I finally asked for recommendations of a PEDIATRIC Dentist and was sent to Tendercare. Ever since then, (approximately 10 years now), I have taken my boys to TenderCare. The staff is friendly and the doctor who was there (Dr. Kim), was awesome. I like the new Dr as well but Dr. Kim definitely made an impression on my boys and I. I recommend Tendercare to anyone looking for a friendly, and great place to take their kids for all dental needs.

Being a product of a horrible dentists during my childhood that have caused me to have a dental…read morephobia, I believe the BEST thing you can do for your child is to provide for a positive experience with the dentist. I live over an hour away from this place. Does that tell you anything? I think the staff is wonderful with the kids. They laid the groundwork with my son to not have a fear of the dentist and has kept his teeth in great shape despite his addiction to marshmallows (prizes for potty training). The dentists are grads from UPENN (currently the top dental school if not one of the top 3) and everyone we have worked (great hygienists and assistants) with have made this place awesome- Which is more than I can say about those Chain Pediatric dental offices that employ dentists who are not pediatric dentists at all..... Unlike at KOOL smiles or whatever it is called, they wont "YELL" at you child to calm them down by scaring them. They use this awesome reward system (token to get a prize for being good) at the end to pick a toy in one of the dispensers. ALSO, the cute ship for kids to play in at the corner of the waiting room - PERFECT. Kept my kids busy for my 5 min wait (which is forever in kid time) As for scheduling, I don't mind scheduling in advance for the appointments I need (Sorry, Angela C.), but when I've needed to reschedule, they were fine with it as long as it wasn't a last-minute thing (I changed it a week or two out). My son hasn't needed it yet, but they offer DVDs for kids to watch during their procedure...(healthy teeth thanks to this place) The office is a building shared with an orthodontist on the other side (uhm.. can we say perfect transition to the tween years?) the ONLY drawback is the distance... but it is worth it for us.

I scheduled an appointment for my daughter at this location, and while the booking process was…read morequick and easy and the front desk staff were friendly, that's where the positives ended. My daughter is 13, and I'm encouraging her independence, so when she preferred to go back alone, I waited in the lobby. The hygienist called her in, clearly aware I was her parent. After the cleaning, the dentist came in (walking right past me in the waiting area) to complete the exam and review the X-rays. It was determined my daughter had a cavity. At no point did either the hygienist or dentist speak with me directly. Instead, paperwork was handed off to the receptionist, who briefly told me my daughter would need to see a different dentist and gave a referral. That was the entirety of the communication. I chose not to follow their recommendation and instead sought care with another provider where communication was prioritized and we felt more supported. Clear communication is essential in healthcare, especially when treating children. Unfortunately, this office fell short. I would not recommend.

It does ease our mind to know they walk her over when her appointments are over, because my kid would sit right over there until I came to get her otherwise. So them walking her over makes her feel safe. Each visit we enjoy the personable exchanges we have with all team members. They are always friendly, informative and most of all very welcoming to the kids. My youngest son just started his dental appointments and I was. It sure how he'd do. I was pleasantly surprised at how well he did. They make the experience for kids go so easy. Timely, accommodating and a fun experience every time. We do miss seeing the beautiful bird they once had. I love coming here with my kids.

The abstraction was done in April 2020 covid times. We were the only ones in there. Appropriate for that time period. Every visit has been awesome. I never feel judged that my son or daughter scream or are scared. The dentists, staff and hygienists are friendly and understanding. They are patient with my children to help them understand what they are doing and why teeth cleaning is important. Can't recommend this Office enough for regular cleaning or other more in depth teeth needs.

I have a litany of complaints, but this was my final straw;…read more My son was scheduled for sedation to get his cavities filled. For at least 18 months prior we had been told all they could do was temporary fillings until they could do X-rays. We were told that X-rays would be done under sedation/at the time of treatment. In early May, we scheduled the appointment for sedation in late August. The day of the appointment, we arrived 10 minutes early, were called back after about 10 minutes in the waiting room, and then sat in the exam room waiting for about 30 more minutes. The doctor arrived and informed us that because there were no X-rays done, they would not be doing work that day and we would have to schedule out for December. The dentist we saw at this most recent appointment was very polite and apologetic, but we will not be returning.

The facility is always clean and the staff is pleasant and accommodating. Their services are automated which makes it easier on me as a parent. You have the option of filling out intake forms from your phone before arrival as a well. They have iPads in the waiting area and are always playing the latest and greatest kid movies on their numerous screens. They even go as far as having screen above the service chairs and for kids that can be a bit finicky in the chair I'm sure this helps a great deal. The staff are always patient with my babies, more recently the kids had to get X-rays of their teeth and they're always so understanding of their inability to keep the guard in for the pictures. Going as far as to reassure them even when they're unable to get the X-rays needed. Thanks for helping me keep my kids mouths fresh guys :o).

I don't know why I keep coming here tbh. I called a week ago to get an emergency appointment,…read morestating multiple times how swollen my son's jaw was and how much pain he was in. I also mentioned that he is due to get a routine cleaning. Even after stressing the EMERGENCY part, the best they could offer was an appointment a week out. I ended up having to take him elsewhere to get the emergency addressed but we still came to this appointment thinking he would get the cleaning I also mentioned. We get there. Wait. Get taken to a room. Wait. She comes back and says there's paperwork for the cleaning. Why wasn't it given to me when we checked in? I brushed off that thought and go to the reception desk where I'm told they only scheduled him because I said it was an emergency and that we'd have to come back to get the cleaning. IN WHAT FUKKN WORLD WOULD ANYONE ALLOW THEIR CHILD TO SUFFER WITH TOOTHACHE PAIN FOR A FUKKN WEEK THO?!?! THE FACT THAT THAT WAS THE BEST THEY COULD OFFER TO AN EXISTING PATIENT IS BEYOND ME. This is why I wish they did confirmation calls or something because I could have cleared this up and found a different dentist for the cleaning if I knew my damn time would be wasted with them. But this is usually the case so I won't be taking my son back.

I called the office to explain that I was told I would not be billed and they confirmed before my visit with the insurance company that both xrays were covered. Employee advised that the insurance company must have wrongly told their employee who checked my coverage prior to my visit.

I discovered this practice a few years back when my elderly mother required a new dentist and was…read morein dire need of replacement dentures. I couldn't have been more pleased with what I discovered. Dr. Mohomed and staff were extrordinarily welcoming and accommodating. They treated my mother like she was their own. Unfortunately, before the final dentures were complete, COVID happened. In addition, my mother fell and shattered her femur, ending up in a nursing home/rehab and unable to travel to the dentist for the fitting. In one of the most selfless and compassionate acts I have seen of a medical professional, Dr. Mohomed drove to my mother's nursing home after hours to fit her dentures in her bed. She then returned to her practice to make a final adjustment before taking them back to my mother -- again personally. What a relief to my mother -- Dr. Mohomed's selfless act relieved some of the strain of my mother's difficult recovery by allowing her to eat normally again. Witnessing Dr. Mohomed's skill and compassion convinced me to switch dentists as well. I have been a patient of GGDC for years since. I will also add from personal experience that in addition to being an amazing human being, Dr. Mohomed is skilled in performing complex dental procedures. Further, her hygenist is THE most thorough in my 60+ years of dental care. Her work is simply meticulous, and never rushed! Lastly, I must also complement the support staff as well -- they are all kind, knowledgable and run a tight ship...with compassion.
