    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.

    Our 3 kids have seen Dr. Kalinian since their first checkups as babies. We always are treated well and she makes our kids feel comfortable.

    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!

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!

I was confused because from the last recent dentist appointment we had with all my boys's primary dentist they were all cavities free. All my 5 boys don't eat a lot of sweets. He had no decay, marks, or signs of cavities. He had no complaints of his teeth to show that he was in need of filling or crowns. He also had baby teeth only. His dentist only told us that he is referred to get his extra teeth taken out. We were referred to a different place but they no longer doing surgery so this was the second place they referred us to. In the second appointment we had with Fresno Dental Surgery Center, I met with the surgeon and he said he had cavities showing me the x-ray that the black areas are cavities and that he has about 6 of them. They were saying things like "if you don't take it out it can lead to problems later" and "you might need to come back again to get them fill." Like all the reviews here, we got scared and didn't want to take the chance to come back because we waited for 3-4 hours and your child can't eat within 24 hrs. We decided to let them put silver crowns on my son with the surgery he needed. I still feel guilty and it is the worst feeling ever to let your babies go through all those pain when they don't need it. He could have just got the extra teeth taken out only but with all the scare tactics and us not reading these reviews first, we made the wrong decision to put him through so much pain. So please evaluate your child's dental status before making any decisions. It's our first experience to do dental surgery on one of our child and I will not be taking my boys here in the future.
