Comprehensive dental care for children and young adults in a "child-friendly" environment. Our philosophy is to provide the same quality of care for each patient as we would to our own children.

Our office, as well as the American Dental Association (ADA), the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. We are pleased that you selected our office and are delighted to welcome you.

Pittsford Pediatric Dentistry is a professional yet children oriented dental office. The staff greet you the moment you open the door. I love the changes they made during COVID. It shows how they can roll with something so serious & keep you comfortable at the same time. The staff there are always jovial and make going to the Dentist NOT a bad thing at all!

My son is five now, has been going here since he was 1. He has some sensory issues and the doctor and staff are wonderful with him. My disgusted had her first appointment at 1 and again absolutely wonderful with her as well. The doctor spent a lot of time with us. We never feel rushed! At the end the kids get to choose a cute prize. The atmosphere is also adorable and decorated with an under the sea theme.

This was my son's 1st experience at the dentist. I talked him up to be super excited about going & he really was looking forward to it! We were not even greeted at the door with even a simple "Good Morning", it was very cold and unfriendly. Working in a child specific profession, I expected more. The dentist himself seemed very Nice, but seemed frazzled and stated he was under staffed for the day.
When my son started crying because he was gagging from the brushing, the remainder felt rushed to finish up including putting fluoride on his teeth which didn't seem critical or even something I could have been given to put on when we got home once he calmed down. They may do a nicer job for older children, but certainly not for a 1st experience. We will not be returning.

Just had my 3-year old's first cleaning and I was appalled by the dentist's attitude and behavior. My kiddo was nervous and threw up after the teeth cleaning. I would expect a pediatric dentist would be patient and kind as my kiddo tried to settle down. Then while i tried to help soothe my child, the dentist basically told me to stop talking, and rushed to pry her mouth open to count her teeth.
I was so upset I refused the fluoride treatment and was then scolded for not bringing my kiddo in for a morning appointment. I will not return and highly recommend that other parents look elsewhere. there is just no need to talk down to parents and rush an upset child. I would gladly stop an appointment and pay for another follow up visit than have my kiddo treated this way!

Dr. Kochman is an amazing dentist for children! He is funny, very knowledgeable, proactive, professional, caring, and he treats his patients like he would want his own children to be treated! One of our sons had a difficult time with his early dental experiences, and when we came to Dr. Kochman he used his knowledge in child psychology to help him relax and cooperate.
We appreciate his early advice to see an orthodontist to correct some cross-bite and other issues at an age-appropriate, but early time which lessens the length of time needed for braces. Dr. Kochman is always thorough, clear, and a pleasure to work with! His staff are so friendly, helpful, and courteous, we cannot say enough good things about them! We are truly grateful to have found such an amazing pediatric dentist!

I was nervous about taking my two year old to the dentist and how she would react. Dr. Kochman and his team were very good with her and she absolutely loved it there! On Tuesdays and Thursdays they have therapy dogs for the children and my daughter loved seeing them. She even was able to have one of the dogs come in the backroom with her. As we were walking out to leave she goes "I want to go back" For a two year old to say that about a dentist to me was AMAZING. I would reccomend this place to anyone who has children. Everything was perfect.

Great approach to toddlers! Dr. Kochman definitely superseded my experiences with other pediatric dentist in Rochester area. My child is 4yo and he was so happy, smiling and cooperating with all staff members. Office is very friendly, understanding and caring! We found our Pediatric Dentist finally!

We have been very pleased with the care received at pittsford pediatric dentistry! They go above and beyond to cater to kids and their needs. Dr Kochman is patient, straightforward and honest - and he's quick and efficient! His support staff is also awesome, especially Mary, who entertained my 5 year old with train talk to ease his anxiety. You can tell this office has been doing this forever and they have it down to a science! Glad we found them.

After having bad experiences at 2 other pediatric dentist offices for my children I found Pittsford Pediatric Dentistry online. This place is the best dentist office I have ever been to. I have a child with some decay in the back of her mouth and even after brushing well 2 times a day and flossing every day she still has some decay in her baby teeth. Getting a cavity filled at this office is a breeze, they are honest with the patient, kind, gentle and caring.
I would recommend this dentist office to anyone with children. They make regular visits fun with pictures and gifts and the whole office is friendly. My children love this office. They don't use the word shot to scare the kids either. Job well done to this office! Thank you for treating my child like a human and caring about her feelings.
