Dr Aaron is great--super personable & fun. The receptionists and dental assistants are all really nice too.

Dr. Aaron is an absolute saint! My daughter gets extreme anxiety going to the dentist, and he is great at getting her to calm down, crack a few jokes and feel comfortable. She recently had to have a tooth removed due to an abscess, and he and his team were so kind, compassionate, and professional. There is no one else I would feel comfortable taking her, very grateful for this place! read more

Dr. Aaron saved Disneyland! Our 5 year old daughter was having a toothache and was scheduled for a procedure next month. Well it started hurting her more and we called Dr. Aaron who got her in right away to take care of it before we leave for Disneyland tomorrow! The doctor and his entire team were very compassionate and patient with her and made sure she was comfortable and calm through the entire procedure. They always paid close attention to how she was feeling and adjusted their approach. They are true professionals, ensuring that the scary parts are explained well and they worked efficiently to get her taken care of. She watched some TV for a few minutes and we were done! Thank you Dr. Aaron and team, you saved our daughter from pain during her Disney trip and we will wholeheartedly recommend you to our friends and family! read more

After our second visit, felt it was time to review. Our first Visit was June of 2019. My daughters first ever dentist visit. They were 100% excellent with her. They explained everything they were doing in a manner a child can understand. They made sure she was comfortable with everything they did (just a look and cleaning for her that day). Dr Aaron interacted wonderfully with her, but was able to fully speak with us about concerns as well. Her second visit was today. Staff was again wonderful. She had xrays for the first time, and the hygienist had her smiling the whole time and made sure she was comfortable through the whole process. When it came time for cleaning, she again explained and made it fun for my daughter. Dr Aaron did his exam quickly and efficiently, speaking to us and her, and getting her to interact with him, which is a feat in itself! I can say we are 100% thrilled to be bringing our daughter here, and wish dentist offices like this existed when we were kids! Can't reccomend them enough read more

Absolutely amazing. Would never go anywhere else. From the beginning with the amazing receptionist (Chris) making us feel so at home, to the most friendly and amazing dentist we have ever met. Our child was in amazing hands. If you're unsure where to take your children, you just found the place. read more

My children love this dentist office. Dr. Aaron and his staff are amazing. They are always positive, encouraging and greet you with a smile. My son was scared of dentists until he saw Dr. Aaron. My son describes him as cool and nice.! He has been seeing him for over 6 yrs now. read more

We've been at this office for a few years and Dr Aaron and the entire staff are all awesome. From xrays to teeth cleaning to filling cavities, my son has never felt more comfortable in a dentist office. I highly recommend this office. read more

What a friendly, knowledgeable office. My one year old chipped her tooth and I was completely put at ease with their amazing staff. Thanks for running such a great place for Redding!!! read more

After dreading a dentist visit with my daughter, I left this place with a full heart. My 2 year old had a blast and there were absolutely no tears. Staff was awesome and so sweet with my daughter. Dentist was thorough and encouraging with his comments. Can't want to come back for our next checkup, thank you! read more

Excellent experience! We took our 2 1/2 year-old yesterday, they were so fast at treating her. Dr. Aaron was so kind, all the girls that worked in the office were equally as kind. They seemed to truly care about her. They had plenty of toys to keep her busy and feel like she was in an environment for a child. Can't say enough great things! read more

Drs. Gus and Aaron have taken care of my son since he was 2. The office staff has almost no turnover, the office is clean, kid-centric yet parent friendly too, and they do both dentistry and orthodontics. Highly recommended for families. read more

Amazing first visit! My husband took the kids and when he got home asked if we were on some kind of VIP list. I told him no and he was shocked at the quality of service provided. The kids enjoyed their visit and look forward to their next visit. This has not happened it years going to a different dental office. The staff was so friendly and place was clean. Would recommend this place for your children's dental needs. read more

Dr. Aaron and his crew are always so great and wonderful with my kiddos!!! Boys love going to their Dentist!

Dr. Bjarnason and the staff were amazing! My 7 year old had to have cavities filled for the first time. The RDA providing him numbing and nitrous oxide prior to the procedure was superb in explaining in a calm and reassuring way what she was doing step by step. She really put my son at ease. Dr. B was so kind and really made my son feel safe and calm and the entire procedure (3 cavities!) went smooth. So much so that my son said he actually enjoyed the experience and can't wait to go back to the dentist! I have taken my son to about 3 different dentists. Dr Bjarnason and the entire office staff are by far the best of the best in Redding. read more

I love it here! The staff is amazing and very gentle with my children who are only toddlers. They explain what they're doing and ask what we are comfortable with. Dr. B is wonderful with them as well, very friendly and doesn't not push if my kids are too nervous. read more

This review is for our first visit to see Dr. Aaron Bjarnason for my 2 year old son. The visit absolutely lived up the research and reputation preceeding it. My son had been to the dentist in Fremont, CA three times before we moved to Redding, and each time had been traumatic for him. He was terrified of the dental instruments, and especially scared when he was forced to have his teeth cleaned. Stephanie, the dental hygenist, had the most appropriate and cheerful demeanor with him. There was no forcing, only encouraging and welcoming. She said when he was ready, they would clean his teeth. Most importantly, she and the dentist wanted him to have a first positive experience in their office. Stephanie gets an A+ for her treatment of a nervous toddler. Dr. Bjarnason was both friendly and skilled. He earned my son's trust, which can only be skillfully done by a doctor with the experience with young children. I teared up when my son, for the first time, asked the dentist to open his mouth for him, before Dr. B asked him to. It was such a relief. Dr. B's attitude and social intelligence with toddlers, coupled with the skill he exhibited, was a miracle to behold. If you are looking for a dental office with little staff turn over, the kindest hygenist, and amazing pediatric dentist, I highly recommend this office. read more

Took both of my kids here yesterday (ages 3 and 4). It was their first dentist appointment ever. And they did SO well! The staff was very friendly and relaxed and explained all of the procedures well for them to ease any fears. Definitely recommend to any parent! read more

The staff who work in the reception area are very nice. The dental assistants are wonderful along with Dr. Aaron. He is a perfect dentist for my kids who are very reserved. They actually like going to the dentist now. I like the open concept they have and am glad I have the opportunity to take my children to this dentist. I recommend this dental office to any parent who wants the best for their kids. read more

One of the nicest dentists I've ever been too. The staff was very welcoming and super sweet. My 4 year old son had a blast with all the cool stuff he got to do and see! Dr. Bjarnason was very polite, down to earth and over all awesome! So glad I choose them and will definitely recommend to others when needed! read more

This was my sons first time to the dentist and he left happy and ready to go back. The staff was very friendly. The office is super clean and easy to navigate. Dr. Aaron was great! I only gave four stars because I did feel like we were a little rushed through our appointment. read more

Dr Aaron treats my kids very well. He always explains exactly what he doing. He does not treat cavities unless necessary. The office staff are very nice, and knowledgeable. The office is very clean, my kids are always happy to go to the dentist read more

We moved from the Bay Area and were so sad about losing the dentist my kids loved going to. Dr. Aaron and his staff made my kids smile and the ease of the appointment process was outstanding. I have three kids and to have them all taken care of at the same time was amazing. The staff was very courteous and willing to listen to my kids. You can tell they love what they do and I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

If you have small children, Children's Dentistry of Redding is the place to go. Parents stay with their children every step of the way. You can watch your children get x-rays, get their teeth cleaned, and I even watched my daughter get braces on yesterday. My daughter has intellectual disability and ADHD, and of all days, I forgot to give her meds to her before she got her braces on. Michelle was extremely patient with her, as was Dr. Petras. Near the end of the process, my daughter's questions got very interesting, and Michelle answered every one patiently and kindly. She told my daughter she was doing a good job, and I was able to rub my daughter's leg and comfort her when she needed it. Kim also provided me with excellent service. She explained all of the costs and services associated with braces, and broke down the cost so it's very affordable. My children love going to the dentist now, and Children's Dentistry of Redding is the only place I would take them. read more

We were warmly welcomed when we entered the door. Dr Aaron and his team spoke to my son at a level he understood but made sure they were talking to him, not m,e about his teeth. I loved our visit and requested a new patient for my 18month old upon leaving. So far I absolutely was impressed and recommend their office. read more

This is quite possibly one of the BEST run business that I have found up here in Redding (please read my other reviews) . From the first initial phone call to get seen, until leaving the parking lot, it was an awesome experience. First off the parking is great. That's always huge for me. When you walk in the front door, the décor and furniture is obviously made with children in mind. A giant wall to wall couch made for the little ones to safely maneuver around really sets the tone. Then there are the friendliest people in Redding working behind the desk (maybe they ship them in , I don't know). Anyways, the staff are extremely pleasant and they can tackle any issue. Dr. Aaron was simply one of the most personable people that I have met and explained every process along the way. The open area for patients is un-intimidating and even has seats and toys for the waiting siblings. Great call. They had early morning appointments and I am most definitely NOT a morning person.However, with the ease and personality of the staff, It made getting up early and getting there that much easier. I'm letting my 9 year old eat all the candy she wants from now on, because going to the dentist now any enjoyable experience for everyone! read more

I have been bringing my kids here for five years. The entire staff is terrific! Professional, competent, polite, kind and great with kids.

My kids actually love going to the dentist. Dr Aaron is a true professional and his staff is top notch!! My kids feel welcome and comfortable in the office. I appreciate the reminders of our appointments and they are very accommodating for appointment changes. One couldn't ask for a better experience for children's dentistry!! read more

We met Dr. Bjarnason a few years ago after being referred to his office by some friends. Thank goodness, because Dr. Bjarnason is as great as they come, and then some. He is so incredibly caring and compassionate (even with the parents!). Our son is very afraid of going to the dentist and from day one, Dr. Bjarnason has been top-notch. I cannot believe how lucky Redding is to have gotten such a great guy! He treats our son as though he is one of his own and doesn't ever push or scare him into treatment if our son is hesitant. He goes out of his way to inform the parents of what is taking place at each examine. I am a worrier (to say the least) and he never makes me feel silly for asking so many questions. Our son is actually excited to go talk to "Dr. Aaron" when we tell him we have an appointment. Even if we lived outside of Redding, knowing how great Dr. Bjarnason is, we would drive miles to see him-no joke. The office is clean-clean-clean, bright and has an exceptionally friendly staff. We feel very lucky to have found such a great dentist for our son that just happens to be a wonderful person too! read more
