    Ive been going to Dr. Yu’s for about 2 years now for cleaning and routine dental health. I’ve had a very positive experience: easy scheduling and professional care. Dr. Yu, Gilbert, and Dr. Ray are fantastic people and motivated me to floss. Would recommend MY Dental Place to friends and family.

    At our second visit to Bay Area Kids Dentistry we had an amazing experience! Our son’s hygienist Selma was very engaging and considerate of our young 3 year old.

    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). Very disappointing.

    We had an amazing first experience at Los Gatos Pediatric Dentistry with my two kids (13 and 9). From the front office staff to the dental team, everyone was so kind, professional, and organized. The staff at the front desk truly go out of their way to help with scheduling and make everything easy and stress-free. 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. She has the rare gift of making kids feel comfortable, respected, and even excited about dental care, with that reassuring tone that turns what could be a nerve-wracking visit into a fun learning experience.

    My three year old daughter had a wonderful experience with Forever Smiles Pediatric Dentistry. Everyone in the office was so warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. It was also really easy to schedule an appointment with the dentist office. The professional staff responded to all my questions quickly and with detailed knowledge. During our dental appointment Dr. Sido provided me with so many insightful details to consider as I begin my journey of maintaining healthy teeth for my growing daughter. The overall experience was exceptional. I highly recommend Forever Smiles Pediatric to anyone looking for quality dental care.

    My daughter has been with Pediatric Dentistry of Palo Alto since the first dental appointment when she was a baby and still going there as a teenager. Always so relaxing and everybody is so friendly. She actually has been always looking forward to her dental appointment. When she was young, she loved the video she could watch when got teeth cleaned and the goody she got after. Now she still loves her dental appointment because she likes her dentist, Dr Jon. In addition to his professionalism, Dr Jon really pays attention to the details and can remember some swollen gum from previous appointment. He always explains things clearly and never rush . Dr. Jon has a great sense of humor and communicate with teenagers so well. He is so funny and makes the appointment actually enjoyable.

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Growing Smiles Pediatric Dentistry with Dr. Fazilat and his amazing team! It was my son Eli’s very first dental visit, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the dentist. From the moment we walked in, the staff was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. Scheduling the appointment was quick and easy, and I really appreciated being able to fill out all the forms online ahead of time. Once we arrived, the office was bright, fun, and inviting for kids. They made everything enjoyable for Eli. He got to watch his favorite cartoons during the visit, and the staff was so attentive and caring. Dr. Fazilat was incredible with my son and made sure he felt comfortable every step of the way. Eli wasn’t scared at all, which was such a relief for me as a parent! To top it all off, Eli got a cool prize and a t-shirt on the way out, and every single staff member said goodbye to us with a smile. I highly recommend Dr. Fazilat and Growing Smiles to any parent looking for a positive and fun dental experience for their child!

    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.

    My children have been patient’s seen in office since about 6 months old. They are now 4 and 5 1/2 years old. They are not afraid to be seen by the practitioner/dentist. The dentist are young and friendly to pediatric patients and staff. Appears to be a very positive working environment. The equipment is caterer/geared towards pediatric dentist patients, which is a fun concept that makes dental health fun and less intimidating. The facility is clean and full of activities for the peds patients to use while waiting to be seen. There are lots of patients and work stations. My children and I have always encountered an extremely nice professional dentist that understands the needs of the pediatric dentist patients of all ages. The children have the option of a movie while in the dentist chair and free play in the lobby or outside. Check-in is great, fast and I appreciate the acknowledgement of my family.. The only issue I have is the long wait times between dentists and patients. It seems as though the dentist is always behind seeing patients and it can become disruptive for the other young patients waiting. I completely understand, time gets away and everyone is extremely busy. But this has happened several times. Staff is great and professional and friendly.
