    I was absolutely dreading taking my 3yr old to the dentist. He cries every time he gets a haircut and at every doctors' appt, so I imagined a visit to the dentist was going to be the worst. To my glorious surprise, he actually liked it!!!! This was due to Dr. Kalinian and her awesome staff. My son really likes her and her very sweet dental assistant. My boy is hard to win over, so it really goes to show you how awesome Dr. Kalinian is. We've made three visits and each time he's never once cried. She's an excellent dentist...very thorough with her exams and takes time to explain everything. I'm so glad I found her!!

    Alana & Dr. Kalinian  Happy Halloween!

    When my girls first started going here they were terrified. Dr. Kalinian and the staff quickly made them feel comfortable. Dr. Kalinian showed tons of patience and it has since paid off. Her communication with the little ones is awesome. Thank you we appreciate all that you guys do.

    Love, love, LOVE Dr. Kalinian. We've been to several dentistry around town over the last couple of years and had the best experience with her.  She is wonderful with my three girls. Dr. Kalinian takes the time to explain her process with the kiddos. She is very comforting and calming that my daughter does not need nitrous oxide, although it is available. The girls dentist visit has never been so pleasant.

    My boys always have a fun time with Dr. Kalinian!!!

    My son's love coming to the dentist!!! Dr. Kalinian is so sweet. I highly recommend her. She is so gentle too.

    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 appreciate the systematic kids focused dentist experience here. We have been going here since my…read moredaughter turned 2. 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!

    My 5 year old daughter went to this location because she had a wobbly tooth due to a minor injury…read more When I went there for clarity that everything was ok the dentist Dr. Khan said both front teeth needed to be pulled. I asked dentist if teeth can reattached and she said no. I managed to convince dentist that both teeth did not need to be pulled. She pulled one and said leaving other one can cause infections. The tooth she left is now ok (this tooth tighten up and reattached itself). I am leaving bad review because instead of given other options for tooth she said only option is to pull. I don't think this was the best decision and I thought I went somewhere I can trust with my daughter dental. Dr. Khan lacks experience.

Regardless, if youre a Medi-cal recipient dont pay out of pocket you will be referred to where your practitioner is allowed to refer you to. My dentist filled out the referral paper but for some reason it was not faxing over on their end.. so i called fresno dental surgery everyday for three days and not once did i get hung up on or given attitude the lovely receptionist checked everytime to see if my referral had been sent, three days later it still had not been faxed so i asked her if i could email the referral over and she gave me the email address. Within 5 minutes she recieved the email. On Friday she called me back letting me know the insurance had given authorization for treatment and she gave me an immediate opening on monday morning!! I arrived today at 640am to have my 3yo sons 2 teeth pulled and some cavities filled. My son was weighed, vitals checked all by 750am the procedure would only take an hour he was done by 9am. I was out by 920 am. Honestly i didnt wait that long taking into consideration how many children they see and how many doctors they have available. As a child i remember having to wait 3+ hours to be seen what has happened to patience as parents? The staff was amazing so informatove and they go out of their way to help. Communication was a bliss, if they werent on the clock id love to sit down and have conversations with them all, i especially liked robert, the anesthesiologist, the first older man who discussed the information and the dentist himself. I dont remember his name but the the man who worked on my son thank you so much for your above and beyond performance. You are a sweetheart. Thank you for trying to wipe the blood off of my shirt to carrying my son into his carseat and buckling him in. Thank you for doing the most. I wouldve hugged you if you didnt have to grt back to work. This was truly the best dental experience. I am happy to know that i am my children are in safe caring and loving hands. The whole staff is so supportive and amazing. I wouldnt have asked to go be referred anywhere else. What couldve taken months only took 1 week. Thank you. I do wish there were more toys or activites for children to play with besides the one interactive touch screen on the wall.
