Bowman is a quack. Be very careful about going here. Brought our five year old son in and Bowman "found" five cavities that needed to be filled. He recommended general anesthesia. For a five year old!!! We then went to another dentist for a second opinion who recommended taking no action and the cavities were still very small and could be monitored. And in rebuttal to the response: that's great you give options. But there's an inherent asymmetry of information you have vis a vis uneducated parents and to even potentially suggest general anesthesia for the beginnings of cavities that don't even need to be treated is absolutely insane. Especially for a child. I get it that anesthesia brings you more revenue and eggs are expensive these days but really? read more

WONDERFUL! This practice is by far the best pediatric dentist I've ever experienced(I have a 4 year old, 15 year old, so I've had some time to go through a few). Dr. Patrick and his staff take time to ask about not just your teeth, but your family, plans, and generally care about you in general. My son has never been fearful and loves everyone here. He is 4 1/2 and we've been coming since he got his first few teeth. Thank you for making this a great experience! read more

Greetings! My name is Katie, and this is my one hundred percent super honest review of our very first trip (with our second appointment already scheduled) to Wash Park Pediatric Dentistry. First and foremost, my son Noah is eight years old and diagnosed with severe Autism. He also has a history of traumatic dental visit experiences. Both occurred during toddlerhood while residing in Texas. It was in fact a pediatric dentist office. Anywho. Oh my goodness, y'all! Noah did so incredibly well (for him) during the entire visit!!! I must admit I wasn't expecting him to tolerate more than about five minutes of anything due to his immense sensory + anxiety issues. I was pretty prepared of the possibility we may end up leaving right after arriving, but the office itself is so inviting. Noah immediately dove and dropped to his knees in front of the tiny little kitchen with the cute play food. Poor Bob his beloved brand new cuddle buddy Minion thrown and discarded beside him. I was able to speak with the lovely front office staff without any interruption or distraction. A Mom exhale, if you will. Whew! Our dental hygienist was named Lauren, and she was absolutely amazing with my son. She's a complete gem! Beyond actually! Noah wanted very little to do with me while Lauren was near. I was the one assigned to the receiving end his frustrations of having to be somewhere he didn't want to be experiencing new sensations he didn't want to particularly experience. We all know that feeling. :) I'm pretty certain my adoptive Mom would confirm I did the same exact thing to her growing up. Lauren's voice is extraordinarily calming, so Noah was as relaxed as he's capable of being. She ever so kindly informed Noah of every single step prior to, introduced him to her tools "friends" plus asked Noah if he'd like to feel each one in the order of being utilized on his finger. Noah felt so relaxed and in complete control of the entire situation he was in. This is always of major importance to him. Lauren had Noah raising his hand for any breaks needed, allowing time to sneak in Minecraft moves on Mom's phone (oh how I tried to put it away), involving Bob the Minion in our appointment, redirecting kindly to Bluey playing on the tv on the ceiling and placing the phone down for just a second. I loved how she reminded him to take deep breaths (and we all did simultaneously together) during his cleaning. Dr. Patrick was just as amazing! Zero complaints from this Mom. Noah took to him instantaneously which is almost a no go every single time when it comes to a new adult especially a doctor of any kind. He's very apprehensive with new people in general for the exception of children. Dr. Patrick was so informative regarding Noah's teeth, gums, etc. He really allowed me to become so much more educated + knowledgeable when it comes to pediatric dentistry in general. Well, as much as a Mom brain can comprehend + retain. I didn't feel rushed at all with any questions or concerns. Dr. Patrick was extremely easy to talk to, and his demeanor was super down to earth. He really has a great vibe which is of major importance in my opinion. He's also very professional yet totally chill which is refreshing. I felt truly at ease as the patient's parent. I forgot to mention how well Noah did with the x-rays thanks to Lauren yet again! Phenomenal!!! We all know how bizarre it feels to bite down on that guard thingie. :) The office is so so so new inside. Oh, and may I add pristinely neat and clean. The interior designer I believe was from out of Oregon. I found it modern, cozy and interesting to take in. It's a very comfortable place to be. An absolute overall relaxed chill environment. This is very important to Noah. He's so observant + opinionated. The prize setup on the way out was a major hit!!! Noah picked out a squishy chocolate glazed donut with sprinkles (So presh!!!) and a sticker of Raya. He's still stoked about 24 hours later when it comes to his prizes. This office is very accommodating like I've never honestly experienced with Noah before or in my 45 years on this planet. I'd most definitely recommended Dr. Patrick and his staff of greatness to any special needs parent/grandparent/guardian that's reading this especially, but honestly anyone really that's looking for the best of the best with specific needs or tastes. If you're picky, go here!!! With peace and love! read more

My 6 year old son has Autism and ADHD. They scheduled him for a Saturday appointment when there were no other patients there. They were very flexible with where we talked about him, and they LISTENED. They UNDERSTOOD our son and the accommodations that he needs to have complete dental work done. I am so incredibly thankful that we found them. I would 100% recommend them for any kids, especially those with special needs. read more

UPDATE:We got our daughter into another dentist and found out what we were told was a cavity on her front tooth wasn't a cavity at all. The new dentist cleaned up her tooth and you can no longer even see that there was a blemish on the front . The current dentist said it was rough enamel from possibly bumping it before the tooth came in. I had told wash park I thought this was the case and it was dismissed . Instead, the wash park dentist told me I shouldn't be using fluoride free toothpaste and that she had a cavity . The new dentist didn't restrain her , they were very sweet and if they needed to adjust for Ellivia they did . No screaming , no restrains & she left much happier because her personal needs were understood & she was treated like a person . -To wash park, Ellivia Kinnison was seen by you in your office July 8 2021 at 4:30pm . read more

Dr. Patrick, and especially his office management team, are thorough and compassionate. Heidi spent 30 minutes explaining my son's upcoming sedation procedure, answering all questions and addressing things I hadn't thought of. Corrine at the front desk has a very calming demeanor, making the first greet very welcoming. I appreciate Dr. Patrick's direct communication, as I feel informed and able to then make the best decision for my kids. Dr. Gordon (Anesthesiologist) was warm and welcoming, making myself and son feel more at ease. With routine visits, they've handled crying/nervous toddlers with kid gloves. Very clean office and cute waiting area. Glad I found WPPD and will continue to stay with them. read more

Dr. Patrick was wonderful! I felt like he truly cared about us and took time to explain everything before even looking to see if my daughter had a tongue tie. We specifically went to him because a friend had shared that her son had a slight lip tie, but Dr. Patrick suggested to just keep an eye on it for now because it wouldn't be beneficial at this point to cut it. I know not all dentists would do that and a lot just want to do the procedure for the money. My baby did need to get her tongue tie cut because it was severe and Dr. Patrick explained the procedure to us and was very detailed about everything. The office staff was also very accommodating and kind from talking to them on the phone to the entire time at the office. I would highly recommend this place! read more

The entire staff all are wonderful with children, are attentive and very friendly. We feel very lucky to have Wash park Pediatric Dentistry in our neighborhood! read more

Wow! Pediatric dentist offices have improved light years since I was a kid. I took my child to Wash Park Pediatric Dentistry and had a remarkable experience. The office environment was wonderfully kid-friendly with bright colors in a warm setting. The staff were super friendly, compassionate and caring and made us feel right at home. They even have some dental-themed toys for children to inspect and play with. My child was very comfortable with Dr. Bowman and was able to relax in the dentist chair since she was able to watch her favorite show on celling mounted TV. He was highly-skilled, very thorough and answered all of my questions. I left feeling validated and comforted that we had found the child-focused dentist we'd been seeking. read more

do NOT go here!! Dr. Bowman filled a cavity in my 5 year old daughter which was already filled by another dentist and didn't tell me and charged me for it! He also had an emergency and other patients waiting and number my daughter's mouth over a half hour to 40 minutes before starting her "care" during which time, the nurse was reading and sending messages on the Internet and not watching my daughter who bite a giant chunk off her tongue and was gushing blood! The tongue was mangled and had a major problem for over a week and now has a chunk out of it even after healing. The doctor gave absolutely LAME excuses for this happening and never apologized. it was APPAULING! The website says that there is another dentist that works there but he told me it is only him at that office. He has loads of BS excuses and stories about everything I asked about. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE CRAZY TO GO THERE!!! They clearly should not have number her so long before he was ready and should have put cotton in her mouth to avoid this, which would've been perfectly effective had his nurse actually been doing her job and watching my daughter rather than sending messages online. read more
