Received a referral from our pediatrician and so happy we did! They have a spacious parking lot - easy to find parking and a fun play area for the kids at the front office. So far all the staff we have encountered have been fantastic. They are all very knowledgeable, professional and detail oriented. Dr. Sara is also very knowledgeable, detail oriented and able to work gently with toddlers. Love this office and so happy we are here. read more

My family and I absolutely love North Star! Their office is so welcoming and spacious, my little one loves coming in to get his teeth cleaned! Dr Silvestri is very thorough with her exam as well as the dental assistants who walk you through everything they're doing. After my son's appointment Dr Silvestri called us to check on how he was doing post op, they are amazing with their patient care! We won't go elsewhere and look forward to visiting the office! read more

My kids are always excited to go to the dentist! Everyone we encounter onsite or over the phone is welcoming and helpful.

My son has been to see Dr. Sara three times now, and although he's still a bit apprehensive about going to the dentist, I can see that it's getting a little better each time. The office: Clean and bright - I'm usually a bit wary letting my son dig into toys at doctor offices because they never look super clean, but North Star has a couple of Green Toys trucks (not a ton of toys just scattered all around), some cute books and coloring pages. Everything is neat and in its place, without looking sterile. There's a "secret" nook in the back of the office that my son loves to sit in as we wait to be called. The set-up: Once you're called in, the checkup area is just as fun. I love how it's not compartmentalized - there's 3 patient chairs right next to each other. I think this helps my son to see other kids getting their teeth clean and that it's not scary. They had Paw Patrol playing above the cleaning chair, which helped distract him. And the balloon and toy vending machine is a fun "prize" for him after the cleaning is completed. The staff: everyone we've had the pleasure of interacting with has been amazing. The staff is what makes this office so special. Front desk, dental hygienists and Dr Sara - all are friendly, easy to talk to and PATIENT! You can absolutely tell they all love working there. read more

North Star Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Mill Creek, Washington

Wow, this place is TOP NOTCH! I had so much anxiety about taking my son to his first dentist appointment. He is in a screaming phase at the moment, and the very definition of "terrible two,"but they were complete pros and we were in and out in under 40 minutes! First off, I reeeeeally appreciate offices that provide online forms. Filling out a stack of paperwork while minding my toddler is a tall order, so being able to fill out the forms at a convenient time and place is a lifesaver! Second, the waiting room with the play room was amazing! Sadly (and gladly) we didn't get to play long, as we were called in right away by a friendly assistant named McKenna. She was wonderful with my son, who was bouncing around the office like a pinball. She talked me through what the visit would entail, and was just really very pleasant. Dr. Sara is the BEST! She was super friendly, understanding, and non-judgmental about the realities of toddlers and dental hygiene. I did not expect for one second that my 2 year old would tolerate a stranger poking around his mouth, but she got in there brushed, flossed, and varnished his teeth at lightning speed. Also, The TV mounted on the ceiling playing cartoons is expert level! So glad we chose this office for our son's dental care! read more

Our daughter is always relaxed during Dr Sara's dental visit. Last year, during testing times, she had a toothache, of apparently unknown cause. Dr Sara went miles beyond what is usually expected of a dentist. It was a bit urgent and she went out of the way and saw my daughter while taking full precautions against COVID-19 !Found the problem and remedied it. Unforgettable experience ! I there was an award for the most considerate and professional dentist, it would go to Dr Sara and her rock star team, hands down ! Why is the maximum yelp rating only 5 stars ? read more

We came to North Star out of an abundance of recommendations on a local parenting community group on Facebook. I pretty much knew my 2yo would not enjoy the experience (he's a strong willed kid), but I wanted to go somewhere with him where they'd be well prepared. First off, the front desk staff was super friendly as soon as we walked in. My son bee-lined it for their play area while I was filling out patient intake paperwork. The office was bright, clean, and super kid friendly. We didn't have to wait long to be taken back by hygienist Rebeca. She was so sweet with my son who was making strange big time. She tried showing him some of her "tools", to which he had no interest in... but my point being, Rebeca was patient and understanding. Dr. Sara is super friendly, and understood my son being scared. In terms of her time with him it was quick but efficient. I had to hold his arms down whie she checked out his teeth, and she was both through and quick! So grateful to the community for the recommendation. While I fully expect my son to make strange again (that's just the kind of kid he is ‍), it's reassuring to know we have a dentist and office who knows what to expect! read more

When we moved to the Everett area we were having a difficult time finding a pediatric dentist that we love. For a little bit we had the kids going to our family dentist. They were great, but I really love the kid friendly experiences you get from a pediatric dental office. It is also really comforting to know that they have more experience with children and child related issues. After looking through many reviews, I finally came across North Star and was won over by all the amazing reviews. My youngest daughter had her first appointment with them recently. She is seven years old and never really had any issues with prior dental appointments. The building was easy to find and they have a parking lot so parking was also a breeze. The waiting area is very kid friendly! It is very inviting and clean. There is a smaller waiting area for children just beside the main waiting area. Plenty of toys, books and TVs to keep them occupied until their appointment. The staff was very friendly. Everyone from the receptionist to the dentist herself were very nice, explained everything fully and made sure that we were comfortable during our time there. When we were called back the whiteboard in the room welcomed my daughter by name. It was a nice little addition to an already amazing experience. Everyone who worked on her teeth took the time to really explain what they were doing and made sure she was comfortable before going forward. The dentist took the time to really explain what she was seeing and answered all my questions in full. During the cleaning they had a movie up for her on the ceiling to keep her distracted. When we left she got to take home a little prize and a balloon. She never really had an opinion on dental appointments before. She never really hated or loved them, but as we were leaving she actually said "that was really fun". I absolutely loved them and have now switched all my kids over to North Star. read more

We love, love looooooooooooooooove EVERYONE at North Star Pediatric Dentistry! My 2.5 year old daughter has been there 3 times so far, and they have all been great with her, despite one of those times consisting of a toddler meltdown for the entire visit. We plan on bringing our son here once he has teeth, too :) First of all, the office is convenient to get to with ample parking, and the lobby is super cute and clean with a nautical theme, toys, books, etc. Reception is quick and easy. Inside, you find a clean and bright space that is very kid friendly with TVs on the ceiling that play cartoons, "science projects" that show what sugar does to your teeth, kid-friendly flavors of tooth polish, and a very knowledgeable and friendly staff. You really get the feeling of being part of a family when you are here. Dr. Sara and her staff remember things that you told them six months ago! Ann Marie is sweet and patient while cleaning the little chompers, and Dr. Sara takes time to answer questions and educate us on the latest and greatest. They take an interest in our whole family like we are real people, not just patients who come and go. I honestly can't say enough great things about the whole experience so far. We feel so fortunate to have found this office, and we look forward to coming here for years to come. Thank you for all that you do, Dr. Sara and staff! You guys are the BEST! read more

Super great dentist for kids. Loved her and my 4yr old daughter loced her too. She wa sso ecited to go to her first visit to the dentist and they made her feel so so welcoming and comfortable. She even told me mom i love going to the dentist i want to go back right now lol. Also all the staff there is so welcoming and nice i was amazed. Definitely I recommend taking your kids their with no hesitation. The waiting time was not even 10 min and they explain everything to kids and me. They are so sweet and good with kids. Loved our first experience with them. read more

Dr. Sara and the whole team are wonderful! My son has always been scared of the dentist, he still is. They are so patient with him and never judgmental. They are always welcoming and positive. They have tried different ways of introducing the tools and environment, and though he is still scared and doesn't allow them to clean with anything other than a toothbrush, I have confidence that eventually, he will come around. read more

I love Dr.Sara and her entire team. My 6 year old has a lot of anxiety with doc appointments and I should say that Dr.Sara and her team was really amazing and very quick and thorough of their findings. When we stepped out, my daughter asked when could we go back again...so super happy with the entire team here...KEEP ROCKING!!! read more

My toddler loves coming here! They have screens playing kiddie content on the ceiling and headphones. Give us cute treat bags with new stuff every time. I knew I was in the right place though when the dentist sang to my daughter during the exam lol. Only con would be their process for payments is inconvenient as they have no online payment option. You have to mail it in or physically drop it off. read more

Exceeded my expectations! I have a screamer and they were so patient! My 2yr old ended up loving the dentist!

I just took my two year old here for extensive work. He had 8 cavities (I feel terrible about this) and had to go under general anesthesia. Dr. Sara was so sweet. She called me ahead of time and chatted over the phone with me to answer any questions. She also spent a lot of time with us before the procedure and after the procedure. Her receptionist/assistant Emily was really helpful too. She kept me updated during the procedure, letting me know what was going on back in the operating room. The dental anesthesiologist, Dr. Hanna Kim (Smile Anesthesia) was phenomenal as well. They treated me and my son like family and it was just what I needed to ease my nerves of putting him under general anesthesia. The facility is brand spanking new and beautiful. Lots of books and toys for kids to play with. After the procedure, they gave my son a popsicle and a gift bag. He loved both. My son is doing great, almost like nothing happened at all. Dr. Hanna Kim even called me a couple hours later just to check in. I can't believe the red carpet treatment I have received from this place. Also, this is the second pediatric dentist office that I took my son to. I took him to another place last week, not going to name the place b/c they were fine too, but I ended up at Dr. Sara's under recommendation of a friend. Dr. Sara's treatment plan was a lot more conservative than the other dentist (the other dentist planned on pulling four teeth, and Dr. Sara only pulled 2) and the out of pocket came out to a fraction of what it was going to cost at the other place. Also, Dr. Sara does not use any mercury in any of her fillings or other materials. This place is a parent's dream! read more

Stay away from this place! Higher prices then other kids dentist. Don't overpay for a basic service! read more

I don't leave many reviews but this place is wonderful! The office staff is welcoming and the office decor is cute and everything feels clean and new. The dental staff is friendly and fun. They do such a fabulous job with kids that my dentist-shy 4yo didn't want to leave when we were done! Both my kids can have their cleanings at the same time and there's even a small corner-type play area inside the clinic so if one finishes first the other can play while you are able to keep an eye on kiddo still in the chair. My only complaint is that they don't take adults! read more

Very nice and patient doctors and nurses. My kid's first visit went very well. There is a small toy area. My kid left with a balloon and several bath toy. read more

They are so nice and friendly. They explain everything to the kids and make sure they are comfortable. My daughter loves coming to the dentist! read more

Took my toddler here for his first dentist appointment and they were absolutely wonderful with him. They didn't rush him into anything and didn't force anything on him that he seemed nervous to do. He didn't want to sit in the chair at all, and I was expecting to need to force him into it but they had an alternative option of letting him sit in my lap and it worked really well. They let him hold and look at the tools and I think that helped ease his mind a lot. The whole office seemed super exciting for him and all he wanted to do was play with all their toys, so I think that will be a good motivator for him to want to go back. All of the staff was extremely nice and helpful with all my questions and concerns and I felt very comfortable around them all with my son. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends with kiddos! read more

Excellent experience. I learned better tricks for holding my toddler to brush his teeth. I also received excellent information and support for addressing my concerns regarding my son's tongue tie. I was glad to have a provider listen and take considerable time with me. The facility is beautiful and sunlit too. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

I could not recommend this place more. My daughter was terrified after several attempts to take X-rays and have her teeth cleaned at our normal dentist. We decided to try out a pediatric dentist. We've now been here 3 times since and have always had a great result. Both of our children love this place. All of the employees are very inviting, attentive, and great with our kids. I'd refer anyone here. read more

Such a fun, educational experience for my 1 year old and me. TVs on the ceiling with any show your kiddo likes, play areas, a "Learning Lab", and very kind & professional staff. Thanks for a great first dental visit for my child! read more

The office is fun, clean, and happy! The entire team is friendly. They understand how long a toddler can stay still (not long!) so Dr. S talks to mom first then does the teeth stuff on little one as efficiently as possible! She had my daughter sit on lap and lean back which helped a lot. Then comes balloons and toys, so my little girl didn't even have time to cry. Can't say enough good things. Referred my friend and her kid and they agree it is the best pediatric dental office! read more

I cannot rave enough about how much I loved this dentist and office for my daughter! The dentist even sang to my daughter as she brushed her teeth to distract her. They all go over and beyond to ensure the best care for children and I appreciated all the tips they gave for her care. read more

Wow. We had our first appointment today for my 2 year old. We were impressed at every level. Receptionists, office decor and play area, hygienist Ann Marie, and friendly dentist! So glad we found this place! read more

Honestly, I haven't seen customer service like this in years!! From phone calls (with Emily) to the in office visit every staff member brightened our day. My 4 year old daughter had her teeth cleaned and had to have x-rays. She gags easily and the dentist (Dr. Sara) and the dental hygienist (Jessica) made her feel like she did amazing and made a game of it for her. All staff members were knowledgeable and efficient while making us feel right at home. We are thrilled to have found such a great team! I can't rave enough about them. read more

UNBELIEVABLE SERVICE!! My sweet boy had to have some serious dental work done and Dr. Sara was amazing- she was very encouraging with my search for second opinions (she was correct on all fronts) and the few times I backed out because of anxiety. He needed General Anesthesia, which was terrifying to me and I didn't sleep a wink before his appointment. I walked in this morning to a giant hug from Dr. Sara and her warm, confident and calming manner set me at ease. Her way with kids is unbelievable- I was very nervous how my son would react when he had to go back alone, she immediately started a conversation with him about parachutes and he never noticed my absence! She had someone giving me updates every 5-10 mins so I wouldn't be nervous which was greatly appreciated. I was confident in her abilities but the comfort my son and I received was beyond anything I expected. I will forever be grateful to her and her team for making an awful situation so much more bearable! Your child is in AMAZING hands with Dr. Sara! read more

Dr. Sara and her staff is the best, hands down. Lip tie, tongue tie, general oral care you name it. My son (2.5yo) loves going there. Wonderful atmosphere. read more

Best kids dentistry ever!!! The staff are amazing and my girls have been seeing Dr. Sara since they were 1years old. They get excited when I tell them they have an appointment coming up. They have such fun kid areas for them to play during their visit! Everything goes smooth and quick! There is never a wait and everyone is so friendly and amazing!! read more

I just had the least stressful experience I've ever had taking my son in public at his first visit at North Star. The whole place is designed for kids, there are fun toys while you wait and the back is just amazing. More toys, stuffed animals on the dental chairs and movies on the ceiling for kids to watch while they are in the chairs with their colored headphones and sunglasses. Dr. Sara and her assistants were so sweet and patient with him he felt comfortable right away. While Dr. Sara talked to me about his dental care her assistant took care of my son and got him a balloon and animal flossers and let him pick a brush. Normally he would have ran away while I tried to pay attention! I also love that this is an all female office. The whole staff clearly love their jobs and are great at it. I'm so happy I came here instead of my normal Dentist - night and day difference. Also, according to my normal dentist, they would have sent kids to a pediatric dentistry anyways if they have a cavity because they specialize in kids. LOVE this place! read more

Love this place! Every single person is so friendly. Dr. Sara is so good with my kids. And goes over everything with me and answers all my questions. My 3yr old son was so scared of the dentist before and now he walks right in and sits down in the chair with no problems. read more

Dentist for both our daughters this practice is highly professional, polite, kind , patient and incredibly thorough cannot recommend enough for any aged child. read more

Dr. Sara and her staff are ALL amazing! My 3 year old daughter loves going to the dentist and brags about it at preschool after. Dr. Sara takes the time to show her what she's going to do and she sings songs, talks about her favorite things, whatever it takes to keep the children calm and comfortable. My daughter can get a little shy so when she willingly sits with Dr. Sara, I know it's a great fit!!! I would highly recommend this office to any of my friends looking for a pediatric dentist!! read more

I take my 5 year old son here and he loves it! He always has a great time and the dentist and her assistants are so amazing with kids. This place is truly a gem! He also loves that he gets a balloon and a token to pick a small toy. He loves coming to the dentist because of it. read more

I came here after reading reviews on Yelp and I am so glad we did. It was the first time for my daughter to go to the dentist, so I expected her to cry and she did. Dr. Sara and everybody else in this office was so kind, gentle, friendly and patient. My daughter likes Disney princess. Because my daughter was still upset, Dr. Sara sang some songs for her. I thought it was very sweet. I recommend this office to everyone! read more

The dentist is kind , patient , professional . The staff is friendly . Good environment for kids !

My daughter really liked it there. The doctor is very nice. All staff are professional and friendly. I highly recommend Northstar.

I couldn't have imagined a better experience for my son's first trip to the dentist at 15 months old. The office is beautiful, incredibly kid friendly. The staff is amazing. Dr. Sara is amazing. My son had an absolute ball. We would hang out there on a rainy day just to play if that was at all reasonable! So happy to have found this incredible dentist so close to home!! read more

My husband and I were very pleased with the clinic, staff and doctor. It was our sons first dental appointment, so we were worried and unsure of how we and our son would take to this office. We were more than impressed with their outstanding customer service, warm/welcoming demeanor, professional/friendly/informative manner, as well as the clean and inviting atmosphere. We will be recommending this clinic to all of our friends/family. read more
