The assistants and hygienists were wonderful with my kids — patient, gentle, and great at explaining things in a way that made them feel comfortable and even a little excited about their visit. Dr. Suzy is an absolute gem. Her professionalism, deep knowledge, and gentle approach make her a true standout.

“Brush and Play is the best dentistry, the staff are kind , patient and gentle. They explain the procedure to my kids. Dr Ko is exceptional, very attentive and explains findings well. My experience has been great with receiving care. BUT the ONLY issue is scheduling. For school age kids its impossible to bring them in during school hours. They don't have availability for early morning (7 am as some orthodontists have) nor evening after 4pm.Currently they are filled up until January 2026 for a late afternoon appointment (after 3:30pm for regular checkup and cleaning).

“My 4-year-old son had a dental procedure today at Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry, and I truly can’t say enough good things about our experience. Ace needed 4 crowns and 2 fillings, which meant going under anesthesia — I was extremely nervous as a parent. From start to finish, Dr. Yen (anesthesiologist) and Dr. Chang (dentist) were absolutely amazing. Everything went smoothly, and they made my son feel comfortable and safe the entire time. What really stood out to me was how empathetic and reassuring they were to me as well. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions without rushing, and truly understood how scary it is for a parent to see their child go under anesthesia. They checked in with us before and even after the procedure via text, which made me feel so at ease and cared for. The entire staff was wonderful — so kind, patient, and helpful. One team member even walked us to our car afterward, which meant so much. And shout-out to Amy — we love her! This level of care, compassion, and communication is exactly why I love Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry. Such an incredible team and such kind doctors. Highly recommend.”
