an adult dentist, it is a wooorld of a difference, I.e., they look at the kids teeth and that's basically it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The goodie bag with a little stuffie always is an always nice touch as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite always being traumatized during the actual cleaning, she always was excited to go to the dentist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And then after a certain age, the dentist asked her to sit all by herself (she was previously in our lap). I was SO unsure about it, but she magically stopped crying. Shes now a such a pro at sitting for them, and continues to love coming here. Our little one is now 1.5 and is having the same struggles as big sister. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He has an extremely sensitive gag reflex and unfortunately threw up at the office just yesterday, but again, they were so nice about it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their office is extremely clean, has ample parking, and ALL of the workers are so nice. Thank you Burlingame Pediatric Dentistry for your magic touch! We love coming here! Highly recommend for anyone else who is considering pediatric dentists. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Burlingame pediatric dentistry. The place is so clean and organized, and the staff is very friendly and comforting from checkin to leaving. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our two toddlers really got excited to come to the dentist for every appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].. We recently moved to the East Bay and wish we could clone this practice and bring them over to our area. I would recommend BPD to anyone with children. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you for the great experience![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Just came here last week for my 14 month old's first dental appointment. According to my friend, you're supposed to go as soon as your kid has teeth. BUT baby boy has had stranger danger before having teeth and that "phase" hasn't quite passed yet - so I had a lot of anxiety about bringing him because I actually remember my first time at the dentist too (it was not fun.) Anyhoo, brought him in and right away we were greeted by a very kind and patient receptionist. We filled out some paperwork and were situated in a room pretty quickly. The entire experience went pretty well - tears were definitely shed, but I had mentally prepared for it. Everyone was extremely nice and understanding. They even put a little toy dog in their hygiene kit for us to bring home and distract from a total meltdown. Very happy with our treatment and the entire team there! See you in six months! read more

The office was beautiful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The team was awesome! It was a very warm and welcoming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dr Zaul was terrific! I had made a note on the new patient forms that I needed a little help getting my daughter to brush and floss. Dr. Zaul was very discrete in bringing it up with her and it went perfect. She now wants my help. When we got in the car to go home, she said " Mom, that was soooo much better than my last dental visit! I can't wait to go back in 6 months!" . Highly recommend. read more

We've been going to Burlingame Pediatric Dentistry since my daughter was 2, she's now almost 5. They take great care of little ones and make them feel super comfortable. Patient, caring and do an incredible job. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My daughter is never scared to go to the dentist which is great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My toddler enjoyed their experience at Burlingame Pediatric Dentistry. They felt comfortable and had fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Specifically, the staff is amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The quality of care is really top tier. I really enjoyed how the team provided thorough patient education at the visit. Lastly, I think it's cool how they have a tv above for the kids to watch! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciate how considerate the staff were in asking if screen time was okay for our child.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's clear they take mindfulness into account in their approach. Highly recommend! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Love this facility! They are amazing with kids, and both my children (5 and almost 2) love their visits.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The facility is always clean and well-kept. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even after long gaps between visits, there's always a welcoming sense of familiarity and hospitality.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I truly don't think we could find a better dental team. read more

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and dentists! We had a good first experience with our 15 month old!

Staff is amazing. They're friendly and respond quickly. We were referred here by our daughters first dentist. They told us some things to change when brushing/flossing and since then our first daughters teeth have been great! We brought our second daughter here for her first checkup and although she was having big feelings, they did their best to see her. She was super scared so we didn't get a cleaning but I appreciate their patience and help with her. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I have had nothing but good experiences here from my child's infancy (6 mos) to toddlerhood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is perfect for kids from the waiting room with toys, to the way the dentists and hygienists speak to the children, to the goodie bag after each visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Each visit has been pleasant, and even fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]everyone is very patient and accommodating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] thank you for taking care of my son's teeth since he was 1.

Just took my 2.5 yr old for her first dentist appt! I'd been putting it off for a while because my daughters been going through a clingy uncooperative phase but finally thought she may be able to get through an appt. Burlingame pediatrics office is sooo nice and inviting, that my daughter felt right at home, and went straight for the kid books to read and talking about the decorations. The staff was equally kind and inviting and also the forms they sent out ahead of time aside from medical and insurance questions, asked what things my daughter likes. One of the things I listed was Moana and when we got to the exam room, Moana was on the tv and my daughter immediately saw it and was excited l. Dr Smith and her team were so great with my daughter. They were patient, clearly explain what they were going to do before they did it and made it sound fun and more like play. Dr Smith did a great job explaining the kinds of things that cause cavities and what good habits we can build and alternative suggestions for things to do -- such as my daughter still wants a bottle in bed at bedtime so I've only been brushing her teeth in the morning, but because it's most important to brush at night she suggested I just give a brush in bed with a rice size amount of fluoride toothpaste. We've been doing that now for a week and it's going well. We will eventually give up the bottle but this was a good interim solution. Dr Smith was empathetic about picking our battles on what to give up and when and that it's okay to do things at our own pace. My daughter got through the whole exam with no fuss and felt comfortable enough to talk to Dr Smith and the team too! We will definitely be continuing our dental care here. read more

We've been seeing Dr. Zaul since our firstborn turned 1 (he's almost 3 now and his sister just turned 1) and there's no way we can sing enough praises to her and the whole crew at Burlingame Pediatric Dentistry! First off, scheduling is super easy breezy--their website is intuitive, and then their follow-up text reminders and any links to paperwork/digital signatures are simple, practical, and efficient. And then when you actually step into the offices... HOLY MOLY. What a freaking cute space! Not only is it entirely kid/toddler friendly, but also it's impeccably clean and super welcoming--like a literal pinterest board of my dreams!! The staff are all so friendly, patient, and hospitable. As for the actual dental work/cleaning/exams, Dr. Zaul is so SO good with my young kids. She's so very sweet, incredibly patient, and is creative in her approach in working with each kids' temperaments and personalities. Even with high-def flatscreens distracting the kids above each dental chair with Disney+, my kids are much more into Dr. Zaul's fun and gentle explanations/demonstrations of each tool she's using and her engaging renditions of popular educational toddler songs. I think what's probably one of the biggest highlights is how Dr. Zaul and the staff make you feel like you're part of the team. They never talk at or down to you and they are thoughtful in explaining things in a way that is easily understandable. Most of all, I don't ever feel judged by them and there is never any mom guilt! It truly feels like a collaborative and transparent process. And then they send each kid home with a goody bag with age-appropriate toys and stuff to maintain good oral hygiene. We heard of Burlingame Pediatric Dentistry through word-of-mouth and was a little hesitant because we live a little far away, but honestly, all of this makes our 40-minute commute, each way, well worth it. We can't imagine going elsewhere and would gladly travel even farther just for their service. Thank you so much, Dr. Zaul and Burlingame Pediatric Dentistry!! read more

First dental visit for my son. I was unsure how it will go but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the staff were all so friendly and professional[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Atmosphere was inviting for kids and place was clean. Will continue coming here for checkups. read more

Completely agree with Kira D and Amy L. All they care about is to change you an arm and a leg for X-rays. Avoid!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]One of their receptionists was rude to us during our visit with kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She rushed us in a really unfriendly tone while we were asking the second question to try to finish the payment she requested.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Instead of answering our questions regarding payment, she impatiently in a rude tone asked us to step away quickly since there were other patients waiting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sounded to me that she only wanted us to get the payment done and didn't care if we had any questions[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fact was we turned around and see literally no body was waiting behind us in the line.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We asked to talk to her supervisor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another customer with her child came later. They got upset with her too for a different situation[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very unpleasant to experience it and see things happen like this with the kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We thought this place could be a good place for the kids forever, but unfortunately it didn't happen that way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have been taking my son here from age 2 (he is now 6) and just started taking my daughter here too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entire staff here is phenomenally friendly and helpful -- they really know how to make kids feel comfortable (and even excited) when going to the dentist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Calm waiting area with nice music and a few toys. TVs mounted above the chairs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stickers and gift bags for kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They pay attention to all these details, but the really amazing thing is how the hygienists and dentists explain everything they are doing and treat the patients with patience and kindness. read more

We have two children under 5, one of whom has special needs. They have been super accommodating to us coming in over multiple visits, being very slowly introduced to the dentist. We are very happy to have found a terrific dental team for our kids. read more

The office is setup perfectly for young to teenage kids. We have 3 kids and both the tech and dentists are fantastic. I'm really impressed they could juggle both boys at the same time with no tears. They are extremely patient and talk through the process. Would recommend them to anyone with young ones who aren't comfortable or never been to the dentist! read more

I brought my 21 month old twins for their first dental appointment to see Dr Smith and they did as expected - they cried, but Dr Smith maintained her composure through it all. Before beginning the lap exam, she showed each twin the instruments she was going to use and let them touch and feel. She was very gentle and sweet through it all. The office itself was very cute and I loved the outdoor/camping theme. Everything was very clean and organized. The bathroom is super baby/kid friendly, they provide diapers in various sizes and wipes just in case you forget to bring your own( we all know this has happened to us parents!). I will definitely return in 6 months! :) read more

Office was great! Receptionist was prepared and friendly. Waiting area was clean and baby proof. Dr. Smith is great. She is very kind, experienced and was patient in answering all our questions. She was playful and gentle with my son and helped create a positive experience for him. read more

Dr. Zaul is a wizard. A very patient, playful wizard able to get my reluctant 3 year old to open her mouth and let Dr. Zaul clean her teeth. When we left, she said "oooo, that doctor is very nice!" I appreciate the covid protocols they're taking with going through the treatment plan and medical surveying online ahead of time. They have people text from the parking lot and let them know when to come in. The staff is also great - my insurance tried not to cover something and they contested themselves so I didn't have to do anything. read more

The clinic staff was very nice also, and my daughter felt very comfortable in their environment. I highly recommend anyone looking for high quality dental care for their child to visit Burlingame Pediatric Dentistry! read more

We had an awesome first visit with Dr. Smith today. Ashton was the best hygienist - my daughter was nervous but she made the visit fun and less intimidating. (My daughter won't stop talking about the "transformer chair" haha.) We were not shamed for being behind schedule due to the pandemic. The office was super clean and inviting - a perfect space for kids. We're super excited to go back in 6 months - my daughter said, "I won't be nervous at all next time!" read more

Professional, patient and extremely friendly. I already booked my child 6 month follow up appointment read more

First visit for my 19month old with seven teeth! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. My LO was pretty cooperative but got a bit nervous during the cleaning. The dentist sang a little song while cleaning his teeth to keep him comfortable. She gave him a little cute gift along with a toothbrush and toothpaste. I'm sure as my baby grows, he's going to love going to this dental office. :) read more

My family and I recently changed our insurance so I was looking for a pediatric dentist around the Peninsula. I came across Burlingame Pediatric Dentistry through YELP and saw that they've had great some great reviews. I was able to get an appointment within 2 weeks. I received all the New patient forms online and was able to fill that out for my kids prior to the appointment- which was very convenient because it was one less thing to do when we got there. Another thing that I admire on their Patient Q&A form was the fact that it wasn't your typical Dentist history form. There were questions in there that were geared towards actually getting to know their patient (any past traumatizing dental events, what type of things do they like etc etc.) I just feel like they went above and beyond to make sure that the experience would be pleasant for the kids. During the check-in, they've established/implemented protocols to help ensure patient safety during this whole pandemic. Once again, it was all seamless with a great flow. During our appointment we were greeted by Dr. Smith and Ally who were beyond amazing to both of my kids. Very patient, explained everything-they were doing. We didn't feel rushed, the conversations were genuine. I am so impressed! The facility- beautiful but most importantly, very clean! My daughter said "it's very aesthetically pleasing" My son (who was so scared to go to the dentist when he was younger) said he can't wait to go back again. 200% recommend them and I am so happy that we've established a patient/doctor relationship with Burlingame Pediatric Dentistry. See you all in 6 months. Thank you for everything! read more

Expensive I recently switched to them and when asked why, I shared my previous experience. The dentist seemed indifferent and asked what I wanted them to do. In retrospect, I should have asked for an estimate before booking my appointment. I thought that the cost for an out-of-network dentist would not differ greatly from the $70 fee we typically pay after insurance, but I was surprised to find that it cost over $300 for each child. To avoid unexpected expenses in the future, it is important to always get an estimate from an out-of-network dentist before scheduling an appointment. In terms of quality, I did not find any exceptional qualities or services that stood out above average read more

To be honest this is my first time to write review on yelp. I always read the reviews before picking any place to go, but never left any reviews. but today after my son's appointment I felt I should give this doctor and his office 5 star! It was amazing experience, very smooth procedure from making an appointment until seeing doctor. The office was so clean, the staff was so friendly and the doctor was so professional and caring. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good dentist and professional. read more

Our first visit was wonderful. Since the moment I made a call for an appointment to the end of our appointment, the staff was wonderful. The patience they showed towards my kids was nothing more than I could have asked for as a parent. There was undivided attention. It wasn't a rushed appointment. It was thorough and pleasant. Dr. Zaul engaged with both my kids and was genuinely trying to make them feel comfortable. I appreciated that very much. My daughter came out of there with a different perspective about dentist visits. Dr. Zaul was professional. Procedures were explained as well as any future ones. Overall, our entire experience was wonderful, thorough, and I would definitely recommend this office. read more
