Extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and great with my 4 year old. I also want to take the time to thank Alexa for making Will feel so comfortable, your patience and kindness is amazing! Also want to thank Lynnette for helping me understand my husband "s dental coverage, if it weren't for her I would not have been able to bring my son as a new patient. Lynette, thanks for all the extra phone calls to our insurance company, in order to make sure I understood everything. They are blessed to have you??

It was wonderful. I didn’t think my daughter would allow Dr. Alarcon to brush her teeth or anything but she did. Dr. Alarcon knew exactly what to do and was veryyyyy friendly.

Easy. Convenient. Staff so friendly & personable. Doctor is amazingly sweet and great w/ the boys. My boys have always raved about her. And sad that they are aging out of pediatric dentistry. Highly recommend!
More than 1 year agoNJ
The doctor and staff are very nice and respectful. Dr. Alarcon takes her time to explain your X-rays, exam and how well you are or show you how to brush twice a day. My son loves coming to the dentist every 6 months.
