  • I took my 4 year old son for his first appointment this week and was so impressed by this office His hygienist (I believe Ms. Julie) showed him every single tool before she started anything, and included him in the process from start to finish so he wasn’t scared. Dr. Maher and her staff are amazing, and this place is perfect for kids! I expected his first visit to be horrible, since what kid likes the dentist? But it was amazing, and my son now can’t wait to go back! So happy we found them!!

  • First, I would like to start off by saying they were able to get me in quick in December! This was my daughter’s first dental visit. From check in to check out everything was smooth. My daughter was nervous so of course she was bouncing around everywhere - everyone was extremely patient with her. I thank you all immensely!

  • I took my 2 1/2 year old here for the first time this morning. I was so nervous that my daughter would be scared and wouldn’t cooperate. However, they were AWESOME! They were great with her and she loved it . Hasn’t stopped talking about her clean teeth all day :)

  • My son was blown away as soon as we walked in, he loved all the posters and wall decals and arcade games! The staff were incredibly friendly and were so patient. The hygienist was so great at making him comfortable and at ease to take his X-rays. They even had sunglasses so the exam light wouldn’t bother his eyes! And the doctor was so incredible and thorough showing me his X-rays and giving me tips on flossing! This was supposed to be a specialty visit but my son will be coming here from now on! Amazing office I strongly recommend!
