Dr. Mahajan does a good job, and doesn't prolong dental issues for my kids and for that I respect and appreciate the work that she does. Other pros about this office is that the wait time generally isn't extensive, and the dental assistants and dentist are good with bedside manner for kids. They seem to really want the kids to feel comfortable and ease any worries the kids may have. The cons from my experience have been the customer service experience of scheduling appointments, calling with questions or checking in for appointments at the office. However, I do think with some changes in staff and the fact that we are no longer on government insurance but rather paying for healthcare, our experience now vs 3 years ago is much better! I would overall recommend this dentist if you're looking for a pediatric dentist.

A dental tech will call your child's name and connect with them personally to help them calm down and feel safe during the procedure before anything happens - these people are so warm and personable and seem to really love their job. Myers can do both my kids at once in this open space so I can watch both of them. Each kid is given special glasses while the light is over their face and then they show Disney movies on the ceiling if the kids need a distraction. We were in and out for TWO kids cleanings in 30-minutes. Just phenomenal.

They hit the mark being professional, organized and welcoming. But I'm specifically writing this because of the treatment we received from Cindi. I came in feeling incredibly anxious about my son's visit, but Cindi's kindness and patience put me at ease. She did my son's x-rays and made him feel so comfortable that he is comfortable going back for his procedure. She took the time to explain everything I had questions about, providing total clarity with absolutely no pressure. I cannot say enough about how professional, thorough and empathetic she was. Cindi is truly the reason I decided to stay with this practice.

( isn't this great when your kid is little ) The waiting room is so welcoming and fun. There are books and games to keep the kids entertained at the waiting room.

They even have a welcome board for new patients, and I remember my daughter got a balloon and a toy on her first visit! ( I wish I still had the picture) You absolutely have to bring your kids here. They'll love it! My nephews, who are in their 30s, have been patients here before at the Orange Park location. Dr. Patrick's dad was their dentist! So, you can say we're big fans of this dentistry. If you have a child, I highly recommend visiting the office and experiencing it firsthand. You'll likely want to bring your child here.

I called the office and although they were fully booked Dr. Alvarez made a spot first thing in the morning to see my little one. She evaluated his teeth and provided different treatment options to chose from. I never felt pressured to choose one route or the other. Based on her rationales I knew I was getting sound medical advice. Dr. Alvarez was so patient, knowledgeable and knew how to calm my toddler while she worked on his teeth. Dr. Alvarez and her whole staff were all so kind, professional, and very welcoming to all their patients. Right when we walked in we were greeted with a smile from the front desk. It is apparent Safari smiles staff love working here and they all create a warm and inviting atmosphere... which really helps if you have kids that get anxious about seeing the dentist. I def recommend this place for anyone who has little ones anxious seeing the dentist!!

Our son is 7 weeks old and had upper lip, tongue and bilateral cheek/ buccal ties. This was a 1.5…read morehour drive each way for us from Gainesville but we heard great things about Dr. Gary from a friend who had her daughter's frenulectomy done here a few years prior. I am grateful we were able to be worked in after I called as I filled out a new patient packet a few weeks prior and then again the day before. I was promised a call back and we were able to go in for a same week appointment as they had a cancellation. Once we arrived, we checked in and filled out the new patient pack and were taken back within 15 mins of our appt time. Dr. Gary was able to explain the procedure to us and aftercare/ what to expect. Topical analgesia was applied and he was swaddled and then the procedure performed in less than 5 minutes with dad and I able to stay in the room which we chose to do. We then went to a room to feed/ nurse after. The practice is very busy so we waited about 45 mins after the procedure to see Dr. Gary again before paying and leaving. I am glad we were able to have the procedure performed while he is still this little. The CO2 laser makes this quick and with very minimal post-op issues at all! Unfortunately, I don't know that I have seen a drastic difference in baby's ability to feed and some of the issues I was concerned about but we are 24 hours after. That is nothing against the procedure or Dr. Gary though! Every baby/ child will have different results. I will also say that of no fault to the practice, they cannot bill major medical so if you do not have dental insurance, you can request a form with appropriate ICD 10 codes to submit your insurance yourself. It was a little over $600 for the evaluation and all 4 ties. If you have questions concerning finances, I'd recommend calling the office as they were very transparent and helped to make that process very easy. We chose to do all 4 that day and cash pay as no dental insurance for our baby yet. I definitely do recommend Dr. Gary And the practice as a whole. Pain control four hours after was difficult so I would recommend Being proactive with medicating. They do give you recommendations for homeopathic options with your discharge planning. One recommendation would be to provide that in an email prior to the appointment so parents could plan ahead to buy those options rather than have to go to the store or wait for online orders. Additionally, Dr. Gary was very informative on educating how to perform exercise/stretching and even offered an appointment for follow up in one week for a recheck if needed. Given that it is a long drive each way and the exercise exercises seems straightforward to me, we will likely not return, but I can see that this would be beneficial for parents with concerns. If your child has a lip, tongue or cheek tie, I would absolutely recommend sooner evaluation and seeing Dr. Gary.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. This office refused to verify my dental insurance before my…read morechild's appointment for whatever reason and insisted I pay the full amount out-of-pocket with the promise I'd be reimbursed once they submitted the claim. I trusted them and that was a mistake. On numerous separate occasions, they have verified that they do in fact owe me money and "will figure out a way to reimburse you whether that be in the form of a credit on your account or a written check". Not only was I never reimbursed, but after 2.5 YEARS of follow-up regarding this matter and mentioning it at every single appointment, they are now telling me they're "unable" to refund me at all. This was their mistake, and now I'm stuck paying for something insurance should have covered. It's incredibly frustrating, dishonest, and shows a complete lack of accountability. Parents should not have to fight to get their money back, especially when the error was on the office's part. Be very cautious if you choose to bring your child here, and do not agree to pay out-of-pocket unless you have proof in writing that you'll be reimbursed.

During covid times, including today 4/22/21, they have taken extensive precautions with masks, cleaning, and spacing, which I truly appreciate having high risk family members. I cannot say enough good things about this office. Thank you for everything.
