The office was fun and nicely designed. It made an appealing environment for kids. I look forward to bringing my daughter back. I do hope they update their Check-In forms because it was annoying to have to fill everything out again.

My son and I had an amazing first visit with Dr. Loren at Chelsea Pediatric Dentistry. From the moment we walked through the front door the staff received us with a friendly greeting and proceeded to check us in for the appointment. Dr. Loren's bedside manner was impeccable! She answered all of my questions and I didn't feel rushed out of her office. She was able to thoroughly explain what was happened with my son and eased ALL of my concerns. The Team at Chelsea Pediatric Dentistry are all WINNING!! Thank you for your commitment to giving stellar customer service!

Dr.Buonocore takes time to explain and reexplain if needed. She feels like a family member with the best interest of my child's teeth in mind. I am glad to have found her!

Dr. Buonocore & her team were amazing w/ my 3-yr. old for her first visit. They made it so much fun for her, that she has even asked me when she can go back! They were also astounding & very patient with managing my 5-yr. old who is autistic. Dr. Buonocore even suggested bringing him by whenever we are in the neighborhood just to play in their waiting room so that he would be more familiar with them & less anxious during his next visit. I will definitely be bringing my kids back again & again. Great team!

Went through everything with ease. Since it is a small practice, you get a better one on one experience which I love. Very personable, and the office has a corner just for the kids.

Please do yourself a favor and bring your children to Dr. Loren at Chelsea Pediatric Dentistry. She is absolutely fabulous with children and so kind and compassionate. She gave my nervous little girl all the time she needed to get comfortable with procedures. The office is really beautiful. The staff was very friendly. Easy to get an appointment on Saturday. Kayley can't wait for her next check up.
