I've been to the office a few times now between the 3 of my children. The waiting room itself is…read moreextremely kid-friendly (understandably so). There are two x-boxes available and various toys for children of all ages to play with. There is also a Keurig station for the adults. Thankfully we have never been in the waiting room long. When you walk to the back it leads you to an open room with four dental chairs and ceiling to floor windows. It was so bright with natural light and the decor was so cute. There is also a hallway that has 4 rooms with doors "mommy/daddy and me" rooms for the younger ones. I have also been in one of these rooms with my son who was 18 months old at the time and once again extremely kid friendly. There were plenty of toys and a fire station "dollhouse" for him to play with. He actually did not want to leave! The service provided by the hygienist and Dr. Hardin were top notch! They were both sooooo gentle and nice. They talked to my 6-year-old the entire time they were working on her teeth and let her know step by step what was happening and what to expect next so no surprises for her. Dr. Hardin was also gentle with me in explaining things we could do as parents to improve the health of her our children's teeth. It's natural to feel a little guilty but no mom-shaming here. Gentle and encouraging. They also gave my daughter information (which is better received from the doctor than mom and dad) about the importance of brushing and flossing. There is a wall the child can put his/her name on if they are cavity-free which is a good incentive. Also, they get a coin to get a prize from the machines up front after their visit (she got a bouncy ball). Of course you get a swag bag with a new toothbrush of your choice, toothpaste and I think stickers. She also got a t-shirt (4 bright colors to choose from) for it being her first time there. Her experience was great! The front desk staff is also wonderful.They work with me to find a time that works with my schedule and allows me to get 2 of them in at the same time. They also explain my bill in detail so I know what to expect, insurance payments vs patient responsibility etc. Overall this is just an awesome dentist office. I sure wish I could be a patient!

My daughter was so nervous about going to the dentist, but was welcomed in the doors to a nature safari like scene. She immediately started playing with the other kids and had to be pried away from the games when it was her turn to be seen. The office was clean and upscale. I was so excited to see that they took really great care of these little people they service. The assistants and Dentist made my daughter feel comfortable and explained everything they were going to do. My daughter then allowed them to go into her mouth. She received a full exam and cleaning in a matter of minutes. My daughter loved the toothbrush kit they gave her as she left and of course she wanted to return to the toys. I moved shortly after and needed documentation for her school program. I contacted the office and received what I needed via email in a matter of minutes! I love this dentistry. We will be returning.

Amazing. We are so grateful to have come across Durham Pediatric Dentistry. We came for a second…read moreopinion from a dentist who recommended general anesthesia for my 5-year-old for a tooth extraction. Albeit there were multiple teeth to be pulled, Dr. Rob performed all extractions in office, something that the previous dentist said would be too traumatizing and refused to consider. Dr. Rob listened to our concerns and offered to try to extract the teeth to avoid surgery. He extracted them without any difficulty. My daughter loves going to him and now wants to be a dentist. We are so grateful we did not have to go to surgery and will continue to recommend their services.

Durham-based folks: I can not recommend Durham Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics highly enough…read more My son had his first cavity filled this AM and it was completely non-scary and painless. He even told me next time I don't need to go back and sit with him (which broke my heart a little. Also, side note - there better not be a next time!). Then the dentist called us at 6:30pm on a Friday night just to make sure he was doing OK. Just the best practice!

Every time I go in, I have to listen to his lecture about how all of my dental work is doomed to eventually fail and will need to be redone by him. He's smiling as he says this with no regard for me as the client in his chair (that would have to go through the procedures and put out the money). He speaks of my mouth as if it's a road top - saying he loves to drill on things, he loves to patch. It's all about business.

I contacted the Autism Society of NC and they provided a list of dentists in the area that specialize in this. Duke Street Pediatric was on the list and also came highly recommended from an orthodontist that I know. My son banged his front teeth and there was discoloration so I was worried about possible infection or damage. I was able to get into Duke Street the next day and they were extremely helpful and accommodating. The office is on the 2nd floor and there is a nautical and water theme. They have a very happy reception area with an aquarium, video games, stuffed pillows and lots of things to do. We were taken into an operatory room with a door (vs the open settings I have seen at other pediatric offices). The hygienists were AMAZING and asked a few questions and then we discussed how to approach the appointment. My son isn't one to lay down on the chair on his own so we did get him on the chair and did the exam and cleaning. We were then seen by Dr. Martha Ann Keels and she is the legendary dentist that opened this practice. She has a very calm demeanor and did a great job with our son. She has been doing this for 42 years and is an academic and is simply stellar at what she does. She lectures on special needs dentistry and is really a pioneer in her field. I felt so relieved when we learned that we didn't need any major work and that my son did well in this new setting at the dentist. Thank you to the team for making the visit so smooth and accessible and we will be back in 6 months for our next cleaning! I highly recommend for those looking for a safe space with special needs.

Was given a statement over $5K for expected cost and then charged a cancelation fee when we chose to hold the appointment to get a second opinion. Went to Durham Pediatrics Dentistry with Dr. Rob. He extracted all my daughter's teeth in office spread over 4 appointments. Duke Street said it would be too traumatizing for her. Please, she now wants to be a dentist and loves Dr. Rob and staff. Would not recommend Duke Street to others. They prioritized most invasive procedures and would not try a more modest approach.
