Posted on Google Racheal PossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Chris is the most amazing Pediatric Dentist, and his staff is the best! 10/10 recommend taking your kiddos here!Posted on Google Kyndall WrayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our first appt here today and our experience was 10/10 from the time I called to schedule the appointment. The receptionist (male) who I spoke to while scheduling appts helped me understand the insurance questions I had and scheduled our appointments promptly. I really appreciated him. Then today for our actual visit, the hygienist was very kind and thorough and then the dentist (Dr. Chris) was spectacular. They had a cancellation right after our cleaning so my son was able to get his work done right away and it was the easiest, most simple process. So glad we came here!!!!Posted on Google Michelle ChuppTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a great experience bringing our children here! I really appreciated the room setup where I could easily see all of my children at once during their appointments. The doctor was very kind, explained everything so well to my kids, and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and patient, and my children genuinely enjoyed their visit — especially the coin machine at the end! We felt very welcomed and cared for, and the staff all did a wonderful job. Highly recommend for families with children!Posted on Google Stay ClassyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone was wonderful ❤️ We absolutely loved it!

We had our first visit at Tooth Haven today, and it was a wonderful experience! Ashley, the hygienist, was amazing with my toddler. She had him laughing and smiling the entire time, which made the visit so much easier and more enjoyable. Dr. Chris was fantastic, very professional and personable. He took the time to thoroughly discuss my son’s dental history and address all of my concerns. We felt very welcomed and well cared for from start to finish. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Chaylizabeth BlondowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris is amazing! Staff was great and friendly also. So glad he has his own place now
