My kids cried during their first trip to the dentist... and now they get excited to go! We've been going to Dr Guymon and team for my kids' whole lives and we've never been disappointed. The newly expanded office and team are just as great as before. I love entering the whimsical forest and seeing the woodland creatures. We try to go early so that the kids can get game time on the ipads. Their "dentist shirt" is the one item of clothing that they never lose because they get so excited to get a 2nd token for prizes. They've saved every shirt over the years, even if they no longer fit. I love Tatum pediatric and am so happy to have them caring for my kiddos. read more

The best dentist for kids. My 3 and 5 year old love coming here. Yes, they genuinely look forward to it. We see Dr Guymon. The staff is amazing. The dentists are both professional and kind. I love how they explain anything the kids have questions about. I have one kid that is a little anxious about stuff and one that is good to go and they are just amazing with both personalities. Plus they recently moved to a new office and the space is great. Kid friendly and clean. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

My 3 year old has been to the dentist for cleanings multiple times already, but this was definitely the smoothest experience! She started off fearful and crying but they quickly got her calmed down and cooperating with the hygeinist. They were very gentle and patient, I was so happy with how easy the experience was for everyone. The office space is great as well, very cute decorations and lots of toys, my toddler was asking to go back the next day! Definitely recommend for little ones! read more

Cleaning for both kiddos and first X-ray our 4 year old. The staff is super awesome, very great with little kids. They made sure each child was comfortable and talked through all of the tools in way that they were able to understand. Our children loved it and are already excited for their next appointments. read more

Excellent pediatric dentist! My kid's first experience at the dentist and it went perfectly. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. The "tree house" was beautiful and I loved the muted colors. Not a huge fan of the iPads readily available, but they were easily redirected to the play area. Excellent service and beautiful place. Highly recommend Tatum Pediatric Dentistry!!! read more

We were in incredibly impressed with our experience at Tatum Pediatric Dentistry. The office is a beautiful, kid friendly environment, the staff was super friendly, and our 2 year old actually enjoyed his teeth cleaning (despite us being 100% certainly that he would not cooperate). Additionally, the reminders and engagement prior to the visit were helpful and professional. More businesses should operate this way. Thank you to Dr. Carney and team! Looking forward to our next appointment. read more

Great care and friendly staff to make the trip smooth for a little one. Highly recommendations

Dr Guymon is an exceptional dentist and is an exceptional human being. My seven old needed a tooth Extraction. We were told that Only way to do it will be to sedate him. Not only did he not sedate him but also the whole procedure was very smooth. Surprisingly my son told me that he was the best doctor ever. That in itself is a big compliment. Thanks doc. Office staff was also great and followed up promptly. read more

We love bringing our son here for dental care. The dentist is great with the kids and answers any questions you have thoroughly. The office is nice and very kid friendly. The hygienist isn't as warm as I would expect someone working with children to be however, she gets the job done. read more

Kind and professional staff. They made my one-year old feel at ease! I was impressed with their facility, and the wait time was super short.

The office is clean, high-tech, and organized. The staff is fast, efficient, kind and great with kids! The dr is super nice and also wonderful with kids. I love the office and the the kids love the little gifts they get on the way out:) highly recommended! read more

I took my son here for his regular cleaning and he really liked this dentist office. Dr. Guymon was great, he even told me something about my sons teeth that no other dentist had ever told me which was so informative. He has a great attention to detail which is what you want when caring for your kids' teeth. I would highly recommend this pediatric dentist office. read more

My 3 year old daughter has been asking to go to the dentist for months. I was a little hesitant because I've had awful experiences with dentists in my life. But, I finally caved in and made an appointment at Tatum Pediatric Dentistry. Best decision ever. The appointment went AMAZING! I couldn't be more thankful for their staff for being so caring/gentle/thorough for my daughters first experience at the dentist. The hygienist took her time and was so sweet and wonderful with her. She explained what everything was and what she was going to do before cleaning her teeth. My 3 year old sat perfectly still and just had a wonderful experience. I cannot rave enough about this place. If you're considering your child's first dentist appointment, please consider this place. read more

My kids always get such fantastic care when we are here! The front desk is so welcoming, accommodating and efficient when we first walk in! Dr Guymon is great at explaining the treatment plans and options. So friendly. My kids love his office and the iPads in the lobby (although there is never any wait time). The office is crisp and clean. Would recommend Tatum Pediatric Dentistry to everyone wanting great dentistry for their children! read more

I can't say enough good things about this practice! Dr Guymon took us on as a second opinion and was so much more conservative with procedures that he saved us from getting crowns as well as fillings preemptively before my 5 year old probably needed them. He was able to fill what our previous dentist said they wouldn't. He is kind, patient, and relatable with patients. And the hygienists and other staff are quick and so personable. So happy we switched to them! read more

My 3 kiddos LOVE coming to Tatum Pediatric Dentistry!!! They make sure we get here early so they can hang out in the cool waiting room complete w iPads. We are always greeted by friendly people and seem promptly. Dr. Guymon is amazing! Honest, very knowledgeable and conservative in his recommendations. read more

Had a pleasant experience. The front desk was helpful and kind. The environment is suited well for kiddos and clean. The dentist was kind and was helpful with my questions. My daughter was so excited to get her new toothbrush and loves it. read more

Wowwwww - what an awesome dental office for kids!!! I booked my daughter's first dentist appointment here because of the amazing reviews and when we opened the door, my daughter smiled and laughed because she thought it was a playground! The decor with the wood floors and little play area with grass, books and toys is every baby/toddler's wonderland. All my daughter wanted to do was play and crawl but we were called back to one of the dental chair rooms to answer a few questions. All the employees were so sweet and the assistant noticed that all my daughter wanted to do was play so she brought in a few toys and books for her to play with in the dental chair room. Of course, the little one cried when the dentist came to check her teeth, but even the dentist was super patient and sweet. My daughter started crying because she wanted him to pick her up and he picked her up and held her. I didn't feel rushed and he wanted to make sure all my questions were answered. It was a great first dentist experience. When we checked out, they give your child a small toy to go home with. What kid would be scared of going to the dentist after this?! Man, I remember I hated going to the dentist when I was little. I would run away from home just because I was so scared. I'm pretty sure my daughter wouldn't ever be scared and run away like I did because this dental office is freakin awesome!!! read more

Everyone at this practice is very patient and great with kids. There's such a calming atmosphere here and my child is very comfortable there. Dr. Guymon is my favorite kids dentist! read more

I cannot put into words my gratitude for Dr. Guymon and his team. My toddler fell and broke his tooth on a Sunday afternoon. I'm talking half the tooth missing and the other half hanging out. I called him and he met me within the hour to assess and extract the tooth. He explained everything he was doing and made the procedure as comfortable as possible for my son and the parents. This doctor is a true gem. My son was laughing and smiling a minute after his tooth was pulled. I'm so grateful my kids are in his hands. Thank you Dr. Guymon!!! read more

Tatum Pediatric Dentistry is an amazing pediatric dental practice! Dr. Guymon and all the staff there are friendly, professional, kind and very calm which is important for nervous little people! My daughter was apprehensive about the whole experience as she needed quite a bit of work done. Dr. Guymon came up with a plan and explained the whole procedure thoroughly and before we knew it she was done with everything and she was super happy with the outcome! My daughter asked me at the height of her nervousness how I could be sure no one would make a mistake .... I explained that they had an awesome 5 star review on Yelp and I had heard great things so that was a very good sign she was in capable, caring hands. When she started waking up from the anesthesia one of the first things she said was "is my tooth gone!?" ... I said "yes!" ... she replied "wow! I didn't feel a thing! I want to give them 5 stars!!" ... then she added "wait why can I only give them 5 stars? ... I want to give them 10 stars!!" So technically this is a 10 star review!!! My daughter also said "I like this dentist a lot I want to keep him as my dentist!" Also we can't forget to give Dr. Stoker the anesthesiologist 10 stars too as my daughter thought he was amazing as well. First time she had ever had her doctor carry her to her car. Amazing service! lol read more

So far we are loving it here. Great staff, everyone is super friendly and helpful. They have a very cute little play area for the kids in the reception area as well as iPads. The office is nice and clean. The first visit we had my daughter definitely didn't want to be there (but that is to be expected) but Dr. Guymon was still able to clean her teeth through the crying. We have been back since and no crying, she did great! The previous dentist we had didn't even check her teeth because she was crying just said ok looks good see you in 6 months.... Not ok! So, I'm happy we made the switch. read more

Dr Guymon and his staff are excellent to put the kids at ease and make them comfortable before any dental procedure and in educating about dental hygiene. read more

Super friendly staff and doctors. My kids live the waiting area, it keeps them distracted.

Great staff. Always so nice to our 3 kids (3, 5 and 7). Couldn't ask for more for our kids dental care. Highly recommended! read more

WORST customer service EVER. I brought my foster children in to be seen for exams - having given the office their insurance information at 9am and again via ppw by 10:30am. We showed up for our scheduled appt at 4:30pm. The STAFF didn't verify benefits until AFTER I arrived for their appointments. They said our newest placement's benefits were apparently not activated yet and they wouldn't see her - though coverage is listed ON THE FORM I GAVE THEM! The front office woman didn't do her job until after we arrived and we were SENT AWAY because SHE CALLED THE WRONG AGENCY TO VERIFY INSURANCE COVERAGE! Foster children are insured by through a specialized program called CMDP... these people were calling AHCCCS. I kept telling them that insurance coverage isn't through AHCCCS. This could have been avoided if the woman chose to do her job and verify benefits before we arrived - we could have gone through all of this and I could have had the agency call them before our arrival. The FORM i gave them AT THE OFFICE had the verification phone number right on it but she refused to call THAT number. I kept telling them that they were calling the wrong agency and that the form says that if they are in contract with said agency (which they were) they MUST accept the form as proof of coverage. They didn't. They refused to listen to me, acted as though I had no idea what I was talking about... They said I had the option of paying out of pocket which was completely unacceptable... And then we were asked to leave. The woman was incompetent and RUDE! DO NOT GO HERE! You will receive better treatment and service somewhere else. DO NOT GO HERE - I can't stress that enough. The office staff can make or break the practice - and this woman is reason enough to AVOID it and seek treatment elsewhere. I have no idea whether or not the dentist is good because I couldn't get past the HORRIFIC office staff. I know for a FACT the insurance agency called them the next day to talk about what took place with us. She had to "re-educate" them on policy which included HOW TO VERIFY COVERAGE. I am beside myself on how rude these people were, and they have yet to call and apologize for how they treated us and for sending us away. The woman who was "verifying" benefits should be FIRED! If for nothing more than refusing to call the number to verify benefits that was listed on the form - just like you would call the number on the back of an insurance card to verify benefits. I used to do that job and I can't believe how someone could be so unable to do what they were hired to do. Literally, it was ON THE FORM I GAVE HER and she still couldn't figure it out. Not to mention, it SHOULD have been done BEFORE we arrived for our appointment. And then to have realized you were wrong but NOT MAKE IT RIGHT is inexcusable. I was going to drop it but they replied to me on google trying to make it look like my child didn't have the coverage THEY KNEW she had, especially after talking with the CMDP representative. LOW! Show some class! read more

We love Dr Guymon and his staff. He's friendly and remembers us like if we're in there often. He takes the time to care, we're not just a number. My kids have had fillings and all, BUT they get excited going into the office. They think it's "cool" in there. Not to mention I love the decor in the office, ADORABLE!! Thank you Dr Guymon and Tatum Pediatric Dentistry for being friendly and welcoming and for genuinely caring. If only all healthcare treated their patients like this! Ya'll are pretty sweet! read more

Would highly recommend. read more

Amazing first time experience with our 14 month old son. The lady at the front desk was super welcoming & kind. We arrived 20 minutes early to our appointment we had to wait about 5 minutes to go in. The dental assistant was very friendly pointed out all the rooms they had by this time my son was already crying he was scared. We get to the room and my son doesn't stop crying the dental assistant I wished u removed her name. She kept her cool and tried to make my son comfortable and gave him a tooth brush and kept giving him stuff to stop the crying it didn't work. But she did her best and was so patient and informed us the procedure asked if we had questions. Then the dentist came did the procedure gave us options on how to hold baby so he would be comfortable informed us everything he was doing. Overall we are so happy we found them we will be coming back. We felt welcomed and they actually care for kids and have patience which is a huge plus! read more

This review is long overdue! Dr. Guymon is a gem! He has such a calm and friendly demeanor and is patient. My four children absolutely adore the staff. We tried several pediatric dentists and we were so blessed to find Tatum Pediatric Dentistry! read more

My daughter is 2 and a 1/2 and came in for her very 1st ever dental exam. The staff was warm and friendly, my daughter felt at ease as she played and read books. They gave us a tour of the facility and made her feel like such a big girl...even got a toothbrush and a toy at the end (which she was very excited about). She had an amazing experience and even asked to go back after we had already left. Great experience, I'd highly reccomend! read more

Yesterday was our first visit to Tatum pediatric. It was my daughters first dental appointment. Dr. Guymon and his staff were fantastic with her. The office is very welcoming and friendly. Dr. Guymon and his staff interacted with the both of us to make us feel more comfortable. He and his staff are very caring. Everything from making an appointment to checking out was seamless. When you enter the office the kids have a tree house area with books. Their are some mounted ipads on the wall with seats for the kids. They contain plenty of applications / games to entertain the kids. My daughter loved it and it was hard to get her to leave! At the conclusion of the visit the child is given a token which they redeem for a prize. Our visit ran very efficiently from check in to check out. We feel very fortunate to have found Tatum pediatric dentistry and have already recommended our friends! We highly recommend this practice! read more

Tatum Pediatric Dentistry - Business card - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Dr. Guymon and his entire staff was absolutely the most professional, kind and passionate about making us feel comfortable while my daughter had to have her surgical procedure. We had an appointment scheduled later in the month and we were able to get in much earlier. Thank goodness for his caring and attentive staff. I felt comfortable as we had never been and I would most definitely continue to take my daughter for the best Dental Care. My daughter had a good experience and did not feel anxious about her treatment. Dr. Guymon is an expert in his craft and highly trained in his specialty. We are pleased and thankful for a great experience. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the city. We felt relaxed and the atmosphere was so Kid Friendly. We felt Blessed. read more

This office is the best! First of all, they let me book both my kids' appointments at the same time (ages 5 and almost 2) which is SO convenient. My son was a little nervous, but his little nerves were assuaged as soon as we walked into the sweet and friendly front office. Both my kids went running for the giant playhouse and then to the iPad station nearby. The whole office is immaculate and so cute. Since it was our first visit, we were given a tour of the office before their checkups. Once my son laid on the exam bed, they turned a movie on for him on the ceiling to watch during his cleaning. He loved it! Dr. Guymon came in afterwards and explained that my son would need some work done (I knew that coming into the office) and made sure I understood each procedure and gave me options for my son's care. His approach is very much about working together towards a solution, which I love. My almost 2 year old daughter also got a cleaning, which I was dreading. She's a runner and a feisty redhead, but she actually did great! Dr. Guymon was quick and taught me the best to brush her teeth, which we are starting right away. I just love this office and the staff are also super friendly and caring. I looked around a long time to find a good children's dentist, and I'm so glad I did. This place is great! read more

We were sad to leave our former dentist in Tempe after moving, but wow, Tatum Pediatric Dentistry blew us away. The office was amazing, the staff incredible, and we loved the dentist. I have a special needs son and even he allowed the staff to do a cleaning and the dentist to check him out. I'm very excited we found this practice and look forward to going back. My kids left the office SKIPPING, yes, skipping. Seriously. Thanks, guys! read more

I recently took my 3 year old to Tatum Pediatric Dentistry for a checkup and cleaning. He had never really enjoyed going to the dentist, but the hygienist Sarah really took the time to make him feel comfortable and was extremely sweet. He got through cleaning, flossing, and everything with only a minimum of hesitancy on his part. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great pediatric dentist for their kids! read more

Amazing doctor he's so patient and so kind and amazing staff all around! The office is so adorable and the kids look forward to going every six months! I wish I found him sooner. read more

First, my son loves everything about this place. That includes the playhouse, the iPads, and probably most importantly Dr Jim himself. There are very few things in life better than not having to fight your 3 year old to get him to go to the dentist! And from the parents' perspective this place is great. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the decoration of the lobby is honestly impressive even for us parents, and I can't say enough about Dr Guymon. He's not only very good at what he does, but he's excellent at communicating everything to both me and my son, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and cares about the kids. I've referred 3-4 friends there and every one of them has had nothing but great things to say, a couple of them have even recently moved to other parts of town yet still come to Tatum Pediatric, they're just that good! read more
