They were so great. Kiera (hopefully i spelled that right!) was wonderful with my 7 year old daughter. She has sensory issues with certain things and they were so patient and kind and sweet with her. And not just Kieran, but everyone from checkin to checkout was wonderful. We will be going back and definitely recommend to others, especially if you have really sensitive littles that need just an extra but of patience! Thanks so much!
We had an emergency dental situation and as new patients, I was thrilled with how quickly the office got us in for a consultation. My daughter was nervous but the dental assistant was so nice and relatable and made my 9 year old daughter feel comfortable and at ease, singing Encanto songs with her. When we came back for her procedure, Dr Francois was great!!!
My daughter had her very 1st dental appointment today and I was really nervous. All my butterflies were put to rest immediately, the staff is wonderful. They let my baby be her normal busy self until it was time for cleaning. The dentist assistant turned on Moana for her and spoke calmly to her while she explained everything she was going to do before proceeding...
We love Dr. Francois and Pediatric Smiles. The entire team is friendly and professional. It's easy to get appointments scheduled and the office is almost always running right on time. My son was afraid of the dentist and we had two unsuccessful appointments at other dentists before coming to Pediatric Smiles. They explained everything that was going to happen and made my son feel comfortable. Now he loves going to the dentist!
Showed up two weeks early for an appointment and they worked us in to save us a drive! They tirelessly worked with me to get my insurance issues worked out. Addie and B were amazing with my girls and made them feel so at ease which is a blessing at the dentist. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend bringing your kiddos here.
Ensure your kids want to go to the dentist until they’re 99 years old.
