I've always had good experiences here up until the last few years. My kids have been patients for many years. I take them the recommended time frame because I don't want them to need any major work and or have a fear.
1. They push their orthodontist when it's not needed. I've been asked to take my kids for evaluations many times to their orthodontist and I did. I was given price quotes. Very expensive. Then decided to go for second opinions. For my son the work wasn't needed they were recommending. For my daughter; the work was needed but Dr. Navarro's office was

I am so thankful to have found the BEST pediatric dentist in the Bay Area. My oldest daughter had an accident and needed to get one of her teeth extracted. She was anxious before going into the procedure, but Dr. Navarro made it such a positive experience for her. Dr. Navarro was AMAZING (yes, in all caps) - Dr. N chatted with my daughter, kept her calm and entertained the entire time, which really helped distract her from her nerves. Check in was smooth and easy. The rooms are beautiful and inviting with the ocean decor. It is evident that everyone in the office, including their awesome front

Awesome place for kids! I have three kids that come here for their check ups. My oldest actually looks forward to going to the dentist. The place is nicely decorated and they have the option to watch a movie or show during the treatment.They even get prizes at the end! Everyone is wearing masks and the kids have to sanitize their hands before picking prizes. They are also very good about reminding parents via email and text about their upcoming appointments. Scheduling is easy and the staff is friendly.

Dr. Navarro and staff have been so great with my family! My autistic child has been coming here for the past 8 years! Any medical appointments give him very high anxiety and they have been so patient with us to make sure he and I are always comfortable. Anesthesia has had to be used for 2 dental procedures and before hand they were very cautious and attentive to the health of my son. We have always felt very safe and knew that our best interest always came first.

Dr. Navarro & staff have been blessing. I consider myself lucky in finding a pediatric dentistry that is accommodating to my special needs child as they have ALWAYS gone the extra mile on ensuring our needs are met. My child has gone through 2 successful dental surgeries with their staff & I highly recommend them especially if your child has special needs.

My daughter is almost 5 years old now and her teeth are still going strong! She was cavity free the last two check ups and we are just so proud of how much our girl has been caring for her teeth. It validates the decision we made to have Dr. Navarro treat our daughter's teeth. I can't imagine my daughter having no top teeth (as the other dentist we had seen recommended extractions), especially at this age! My daughter is a bubbly girl who loves playing with pretend makeup and playing dress up. Some people may disagree about the importance of appearance for such a young age, but my daughter

My kids love going to the dentist because of Dr. Navarro and her staff. They always place the well-being of my children first, ensuring they are comfortable prior to every x-ray, cleaning and procedure they have had since they were toddlers. At the end, my kids leave happy, even after tooth extractions. As for the parent experience, they are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Always explaining how to help my kids dental health, like identifying what tooth we should start wiggling to prepare for the permanent tooth coming in (to avoid extracting by the dentist and braces), and always checking
