What Amazing Kidz patients and their parents say when they smile out loud!
This office is hands down the best dentist we have ever been to! Anyone considering using this office should not hesitate, you won’t be disappointed!! My only complaint is that they don’t do adult dental work because I would bring my whole family in for care!!
What a great experience my son and I had with Amazing Pediatric Dentistry. A short wait to go back helped with any nerves he had. Once in the back, he was treated so kindly by the capable staff. For any challenges, a quick solution. We look forward to our next visit!
I shopped around for a great pediatric dentist and found it here! Not only does the staff treat you with respect and cheer, they treat the children well and make it an almost magical experience. Between the crystal chandelier over their heads by the x-ray and the fun games and tokens for the prize at the end—your kids will truly enjoy this place!
Took my 16 month old because he had chipped his tooth on our tile. I was able to have him seen that day! Everyone there was so nice and they made the experience as fun as possible for my little guy. The whole office is definitely geared towards kids and making it a great experience for them. Would highly recommend going there!
