You can go look on the AZ State Board of Dental Examiners site and look up the license of one of the dentists here- Phillip Cooke- and see the board actions taken against him. Pretty shocking that a pediatric dentist would allow someone to practice who has multiple complaints- including giving too much medication- DOUBLE the medication. Findings of fact say he worked on teeth virgin teeth with no evidence of decay and some ended up needing root canals, he also left open margins on crowns, and patients had nerve damage. License No. D02700 Parents deserve to be aware of this information so they can make informed choices. read more

Staff is always so nice and communicative and the nurse was the sweetest to my son and made the experience so pleasant for all of us. Appreciate all of the staff ! read more

Worst customer service . Has a mom of 3 . Took a month for an appointment called due to school . Did not offer any option lack of empathy I do not recommend this place they don't see you like a person just like a number . My son has a pain on a tooth and they don't care read more

We love the Islands Dentistry! Friendly staff and beautiful facility. They not only took great care of our son but got us in and out quickly. They were very gentle and patient as well. read more

all I would say is that I work for a place where they'll come and try to advertise. one of the ladies are just very rude. she's snobby when the kids come up to grab the toys. I get fake it until you make it, but cmon. at least care about ur job. why work in a children's dentist if u can't deal with kids.. read more

So multiple people suggested this place so took the 3.5yr old in for a routine visit. She had lip tie and tongue tie. Dr. Raz wanted to do both procedures, but especially the tongue. The routine visit went fine and without issue. The 3.5yr had no issues, surprisingly. They had TVs on ceiling and she kind of just hung out and watched while they cleaned. For the tongue tie and lip tie procedures we came back a few months later. And. It went poorly. She was a total Jack-wagon. She spit the initial medicine out (the juice with medicine in it) all over her shirt. So since we didnt know how much medicine she injested we had to try another type. Which we had to hold her down and syringe it. If you're sensitive and cannot make hard decisions then this would not be for you. She got that medicine and went all loopy (talking to the wall and everything). So we were ready. Got in the chair. Gassed. Got her teeth coated. Then injections. Got her lip tie done without issue. Then while numbing for her tongue she woke up and went full psycho. Again, if you cant handle seeing your kid in such a state then you need to figure out how to prepare for such a situation as you might have to see them get restrained and kind of fight the procedure. This is why I was there - mom cant handle stuff like that. I can. Once done she was still psycho. Didnt give a crap if I was there to console her. So mom had to come in. Then she was calm. Drugs? Maybe? Or maybe she just really likes mom that much more. In either case, if possible make sure you have both parent available just in case the kid wakes up and only wants one specific person and everyone else is the devil trying to steal them. Kids wake up like psychopaths, especially when they have people rooting around in their mouth. Anyways. 4 stars. The office called, texted, and emailed multiple times to schedule even though I had not said YES i 100% want to do it. When i left the initial cleaning i said I'd think about it. So i felt like it was a bit of innessesary pressure. I get it z im sure they make a lot on these procedures but maybe let the patients/parents/guardians call back when they are ready? read more

Dr. Rez is awesome. Great bedside manner with my son! I really appreciate Melissa in the front, so friendly and professional. My child actually likes coming to the dentist! Movies playing and kids get a prize at the end!! read more

Islands Pediatric Dentistry - Duke watching a movie waiting for his X-ray - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Wowwww me thinking ohhh I'm going to be early to the appointment NOT! THE OFFICE IS CLOSED! Not one of you had to the decency to reach out to reschedule us?! Trying to keep my toddler in the loop with routine visits. We will be seeking a different dentist. Be careful scheduling here, they will schedule your child an appointment in advance but the office is closed without notice! What is the point of ALL the reminders emails and texts ???!?!? Very unprofessional business read more

This place had terrible office staff. The office manager is very rude, she doesn't have any customer service. she literally took no accountability for not following up with a pre authorization. the office sent multiple text messages stating my appointment was still scheduled and when I got to the office they told me I couldn't be seen. my son needed emergency dental work and they denied my son but never communicated that before i arrived. office manager raised her voice at me and cut me short multiple times while i tried communicate my grievance. Terrible staff. read more

Every time we see him my kiddo's life gets a little easier! Three separate occasions kiddo had fallen and chipped one of his teeth. After a bad fall chipping to the root & having lots of pain/stress with teeth brushing& regressing away from solids Dr.Rez had run out of temporary options & had to put little man under for some crowns. He actually had to sculpt them because the smallest standard ones were too big for such a tiny patient..Baby was back to eating well and brushing teeth that same week! You are definitely in good hands here! Oh and his staff - equally as welcoming and very very competent, especially when working with your insurance. read more

Islands Pediatric Dentistry - Dentist - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We took Ava here for her first dentist appointment and loved the experience. Dr. Rez gave us so much information about how we should be cleaning her teeth and what things we could do to make brushing easier on her. As far as his check up on her teeth, he was very quick and still thorough. While my one year old daughter didn't particularly like that part (to be expected though) she loved playing in the pirate ship out front. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone! read more

What an awesome experience!! Dr. Rez and his team are incredible!!! From Rhonda at the front desk to his assistants... Thank YOU! I am so happy that I found a dentist for our kids esp for Siyanni. We've never once been able to take xrays of her teeth until today! Thanks Islands Pediatric Dentistry for your love and patience with our family. If you're in the surrounding area and looking for a dentist for your kids, we highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed! read more

I almost guarantee they 100% made up my son's required dental work at age 3. He needed 4 fillings and a bunch of other that I wish in hindsight I would've gotten a second opinion for. They are aggressively pushy, almost like salesy and their nonstop communication is too much. And the entire experience is not one I'd recommend. Since, we've gone to a different pediatric dentist who comes highly recommended and has integrity. Shockingly, my kid's teeth always look great! I'd recommend always getting a second opinion. read more

Our tough 4yr old boy had 6 crowns and 2 fillings this morning! He is doing so good right out of anesthesia that he wanted to build a train! From start to finish, Dr. Rez and his team were phenomenal!! read more

Islands Pediatric Dentistry - Straight Outta Anesthesia! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

It is a shame I have to give this place one star, solely because of one person. Everyone was friendly except for the dental hygienist, Kylie Fountain. Because of her my daughter left in tears, and the reason why children are terrified to go to the dentist. She was rough with my daughter and spoke to her very aggressively. I stood up for my daughter at the end up of the appointment, but she did not take accountability or apologize. Instead her response to speaking to my daughter in a rough manner was, "you can only ask someone something so many times". And the closest thing to an apology was, "I'm sorry your daughter is upset because her mouth hurts", when I had just told her my daughter was crying because of the way she treated her. She saw my daughter cry after she finished with her teeth, and no matter how much she denies and doesn't take accountability, I know that deep inside she knew she was in the wrong because when she went to clean my son's teeth, it was a night and day difference. Actions speak louder than words, and she really deserves to be fired. If this practice values their reputation they will do that, but if not, Kylie Fountain, I hope that you will mature enough one day to reflect on your actions of 5/29/24, and call us to apologize because that is the human thing to do. I know it was probably embarrassing and difficult to be made aware of your behavior in front of your coworkers, but you and I both know the truth, and if you can't learn from this, PLEASE change your career. I hope your coworkers don't turn a blind eye because they actually seem to be kind to children. read more

Before seeing Islands Pediatric Dentistry for a lip and tongue tie procedure Alex didn't eat anything! His weight was dropping and I was overwhelmed and spent all day every day just trying to get enough sustenance in him to keep him healthy. A lot of tears were shed by this stressed out momma! We were in food therapy, I was taking courses on how to get him to eat, I completely stopped sleeping due to anxiety. I saw small changes within a few weeks of the procedure. The big changes showed up about 1-1.5 months after the procedure. It took him some time to figure out how to use his mouth after being tied up for so long. Now here he is eating chicken fries, string cheese, spinach and romaine lettuce salad, drinking from a sippy cup nipple, and trying to use a fork! Watching him eat is therapeutic now. Thank you! (P.S. I actually slept last night) read more

Do not go here. Period. I have proof that these horrible people are just looking to get your money at the expense of your child's well-being. We went here to get a diagnosis of work that was just horrific. I immediately felt ashamed that my child's teeth had deteriorated so much during the pandemic that I was in fact a horrible mother. The dentist told me he wanted to avoid my child going to the hospital and the work involved, of course, General Anesthesia, because he had like 8 cavities and needed 5 crowns?!!! Holy H! I asked for the X-rays since it just felt off. I emailed them to our pediatric dentist in Tijuana who had seen our child before. After being told the work needed was far less, we took him to another highly rated dentist in a Gilbert for a third opinion. The exact same work as our second opinion from Tijuana. We had the work done at Dentists of Gilbert Crossroads and was very relieved he needed 1/3 of the work! We will be reporting them to the BBB and whatever dental board reviews such things, but in the meantime please consider these people wanted to give 5 crowns when only 2 were needed. They would have put my child under GA when it can be dangerous and should only be used when absolutely necessary. ALSO, their white crown option was like $450 p/ tooth when DOGC was like a $100 upgrade? I'll have to double check the prices but I was speechless when I saw the breakdown in comparison. Really horrible, I feel so bad for any family who has put their child under the care of this office when it is so clear the goal is money NOT care! I'm sure they will fire back some crazy response to my post. I will update with X-rays and quotes when I have more time. Please do not go here!!! Oh also DOGC mentioned they have had patients from here with similar experiences... read more

First visit last week, but so far my girls and I are happy! Definitely eased a lot of nervousness both my first had due to their last dentist (mainly my oldest). But I I happy, and they are happy. Awesome staff and very clean read more

beware the older lady here is rude and bad with children, definado not want her working on my children next time.

I just left Islands Pediatric Dentistry and it was NOT pleasant. Was the building nice? Yes. BUT, my experience with the dental assistant was appalling. She insisted that X-rays are REQUIRED for the first visit. She rolled her eyes and spoke down to me as if my request to wait and speak to the doctor about X-rays was ridiculous. My son just had a panoramic X-ray at his orthodontist and I was on the fence about allowing more X-rays at the time. Once the doctor came in, my experience with him was disappointing. It was very uncomfortable and I did not feel like I had a voice there. He was telling me to do what I'm comfortable with, while at the same time telling me to just do what he says because "he's the doctor of 34 years". I decided to leave and not do anything. I'll be going to a dentist that is open to a mother's questions and one that has friendly staff. I would not recommend this place to anyone who doesn't blindly trust all common medical practices. read more

I would highly recommend Islands pediatric dentistry. Doctors are very knowledgeable , friendly and patient. The staff has same vibe too they are all very friendly and professional. read more

I have taken my son to two dentists in Mesa and he has not had a pleasant experience. I decided to take him to Islands Pediatric Dentistry because it is a five-star on Yelp. My first impression when I walked into the office was: "Wow!" It is a brand new office which is perfect. It really made me and my son feel very comfortable. The receptionist, the two dental assistants who helped my son get through the whole cleaning process the first time in quite awhile, and of course, Dr Rez. I have never seen a dentist smile like that. His smile is welcoming and of course, his teeth are white! I definitely recommend Islands Pediatrics Dentistry to anyone who is needing a professional and welcoming dentist. read more

My daughter had a major chipped Tooth on the weekend. Dr Rez and his staff were booked solid, but squeezed us in knowing it could be serious. We got in and within 10-15 mins they got to my daughter and took care of her. Dr Rez was so professional, kind and made her feel comfortable. I highly recommend and did I mention they have fun office with cute paintings for kid's :) read more

Fantastic! So glad I found this place. Dr. Rez and the staff put my my mind at ease and answered my Many questions. The staff was prepared to address my son's sensory issues.

Looking forward to better sleep and less teeth grinding for the kiddo. Thank you Islands Pediatrics Dentistry. read more

Dr. Rez and his staff are nothing short of amazing. They put this mom's nerves at ease. The treatment plan was conservative yet proactive. We appreciate the time spent. You don't feel rushed. Thank you Dr. Rez and staff! read more

We would ONLY recommend Island Pediatric Dentistry for kids! My daughter had once had a horrible experience elsewhere and when we found Dr. Rez and his staff we felt right at home! He made my daughter feel more comfortable about a routine cleaning, and now she no longer cries when I tell her we are going to the Dentist. Both of my sons got a lip and tongue tie corrected by Dr. Rez and he made the whole process not as stressful as I was prepared for. I wanted to cry that day as it was and the staff really took care of me even though I wasn't even the patient! We have been here several times and will continue to go until all of my kids are 18. I can't Thank you ALL enough! You all are genuine and can tell you truly do love what you do! See you soon! read more

Seriously the best experience I've had with my 2 toddler boys. The staff from the moment you walk in the door is amazing! The hygienist is so sweet and even sings to them while cleaning.

If I could give 100 stars I would! I stumbled upon Islands Pediatric because they do Saturday Appointments which is great for working parents. Customer Service was amazing over the phone, in person, and just overall throughout the whole dental process. Dr. Rez is so attentive to me and to my children's needs. My 1 year old had a tongue and lip tie corrected. IT CHANGED HIS LIFE! It has only been 20 days and He sleeps better, eats better, I cried when I seen him stick his tongue out for the first time. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Rez! My ten year old even loves him and his staff! This is a huge deal because what 10 year old loves the dentist? In addition to the great customer service, great dental work, and awesome hours, the office is also super cool. A beautiful cool island vibe with screens in almost every room, a children's play area, a selfie station etc. This place is the Disneyland of Dentists! I highly recommend!!!! read more

If I could give zero stars I would! We have scheduled and been canceled on 3 times in a row! If you don't have time to see my child then quit wasting our time and just say that!!! Sick my butt, how is possible he's been out sick 3 times and come back in to work and it's just on the days my kid is scheduled?? Super unprofessional. I do not recommend this place unless you enjoy getting your time wasted and gas wasted! Oh and each time they kept saying they had called and left a message but there never once was a missed call OR voicemail left! read more

My 4yo has his first dentist visit today and I am so glad we chose Islands. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. The dental hygienist made us feel so comfortable.

Every single aspect of this office is wonderful! (My 10yr old son has Fragile-X Syndrome & Autism) The staff was beyond amazing when we arrived. It's one thing to put his diagnoses on the paperwork but then see the staff working with him actually know, was shocking in the best way. They all made sure to speak to him instead of just me. Taking their time to go by his pace with each step ensuring they explained each process to him. Both Dr Rez & Jose obviously knew exactly what to do. From building rapport, narration (of what they were doing), verbal reinforcement and being flexible. As not only a mother of a special needs child but having a career in the field of ABA for 15yrs, it was refreshing to say the least. They made sure to take their time without making me or my son feel rushed. The administrative staff behind the desk was just as sweet. The vibes, attitudes and office itself was nothing less than positive!! I will absolutely be referring them to not only friends but clients as well. read more

I called to see if the insurance we have was covered and the woman on the phone kept trying to get me in for a $50 consultation and then she said after the consultation she would tell me if it was covered! I gave her all insurance info and she still wouldn't tell me if we were in network! She was extra condescending and extremely rude! We haven't actually been here but after my phone experience to set up an appointment I will never go here! I kept asking her if we were in network and her reply was "you need to come in for the $50 consultation, no matter what you still need to pay the $50 and then by the end of the visit I can tell you. Do you understand?" Ummmm yes I understand but all I need to know was if my insurance was in-network read more

Island pediatrics is amazing! They have wonderful nurses and everyone is welcoming and understanding of all the things we brought to them.

We had actually missed our appointment last week and they were kind enough to reschedule it for today. read more

Dr Rez and staff are awesome with children. Don't hesitate to call them for your dental needs.

My son has basically been a patient since this practice opened in 2017. Office is new, clean and inviting. I explained over the phone that my child was recently diagnosed ASD and had just left a pediatric dental place that was a traumatic experience for him. I explained that my son has a hard time with new places, new doctors, anyone near his mouth. How I have never been able to get my son to sit in the exam chair and have a proper dental exam. To my surprise, the receptionist relayed all this information to the dental staff. Called my son by his nickname (preferred versus his legal name) empathized with him and explained everything that would go on during this visit. Asked if he understood and if he was ok with it. For the first time ever, my son was able to sit in the exam chair, have x rays taken, and teeth cleaned all without having a meltdown and instead cooperating! It was our first successful dentist visit without either one of us leaving in tears. I will continue to recommend Dr. Rez to all my friends and let other fellow ASD parents know of this practice! read more
