The staff there is wonderful, caring and attentive. As I watched the lady talk to son today trying to make him feel as comfortable as possible with the procedures he was having done. I was just blown away. My child doesnt really talk to anybody to start off with. But she got him talking and was even able to make him feel safe enough with her to walk over with her only to get his pictures of his teeth. She was also able to get him to finish his check up and finishing his cleaning without crying anymore. Was truly a sight. We have been going here for years. And always the staff and the doctor

We had Dr. Rosenblum. He was very nice and personable. He checked on my 6 year old and 18 month old. This office has such a great atmosphere, very relaxing, and made for a fun experience for both kids. My 6 year old was especially nervous, but that quickly went away when she met her hygienist. Those ladies are so awesome.

Our son has been seeing DR Hasty since he was first old enough to get into the chair when he was still in kindergarten. He is going to be 21 years old and he still loves going to him. He is very professional but can be funny and kind which keeps the kids minds off of anything too serious. The whole office staff is wonderful . My son said he will stay until they kick him out... (It is quite a site to see him sitting there with in the waiting room with other children...but he is fine with it...because there are plenty of other older teens in there as well..) I wonder if they all feel the same way

I know it's a practice just for kids but they really do a great job with the little ones! My daughter had her first filling at 3 years old (groovy teeth aren't groovy!) and they were quick, friendly, and made her feel as comfortable about the process as possible. I came here when I was younger, had braces here, and am happy to bring my kids back.

We love this dental office! Both of my daughters receive dental care and orthodontic care here. I can't say enough about the customer service of the staff and the excellent care. The doctors are top-notch! We loved Dr. Barney (retired), and we adore Dr. Wright and Dr. Levin too!

I truly appreciated how patient they were with my daughter. She talks and asks a lot of questions and she gets freaked out by the dentist but they were so patient and she grew to be comfortable with them. We recently had to go in to extract one of her baby teeth due to another tooth coming in and there was no room for it to grow and they were fast and my daughter was laughing saying that it didnt hurt one bit. (They did numb here but she didnt think about that - kids!!!) Now she has her tooth and is excited. Thank you so much. I definitely recommend. They were really good with my baby on

My children are always excited to go here! I've always hated going to the dentist, ever since I was a child. But, my kids continue to have very pleasant expierences and they really like everyone who works here. As a mom, this all makes me extremely happy! The dentist is very thorough, honest and always a joy to be around. The hygienists and ladies at the front desk have always had positive attitudes with smiles too. I highly recommend going here.
