Very pleasant pediatric dentistry practice!…read more They definitely go out of their way to make your child comfortable. We brought our 18-month-old who was going to cry no matter what but they did all they could to make things pleasant for her. They give your kid balloons and little toys to take home. There's a television, if you want your child's favorite show on. Dr. Lam was super sweet to our toddler and to us (took the time to patiently answer all of our questions). I also really liked their waiting room -- it's fun and colorful without being too "childish" or cartoon-heavy. It's made to appeal to both adults and children which I really enjoyed. Parking is easy in their large free lot. Just a heads up, if you're bringing a stroller, park behind the building (that's where the ramp is). Also note that their office is pretty small so if you are bringing a stroller, I'd recommend a small one.

I took my 2 1/2 year old to his first dental appointment. Check in was a breeze. The office is so modern and beautiful. It is conveniently located in the Rice Village/West U area on Kirby. Although Kirby can be quite congested, I found it easy to navigate. I didn't think there was much parking, but if you driver further to the back and around you will find more. I was nervous being my little's first visit, but he took it like a pro. The dental assistant was fantastic and complimented his superb behavior. She couldn't believe this was his first time. My child was completely at ease. Dr. Longoria then came in with all smiles. She was gentle and very knowledgeable. Being new at this, she told me everything I need to know to keep my little's teeth in check. I left feeling completely satisfied. Oh, and they even took a polaroid of my little on his first visit .... just like Dr. Friedman when he started in the '80s. We have found our new pediatric dentist!

Beware: Lip/Tongue tie diagnosis and procedure. Here's what happened with us. Right after our…read moredaughter's 1st birthday, we took her to West U Pediatric Dentistry for her first dentist appointment. We were expecting just an initial cleaning, counting teeth, etc etc but they caught us off guard when they told us she had a "very pronounced" lip and tongue tie and would need a procedure to correct both. They told us without this procedure, she would experience delays with speech and eating. They also said she would suffer breathing and orthodontic issues later in life. On top of this - they told us if we did not do this procedure within 2 months, she would have to be put under anesthesia for it since she would be too big to swaddle. We were given pricing and paperwork and told each procedure would be $1,500, more if we needed anesthesia. As you might imagine we were blindsided and our initial reaction was "we will do whatever it takes for our daughter", but felt uncomfortable with the entire visit so decided to discuss with our pediatrician first. Our wonderful pediatrician told us not to proceed with any procedures without a second opinion from a Texas Children's ENT. We scheduled with the ENT and saw her today. The doctor said her lip and tongue are both within the normal range and that we "shouldn't consider releasing either any time soon." She said there has been a national trend of overprescribing the procedure for lip and tongue release, and there is a national board that has now drafted protocols for when it actually needs to be done. She said our daughter doesn't meet those criteria by any stretch. She also asked how much the dentist was charging. When we told her $1,500, she said that was outrageous. She recommended we not respond to them and find another dentist, which we have already done. TLDR; get a second opinion and trust your instinct.

In all these years, out of many visits, I honestly do not remember even one time when Dr Luben made us feel rushed during a visit or made us feel like any less than her 100 percent attention was on my children. She helped them get well every time. I am disappointed that my oldest son is too old to see her now. Great doctor, highly recommend.

This review is long overdue. Dr. Shisler is, without question, the best pediatric dentist and…read moresurgeon in Houston. After another pediatric dentist performed an incomplete tongue-tie release on my infant daughter, Dr. Shisler carefully evaluated her and successfully corrected the issue. What impressed me most was that his entire focus was on helping my daughter gain the tongue mobility she needed to feed comfortably and effectively. He genuinely cared about improving her quality of life, not just performing a procedure. The experience from start to finish was exceptional. Ana and the entire staff were warm, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. As with most parents, we had plenty of questions, and every single one was answered with kindness and compassion. We never felt rushed and always felt supported. The improvement in my daughter's feeding and comfort has been remarkable, and I am beyond grateful for Dr. Shisler's expertise and dedication. He is the real deal--highly skilled, honest, caring, and truly committed to his patients' well-being. I recommend him wholeheartedly and have already started referring all of my friends and fellow parents to him. If you're looking for the absolute best pediatric dentist and surgeon in Houston, look no further. Dr. Shisler is simply outstanding.

Unethical, Outrageously Dishonest and Completely Unprofessional!!!…read moreThis dental office's conduct was absolutely unacceptable. They told me my little kid's cavities were "very serious" and pushed an outrageous treatment plan involving multiple crowns, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and anesthesia injections--all unnecessary and expensive. The dentist refused to speak to me directly and hid behind a "consultant" to pressure me into agreeing. I got a second opinion, and the truth was clear: the cavities were minor, and simple fillings were completed in under an hour with none of the excessive sedation or procedures this office claimed were required. This experience felt deceptive, unprofessional, and profit-driven. Parents: please get a second opinion before trusting this office with your child's care.
