My seven-year-old daughter is autistic and experiences severe anxiety around dental and medical appointments, largely due to previous experiences at other providers. Denny, the office manager, is a fantastic asset to the team. She made the intake process smooth and was exceptionally welcoming when we arrived. Knowing she has years of experience with special needs children was a relief. She was kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything to both me and my daughter, helping her feel comfortable and informed. Dr. Shruti Pandhi was also wonderful--she showed great patience and helped my daughter feel safe in an environment that would usually be intimidating for her. The office itself is clean, inviting, and perfectly kid-friendly without being overstimulating, which is a big plus for children with sensory sensitivities. We're so glad we chose Kids Dental Express!

This was my daughter's 3rd cleaning at No Sugar Bugs Club, and unfortunately, our experience with…read moreChristopher Chung was unacceptable. I initially tried to give this office a fair chance despite noticing during our first two visits that he seemed impatient with my (now) 4-year-old. But after what happened this morning, I cannot stay silent. I genuinely wish I had checked the real Yelp reviews instead of relying on the reviews on their website, because those website reviews can be bought, and they do not reflect what actually happens here. The Yelp reviews describe exactly what we experienced today. My daughter is only 4. She was doing much better this time than last time, still a little nervous and fidgety, which is completely normal for a child her age. When Christopher Chung walked into the room, he was immediately rude and impatient. My daughter accidentally kicked his leg while crying from fear. Instead of responding with care or understanding, he said, "I would appreciate it if you do not kick me," and then added that he "just had surgery" and couldn't look at her mouth with her "acting that way." She wasn't acting out, she was scared. He showed no compassion, no patience, and absolutely no child-appropriate bedside manner, which is shocking considering he works with children every single day. At that point, I stood up, told him we were leaving due to how he was treating my daughter, and requested corporate contact information. While I know there may not be much more I can do formally, I will warn other parents. Your children deserve a dentist who is gentle, patient, and genuinely good with kids, not someone who gets irritated by normal child behavior. Also, the responses this office leaves under their negative reviews on their website are extremely misleading. When multiple parents share the same exact concerns about the same dentist, that is not a coincidence, it's a pattern. For the office to reply claiming he is "the best" and that children "love him" is honestly absurd. To the office: I do not care for a scripted or dismissive reply under this review. My responsibility as a parent is to warn others before bringing their child here. And no, Christopher Chung (I will not refer to him as a doctor) is absolutely not the best dentist. From my experience and others, he is the worst. These are children he is dealing with. If he cannot be patient, compassionate, or gentle, then he should work with adults or reconsider practicing altogether. To PARENTS/CAREGIVERS/GUARDIANS: Please read the Yelp reviews and other review resources before taking your child here. It's unfortunate, but the only thing we can do as parents is to spread the word, so other families do not have to go through such experience.

When the Dr did the exam I was given a long list of work he said my child would need along with being completely sedated. My gut was telling me to get a second opinion. I found out my child really only needed three things and did not have to be put to sleep for any of it. The second and third.opinions I got both said this was an aggressive amount of unnecessary work. My child is now on a healthy plan at another dentistry and I'm just thankful I listened to my mother's intuition and spared my child all that agony.

Upon entering, your child will have a play area to the right that is always streaming Disney movies. Further back are individual examination chairs and rooms. Bright colors and calm environment that is an immediate stress reducer for apprehensive children (and parents). Dr. Makrum has excellent bedside manner, speaks to the children in a relatable manner, while being very gentle and calm as she explains what she is going to do. Our daughter loves going to see her and always asks when her next appointment is. Recently, our daughter chipped her tooth while playing on the playground. It was a Saturday and the practice was closed but we left a message on the emergency line. Within minutes, Dr. Makrum was calling, asking what happened, having us text photos and then recommended a course of treatment at an emergency dentist. She stayed in contact until the tooth was repaired and then had us come in the following week to inspect the work. You won't find a better pediatric dentist!!

However, getting in and out during appointments is still a breeze.

We used to go to an extremely popular pediatric dentist in Palm Harbor where the waiting room would be packed, we waited at least an hour past our appointment time and you couldn't leave without a high pressured up sell. Not at pediatric dentistry of westchase...in and out, no pressure and great service.

We decided to shop around for a new dentist. Based on a number of recommendations we wound up giving Suncoast Pediatric Dentistry a look. Wow, what a breath of fresh air. Dr. Amanda Velazquez and her crew did an amazing job. Since we were visiting in the time of Covid, we started our appointment waiting in our car until they were ready for us. At that point they came out, took our temperatures and then escorted us in for our appointment. My son (who was also getting a check up) and daughter were placed in chairs beside each other in a huge open room. This made it easy for a solo parent with multiple children to be able to monitor them both at the same time. Love this setup versus the single rooms at other practices. Those old fears cropped up with my daughter so it was suggested she move into a solo room. She wanted me with her. The staff assured me my son would be fine, so I moved with her. Thanks to their calm demeanor and transparency, Dr. Amanda and her team were able to x-ray, clean and flouride my daughter. Afterwards both her and my son were showered with gifts. They both loved that. I used to dread dentist trips with my daughter. Thanks to Dr. Amanda and the rest of the team at Suncoast Pediatric Dentistry I am cautiously optimistic about our next visit!
