My two kids have consistently had very positive experiences with Dr. Stephens and the dental hygienists. They are positive, gentle, patient, and low key. It is a very child-friendly place. They love playing in the waiting area.
My family has been coming to this office since all my children were little. The care is outstanding and the staff treats you like you’re part of a much larger family.
We have been coming here for years. Since the beginning of the practice, we have always had a great experience, friendly staff, and friendly dentists.
We always have a good experience. The service is quick but thorough. We are always pleased with our experience, and that is so important as a parent: that my kids don’t dread coming to the dentist.
We’ve been coming here for ten years and would never consider another pediatric dental office. The dental assistants are so in tune with children and know how to make them comfortable, from their first visit through adolescence. Dr. Stephens is professional, kind, and thorough.
The whole staff is friendly and keeps my boys at ease. They are thorough with their dental treatment and education of the importance of good oral hygiene.
Our kids love Dr. Stephens and the amazing hygiene staff. They are super kid-friendly and know just how to put the most nervous kid at ease and make their experience a positive one.
Lauren and Patrick have been coming here ever since they were really young. Our whole family is always greeted with a warm welcome by everyone working in the office. The kids are respected and treated with great care. We have never had a bad experience and the kids never argue about their visits. We are very fortunate to have this practice in our community.
We’ve been coming to this dental office for 16 years and it’s been a great experience for all of my three kids. They have never been afraid to go to the dentist; in fact, my youngest started at two years old because he wanted to be like his sisters.
Our experience at Dr. Stephens’s practice over the years has been exceptional. The staff has always made my children feel comfortable and safe. Their happy and friendly environment has us always looking forward to our next visit. Thank you over the years for excellent service!
We have been coming to this office for 13 years. The dentist and assistants are so good with kids, making it a ‘fun’ appointment. They are patient, thorough, and never pressure unnecessary dental work.
