Updating my review from a year ago! So my daughter is now 3yo and no longer cries when we see Dr…read more Davis! She enjoys going to the dentist. Today I took my son. He just turned one a few months ago and this was his first dental appointment. Per usual I got a text message reminding me to schedule an appointment for my daughter. I called the office and scheduled an appointment for her and asked if I can include my son. They took his info down and scheduled an appointment same day and time for both kids. When we arrived we were greeted at the front and I signed some forms and we sat down in the waiting area. No more than 10mins later they called us back. They took dental X-rays for my daughter and they both had 2 chairs side by side ready and cleaned. The RDA were all so nice and gentle with my kids and gave my toddler an option to choose what type of polish flavor. Once Dr.Davis got around to seeing us he was professional, kind, knowledgeable, he's great with the kids and he still sings lol He took the time to explain and gave all the rational behind his recommendations. They had balloons today! My kids made it to the No Cavities Wall. This where they can write their name on a paper they provide and stick it on the wall. They also give tokens so that the kids can get a prize at the end. When we got to the prizes my daughter usually gets a ball but today they didn't have any and she said it out loud and one of the staff members heard and came to us with 3 of them in his hand and offered it to her. Such a kind and generous gesture. We were in and out of our appointment all within 20mins!!! I truly enjoy taking my kids here. Staff is friendly, they do an amazing job with the kids. Dr.Davis is wonderful! Love that they work fast too, as a mother of two who takes my kids to their appointments alone it's always nice to be in and out because managing 2 kids alone can be a bit much. This place really caters to the kids they have different play areas for the kids as well. Highly recommended!

I called and made the appointment but was told someone would call me about whether or not my insurance would be accepted, prior to the appointment. A few hours before the appointment, which was going to be almost an hour's drive away, I still hadn't heard from them so I followed up. The guy who answered the phone had an attitude from the minute he answered the phone and seemed to take everything I said as a personal insult. He then wanted to argue with me about whether or not I was being "rude" to him rather than just answering my questions about whether our insurance was accepted and whether I needed to drive an hour for our appointment which was just a few hours away. He told me someone did call me (no one did, and why would I be calling if someone had?). He then said they do not take our insurance! When I told him I'm frustrated that I could have driven an hour and then this would have happened at the office, he acted like it was my fault. I'm glad I didn't go and I would never want my child to go to such an uncaring and unkind place.

Over her short years I noticed chocking in infancy, mouth breathing, light snoring and discussed with her medical doctors - no one seemed concerned UNTIL I brought her to the dentist!!! Dr. K immediately starting asking history, because he noticed her airway. He immediately referred her for a sleep study through valley children's. Turns out her airway is almost completely obstructed. So surgery was going to be required. But what is most impressive, is that during her sleep study (because of his referral) turns out that she is not receiving enough oxygen to sleep. She requires an urgent C-pap machine, at only 4 years of age. My heart breaks as a mom, I didn't know this sooner and as a medical professional myself. It angers me her medical doctors dismissed all the signs... but Dr. K caught it, on her first visit with him! I can never begin to repay him! Going to the dentist saves lives. (Period) no matter your age, young or old! Thank you Dr. K and team!

First time taking my son here, since our insurance has changed. Technology has really come a long…read moreway. Staff was helpful. You check in through an iPad. The room is full of painted tooth images. Very kid friendly. They had a tv put in the ceiling for kids to watch while the dentist look in their teeth and had them wear sunglasses so that the light isn't to bright for them. And got a free electric toothbrush on first visit. I recall the Dentist name he was really nice but talked so fast. Only thing was he forgot to say when he was putting in my sons teeth before he did it and I had to ask him. It was Fluoride vitamins.

I have never been treated so poorly by a pediatric dentist. Yesterday, I was told my son's tooth…read morecould be filled instead of getting a crown. Today, after he was already numbed and on laughing gas, the dentist suddenly announced they were pulling the tooth. I refused--he starts school tomorrow--and the dentist then refused to fill another tooth we had discussed, telling me to "find a different dentist." My child was left confused, scared, and half-numb for no reason. This is not how families should be treated.

Poor Communication and Last-Minute Treatment Changes…read more Yesterday, I spoke directly with the pediatric dentist about my son's treatment for 2 teeth. The dentist said there was a possibility he might need a baby crown for one tooth, but after I explained that I didn't want that, he told me it would most likely be possible to be left the tooth alone instead and that a crown wouldn't be necessary. But the another tooth need the filling. I repeated to him that it's going to be just the filling and no crown. The dentist confirmed. Today, when I brought my son in for the scheduled filling, the dental assistants said it's going to be extraction and filling, so I explained to her. She said she will let the dentist know. RDH had already numbed his mouth and given him laughing gas before the dentist came in. Only then did the dentist tell me that they were going to pull the tooth. I told him I did not want the tooth pulled the day before my son's first day of school and he didn't mention about the extraction in our conversation yesterday. The dentist then said he would not be able to fill the second tooth we had discussed and told me to "find a different dentist and get a second opinion." I left feeling upset and frustrated by the lack of communication, the abrupt change in treatment after my son was already numbed, and the way my concerns were dismissed. Parents deserve honesty, respect, and clear information about their child's dental care.

The check in process is simple and they have you sign any necessary forms as you arrive. Any payment is taken care of at the end. Reception staff are always kind and attentive. Most forms that I need to sign are prefilled with my daughters name and the date. In the waiting room, there is a play area for kids with books, legos, a play kitchen, and hand sanitizer is available too. They have one tv in the front that plays a movie, and that movie continues in the back when they take the kids back. We have never waited long and are usually called back pretty quickly. The dental hygienists and RDAs are all very friendly. They all have kind personalities and it definitely feels like they were called to work with kiddos. The first couple of visits, as our daughter was getting used to the idea of a dentist visit, they allowed her to sit in my lap and tilted her back to check out her teeth. (I also have caught on that as she ages, there is one thing they add to the appointments each time. They kind of just brushed her teeth and felt her teeth at age 2/2.5-they they did an x-ray at 3 but only of certain angles, then they added the scraping tool, and did x-rays of more angles. I think that helps kids adapt to the dentist and also doesn't throw everything at once.) 1.5 years and a few visits later, she lays on the table and watches the movie while they work. She enjoys using the sunglasses offered for the bright light! There is also a train table in the back, and in between the DH/RDA visit and the Dentists visit they let the kids go play if they want. We usually only get about 5-8 minutes with the dentist, but this is not unlike any other dentist office. We have seen Dr. Kunkel and Dr. Addie, and we thought both were great and offered good suggestions and encouragement. They have also been clear about treatment plans, if any, and answer all of our questions. Reason for loss of star: I will say, the only thing that may not be enjoyed by some families, is lack of privacy in the main treatment area. The treatment tables are side by side 4 on each side, in an open space. I think the most patients at one time that I have seen are 6. This configuration definitely helps kids understand the visit process, they can see other kids having their cleanings and maybe younger ones catch on that "it's not that bad". But then if a kid is upset, the rest that are present hear and see that too. Additionally, the lack of privacy has lead to our family hearing what is going on with another kiddos teeth and the treatment they have to go through, when really you would think due to HIPPA, that would/should be a more private conversation. For me, and our family, we don't mind...yet. I also know they do have private rooms too- but I'm unsure what those are used for/we have never been offered that as an option for cleanings. So maybe if privacy is a concern for you and your family, ask about options for private space? With that we would still recommend!
