We love Dr. Peña! It's a shame that he's no longer seeing patients and only doing dental sedations.
Dr Pena was great. Excellent bedside manner and very approachable. Answered all of our question pertaining to our little girl.

Everyone in the office was very helpful. They even take the time out to explain every instrument that is going to be used to the child to create a positive first time experience. My 3 year daughter loved it and she constantly wants to brush. Oh, they get flavor options for fluoride and stickers too ????.

He's a great pediatric dentist. He is very good with my children. He's patient and communicates very well with you. He doesn't rush either. He takes his time and makes sure any questions or concerns are answered and dealt with before leaving

I love this office very nice staff.
Verified patient
Dr. Pena is amazing with kids! The wait is always long, but he is definitely worth it. They went out of their way to accommodate my requests for my child which I GREATLY appreciate. The only complaint that I have about this office is the communication issues. The assistants don't communicate effectively between themselves/other staff as to what needs to be done, so the ball was dropped twice. The other communication issues are that they don't reply to e-mails and they hardly ever answer the phone (very annoying). They never, not even once returned one of my phone calls. Despite the communication issues, I will continue to take my child there because Dr. Pena is that good!
Very nice and clean office.
Verified patient

Verified patient
It was very frustrating that I had to fill out paperwork again, when I am certain I checked in via zoc doc but the receptionist advised they never received the check in information
Great service !! Friendly and helpful staff
Waiting 1:30 hour to be seeing for five minutes by the doctor is unacceptable. If you count the 20 minutes that I got there before my appoitment to fill out the paperwork for new patiens, I had to spend almost 2 hours there. With a toddler. It was awful and I definitely don't plan on coming back there. The service was indeed good and friendly, to be fair, but it is not worth the wait for me.
WE WILL SURELY GO BACK THERE
Verified patient

AWESOME!
Verified patient
Great personality. He really loves kids. He got my two year old to sit quietly and get her teeth cleaned for the first time with no problem.
Excellent service but had to wait too long to get it. It was my first time visiting office so I even brought all my forms filled out for my 3 kids. Don't understand why it took so long, my kids were desperate and upset plus one of their video games systems was broken. A little too much of a wait, they should work on that because it's impatient kids that are on the waiting area, which happens to b a little small.
My son has always been nervous going to the dentist and Dr. Pena and his entire staff has totally changed his outlook. He now loves to go! Dr. Pena is fantastic. He treats his patients as if they were his own children.
