What a wonderful childrens dentist office - the staff is friendly and warm, the walls are decorated w/the famous Where the Wild Things Are theme, and they have a beautiful salt water fish tank. My toddler immediately felt comfortable and played w/the train set upon arrival. The atmosphere is perfect for any childs first dentist experience. Dr. Ben Pham was engaging and helpful, and my 2.5yr old was able to relax and have a positive dentist appt!

They are so so good with my young daughters who are usually quite shy and timid. They get them laughing and of course have kids prizes at the end. Super knowledgeable and friendly. The office is fun and clean and has a great vibe. We love Big Tooth Little Tooth!

What a great first experience we had at this practice! Dr. Kristin and Stephanie were super friendly and great with the kids. Dr. Kristin provided a lot of education and helpful recommendations that we can use to improve upon what we are already doing with our kids. Its also a vibrant, friendly environment that is spotless. My son actually said "that was fun!" afterwards. We feel very fortunate to have found such a nice place.
