    Absolutely as good as it gets!…read more I was in need of dentist for my 2 year old. I had heard enough dental horror stories to know I wanted a pediatric dentist. When I first moved here I heard some parents say Auburn Pediatric Dentistry was a good place to go, so given it's the only pediatric dental facility nearby I decided to give it a shot. I spoke with Jenny on the phone, who was extremely professional, yet friendly (the best combination in customer-oriented field). She was detail-oriented and smart enough to verify that our scheduled time was not during nap time (a brilliant question to ask!). She gave good advice as to what to tell my daughter about the upcoming visit and when I had questions to ask I didn't feel like I was being hurried off the phone (invaluable!). Jenny emailed me the forms to fill out ahead of time and then I also got a reminder call a week in advance. I believe our appointment was about two weeks from the time we called, so that seemed like a reasonable time to wait for an opening. When I first heard the dentist's hours I thought "well that's typical!" Meaning dentists always seem to have a truncated work week. However, in the next sentence, it was explained that the days that Dr. Derrow wasn't in the office was because she was doing work at Riley's Children's Hospital and the like. Okay, well, see, this is why you shouldn't jump to conclusions. She wasn't off getting her nails done--she was helping really sick kids. So today was D-day. After reading Dora's "Show Me Your Smile" book a dozen times we headed over (it's very near the hospital). Everything about their office is geared towards their patients; they even have an alligator mailbox! We walked in and saw my daughter's (first) name listed on the Welcome Board. What a nice little touch! We were given a warm welcome by Jenny when we signed in. The fish tank (Nemo-themed) and kid sized tables and chairs were greatly endorsed by my daughter as we sat in the waiting room. They do have a policy about not being seen (potentially) if you are more than 10 minutes late. I think we got called in right around 10 minutes after our scheduled appointment time. (I would have a problem with an office where you can't be 10 minutes late, but they can. Not that I think the clients should be late. More so, I believe the doctors/dentists shouldn't be either!) We were taken back by Megan who did her best to elicit a smile from my daughter by taking the time to show her the treasure chest and the paintings of the underwater scenes through out the office. She did a fantastic job of talking to both patient and parent and in explaining what was going to happen in child-friendly terms. Dr. Derrow was a blessing! She took several minutes before getting started to talk with my daughter and asked questions that are 2 year old-friendly (Do you have any dogs at home? Are you in a big-girl bed or still in your snuggly crib?). She even had grape-scented purple latex gloves. How cool is that? What told me this was a place to have as our "dental home" was when my daughter started to cry (it's virtually inevitable at this age, isn't it?) and I began singing, "Wheels on the Bus" and I was joined in by not only Megan, but also by Dr. Derrow. Everyone in that office goes above and beyond to make your child feel cared for and welcomed. So many people congratulated my daughter on her first dental visit (even staff that wasn't directly caring for her) that it felt like she had a cheering section. Moreover, all of the staff seems to get along with one another, as well, and it shows. Oh and Tracy was extremely pleasant and super helpful as we were paying and saying goodbye. I even ended up with a good recommendation for Chinese food on my way out! One thing I might do differently, though, is just to pick up their dental brochure before going in for your child's first visit. The pictures show what the office looks like and there are photos of Dr. Derrow to help your child know what and whom to expect. Over all, I will absolutely be recommending this office again and again. Auburn is very blessed to have them here.

    I will never take my child back or refer anyone to this place. Very first visit and the dentist…read moresuggests surgery to do all work at once in the hospital while being put under. Then wants $6,000 up front before scheduling and after talking to several friends and family members this same place has been doing the same to others since they have opened in 2006. I would not suggest taking your child to this woman and then when you tell them you can't afford to pay that much up front they criticize you and talk to you like you are an idiot.

The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I didn't feel like a new client, I felt like an old friend! Dr. Hefelfinger was so amazing.

Looking forward to a lifetime of dental health!!

I had a couple thousand dollar bill back then. They said they would work with me on payments. After 6 weeks they wanted it settled up. So much for working with me. Fast forward 30 years. I walked in on Tuesday after Memorial day with my 5 tooth bridge in a baggie because it Broke off out of my mouth on Memorial day. 2 lady's where at the front desk (reception, and Dentist? Showed them my teeth in a bag handed it to the receptionist. The Dentist? Said she wasn't sure what she was looking at but suggested going to an emergency Dentist facility. She never looked at the baggie or my bridge. I sarcastically said thank you for all your help. They did say your welcome. 2 bad experiences in my lifetime! I'm looking elsewhere for dental work!!

    My son is autistic and terrified of doctors. This is the second time we have gone to them, and…read moreboth times, they were amazing and patient with him. They took his needs and issues into consideration, put us in a quiet room without all the noise of other children and dental equipment, and they talked to him, not just about him. It was refreshing, and I am so thankful to find dentists like them.

    I took my son to have seals put on his 6 year molars. This was only the 4th time in his little…read morelife he has ever been to the dentist. He was doing an ok job at keeping his mouth open. Well the lady working on him was not happy with him as many times as she kept repeating open your mouth. She did have his check stretched a little far as he kept grabbing at her hand. Again she kept saying if you don't keep your mouth open I will get a bite pillow and your not going to like that. That made me upset. Not want to scare my child while this lady is working on him I told her that my child will not be given a bite pillow regardless of his behavior. Well she was obviously upset and my son again started to close his mouth but this time she took her thumbs and forced his lower jaw open. I told her to please be more careful with my son. She said "mom this is all normal procedures When a patient is not cooperating" I was not happy at all on how my son was treated!! When he was finished he was crying and now says he doesn't like the dentist. I will not be bringing my child back to them due to how they treated him. Not all kids are going to be as willing. As someone working with kids (as they are scared) you should be trained on how to work with them. I would think twice before taking my child to this place again.

    This place is great- so good I'm inclined to write a review about a pediatric dentist!! The office…read moreis run so efficiently; the hygienist are great- and the kids enjoy coming. I am so impressed that the kids are seen at appointment time, in and out with a cleaning and the Dentist was present & on time. The ladies explained everything going on for the parents and my kid loves he gets to lay down and watch a movie, then a prize at the end of the appointment. I look forward to coming here and feel the experience is going to remove the stigma of dentists for the next generation. Kudos to the office!

Not Dr. Kilgore..she checks EVERYTHING to make sure all is currently well with my children and also goes over preventative care that should be done. We saw her today and I've never been so pleased to see what an amazing job she does. She is someone who genuinely cares about her patients. I've never seen her without a smile on her face nor have I ever met a Dr that will take as much time needed to explain things to the children, as well as their parents. She remembers us every time we step foot into the office and makes us feel so comfortable. My son ADORES her. He loves seeing his favorite Dr, as he would say. She sits down, chats with him about school or what's new in his life. I couldn't be more grateful to have her as a dentist for my son. She always asks how I'm doing and always offers a helping hand. It means so much to myself and my son. There need to be more doctors and people like her in general. She is a genuine kind hearted person. Not to mention our hygienist is so sweet and is someone who is very experienced. We have her every time we are in and absolutely love her and what a wonderful job she's done. If you're thinking about taking your little ones to the dentist and you want your child to have a staff that is so kind and compassionate, then this is definitely the place to go. Again, coming to see Dr Kilgore was a major score for my family! It takes someone special to be a pediatric dentist and she's just so naturally good with our children and they never have any fear of coming to the dentist. Five stars is definitely not enough to say how great Dr Kilgore and staff are. You all are sincerely amazing people and are so good at your profession. Thank you Dr. Kilgore for everything you have done to help us!!

    I would save your $ and go elsewhere. I went in to have a tooth filled and they sure did fill it in…read moreand when she was complete I heard an unusual noise and felt like she chipped it and the hygienist actually cracked the tooth. The dentist came in said it looks good. That night flossing it I could feel the gap there. Sure enough went to another dentist to evaluate and said it was cracked. If a filling was just done it shouldn't have a huge gap in it like this. I would assume with student loans and trying to buy a new practice needs to make the $. I notified Dr. Fisher and she never even responded = UNETHICAL DENTIST.
