Nemetz for a second opinion after another…read moredentist (not a pediatric specialist) suggested cavities needed to be filled and recommended a frenectomy using a laser. I wanted a pediatric dentist's perspective, and I'm so glad we came here. SN: Dr. Marinela M. Nemetz runs the pediatric side, her husband runs the adult side. I'm only reviewing the Peds side. Dr. M. Nemetz carefully explained why the frenectomy was needed, but also why she does not recommend using lasers for this procedure on children. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and in a way that made me feel informed and confident in the plan moving forward. What stood out most was how much effort she put into making my daughter feel comfortable. She has such a gentle, kid-friendly way of speaking, and my daughter really liked her (and of course, the treasure box at the end!). The office itself is very child-centered, there are games in the waiting area, an open bay setup with multiple chairs, and TVs at each chair so kids can stay relaxed. Children are even encouraged to go back on their own if they feel comfortable. We've decided to make Dr. M. Nemetz our family's pediatric dentist going forward. If you're looking for a dentist who truly understands kids, takes the time to explain everything clearly, and creates a warm, welcoming environment, I highly recommend Dr. Nemetz.

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!!

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.
