We have been going to Parkside (and its former dental team) for over 10 years and always have a…read moregreat experience. However, I want to share about the great care we received after our 9 year old's dental emergency. On Sunday, she fell at home and broke her front tooth--not just a chip, but a large chunk, leaving exposed nerve. After a bit of panicked searching I found the right number to call and was immediately transferred to the emergency on-call dentist. Even though Parkside was closed, in 30 minutes we were meeting with their colleague (shout out to Dr Ozzie of Danville) who took X-rays and then successfully reattached the broken piece of her tooth. She was so warm and reassuring to both me and my child. Less than 2 hours after the accident, we were headed home and my daughter was smiling again. The tooth looks great--you can't even tell there's a line unless you look very closely. Even though this dentist does not normally take our insurance, for the emergency, everything was still handled as if we had been seen directly at Parkside. I can't say what a relief it was that they had this service/partnership in place, so we did not have to worry in the midsts of the crisis! My daughter was then checked by her regular care team a few days later. Everyone was so kind and empathetic and really cared about her--they'd all seen photos of what happened. The staff also took my feedback that having to click through their menu options to find the emergency number was somewhat confusing in the moment, and within the hour messaged me that they had changed their voicemail to list the emergency number first, so future panicking parents won't be confused! I think I earned a few gray hairs from this experience, but really have nothing but positive things to say for how things were handled in the midsts of such a scary event. Thanks Parkside for being there to save my daughter's smile.

During the era of Covid we were referred to Dr. Saini by our regular dental office because they stopped doing pediatrics. I'm so thankful they did because we have never looked back.

My kids are easy to deal with but I've been there when they had some "other" kinds of kids in there and they have their ways of dealing with them on point. Our last dentist did a really bad job on some of my daughters dental and I paid out of pocket to have Dr. Saini fix it rather than going back to the other dentist.

I chose this children's dentist based on positive reviews and decided to go out-of-pocket,…read moreexpecting a smooth experience. Unfortunately, after our second visit, things went downhill quickly. Our appointment was for our 1-year-old daughter -- a very simple visit with no X-rays or special procedures. Because I was paying out of pocket, I was supposed to be charged the full amount upfront, with insurance billing afterward for reimbursement. That did not happen. Weeks later, I received a surprise bill for over an additional hundred dollars. This was never discussed at the time of the visit and came completely out of the blue. While surprise billing is generally not allowed in California (with dentists often excluded), this felt like billing in bad faith. When I called the office to clarify, I was told I still needed to pay the balance and that because I had used a "coupon" on my first visit, I was "still getting a good deal." There was no apology, no acknowledgment of their billing mistake, and no accountability for failing to charge the correct amount initially -- just a demand for more money. I specifically chose this office instead of an in-network provider because I assumed they knew how to properly handle out-of-pocket visits. They clearly did not. Additionally, I was not given a choice regarding fluoride treatment for my daughter. She was only 1 year old, had no evidence of tooth decay, and there was no discussion about whether fluoride was necessary or optional. I believe parents should be informed and given the choice before exposing such a young child to fluoride, especially when the need is not clearly established. That conversation never happened. Overall, this experience was disappointing and frustrating. If you're considering this office -- especially if you're paying out of pocket -- be aware that you may receive unexpected bills weeks later and that important treatment decisions may be made without proper discussion or consent.

We were looking for a pediatric dentist for our children as we had been taking them to our dentist,…read morewho we love. However, we figured a pediatric dentist would be better equipped and outfitted for wiggly kiddos. I asked in a local Facebook Mom group for pediatric dentist office recommendations based on the needs of our children, and I saw overwhelmingly positive reviews for a few. From there, I took to Yelp and I saw the 5-star reviews for Little Cloud. I called them up, and the receptionist was so delightful and happy to answer any questions. They take our insurance and had openings, so we made our appointments. Now that we've had two cleanings there, it was time to write another all star review for them! I can't praise Dr. Rachel and her office enough! First off, they are easy to make appointments with and have their own private parking lot right in front. This makes everything so easy. Her staff are sweet and sincere, and joyful! When you're greeted, the energy is positive like not only are they happy to be there, but they're happy you're there too! That type of energy and atmosphere is exactly what you want at a pediatric dentist's office! The office is SO cute and well thought out! There's a fun light-up wall with knobs for the kiddos to play with, plus some more toys and books. The furniture is adorable with little cloud stools and a very cool light up cloud ceiling! I mean, this office feels straight out of Instagram/Pinterest! It's way too cute! However, the praise doesn't just stop at the office decor. Looks aren't everything, so more importantly, Dr. Rachel is such a pleasure! She's fantastic with children. She has great techniques to work on babies and nervous children. Fidgety kids? She has TVs mounted on the ceiling as well to hold their interest while she works. She has a fun bar where kids can pick their flavor for their cleaning. Every detail here has been thought out. Plus, she is so kind and informative! She tells you what she's doing and gives helpful intel and advice. Her office is very modern, and bright, with the latest gadgets to help her do her work smoothly and quickly. She also offers appointments where her specially trained therapy dogs can be present! The dogs are in the office twice a week. Our next appointment is when they're there and we're excited! Plus, after the appointment, kiddos can head to the prize wall and get a gapcha! So fun! Plus, on our first visit, they took a cute Polaroid of us to commemorate our visit, and the kids got some cute little items! I love the cloud toothbrush cover! Plus, my baby loved her cloud squishy toy! The entire practice goes out of their way to not only make you feel welcome, but to make the visit fun and enjoyable! This second visit, any nervousness was gone! It was the best dental visit my 6-year-old has ever had, and our 1.5's visit was also a breeze! I couldn't believe how well it went, and its a testament to Dr. Rachel and her team! This is the type of vibe I want when I take them to the dentist. I mean, this is the type of vibes I want when I go too. Does she take adults? hahah :) We're so happy there and highly recommend Dr. Rachel!
