what patients are saying

We always have a good experience. The service is quick but thorough. We are always pleased with our experience, and that is so important as a parent: that my kids don’t dread coming to the dentist. — MH
We’ve been coming here for ten years and would never consider another pediatric dental office. The dental assistants are so in tune with children and know how to make them comfortable, from their first visit through adolescence. Dr. Stephens is professional, kind, and thorough. — MK
Our kids love Dr. Stephens and the amazing hygiene staff. They are super kid-friendly and know just how to put the most nervous kid at ease and make their experience a positive one. — AN
We’ve been coming to this dental office for 16 years and it’s been a great experience for all of my three kids. They have never been afraid to go to the dentist; in fact, my youngest started at two years old because he wanted to be like his sisters. — KK
Our experience at Dr. Stephens’s practice over the years has been exceptional. The staff has always made my children feel comfortable and safe. Their happy and friendly environment has us always looking forward to our next visit. Thank you over the years for excellent service! — CP
We have been coming to this office for 13 years. The dentist and assistants are so good with kids, making it a ‘fun’ appointment. They are patient, thorough, and never pressure unnecessary dental work. — AT
