We were very impressed with the fun energy and kindness employed by staff in approach to my young son who was already stressed over cavities when we came. The exam was thorough yet timely. Questions were answered respectfully and happily. Options were discussed and parental wishes and concerns were honored. Scheduling of treatment was fast. Breakdown of costs per service were clear and easily understood. Cost was as expected. We plan to switch the dental care for both of our kids to this practice after Dr. Czarkowski completes our son's extensive dental surgery next week. Judging by our first and only meeting with her, we expect all will go very smoothly. Preston (age 5) gives her a thumbs up and so do we. read more

Czarkowski Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My children have been seeing Dr. Kara forever. She and the staff at this office have always gone above and beyond to accommodate us. Our oldest son has autism, so we are perhaps one of the loudest, most difficult families to work with. Still, this practice has always made us feel welcome and accepted. Dr. Kara is straightforward. She won't sugarcoat anything. We tend to be on the lazy side when it comes to taking care of our teeth, and Dr. Kara doesn't beat around the bush. I'm thankful for this, as our habits have improved in response. read more

I love Czarkowski Pediatrics! My 3 children ages 13, 10, and 8 have been going here for 2 years now. They never cry or complain of any pain. The rooms are decorated very kid friendly. The staff is always friendly and professional. The office waiting area is a bit small, as it looks as if it used to be a single family home. Today we arrived to our 3P appointment today at 2:55P. We got checked in by them checking our temperatures, and completing a questionnaire regarding multiple medical symptoms. At 3P sharp my first child was called back. By 3:45P we were checked out and on our way. I would highly recommend taking your children here. read more

After a couple of years bringing my kids in for regular cleanings, I called to make appointments at Czarkowski and was told my family was no longer 'allowed' to make appointments and we were no longer able to be patients at this office. I asked "why?", pretty surprised by this info and then was told we 'missed too many appointments'. Again, surprised, I was trying to recall a single appointment we might have missed (Ive always taken the three kids at the same time for back to back time slots), so I checked my email since I always get an email reminder for upcoming visits. The woman on the phone said "looks like you missed one in November maybe, but I'll have to check." I have no reminder email for any visits in November. Nor could the woman produce any other inkling of information regarding all our 'missed appointments' and I'm awaiting a call to explain why we have gotten turned away, which I will probably never get. Finding a dentist that isn't terrible is pretty difficult these days and it was uncalled for and frankly, really rude treatment to 'fire' clients with zero explanation or anything? The last scheduled visit we were there, I didn't go ahead and schedule their next visit like i normally do because I decided I would start making the youngest kids appointments on different days. Taking all three together was getting to be difficult. In the meantime, COVID shutdowns and all that went with it happened. And now I'm being told we can't be patients of Dr Czarkowski's office any longer and I am not understanding or given an explanation as to why (actually 'why' with evidence). It looks more like they screwed up the appointment book and aren't sure what they're even talking about. It's not the end of the world, but it's also not cool to do that to families. And it is a pain to now look for another dentist that my kids are not scared of. And on top of that?? Our last visit ended with me being charged $250 because the office staff advises me that one of my children's insurance coverage had lapsed so I had to pay out of pocket...which didn't seem right at all because they're all three on the same policy, so how ONE could lapse is beyond me, but I'm no insurance expert so I figured I'd just take it up with insurance after the fact. Which I did. There was no lapse in policy. No lapse for any of the kids so that's also not cool. I'm thinking Dr Czarkowski should take a look at the front office organizational processes. If not, I must be THE lucky person to have had those memorable experiences. Thank you for the stellar treatment Dr. Czarkowski and staff. read more

Dr. Czarkowski handled an emergency for our son and we were still able to make it to our vacation. Always pleased with our experience.

I have a very finicky teenager and a hyperactive 7 year old. They both had an amazing appointment today. The staff was wonderful from beginning to end. They made recommendations for future treatments and double checked my insurance policy to make sure everything that was recommended was covered. read more

My children have been going to Dr. Czarkowski for about 5 or 6 years now. When we first started going everything went awesome. Since she has added this new staff things have gone down. I have 5 children all together so I rely on those reminder calls from the office. Every time my children have an appointment they somehow call my emergency contact number which is not my husband or I. We don't find out until after the appointment has past. Well with me continuously reminding them of my number they fail to take ownership of their issue. So my children have been dismissed from their practice. My advice make sure you not only look at the Doctor when making a choice but really look at the staff. read more

This dentist is condescending and lacks empathy. The waiting room is small and crowded, and the practice is overscheduled. Plan on at least an hour wait. We had 3 employees in the treatment room at various times before we ever saw the dentist. I will never return. read more

This dentist and the office was very disappointing for being a pediatric dental office. I took my son at age two and a half for his first dental appointment and there was nothing pediatric about it except characters that were displayed on the wall. Some of the characters on the wall were very age inappropriate and scary in the room we were in. There was no explanation or "play" of dental tools to introduce my son to the dentist or cleaning. During the cleaning his gums were bleeding and he was crying the entire time without any offer of distraction. The dental hygienist counted my sons teeth, which we finally got through and then when the dentist came in she wanted to count it again. As a pediatric dentist I would expect her to know the cues of when enough is enough especially with a younger first time patient. This was a very traumatic experience for my child while she continued to count opened his mouth with pliers to complete the counting. I noticed when we walked out of the office, there was a TV mounted onto the wall, but the staff didn't even try to see if that would make a difference in the cleaning and counting process. I would never recommend this dentist especially with little ones under the age of 6. read more
