Denea was so nice and very patient with my son. She made it so effortlessly engage my son to have his teeth examined and even took X-rays without difficulty. And my son keeps saying "thank you Doctor " to her. Thank you for providing exemplary service!

I love this dentist, I am 19 and still going there, I wish I could stay even when I get older. They are so nice and understanding. Even when I get fillings they are patient as I always need more of the shot/numbing gel. The doctors and helpers are so kind, it's the best dentist!

We have came here since my kid first needed a dentist. Now I have 3 and they do a fantastic job on all 3. They all get seen at once and you would think they were going to disney with how excited they get about going. We recommend them to everyone!

Our first experience taking our daughter to the dentist and it was impressive! I have no comparison to other places but all I can say is it felt welcoming and they made my daughter feel so comfortable! I wish I remembered their names because they deserve some recognition for their professionalism and how personable with the parents and children they were!

We have had amazing experiences with Dr Reyna. She is super funny, caring and gentle. She also explains everything extremely well and makes sure we are informed for future treatments. My daughter is anxious at the dentist from previous bad experiences and she makes her feel as comfortable as possible. Also, the dental assistant Yamel, was also super caring and sweet and cleaned my daughters teeth comfortably. Thanks so much!

Great atmosphere and very kind throughout the whole visit. Made my daughter feel comfortable during her visit. Best dentist we've done to & can't wait to take my other kids there.

We have attended this office for a few years now, but our last experience was exceptional. My youngest was scared to get her teeth cleaned, so during her older sibling's exam, the hygienist made every effort to involve her and demystify the teeth cleaning experience. The hygienist even gave her little props so she could do her own dental exam on herself!

The dentist came in and jumped right on board to help make the experience easy and enjoyable. As a parent, I was floored with how awesome the team was. At the end of the appointment, we had no tears and my youngest left with a huge smile on her face :

When I brought my children here, all my kids were sanitized, and got their temperature checked, they also made sure they were clean and safe ready to go in. The staffs treated my kids with kindness and care, and respected us well for our decision and requests. I really recommend this place I give it a 10/10 best children's dental care you need to go to :

Absolutely the most painless dental experience I've ever been a party to. Dr Dabir was just absolutely incredible. Every single person we encountered from front desk to dental assistants was polite, knowledgeable, and beyond amazing with my children. My two year old, who hates people near her face, listened and clapped and played along and even sat through a cleaning.

My six year old got spacers and a filling (done with lazers! I can not say enough about how amazing it is not to have to get a needle jammed into my baby's gums (the lazer made it so she didn't require a local anesthetic!) Every single step was gently explained to us, they checked in with us frequently, consistently making sure my girls felt safe and weren't in pain. Honestly, if I'd have had dentists like this as a child, it would have been life changing. I cant say enough good things about this place. We drove 45 minutes for this appointment because of raving reviews we'd heard and read and it was SO WORTH IT! 10/10

Dr. Dabir, is an excellent dentist, he is so caring and helpful. My child has multiple disabilities and he was so caring and patient with her. We could not have been blessed with a better doctor. I highly recommend him and his staff.

We had such a great experience! This is our 3rd dental visit and our 1st at this office. For the first time my 3 year old didn't cry at the dentist. The staff and doctor were great. Doesn't feel like you're at a dental office at all. My toddler is already asking to go again!

We drive 45-50 min to bring our kids here because the entire staff is AMAZING! As always, we had a great experience today! My 2 year old didn't fuss or cry when the hygienist and the doctor cleaned and checked her teeth! They both were understanding with my scared toddler and got her to open her mouth on her own and actually enjoy the visit. Best Dentist office, hands down!
