My 1.5 month baby got his tongue tie and lip tie released. Dr. Eilish did such a good job informing us, walking us through the process, and easing the stress. Absolutely will keep coming here for all dental needs.The best kids dentist ever! Dr. Eilish is super friendly and informative, and the hygienist is too! All the staff are welcoming, and took the time to explain everything in detail to make sure my son was comfortable. I cannot recommend them enough!

Happy Parent

My boy loves this office. The atmosphere is always inviting, friendly, and clean! The setup is sensory friendly for the little ones. I absolutely love it. Dr. Christie does an amazing job with my boy. I honestly don't have one bad thing to say about them, which is rare. Highly recommend!

Happy Parent

This was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist office! Dr. Christie and her team were absolutely amazing when it came to working with my 2 yr old! They were patient, kind, addressed all my concerns, and most importantly…… the were excellent when it came to working with Blake. I wasn’t sure she would cooperate with them but she did! It was definitely worth the 30 min drive to visit them. I wish they saw adults as well. Thank you to everyone from the receptionists to the hygienist to the dentist. I truly appreciate you all!

Happy Parent

My 4.5 year old had a dental accident over the weekend and the team was able to get him in first thing Monday. All the staff were kind and my anxious little guy was so comfortable. Dr Christy listened to all my concerns and explained everything in detail. We will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone!
