GREG WOLKSTEIN, DDS - DRS. PHILIP WOLKSTEIN & GREG WOLKSTEIN REVIEWS
We recently had our first visit with Dr. Wolkstein and we couldn’t be happier. Dr. Greg was fantastic with my very apprehensive son. As well, Sandi, our Hygienist was very patient with him. She gave him options to choose from to make sure he felt comfortable with what was happening, which we really appreciated. Plus the front office staff is friendly and inviting, so the practice as a whole is perfect! A+... We do have to go back for a follow-up appointment which my son is now excited to go to! :o)
I came here as a kid now my daughter does, I think the fish are still the same, and what’s not to like about a silly mirror! Ok teeth, Greg and family do a great job caring for our kid's teeth. Screens for kids to watch while getting teeth cleaned, everyone is happy. Bike parking inside is a plus! We have great care and understanding of how to help our kids take care of their mouths.
My five-year-old daughter loves coming to her checkups and getting her teeth cleaned. Knowing she will get a toy at the end of her appt. I have known Dr. Wolkstein for many years, as my sister was a patient of his when she was younger and the Dr. I used to work for Dr. Low would get his referrals from Dr. Wolkstein. Both doctors are very knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. The staff is also great and friendly. I would definitely refer both Drs.

JOSEPH D FRIDGEN, DDS - DESTINATION SMILES-PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY AND ORTHODONTICS REVIEWS
I wrote about Dr. Fridgen before but just had another great visit and had to write again!! If you have been looking for a great pediatric dental office--This is your place!!! No need to keep looking. I have been coming here since I was 3 years old and it was Dr. Fridgen that helped me overcome my fears of going to the dentist. Basically, I have the world's smallest mouth and I didn’t want anybody working on my mouth when I was younger. Dr. Fridgen and the other Docs showed me that going to the dentist can be fun and gave me all the TLC I needed at such a young age to overcome my fear. Everybody was understanding, empathetic, and patient with me. They were even able to do a couple of fillings on me when I was only 3 years old!!! Fast forward to today and I still love coming in for my checkups--even as a teenager. The dental assistants really love their job and make it so fun for the little ones. Lida is one of the recent ones I’ve had and she was able to get my teeth sparkling clean and even coached me on where I was missing in cleaning my teeth. They show all the younger kids all of the instruments they use too and walk them through every step of the way. I always see kids giggling while they get their teeth cleaned because they are having such a good time. My little sister loves being able to pick her own movie even though she watches Frozen every time!! I’ll be coming for checkups as long
Dr. Fridgen and his team (specifically, dental hygienist Maria) are super heroes!! My daughter cracked her last baby tooth in half and we went in for an extraction of the remaining tooth. She was a little anxious about it possibly hurting. This would be her first actual dental procedure other than cleaning so a bad experience here could traumatize her for future procedures, I know this because it happened to me as a child. He helped ease her fears by explaining everything to her and making her part of the process. The BEST part was when he told her, "we are going to make your tooth dance and I need your help" He had her place her hand on his, and together they went left, right, left, right, and then forward. The tooth was out and there was no pain... I was in awe of their superpowers!! I highly recommend Dr. Fridgen and his entire team.
We loved our first visit here! My daughter is 2 and can be nervous in new places and she was so comfortable. They had Disney movies playing in the lobby and tons of show/movie options to keep her distracted during the actual cleaning. They put us in a private room for the first visit which I really appreciated, I think it really helped my daughter feel comfortable. The whole appointment was a breeze and the staff and Dr. Fridgen were so nice. Covid wise it felt very safe and I will definitely be bringing my daughter back. She actually smiles when we talk about the dentist now and is more inclined to brush her teeth.

MARILOU NAVARRO, DDS - MARILOU NAVARRO & ASSOCIATES REVIEWS
I don't usually write reviews but in this case, I just wanted to rave about Dr. Navarro and her Team. The office looks amazing and the decor is just wonderful. From walking into the lovely reception area, where there are great toys and games for all ages (including a great train table which my son could have played with all day), to the informative and fun intro and info session to show son and daughter (5 and 7) how to brush and floss correctly. We have been to a couple of other Pediatric Dentists and this Practice is in a league of its own. The office is completely geared towards making children feel comfortable combined with excellent service and professionalism. The treasure chest and cavity club were also big hits. They can't wait to go back!
My daughter has been going to Dr. Navarro's for two years now. She loves going to her dentist. Everyone is so nice. Also found out that they also do braces for kids and adults. I am glad that I found this office. I was able to setup up both braces and checkup appointments for the same day and get everything done in one visit. My only problem is getting my daughter to leave the office after the appointment:-)
My daughters have been patients for over 8 years. The office is clean, well organized, and Dr. Navarro and her associates are so friendly, gentle, and experienced. Thanks for offering such quality service to your patients and their families.
