My kids love Dr Skip and his team. We just had our first appointment for my daughter and the dental assistant let her be a 'helper' and pretend to assist in paperwork until the dr came in. They were SO attentive to how young and active she was and it wasn't a bother at all. It made her so at ease with the dr when it was time for her exam. My son had his follow up apt and the team makes them laugh and they play games.
The entire environment is friendly and safe and welcoming. It's such a wonderful place to bring the kids. I would absolutely recommend this dentist to anyone looking for that kind and nurturing experience for their children.

My daughter LOVES going to the dentist because of Dr. Steph & Dr. Skip, and the fun environment they have created at Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry. Everything from the separate child sized door for entry into the waiting room, to the treasure chest prize after the visit, creates a positive experience for kids! Highly recommend.

Dr. Skip and Dr. Stephanie are awesome to work with! My children are actually EXCITED to go to the dentist and always leave with a smile. They explain everything so well and work on such a professional level. I would highly recommend them to anyone with children. I wish they worked with adults as well! Thank you Dr. Skip and Dr. Stephanie for everything you do for the community!

We have been a member of this family for many years now! From the time we walk in the door until we leave we feel at home. When Dr. Tyson, Dr. Heaney or Dr. Payne speak with us we feel we are the only patient they have. We have seen several Dental Hygienist and they are all good with him! My son gets excited to go to the dentist, that says a lot about this practice! I am going to miss the day he out grows this office!

Dr. Skip and Dr. Tyson are both amazing. I ended up moving to this dentist after my daughter, (Now 21), had a terrible experience at another office. This was around the time that she was just beginning to visit a dentist office. From the first initial phone call the entire staff was super helpful. They bought the joy back into my little toddler at the time.
She couldn't wait for her visits and even though she's off in college she still wishes she could come back. . When my son came along it was sort of a no brainer where he would go. He to this day loves his visits and is looking forward to maybe checking what that teen room is all about soon. I've never had any issues with this office or staff at all.

I really wish I could give less than one star. I'm beyond upset after getting your letter in the mail today Dr. Stephanie. Are you seriously saying that I'm not allowed at your practice after 30 days? That you wouldn't help my 4 year old if there was an emergency? All because I let your office know, in the kindest way, that I wanted a second option after you gave me a $2,700 estimate plus an additional $5,000-$7,500 in anesthesia charges?
I said so many nice things about your staff and the office and this was only because I don't have $10,000 out of pocket to spend on baby teeth. I get a hateful letter that you are going to refuse to see us? Do you care about children or just the money they bring in? My daughter is my world and she will get the care she needs. You did not need to send me such an awful and hurtful letter. I'm a good mother and the fact that you state that you wouldn't help my daughter if we needed you - shame on you.
