The Kids Dentist is such a cool place. We were recommended by our previous dentist who wasn't equipped to practice on children after my daughter became of age to begin seeing a dentist. Upon first walking in, we were immediately impressed with the lobby space, and the polite staff behind the desk. Their whole set up is so kid friendly. There is so much to do and see in the waiting room & back in the halls and exam rooms that the kiddos are excited from the get go. There's even a therapy dog that comes in sometimes! Definitely made for kids to enjoy and feel comfortable and safe. The dental assistants/hygienists are obviously very experienced and great with the kids. They continue to make my daughter's entire dental experience a delight at every appointment. After expressing our concerns regarding my daughter's oral health at one of our appointments, Dr Elizabeth came up with a care plan tailored for her and sat me down in a private office to discuss. I think more doctors should do that, instead of speaking about the kids' teeth in front of them and creating anxiety. This was the best way to discuss oral care with parents without interruptions, in my opinion, and I appreciated it. Based on our experience here, I highly recommend The Kids Dentist to all area parents with little kids. read more

I have had several negative experiences at the Kid's Dentist over the last four years. My initial appointment was with my 10 month old daughter after she fell and chipped her tooth. They told me I should pay better attention to her to stop her from falling and causing potential damage (hello, have you met babies/toddlers?) The experience was very shame-y. They showed me how to brush her teeth on a doll as if I was not capable of understanding and not already doing so. They tried to separate us which I did not appreciate as she as so young at the time and this was her very first dentist experience. The entire appointment annoyed me and made me feel as though I was spoken down to. This was in 2022. In 2024, my daughter had a rare dental emergency. Some of her teeth did not properly develop in utero leading to dental abscess. She was hospitalized at Children's for 2 nights and I needed to be seen by a dentist quickly to plan further treatment. I reached out to every pediatric dentist in the area and hesitantly went back to the Kid's Dentist after the owner, Dr. Fischer, (now former, as he retired within the few months of me speaking to him) assured me that they were specialized and able to handle this case. I was seen by a dentist (Dr. Goodell - also no longer there) promptly and felt good moving forward. Our daughter had an extraction surgery and I scheduled a follow up appointment at The Kid's Dentist. Sitting at that follow up appointment, we saw a NEW dentist. Apparently, in that brief month, Dr. Goodell had left and Dr. Fischer had handed over the keys to the practice upon retiring. The dentist we saw was not familiar with the case and did not understand our desire to have a follow up appointment. I wrote the practice an email expressing my concern that Dr. Lizzy (our new provider unbeknownst to me) did not seem to have an understanding of our case nor a plan to move forward. She called me, apologized for her lack of preparedness, and assured me that she could handle it moving forward. I have since learned she is now moving - not from the Kid's Dentist office itself, but through the grapevine. This morning, my appointment for my other two children that was supposed to take place in less than 2 weeks was cancelled with no explanation other than the office would be closed that morning. There was no apology, I was just told to reschedule ASAP. Upon attempting to reschedule "ASAP" it did not seem that they had many times available nor a creative solution to help us get seen within our every 6 month time frame. Enough is enough. I rarely write reviews, let alone bad ones, but my entire time with the Kid's Dentist Mequon has been a headache. They're unprofessional, uncommunicative, and unprepared. I know they have received a plethora of good reviews in the past, but my understanding is that things have gone downhill since Dr. Fischer's retirement and I am not longer interested in having my children be along for the ride. read more

Wow what a wonderful experience at The Kids Dentist! Let's be honest, no one looks forward to going to the dentist, let alone taking their young kiddo, so if I'm honest I wasn't too excited leading up to it. Lo and behold, my two year old did great! I attribute so much of that to the wonderful set up here, and the delightful staff. It's kid-focused from beginning to end. The waiting area is not only colorful but has a television playing cartoons, along with an active train moving around the upper wall and down the halls. My son was inthralled with it! The woman checking us in was so sweet, made sure our paperwork and info was up to date, and snapped a picture of my son for his file since it was his first visit. We didn't wait more than 5 minutes before we were greeted to go back. Dr. Goodell was so kind and thorough! Being a new-patient appointment, we first went into her office to chat through everything - I found this so informative. From tips on toothbrushing and flossing, to product recommendations, and explanations on overall oral health, it was really great to have a full insight of how to best care for my kiddos teeth. We got a nice little tour of the rest of the place on our way to the dentist room. Dr. Goodell so kindly walked Brooklyn through all of the little tools she would be using when looking inside his mouth, and overall did a great job at making him feel really calm & comfortable. Cleverly, they have TVs on the ceiling so my son was happily distracted while his mouth and teeth were being examined. We left with a take home folder full of lots of great info, a new toothbrush, and an overall happy kid. We will certainly be planning our return visit. read more

The Kids Dentist - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Mequon, Wisconsin

This office has an AWFUL patient identification/verification policy. My child was checked in and waiting for a cleaning. The dental hygienist called my child's name and she was sent back to the patient room. 5-10 minutes later they came out and asked for her again. I told them she was already back there. We then realized there were 2 children in the office with the same name and they took the wrong child for the wrong procedure. My child was going there for a cleaning, due to this major mistake she selected her flavor of nitrous and had a nose piece applied. What if she was allergic or they pulled a tooth or started filling a cavity that wasn't there! I was told there was a "misunderstanding" but all was sorted out. When we got in the car, my 9 year old filled me in on what really happened. I was appalled that these details had to come from my child! I filled out a survey that I received and checked the box saying I would like to be contacted regarding the situation. It has been over a week and no one has contacted me. Please...please...please...be careful with this place-very scary and dangerous! read more

WARNING! We have given this place a couple of tries but are changing to another practice. This office does not want the parents to be with their child. They have been rude multiple times when we, as the parents, wanted to go back with our child. Today, the lady who came out to get our son told us we could not go with and had to stay in the waiting room. When we insisted on going back with our son, she laughed in our faces. I understand encouraging a child's independence, BUT why is this place so set on being alone with my 7-year-old? It is creepy and absolutely a red flag. read more

I truly cannot say enough good about Dr. Dentino (Dr. Casey) and his team. First, I will say I lean heavily towards the holistic side of health care - including dental care. I came in with my 5 yo son for his kindergarten exam and was so nervous that my questions and our oral care routine would be met with eye rolls and resistance. Ex - we were using hydroxyapetite toothpaste vs fluoride toothpaste. But, instead, Dr. Dentino listened and answered my thousands of questions with respect and care. Turns out my son had a cavity and some decay near that cavity. I was truly distraught - I felt like we were doing everything right with his hygiene and diet, etc. It felt, very much, like this was my fault because I had not been using fluoride toothpaste. Dr. Dentino assured me that there are many reasons why cavities form, this was not my fault and he never once insinuated that my skepticism of fluoride was to blame. He really took his time explaining our restoration choices and he gave me time to discuss with my husband before choosing our plan of action. His team answered my follow up questions quickly and thoroughly and gave me the information I needed to make a decision that our whole family was at peace with. I'll add that my son is also an anxious kiddo and has historically been significantly anxious in any medical setting (including the dentist). I was amazed to witness him go through his exam and cleaning (even xrays!) without me and without even asking for me. I am certain this is because the team was super patient and answered his thousands of questions (like mother like son). I was in almost in tears after his restorative work was complete. I mean, the fact that my kid who won't let a nurse put a blood pressure cuff on, allowed a nitrous nose piece to be on his face for 45 min+, didn't flinch at a numbing shot, kept his mouth open easy peasy and wasn't bothered by the sound of a drill in his mouth...I just couldn't believe it. We don't even live in Wisconsin anymore, but I will gladly make the drive up every 6 months. I am so grateful that we were referred to Dr. Dentino and so grateful that he and his team were there to help us navigate this blip on our oral health journey. read more

Saw the parent commenting on being upset that they couldn't go into the cleaning with their child and wanted to offer another perspective. We have a 1.5 yr old and they did let us go back to the cleaning with them. For our 4 yr old, she goes to the cleaning on her own. This was her third time coming back to this office (and one time was for cavities - we changed to this dentist because we had a poor experience at my lifelong dentist office). Our 4 yr old was actually excited to go to her appointment this week to show her 'clean' teeth and to pick out her prize after the appointment. Only giving Im not giving 5 stars is because the first time my partner took them to this dentist, I mistakenly thought I had our youngest on dental insurance and didn't, but they still went through with the appt. Any mom would have said to just hold off and I wish they would have given this advice to my partner, but instead he paid on his own. Also acknowledge this is partly my fault though because they called to talk to me about this and I missed it while at work. read more

I love this dentist! They are amazing with kids and with parents for that matter. The environment is warm and friendly and they do an outstanding job with helping children to feel calm and safe in the dental chair. Highly recommended. read more

Absolutely amazing place! I took my son Luka for his first trip to the dentist and I don't think he could have had a better experience. He had fun playing in the waiting area, watching the train, and looking at the fish. Everyone made him feel very comfortable. I learned how to brush his teeth effectively, and Luka had his first cleaning and exam. All went well. So glad that we picked The Kids Dentist for my son. He said he didn't want to leave!! Hopefully his next visit is just as great. Huge thank you to Dr. Fisher and everyone on his team! read more

I would give this place 10stars if I could!!!!!! I took my son here to get his teeth fixed,ran into some insurance issues but we're able to get the exam done. We were referred to somewhere else by the insurance company that way we were covered 100%. Dr.Fisher called daily to check on my son to make sure that he was getting taken care of by the place that the insurance company were sending us to . I was disppointed that my insurance didn't kept us there with The Kids dental. Dr.Fisher and his team of staff are Phenomenal !the staff were nice and friendly. They are GREAT with children.From the moment you walked in . The place is super clean ,friendly,children atmosphere..... I highly recommend this place to everyone! I was shocked to see my son left my side to go with Brandi to get his teeth brushed and exam alone. .I have 4 children and this will/would be my #1 place. read more

Yes the office staff is friendly, yes the environment is very playful and kid oriented. But my 7 year old daughter was traumatized by the experience of her procedure, she was held down, and after a year still cries and asks me why I ever brought her there. I will never bring her there again. I watched her procedure through one-way glass and could hardly stand it. As a parent, it's one of those experiences I regret 100% and wish I had a do-over. I feel so awful about the whole experience. read more

Dr. Fisher was such a comfort and skilled practitioner in the face of a dental emergency today. We are so grateful for the emotional and dental treatment our daughter received at this office and feel confident that we'll be well cared for in the years to come on a personal and professional level. read more

An awesome place! Such a fun environment and the kids even get to watch a show of their choice on a ceiling TV! Dr. Fisher is great. Every time we drive by the office, my 3 year old asks if he can go to the dentist today! read more

I feel I was discriminated against for having state insurance and treated very poorly because of it! I have very good dental insurance that I pay out of pocket for thru my job. My Job doesn't however provide affordable family health insurance, so my kids are on badger care. I was rudely told they would not accept my children as patients because they have state insurance! They completely disregarded the fact that state insurance was for their health care not dental. No one takes badger care for dental, that's why I pay for additional dental coverage! It should not matter what I have for health insurance if I have separate dental insurance. When I take my children to the doctor they don't ask for a dental card! My daughter had a bad experience at a family dental office so I was looking for a pediatric office. This dentist was highly recommended so I was shocked to be treated this way! I was talked down to and treated like complete trash! I wish I could give negative stars! Steer clear from this office unless your rich that's the only patients this practice is accepting! read more

Fantastic pediatric dentist in north shore area - loved Dr. Fisher and staff... very welcoming and understanding! Beautiful office... my son never wanted to leave (the dentist)! read more

I feel so lucky that Dr. Fisher decided to open an office in Mequon!!! He is just outstanding. Excellent with children, clearly knows his profession (he is coming from Children's Hospital) and is able to tell me things about my daughter's teeth that I have not learned prior to this. He spent many years treating Guatemalan children in Guatemala, which is great for us considering my daughter is from that part of the world! The office is like a wonderland for kids and the staff is fantastic. My daughter looks forward to going to see Dr. Fisher and everyone there - even when she has to get a filling!! read more
