We have been going here for years but unfortunately have to find a new dentist due to the dental assistant Heather at this office. I'll follow up with details of our issue if not reached out to by Sun Valley. I left voicemails and sent multiple emails to the office manager who gave me her information after the incident and never received a reply. Heather was incredibly rude, and very loud about her complaints to the point that the Doctor had to step in and confirm that we were doing the right thing. Every doctor we have seen over the last 4 years has been great, but due to Heather and the lack of support we won't be returning unless it's resolved. read more

Amazing care! Dr. Seare and his assistant Arlene made our experience wonderful. Our toddler had experienced a trauma on her tooth from a fall & they made the experience calm, easy and reassuring. Even our toddler had a good time! read more

Dr Seare is the best. My kids teeth have never been this white and healthy. Especially my second oldest, He's been going to Dr Seare his whole life and has never had a cavity and has the most beautiful smile ever. The office is also very welcoming and great for kids. All round great place and I highly recommend. read more

Our favorite dentist. The doctor and his team are so kind and informative. I have an active toddler and they are always nice and supportive. There are tvs on the ceiling to help distract the little patients, toy rewards, and fish to watch while you wait Its hard to get my little one out of the office! read more

The staff at Sun Valley are super patient and kind, especially to my son who has special needs. My son actually enjoys going there, which is huge for him. I would highly recommend them! Definitely 5+ stars. If you have a child with special needs, this is the perfect place. read more

My first experience at this office last year was great and that's why I left 2 stars vs 1. The dentist we saw then was kind, great with my daughter, and we discussed SDF for a potential cavity. But this year was a different story and so I wanted to write a review to encourage parents to seek a second opinion if they are uncomfortable with the amount of work a dentist is suggesting. Long story short, I brought my 3yo in for her cleaning/checkup a couple months ago and was seen by a different dentist. They took x-rays, but he only glanced at them before going through her mouth counting out loud to a total of 6 cavities. He then recommended extensive work that would involve her potentially being put under and shots in her mouth. When asked what could have possibly caused so many cavities that needed such extensive work despite us brushing her teeth twice a day and her not having any bad habits, he didn't have any answers for me. The only "advice" he could give me was to not tell her about the shots ahead of time - which honestly pissed me off because my daughter has a right to know what will be done to her body. He skipped past any possible conservative treatment and jumped straight to putting my 30lb 3yo under anesthesia. The estimate for the work was over $1000 with us paying about $600 after insurance. I left feeling lost and terrible that my daughter was going to have to go through that at such a young age. But then the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it made me. And then I read online the only real way to tell if a cavity is a cavity was by x-ray. But that's not how he found hers. So today I got a second opinion. And based on the same x-rays, I was told she had 4 "tiny spots" between 2 sets of teeth probably caused by a lack of regular flossing. He noted that none were not big enough for a filling. She needs a 5 minute application of SDF. No anesthesia, no lidocaine, no sending her into a procedure room without me at only 3yo. read more

One word "A-mazing!" The staff at little tykes is phenomenal! Dr. Carmichael and his staff will go out of their way to make sure you concerns are addressed. They are very accommodating and professional. My 4 year old loves going. Thank you all! read more

Great with my child. It was her first time at the dentist and they made her laugh and smile. I would recommend this to anyone. Best experience ever. read more

I went here because they had a good groupon and my kid's regular dentist is a fortune. (Sidenote, I picked previous dentist based on all the good yelp reviews, only to find out he gives out movie passes in exchange for good reviews!) Anyway, it was $25 for a cleaning, exam, and xrays. They were fast, kind, and thorough, and loaded my kid up on all the fun freebies like water bottles and toothbrushes. Ps. The dentist was hot as balls. Like seriously the most beautiful man I've ever seen. Kids AND moms will be happy!!!! read more

Sun Valley Pediatric Dentistry has made trips to the dentist painless and quick for my girls. We are in and out in no time at all, and receive great service from the hygienists and the dentist himself. Everyone is friendly and thorough - we are very pleased! read more

Bad experience. Saw this dentist for the first time 6 months ago for check up, full xrays, and cleaning for our children. During the exam, where the dentist found no issues, he referred our 7 year old to an orthodontist who consults in the Little Tykes office, and made us an appointment to see the orthodontist the next morning. At the orthodontist consult (held in this dental office) we were told our 7 year old needed a tooth extracted. We went to the front desk to schedule the extraction. We told the scheduler that we wanted sedation for the extraction (an advertised procedure of this office) because the orthodontist pointed out that the tooth is firmly in jaw (not even wiggly yet). [The orthodontist told us that sedation was definitely what he recommended (if we could afford it).] The scheduler (who was very friendly) said that they do sedation all the time, and should be no problem at all, especially since the orthodontist was recommending it and we were willing to pay out of pocket for the procedure. She booked our appointment went to get the dentist to go over sedation procedures with me. She came back less than a minute later saying the dentist wants to do the procedure with no anesthesia. The dentist made this determination without seeing the orthodontist's recommendation, looking at the consult sheet, or reviewing my child's chart, and without checking to see how firmly her tooth was rooted in her jaw. He made the decision that he would pull with no anesthesia without discussing treatment options with me. Because of this we changed pediatric dentists. But the worst part comes now -- at our new dentist appointment today (6 months later), x-rays for our other child -- our 11-year old -- show that the Little Tykes Dentist MISSED an IMPACTED ADULT TOOTH on his xray !! Had it been properly diagnosed his treatment options would be been far better. Now, because his adult tooth has been growing in the wrong direction for so long, our 11-year old is facing jaw surgery and braces for otherwise perfectly straight teeth. Very painful for him, and extremely expensive for us. read more

Amazing is all I have to say! Everyone from the staff to the Dr. ,were super friendly and made my daughters feel so comfortable! The doctor cleaned my 4 yr old daughter's teeth since she was scared and he did a great job keeping her occupied. Both my daughters walked out happy. Highly recommend! Thanks again! read more

staff is very friendly, doctor will tell you straight up, no sugar coating for any extra services. my child truly love this place.

I always go back with my kids and am welcome to do so. The staff is always kinds and remembers all details about my life and well as my children. The doctor and hygienist have been so good to my girls and I recommend friends and family to go there. Thank you Little TYkes! read more

honestly, i didn't know what to expect when my son and i showed up for his first appointment at this office... i have had both good and bad experiences in the past in all medical-type environments, as my son is autistic, and i never know just how far i can push him on a daily basis. the first thing i noticed was how warmly we were greeted. the nice blonde-ish gal at the front desk met eyes with me and smiled the moment i opened the door. somebody give her a raise! there was a movie playing in the lobby, which was awesome because as soon as my son realized we were in a "doctor office", he wanted to leave immediately. having the movie on settled his nerves and he chilled out in his chair until i finished the paperwork and we got called back. still uncertain and a little wary of how my son would react, the dental assistant asked me first and foremost if we were doing okay.. if we needed anything.. i explained our situation and she responded with sincere compassion, kindness, and understanding. my son let her look in his mouth and even clean his teeth. the best part? when they lean the chairs back, the same movie from the lobby is playing on the tv on the CEILING. this is above and beyond.. not to mention genius. another thing i will say about this office.. they have the one dentist and i swear i couldn't have chosen someone who treated my son with so much dignity and respect. of course he was in tears but i could tell that this man really cares about his patients. he took his time with my son, was patient with him, explained to me (the worrying mommy) what i needed to know, gave me adequate time to ask questions.. did not rush me out the door. overall i felt that my son and i were well taken care of.. i have never felt so comfortable being at the dentist, especially with my son. 5 stars across the board. read more

Absolutely amazing! I've been taking my kids here for 3 years now and I have never once had a bad experience. Everyone is so nice from the reception to the nurse and the doctor! All of my concerns are always addressed if I have any. When my kids needed extractions they took the best care of my babies! I drive 30 minutes just to come see them and I will not and do not plan on going anywhere else! Just had another child and she will be going to see them as soon as she is old enough! Thanks to all the staff and sun valley you guys are amazing! read more

From the staff to the techs to the doctor himself this entire office is wonderful. Appointments are on time, thorough, and done with gentle positive disposition. My children have been coming here since the beginning and even see Judd orthodontics through this office. Wouldn't dream of using another dentist or Ortho. read more

Really loved the Dr. but the hygenist we saw (both times with my older daughter-age 6) highly encouraged me to "wait in the waiting room" while she took her away for procedures because "kids do better when parents aren't around". I wouldn't allow it- but think some parents may not know that they can and should ask to be present during medical exams/procedures involving their children. The hygenist's here need a little training on "family centered care" and need to put their own conveniences to the side and not act as if parents are in the way. Cute, kid friendly environment- but the staff needs to match the decor. read more

Awesome experience at this location, I took both my boys here (ages 6 + 4yrs) and they loved the experience. Both dental assistants that worked with my kids were awesome. My boys are not always the best listeners if you have kids this age you know what I mean. But they made the experience great!! Thanks to the team at this office my boys will be excited for their next appointment. read more

The doctor and nurse was so sweet and gentle with my girls. My 3 year old was very nervous and really didn't want to open her mouth. But Dr Seare was so kind and patient with her. When I dropped her off at the sitter, she couldn't wait to show off her pretty sparkley teeth! read more
