I found this practice on a whim while searching for pediatric dentists. It's doesn't have a formal…read morename but don't let that turn you away because this is a complete dental clinic specifically for children. The clinic has two dentists, four hygienists, and a couple front desk staff. The office is located in an office park building in Maple Grove. The waiting room is so welcoming. It's tastefully decorated for kids. Cartoons on the TV, free Pac-Man arcade game, lots of books, and magazine for the adults. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. The exam space is great, too. It's an open-air concept with benches and art for privacy rather than walls or exam rooms. My favorite part of our visit was the staff. As someone who despises trips to the dentist myself, I have put off my son's first visit for years. At 4.5, I worried that he would be scared and non-compliant. But our hygienist made him feel very comfortable. I appreciated that she showed him the chair and let him try each of the tools before using them. The cleaning was very gentle. She took breaks as often as he asked. After he picked out a prize and got a sticker for being cavity-free, we saw the dentist (Dr. Borodkin). She reviewed his chart and took the time to review his X-rays in detail. I was worried that she would scold me for waiting so long to bring him in. Not at all! She was informative and supportive, not judgmental. We left with a 'swag' bag - toothbrush, paste, a water bottle, a really nifty flosser, and a save the date for our next appointment. We will DEFINITELY be going back.

As an adult with dentist anxiety, I had MUCH delayed taking my kids and both had cavities... what I had dreaded (and expected). However, the way the staff and Dr. Venetia helped make them feel comfortable and calm (and informed about what's happening every step of the way) was nothing short of miraculous. No tears. No pain. No fear... for the kids or for me! :) I'm SO impressed with their approach, kindness and knowledge about kids and their teeth. Thank GOODNESS I found this clinic.

We were referred to Camp Smiles after moving to Minnesota. Our initial interactions with the…read moredentists were fantastic. But as the kids got older, something shifted and I did not feel the dentists (or billing) cared about their patients. What pushed me to write this was that my daughter had a tooth that wouldn't come out. So we made an appointment to have it taken out. Our regular dentist wasn't available so we saw Dr. Bobbi. Dr. Bobbi was so disrespectful to my daughter who is 12 years old. Not only did she put down my daughter's feeling about wanting the tooth out (Dr. Bobbi told her to just wiggle it out, which she had been trying since Nov. and my daughter was sick of it and wanted it out), she also told her she shouldn't be allowed to brush her teeth by herself because she had plague near her gums on the side of her mouth where her loose tooth was. My daughter cried in the car after feeling like a baby because of how the Dr. spoke with her. We just recently got the bill and found out from the bill that Camp Smiles isn't in network for us anymore. When we went for the visit, they took our insurance card and didn't tell us that MetLife is out of network, after asking if our insurance is still in network. This just was upsetting because companies like Camp Smilies should know what insurance companies are in-network and if they had questions to check before the appointment, since I specifically asked. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Coming straight from your billing departments, you do not offer estimates as you don't have access to all insurance billing plans. Please don't share information that isn't accurate regarding billing. We also had issues with their billing when my son turned 12 years old. They billed our insurance as an adult. Our insurance wouldn't pay for his cleaning because he was 12 and wasn't covered as an adult. There was a lot of back and forth, which Camp Smiles said was in their policy to charge for a full adult cleaning for a 12 year old, but I was never sent that policy after asking multiple times. My recommendation is to find a different pediatric dentist. This one will just give you headaches with billing if you have children older than toddler. And do not see Dr. Bobbi. I don't feel like she should be a pediatric dentist with her "chair side" manner.

Dr. Brittany was also amazing- while taking the time to explain things as she went along!

I'd also like to add that of the other staff members I came in contact, all had upbeat attitudes and seem to enjoy their job!
