The office is very clean and welcoming. The office staff are friendly and easy to reach when I call. Our dental assistants have all been extra nice and engaging. Dr. Joe always does a fantastic job of explaining everything and answering my questions. I have never felt rushed or dismissed and my daughter loves going to the dentist. I recommend SCCDG and Dr. Joe to everyone looking for a dentist for your little one!

They are clean, friendly, fast, and knowledgeable! They give the kids little goodie bags and give lots of encouragement so my son loves going here. This place is amazing. My son fell at school and hurt his front teeth pretty bad. They were on top of it right away, got us in the next day, and reassured this freaked out mama everything would be ok. His teeth healed great and he talks about when the doctor saved his teeth.

My 3 year old was really nervous about visiting the dentist. He didn't really remember his previous visit from 6 months ago. The staff at Santa Cruz Children's Dental was warm and welcoming at reception and all the way throughout the appointment. My son got right into the chair and followed all of their instructions, while watching Spider-Man on the screen in the ceiling. They were also fantastic with my 1 year old.

Dr. Ryan and his assistant were so kind and gentle with my daughter who got a filling this week. It was virtually a pain free experience for her and she came away excited to tell everyone about it. We love Dr. Ryan and his ability to help my children feel at ease and comfortable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for, not just a good, but an excellent dental experience for their child.

My three year just had his first appointment here yesterday. First off, the office is beautiful! Second, the whole staff is wonderful! We had a little setback and were there a little longer than expected. Cheli took the time to explain everything to my son and make him feel very comfortable and relaxed. She was so friendly and down to earth and treated my son so well. Dr. Goya was so sweet and patient and made sure that all our questions were answered and all was understood. Overall, wonderful experience, no complaints. We are thrilled with our new dentist office! Thank you to the entire staff at the Santa Cruz Children's Dental Group for a great experience and awesome work
