    Treatment room - plenty of space for parents to sit

    The staff and providers are all incredibly helpful and friendly. I have twin girls who have had various dental issues. Every time we have come it has been a positive experience. They have great entertainment and prizes and the caregivers really know how to relate to the kids. We had gone to a different pediatric dentist previously, and my girls dreaded going to the dentist. Now my girls like going even when they are having procedures!

    Cool tv's on the ceilings to keep the kids occupied.

    Everyone here is very friendly, we have been coming here for years and recommend it to all our friends.

    Amazing experience at CarlsbaDDS Pediatric Smiles! They even prepared meaningful toys for my daughter, which made her feel so special. Dr. Linh Tsai was incredibly gentle, patient, and thorough. The office is beautiful, the team is kind, and they truly go above and beyond for kids. Highly recommend!

    Absolutely love this dentist! We have 4 kids that we bring in and they always have a great experience. Dental work is scary and my 8 year old is very particular. They always make sure she is comfortable and never force anything. The whole office is kid friendly with prizes and rewards. We absolutely love the experience. From all the doctors, to the assistants like Myra, they really make an effort to personalize the experience every time.

    We have been coming here for a little over 3 years and they are amazing. They always make mom and kiddo comfortable and the Dr and staff really listen to patient (or moms needs ) it was one of the best decisions we made when we moved to Carlsbad. We highly recommend CarlsbaDDS Pediatric Smiles

    I just wanted to take a minute and share my experience, I will only be taking my children here from…read morenow on and I'm so thankful I found Dr Khouri my youngest has some serious acid erosion that caused a lot of issues with my youngest teeth age 4yr old it had gotten to a point that it all needed to be addressed. Sedation was suggested and I was super nervous but decided it was the best route. The staff here including the Dr have been so extremely kind and patient with me. I have never had a dentist be so sympathetic with me and my concerns and her staff as well. Beyond that the work is always done very well and she's always happy to give me all my options and go the least invasive route when possible. Our experience here is always so wonderful and I highly recommend them because our sweet babies deserve the best. Also I want to leave a side note, in the beginning of all this we were offered the SDF route (it turns the cavity black) I had reservations and wanted to try some holistic options. If I could go back I would have done the SDF then and it would have kept us from having to do all this additional work. So if that's something being recommended I highly suggest taking that route.

    We took my 2 week old son in here to see Dr. Khoury for his tongue tie. I was so impressed with how…read morethorough Dr. Khoury was and how comforting all of her staff was as well!

    This was such an amazing experience. My daughter is very anxious around medical visits and was…read morerunning away at our prior dentist appointment. This place is what every child dentist should strive for, the gold standard. The lobby is bright, there is a play area with a small playhouse/slide. The hygienists started by playing and building rapport with my 3 and 5 year old before even calling them back. My kids loved them and went back with them without issue. They introduced every tool to them throughout the cleaning, made them feel like they were making choices (Do you want me to clean your bottom or top teeth first, etc.) Everyone there understands child psychology, is loving and patient. Our dentist, Dr. Pamaran is brilliant, patient, and just a jewel. My kids did not want to leave and my daughter said, "I'm not scared anymore, I can't wait to go back!!" I wish our pediatricians office was the same. Thank you so so much.

    Long story- worth the read…read more My grandson (7) knocked out a permanent tooth, root and all, during soccer practice. My daughter called her current dentists, after hours line and got no response. Another mother on the team had a friend who was a dentist, Dr. Edna Pamaran, who responded immediately for an emergency visit. She worked quickly and efficiently to get the tooth back in. Her empathy and care for someone who wasn't even a patient, is heartwarming. The follow up visit the next day was just as awesome. Every staff member and doctor were amazing and just as kind and friendly.

Between them, we've experienced a range of services, braces, routine checkups, extractions, and cavity treatments, so I've gotten a pretty well rounded view of the office. We've also had the chance to see all three doctors at this location, and I can honestly say they all do exceptional work. The assistants are great as well, very patient, gentle, and good with kids. This is definitely a children focused office, and you can feel that right away. The environment is intentionally lighthearted and welcoming, which I really appreciate. They do a good job making kids feel comfortable and less intimidated by things that can be scary, like needles or procedures. That matters a lot as a parent. The front office is a strong point. Every time we walk in, we're greeted warmly and professionally. The team is always very well dressed, presentable, and organized. The space is clean and kid-friendly my kids especially enjoy the waiting area (the Fast & Furious game is always a hit). That said, there's a noticeable difference when you get to the back office. While the staff is kind and good with the kids, the overall professionalism could be improved. There's quite a bit of chatter among staff that feels unnecessary at times, and it can come across as a little too casual. I understand it's a kids' environment, but as a parent, you still want to feel like the team is focused and taking their roles seriously. I also think a bit more attention to presentation and overall demeanor in the back would go a long way just carrying themselves with a little more pride and professionalism. Overall, it's a good office with caring dentists, skilled assistants, and a welcoming environment for kids. With a little more consistency in professionalism behind the scenes, this place could easily be excellent. I also want to highlight one of the dental assistants who helped my daughter, she was honestly my favorite. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and I really appreciated how she worked with my daughter and made her feel comfortable throughout the visit.

However unfortunately it was the same week I had recently gotten hurt at work and it involved a medical emergency for me, I won't get into specifics for personal reasons, but it because of the issue we had a lot on our plate and forgot. The worker on the phone didn't seem to care and the lady went on about their policies instead of having empathy and caring about what we were saying to her. This lady could've handled it better and because of this she lost customers for the office because we will not attend here any more.
