We had our first visit today with my 20 month old and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The office staff are so kind and the dentist is GREAT with kids. He explained everything step by step, took time to bond with my kid and gave me tons of great advice as a parent. I received teething advice, tips on brushing and dental care, and he answered all my questions. The exam was quick and painless. We feel very lucky to have found this practice. Thanks for providing excellent care!

He was so kind to both kids and had great explanations for my older one. Clean and well organized office with private offices where siblings can be side by side. Highly recommend this place!!

I brought my almost 3-year-old for his first dentist visit, long overdue because of COVID. I was expecting the worst because he's timid and always cries at other doctor's appointments. He did excellently and had no tears, thanks to Janelle and Dr. Jack! They were enthusiastic and extremely patient and kind. They explained all the tools and procedures in a kid-friendly, fun, and clear way.
