A Dental Home Designed Just for Kids

Overall, we had a great experience. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the staff was professional. Our dental assistant, Pam, was amazing—she was so kind, patient, and friendly with my 2½-year-old son, which made the visit much easier. The doctor was also very professional and took great care of my son. The only negative part of our visit was at check-out. When scheduling my son’s next appointment, I requested an afternoon appointment, as we’ve always done in the past. The receptionist on the second floor told me that, under a new policy, children under 3 cannot be seen in the afternoon because they tend to become more difficult. I explained that I work and morning appointments are not an option for me. Unfortunately, she seemed to respond with a bit of an attitude, which was disappointing. Every child is different. My son is 2½ years old and has always been well-behaved during his dental visits, so I don’t think this policy should automatically apply to every child. I almost decided to look for another dental office that could better accommodate working parents. Aside from that interaction, the rest of the team was wonderful, and we truly appreciated the care my son received.

As a mom of 5 who typically likes to schedule multiple kids at a time for basic appointments I was highly impressed our first visit. Only 4 of the kids had appointments at the time (as our youngest had a single tooth). But we made sure to add him in for the 6 month cleaning follow-up. First appointment was upstairs and split between 3 rooms. It was so nice that everyone was basically seen at the same time! Second appointment was downstairs and it was amazing all 3 chairs were right next to eachother, and again everyone was seen at the same time! The following appointment I was slightly nervous because my mother-in-law came instead of my husband and I wasn't sure if she would be allowed into the rooms or able to talk to anyone if needed. Surprisingly she was not truly needed aside from sitting in the waiting area when the bigger kids were done. That was the appointment my oldest took longer because he was being difficult and whimpering every time the hygienist touched his mouth. Thankfully she was amazing and the following cleaning he had laughing gas to ease the nerves. After that he has been fine with cleanings! My 2nd oldest had a small cavity and the appointment to fill it was a breeze!! I truly cannot say enough good things about the entire staff! My 4th child has severe allergies and they are always cautious (always inform the of nut allergies- apparently there's something with floride 🤷🏼‍♀️). Keep in mind I'm driving from Berkshire County (think Pittsfield/Lee area) simply because that's how much this particular dental practice has made my life easier. Yes it's an hour there and back on the pike- HOWEVER everyone is seen in under an hour, the hygienists are amazing and my kids feel safe and confident so I don't have to be sitting there holding hands and telling themnits ok, AND it's so clean! I totally forgot to mention- bright welcoming rooms, TVs above each chair so they can relax. Plus sunglasses to help them watch while the dentist uses the bright lights to see. And I've seen them clean rooms after each use. It's just the most amazing place. I highly recommend to everyone (and even got a friend to make the trip from Hinsdale with her little one!). I do get asked all of the time "well, isn't that a drive? Can't you find something closer?". I always respond "they're clean, welcoming and my kids are comfortable- I'll take the hour drive every few months as long as my kids are getting taken care of." Trust me, it's so worth it! Especially if you have multiple kids and your husband can't attend every appointment. The ease of taking one day off work and he doesn't have to come so all 5 are done in one shot. Truly the most logical place to bring your child if you want good service where they're genuinely cared for!!

I will always recommend this dentistry! Along with dr Patel, the nurse Sarah, did an absolutely phenomenal job with my autistic 6yr old. They were very patient with her and went at her pace and made her comfortable. She walked in crying she had to be there and left with a big smile on her face. 10/10

This dentist office has proven to us time and time again that they are the best! Recently my son who is 8 had to have sealants put on his back molers and the woman that worked on him was absolutely incredible. I could be wrong but I believe her name was Lorianna. She put him and ease and got him through the procedure quickly and he did awesome because of her skill. She was great with him and I’m so thankful to have people like her that care for the kids!

Every experience we have here is amazing! My son has ASD, and isn’t much of a dentist guy. Meghan was absolutely amazing with him. Being so gentle and making the entire process a joy instead of nightmare. The really know how to make the children feel comfortable and safe. 10 out of 10 would recommend across the board!!

Absolutely. The best my son had a toothache. We called the day before we were in and out in no time, very professional, very clean, very kind treated. My son with utmost dignity and respect made him feel comfortable and unafraid left smiling with new toothbrush recommended this place to any parent for their children.
