Dr. Jen is truly amazing! My daughter had a dental emergency while she was on vacation and Dr. Jen called us back to tell me what needed to be done. She truly cares for her patients! The office staff is also wonderful! Everyone really cares about making the visits less stressful for the parents and easy for the kids. My son loves going to the dentist because they are so good at calming him down and even distracting him with toys and goodies.

My son 3.5 years old had his first appointment. This place is absolutely amazing the kindness and care for not just the child but for the parent is unmatched! My son loved his experience with the staff and felt so comfortable he said the therapy dog Balto could go help other kids because he didn't need him in that moment. The appointment was on time and ran smoothly.
My son got so much swag it was insane and a great experience, he is asking when it's time to go back! The facility was so clean and had so much for kids to do while waiting (a projector in a partially separate space that has games on the floor to allow little ones to get up and move. Woodland themed office and rooms, TVs above the dental chairs for the kids the list could go on) Starting young with great experiences and care for dental is so important. Highly recommend!

My family of 3 boys have been going to Brecksville Kids Dentistry since Dr. Sarah Davis was there, many years ago. It was the only dentist they'd ever known. Since changing hands to Dr. Hechko the office has grown so much. Great for business, but not for patients when you can't get a convenient appointment! Super disappointing :( Most recently in February it was recommended by our orthodontist that my son have a frenectomy.
The same day this was suggested I went right to the dentist office to schedule an appointment, and ask them to send the claim to our insurance. It was my understanding that this is a procedure insurance may or may not cover, but regardless the appointment was scheduled almost 1 1/5 month out in hopes that we would hear back from insurance. The day of the appointment my husband took off of work, picked my son up early from school, only to get to Brecksville Kids Dentistry to be told, "oh insurance does cover this, we will need $550 right now before we do it!" Thank Goodness my husband called me, we opted not to do it, plus, we didn't even hear back from the insurance company yet.
While my husband was in the office I did speak to the office manager, Courtney and when I asked why this was not communicated to us PRIOR to the appointment, I got a complete run around, explaining the same thing over and over again that insurance didn't respond yet. But never an answer to why we were not told this prior to the appointment. Completely blindsided with no regard whatsoever to the inconvenience of an appointment and day out of work and school for absolutely NOTHING:( I have opted not to return to Brecksville Kids Dentistry for my children's dental care.
I was not upset about the cost of the procedure, but feel very strongly that communication is key and this could have been avoided if Courtney would have stopped talking and listened. Dr. Hechko couldn't care less, I'm not sure she's even aware of what's going on at the front desk as we have never received a call from her for her office managers mistake.
We have since moved on. If you are planning to visit Brecksville Kids Dentistry and before you pay out of pocket, make sure you get a second opinion and price things out! That $550 frenectomy, cost us $250, and it looks beautiful :)

My 9 year old daughter absolutely adores Brecksville Kids Dentistry! They did such an amazing and painless job of extracting her tooth. The combination of the therapy dog, Balto, and the kind staff really made it a wonderful experience for her. She is no longer afraid of going to the dentist. Thank you Brecksville Kids Dentistry and Balto!

I am so glad our Pediatrician recommended this dental office for our daughter. We just had our 3rd visit and I wish I was a kid again! They really know how to talk to the kids in a fun way that makes them feel at ease. Plus, my daughter loves the little extras that are provided. She is empowered and encouraged to take of her her teeth, all in a positive light. She smiles so much here, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!

We love Brecksville kids dentistry. We switched to them a few years back after my oldest had a very terrible experience at a previous pediatric dentist office. She came in very apprehensive, but the staff here is amazing and truly took her fears away! The office itself is so cute and inviting the kids get excited to come which is a relief to me! Balto the therapy dog is a extra bonus too!
Can't say enough good things about them they take great care of our kids. The youngest goes for his very first appt soon and I'm sure he will have a great experience just like his sisters!

Customer service is beyond poor. Have called for 2 months to schedule an appointment and never get anyone on the line and never had any of my voicemails returned. North Royalton Pediatric Dentistry has been recommended, and they were fabulous. Answered my first call and got my children scheduled right away.

All 3 of my grandsons have been with BKD for over 3 years now. They are ages 8, 5 and 4 right now! They get excited when I say we are going! They absolutely love the staff and especially the therapy dog! Best option for nervous children. I have always been able to make appointments with ease and the staff understands the needs to each of my grandsons! The office and exam areas are always clean and inviting. Thinking of a new or first-time dentist.make an appointment today!

Amazing dentist and staff. Everyone is always so friendly and they are so good with all of our kiddos. After a bad experience with one of our kids at another dentist they went above and beyond to try and make our son as comfortable as possible with the help of Balto! I would recommend Brecksville Kids to anyone!

I have never been to a doctor or a dentist office that was so amazing as Brecksville kids dentistry. It was my daughters first time at the dentist and I am still Blown away how amazing they were. She was so scared and they made her and me feel so comfortable and Balto really helped as well! Will recommend to everyone I talk to!
