once again, beyond amazed and impressed doesnt even cover it! Since the last visit for my now 4 year old his dental anxiety pretty much disappeared during his visit today. He was so excited to get his teeth cleaned and brushed. Dr. Dixon was so amazing and calm with his demeanor my son was actually happy to open his mouth to let Dr. Dixon evaluate his teeth. He has never done that in the past at his dental check ups. The front office staff is always energetic and has friendly smiles and the environment is so welcoming. I cant that Dr. Dixons office enough for their amazing work! read more

So grateful for this wonderful dental office for my 2 year old! The office team is very friendly and competent. The dental assistants are very patient and kind. Dr. Chris is simply wonderful! Thank you so much for the excellent care Peak team! read more

I love this place. The hygienists are super kind and friendly to my kids. My daughter is always scared for them to do anything in her mouth and the way they act around her always gets her to do what they need because they're so kind and help her to trust them (not easy with my girl!). They found a few cavities but showed us the x-rays and spots to watch. We just went again and everything looks good from the new xrays and watch spots. The kids got to choose a toy and were given some stickers as well as the typical toothbrush and toothpaste to go home with. I wish my own dental practice had TVs in the ceiling like the kids here get. They also have a play area in the lobby. Very nice place that l trust for my kiddos. I also go to Dr. Thylin in the same building. And they recommended this place for my kiddos. Your kids will get quality care here. read more

My kids love coming here. They literally jump for joy when I tell them we're going to the dentist. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with smiling faces. Stephanie is super helpful with any insurance questions and makes scheduling a breeze. They're super transparent about costs and always upfront about the services being performed. I have 5 kiddos, so getting us in and out in less than an hour is unheard of anywhere else! Danielle and Paola were the girls that cleaned my kid's teeth. They were so patient, kind and gentle. Dr. Chris is truly one of a kind. He never over diagnoses, is never pushy, he always puts the needs of your kiddos first. I know my children are in the best hands when visiting Peak. We'll never go anywhere else. read more

8 years still going strong with the best pediatric dentist we've ever had. 4 kids, their efficiency is literally unmatched in and out like the smoothest dentist appointment we've ever experienced. Staff is amazing, front desk is kind and helpful. Dental assistants are amazing with kids of all ages and comfort level at the dentist and Dr Chris is by far the most genuine person and truly cares about what he does read more

We absolutely love working with Peak Dentistry. Dr. Chris and the entire team are fantastic. They are very skilled, super friendly and always put their patients first. Our mutual patients always have great things to say about their dental experience, whether it's a routine cleaning or a more involved procedure. It's so refreshing to collaborate with a dental office that truly cares about their patients and communicates so well with us. If you're looking for a dentist, check out Dr. Chris at Peak Dentistry. You won't be disappointed! read more

Huge thanks to Dr. Dixon and his amazing team. My son is fearful of getting work done but with the oral conscious sedation and nitrous, he did amazing! read more

Peak Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Carlsbad, California

My kids love coming here. Dr. Dixon is one of the best pediatric dentists in north county and is the only place I would take my kids to the dentist. Dr. Dixon is always concerned about providing the best possible experience for my kids at their appointments. The office staff is courteous, polite and knowledgeable. The cleanings go smoothly and when my daughter had to have a tooth pulled it was so easy and she didn't even notice that it happened. I tell all of my friends to come to Peak Pediatric Dentistry. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this office. Not only are the dentists themselves great and explain everything well and help you weigh pros and cons of certain treatments, but their office staff is also super efficient and responsive. I have already passed their name down to a couple friends with kids and will suggest them to every parent who asks. Excellent care and experience. read more

Dr. Dixon is nice and helpful and his hygienist are good with kids as well. The 2 front desk women are awful. Unhelpful, condescending, unwilling to communicate clearly, so I am done with this office. We have been going for several years, but I am tired of trying to discuss itemized costs for all my kids and these 2 women are sadly the face of their business. They will even whisper in front of you...about you. Just totally unprofessional and there are way too many other pediatric dentists to choose from! read more

We just had a really disappointing experience with this office. It is unfortunate as we were excited by the positive reviews and initial interactions. However, we are now at the point of having to start over and look for other options as they refuse to complete the work recommended for my daughter. She went in recently and needs a cavity filling, filling repair and tooth extraction. Not fun stuff, but perfectly normal for a dentist to handle. During the visit, when my 9 year old daughter found out that a needle and drill would be necessary, she had a little bit of a breakdown, started crying and would not allow the work to be done. She didn't throw a fit or react physically, she was just reacting emotionally to a scary situation at a brand new dentist. The situation was handled well in the moment with the dentist mentioning the option for sedation work to be done at a different facility. We also appreciated that we were not charged for the visit since no work was completed. We discussed the option of using general anesthesia and reached out to the recommended surgery center to find out more info. We were willing to pursue that option if necessary. However, after speaking with our daughter in discussion to ask how she would prefer to move forward, she had calmed down and decided that she would be fine to go back to the regular dentist (who she really liked) and have the work done there. Anyone with a young child probably knows that this is not an uncommon situation. She has in the past had similar circumstances with shots at the pediatrician or other hard/scary things where she initially gets scared, but then is able to process and take care of it without issue. When we called Peak Pediatric back to schedule her appointment, they informed us that they absolutely will not allow her to have the work done at their office since the GA referral was provided. We explained the situation and that our daughter is willing and able to have the dentist do the work and would prefer that, however they would not allow it and simply told us that we could bring her back for cleaning services after the other work was done at the surgery center. We are not going to unnecessarily put our child at risk under general anesthesia (who would?) when she is perfectly willing and capable of having it done by the dentist. I don't know if this is simply the office staff following a policy or if they actually checked with the dentist as we requested. Now we will have to find another dentist to start over with which is a shame as my daughter really liked Dr. Chris and was excited to continue going there moving forward. My son also needs quite a bit of work, which we will also need to go elsewhere for. read more

My family and I have been going to Peak for 4+ years and have loved it. My dentist fearing daughter is always comfortable and happy going to see the dentist and when there has been scary moments for her Dr. Dixon and his staff have been amazing in helping her through her fears and given her time and consideration. Care has been top quality and they never push for treatment unless necessary. Not only are both Dr. Dixon and the staff kind and caring, but very professional and transparent. Highly recommend!! read more

My daughter had an issue with her tooth and we needed to get her in to see someone ASAP. Dr. Chris and his team at Peak were able to get her in right away! They made her and myself feel comfortable along with coming up with the right plan that took care of her need that day. I cant thank you enough for getting us in as soon as you did. read more

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Chris for several years and we are so thankful for his honest advisement and recommendations. Dr.Chris has always been straight forward about any concerns and communicates what we need to do to proceed. His staff always follows up with us and makes sure my daughter feels comfortable and safe. My daughter did have a dental emergency and Dr.Chris immediately squeezed her in. He was amazing and very gentle as she was in a lot of pain. We LOVE Dr. Chris and his staff!! We highly recommend him. read more

Peak Pediatric Dentistry is great. Dr. Chris is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and trustworthy. He and his staff have guided us to healthy and happy smiles over the past 5+ years and my kids absolutely adore him! I couldn't recommend this practice more. read more

Took my 3 kids for regular cleaning and got a bil in the mail charging them for X-rays for all 3 of them. They already had X-rays done and are only covered once a year. When I talked to the front desk about it the woman told me I should know what my insurance covers...well, no one asked me if my kids could have X-rays, they just took them, so I never had a chance to say no!!! Now I'm stuck with an outrageous bill. Maybe my oldest child needed the X-rays, but there is no reason for a 4 year old, with no dental issues to get extra unnecessary X-rays. Looks like there's another reviewer that had the same issue!!! They are taking advantage of people and I will never be taking my business there again. read more

I was sent to Peak Pediatric by referral from a friend. The whole staff here is top notch. Danielle was able to get x-rays done on my five year old with ease, which was difficult to do in the past. Dr. Chris is easy to talk to, and honest. Which I believe is hard to find these days. If anyone is looking, I highly recommend trying Peak out. read more

Looking for the best Pediatric dentist in North county? Peak is the place. I have five kids, so I have spent a fair amount of time here. Dr. Chris and his staff are excellent. We have been coming here several years now. Through routine cleanings and checkups or the occasional dental emergency, they are the best we have been to. Speaking of emergencies, I have never had a problem getting my kiddos a quick appointment if I was worried about something. Military friendly as well. I can't recommend them enough. A+ read more

My daughter was billed for 5 additional x-ray films during her routine cleaning and x-rays. Because of this Delta PPO will not cover any of the x-rays. This is the first time I have ever received a bill for dental x-rays and get them done every year. When calling the office we were told it was because her mouth is too small so they needed additional films. Contacted billing department and they said to contact Molly the office manager... Contacted Molly and was told to contact the billing department. Contacted the billing department they said reach out to Molly again. I understand insurance companies are difficult to deal with and you want to maximize your reimbursements but not having transparency on pricing/ or letting patients know they may be charged additional fees for routine cleaning and X-rays is very frustrating. read more

I am hearing impaired. When I went in for my boys appointments the staff lowered their masks to talk to me-before I had to tell them and before they saw my hearing aids! This has never happened before!!! This says a lot about their attention to detail, awareness, respect, and level of compassion/care they provide to their patients-and the parents! There are many other things I could comment on that they excel at, however I was blown away by what I shared above! read more

Heard nothing but great things about Peak. Took my daughter here for her first visit and the staff was warm and made her feel very comfortable. Glad to have found a dentistry that I can trust. read more

Our son had a wonderful experience here. He is not a lover of dentist appointment but came home and he and my husband gave it 10 yelp stars. The dentist was attentive and took time to explain everything! read more

We just got back from my daughter's first appointment and I can't talked highly enough of about this place. My daughter is very weary of do tor's offices and this place had the BEST vibe and made her feel right at home. Seriously, the sweetest technician and doctor I've ever come across. We will be going here forever! Such a good yelp find :) read more

We were so thrilled with our experience at Peak Pediatric Dentistry. Impeccable customer service and the whole team really made my son feel welcomed. My son was greeted by name as soon as he entered the room. I loved the option to complete all of the required paperwork online prior to our visit. read more

See all

Had our first visit with Peak Pediatric today and couldn't be happier. The office is in a good location with ample parking. Great modern facility, clean. Everybody is very friendly, patient and helpful. The kids loved the waiting room and the ceiling screens entertained my 6 y.o during his cleaning. Dr. Dixon is very nice and seems very good with kids. Received some good input and would definitely recommend this office. One more thing: Chocolate flavored toothpaste!!! :)) read more

Today was our first time at this dental office and my kiddos loved their visit. The staff are so patient and great with the kids. Dr. Dixon was very friendly and welcoming. So glad we found this place. read more

We were referred to Peak Dentistry by my current dentist. I appreciated how kind and patient the staff were with my daughter and that they are methodical and cautious within their treatment plans. read more

Everyone is absolutely wonderful! My daughter is 3 and in the phase where Dr's scare her. But Dr. Chris and everyone at Peak pediatric are so caring and accommodating. She loves the dentist now and asks when we are going back. Thank you to everyone there for their compassion to kids' fears and anxieties. read more

Just went for my son's first dentist appointment. I wasn't sure what to expect, besides a lot of tears. We were in and out in 10 minutes. Everyone in the office was super nice. I wish we were staying in the area because that was the best experience I've had at a dentist/doctor's office. read more

Amazing dentist!!! I can't wait to bring my kids back. So kind and caring. The place is clean and they welcome you. I'm so glad we found you all: thank you for taking the best care of my kids. read more

My kid with dental anxiety said they want to go back to see Dr. Chris. The office was clean and the staff was great.

I took my almost 2 year old for his second-ever checkup here after moving to the area. Everyone we encountered was kind and welcoming. The office is clean and modern, and the waiting room is spacious. When it was our turn, they checked our temps with an infrared thermometer before having us go back (covid). Dr. Chris was prompt and gentle while checking my sons teeth. Being a young toddler, he wasn't thrilled about this and cried the whole time, but Dr. Chris was still able to get a good look and said the crying was normal for this age. He brushed his teeth, did an exam and a fluoride treatment and we were done! Exams at this age are pretty short, and we were in and out in less than 15 minutes. As long as we live in the area I will absolutely be bringing my son here for his checkups and cleanings. read more

All I can say is wow! We are new to the area and from the second we walked in, Melissa greeted my kids by name and we all felt very welcome. The office is gorgeous and very modern (even TVs on the ceiling which was awesome!) Dr. Chris took the time to explain everything to us and even gave us great recommendations for other places/sports/activities to try in town. A++!! So happy we are their new patients! read more

We went in yesterday and had a second opinion done for my son. He had an awful experience at another local dentist office. The staff was AMAZING. They were so gentle with my 3 year old. He didn't shed one single tear, even asked to go back! They have experience with sensory and ASD kiddos as well. They were so patient with my 100000000000 questions and answered each one as if it was the first question and was the most important question anyone had ever asked them. I will never trust any other dentist with my kids mouth. read more

Impressive!! From setting up the appointment to the actual appointment the staff is amazing. Melissa is the sweetest and most helpful. The office is very modern and clean a+. They really take their time Dr.Chris is amazing he is very easy going and detailed and great with the little ones. read more

Office staff is extremely rude. They violated HIPPA as well and we plan on going forward with filing a complaint. I wouldn't recommend going here. They don't care about their patients or the families they treat. Medical discrimination is nasty and unacceptable. read more

My boys are actually looking forward to their next cleaning in 6 months! This place is wonderful, completely ideal for kids loaded with toys, movies & iPads. The staff are all so kind and caring, and if you can believe it, they run on time too! Dr. Chris is awesome with the kids and didn't make me feel awful for having an 8 yr old with a cavity. I've been hesitant about dentists because of my childhood and experience and am grateful my kids won't share that feeling. read more

Really recommend this practice!!! Took my four year old here after our life long dentist said that the scope of work he needed was better for pediatric dentistry, and we are so pleased with the referral. Dr Chris and his staff are soooo sweet, and the level of care is excellent. I was honestly very nervous going into this because of my sons multiple cavities and the need for a crown, but the experience was great!! read more

We absolutely love Dr. Chris and his entire staff ! He is so friendly and caring to all three of my kids ! His office has been my favorite and I've tried out a few others locally! They are reasonable with what they charge and I never feel like I'm over paying. Some dental offices locally have so many kid decorations and are so flamboyant I worry that I'm paying for all the bling ! Here at Peak Pediatrics they have a cute clean waiting room equipped with useful iPads and toys for the kiddos . The staff is well organized and well managed ! Everyone has great customer service skills too. Military friendly ! read more

There is a TV on the ceiling the patient can watch with headphones on during the procedure. Our family definitely recommends Dr. Chris!! read more
