Review

The Children's Hospital Dental Center is a fantastic choice for parents looking for a pediatric dental clinic. The staff is amazing, and they're all incredibly patient with the kids. The clinic is clean and well-kept, and the equipment is state of the art. I appreciate that the dentist takes the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I understand what needs to be done and why. Overall, a great experience for both kids and parents. Highly recommend!
