Fantastic experience! Brought my almost 2yo for her first ever dentist appointment and will be going back. Dr. Kerschner made the appointment a fun experience for my daughter and was patient and playful to make her feel comfortable. They also have a clean, kid friendly waiting area, options to watch child's favorite show during the appointment and fun surprise toy at the end! Highly recommend - have already signed up to go back!
Verified patient
They are trying to hide the fact that our insurance is out of network until I asked for the detail of pricing. The doctor was trying to do as much as possible for my 6 yo daughter to max out the insurance while she only needs one cavity filling. They are definitely overbooked as the doctor was so rushing!
Great experience. Friendly and organized office, followed up to make sure my insurance worked beforehand hand. Pediatric dentist is great with kids- certainly recommend.
office was busy but in control. very good energy. Clean and quite top notch. Just seemed like they have it together. Dr. Kerschner has a great touch with kids. Knows how to engage them, entertain them and most importantly, connect and empathize with them. Was a quick, productive, effective and across all areas positive visit. Highly recommend if you are looking for a pediatric dentist or even a general dentist. I love the area where the clinic is, so thats a ++

It was the first time I took my two year old to the dentist and we where both a bit nervous. The playroom was awesome large and inviting with many interesting toys.
