What Families Are Saying

VictoriaAnn H.

The girls cleaning and brushing both of my daughters’ teeth were absolutely amazing with them!!! The way they talked to both of them(they’re 3 and almost 5) and were so gentle and sweet to them really helped keep them both calm and happy through the entire appt! It was our first visit here and we lan on definitely coming back!!

Salema D.

My niece and my nephew are patients here and every time I bring them it’s always a great experience. They are very patient with the little ones and maintain calm and welcoming attitudes even when the little ones are having a difficult time. The office is beautifully designed and kid friendly! All the providers are amazing! Best place for kids’

Samantha F.

Great experience! Took great care of my 2 year old who hates getting her teeth brushed. They had a cute little area specifically for her with her name written on the board to make her experience a little extra special. They were sweet and gentle. The doctor came in and explained everything. This was her first time at this office (she’s been to one other one twice before) and I’ll always COME HERE! Thanks everyone :)

Mercedes L.

Great experience since we’ve been coming for 2+ years and even with our third child, we’ve felt welcomed. Tips and resources have been shared to help the kids not get cavities. They even gave the baby a certificate!

Shakora R.

Such an amazing place. I love how professional each staff member is. Show a lot of hospitality. They are very quick and efficient. Everything is done in a timely manner. My children have gone here for over 13 years now. They are able to accommodate any needs for children from age to disability. If there is a problem with your child the doctor will pull you into his office and communicate such. Actually breaks things down to your understanding. So days will even fit in the time to complete fillings and etc or schedule you out no more than a week. I love this place - check them out

Kate T.

Both of my children are patients here and we love it! The office staff is always so nice and pleasant to deal with. (Candace is our favorite! She always makes us feel so welcomed) We’ve even had to go to their surgical center in Philadelphia and had great experiences there as well. We see both Drs and they’re both great. One of my kids experience crazy anxiety everytime he has to go- and their patience and kindness with him doesn’t go unseen and is much appreciated

Chutima S.

It was my daughter’s first appointment and it went so well! The waiting room was very colorful and my daughter loved the little tent to play in and books available. The team had sent a letter earlier in the week for paperwork to be filled out at home. The nurses were very nice and gentle with her first appointment. Dr.Red was so pleasant and informative. Though there were tears I left the appointment feeling well informed and reassured everyone wanted to do the best they could for my daughter. The goodie bag and personalized signs welcoming us to the appointment was also a really nice bonus!

Amanda T.

Love this place ! Me and my family have been coming here for years. Dr. Rutherford and Dr Tran are great ! There may be a little wait but the staff is always friendly and informative! Place is clean and my son loves the space themed waiting area! Thanks again dentistry for children!

Monique T.

My 2 year old daughter visited for the first time today and everyone was so warming and nice. They made us feel welcomed. The receptionist was great! Ms. Leandra and Ms. Meagan were so patient and comforting with my daughter while she cried but they were able to still get her cleaning done. Dr. Matt was so nice and comforting. I overall loved our experience and I know Peytón did as well. So happy we found a dental home for my daughter.

Simply C.

My experience with dentistry for children has been very positive. I have been bringing my children into the office since they were little. I now have two adult children and two teenagers. My adult children always say how much they miss coming to the office and wishes they took adult patients as well. Because they feel like there isn’t any other dentist office like this one. The staffing is amazing so very helpful, nice, friendly and very knowledgeable. I am so very grateful to have been recommended to this wonderful dentist office. Thank you!

Jessica

My kids always come out happy & with so many toys to take home! They call Dr. Steph, Dr. Stephy because they love her so much. She is so kind and caring for my children! I am happy that I am able to find a good dental office for my girls.

Trish

My daughter had a bubble on her gums and it was concerning me so I called in to make a new patient appointment for her to be seen ASAP! The receptionist was very helpful and had us come in that morning. Turns out she had an absces! I am so glad that they were able to accommodate at! Her absces tooth was removed and she's doing so much  better now! Thank you Dr. Matt for taking care of my daughter.

Jared

My wife and I have four kids and have been going to this pediatric office ever since my oldest son was 1 years old. That is over about 15 years! My children's dentist has always been very kind and answers any questions and concerns that I have. The office staff is very professional, and it is always an easy process when scheduling appointments. My daughter had a terrible toothache and was able to be seen day of without any trouble! Everyone at this office is very caring for their patients.

Tam

I’ve seen the workers patiently work with children and their parents as the dentist can be an uncomfortable and scary experience. They thoroughly examined my little sister’s teeth and when asked about her experience, she said the dentist and ladies were really nice and made her smile when she was scared. I would recommend for your kids if you want a comfortable environment knowing your kids are in good hands, especially since the guardians are not allowed to go to the procedure rooms.

Safia

I went on a same day appointment to get my daughter’s teeth checked and there was no wait time. Staff were friendly and professional. The pediatric dentist and the nurse were very sweet with my daughter. Thank you!
