IVIS ALVAREZ, DMD - SAFARI OF SMILES REVIEWS
Dr. Alvarez and her staff are amazing! My 2.5YO had his second appointment and they cleaned his teeth for the first time. She has a way of working with the little ones to make them feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She shows them her tools as she uses them and explains what she is doing (and takes time to answer all of mom's questions)...it was a great experience for him and me! And her office is so fun! Can't recommend Safari of Smiles enough!
Amazing experience. Dr. Alvarez was amazing with my son. he is 3 and walked out saying that he wants to be a dentist. She got him very comfortable very quickly and even though we were having difficulty brushing his teeth at home, she was able to do a full cleaning and exam in her office, as well as give us helpful pointers to make bushing his teeth more fun. Cannot say enough good things about this 1st rate patient experience.
I can’t thank Dr. Alvarez enough for being an amazing Dentist! She is the GOLD standard that ALL dentists should adhere to. She will take time with your child and not force things. Honestly, I’ve never met a doctor more passionate about kids. My son left the office talking about becoming a dentist too. Dr. Alvarez, thank you so much for your compassion and for your friendly staff!

JILA MAHAJAN, DDS - KIDS FIRST DENTISTRY REVIEWS
One of the best experiences ever. The staff is so professional and friendly. I could not ask for better treatment. They were so good to my little one. Made us feel comfortable the entire time. I also was given options to choose the best treatment for my daughter. Very clean and beautiful environment. Dr. Mahajan is outstanding. She makes sure you are comfortable with everything. She has a nurse that has been by her side for 14 years. She was outstanding with how she handled my little one. Filled with kindness. Love love loves this office. If you are looking for a dentist for your little guys, look no further. You will be so pleased. We will be patient with Dr. Mahajan for good.
My daughter, who is on the spectrum, refused to have dental work done. We visited 5+ other dentists with no progress and most unwilling to help. Our first visit to Kids 1st went great, but once, I'm so impressed! This was our first visit to Kids Dentistry and my son's first visit to the dentist EVER! They were incredibly professional and welcoming. The office was clean and catered to kids. We had no wait time for our visit. Amber, our dental hygienist, was so informative, patient, and kind. She gave great at-home tips. And allowed my son to take a break when he needed it and empathized with him when he wanted to quit. Dr. M was only in for a short visit but was also professional and kind; she had a good bedside manner.
The staff is polite and courteous. We never have issues getting appointments or with long in-office wait times. Dr. M is the best! She always listens and addresses our concerns and can see things coming years down the line. Great at setting expectations. We're very happy with her practice.

LAIS DALMAGRO PERUCHI, DDS - RIVER CITY PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY REVIEWS
Everyone involved in my 3 yr olds procedure for her sedation work, was phenomenal! From her consultation all the way through her waking up after her procedure everyone was great! 10 out of 10 I will recommend and will be bringing my other children. This office has touched our lives in ways they can probably never understand. The dentist saw the need for our family and wasn't worried about $ first, she cared that my little one was in pain and she did what needed to be done to help her, and I will forever be grateful to her and all of the staff here.
BEST Pediatric Dentist Around! We went unexpectedly for our first visits this past week and they did not disappoint! I went to this same dentist as a child seeing Dr. S. I’m thankful I can now bring my own babies here even if it’s with a new doctor. Dr. Lais is FANTASTIC in every sense of the word, same with all of her staff!
Dr. Lais and her team are great! They are very friendly and patient with the little ones. My son used to get very nervous about going to the dentist, but he feels very comfortable at this office. This office is the perfect place to bring your children to their dentist appointment!
