WHY US
Why a pediatric dentist?
Pediatric dentists complete two or three years of additional specialized training (after the required four years of dental school), which includes study in child psychology, growth, and development. We are also trained and qualified to care for patients with medical, physical, and mental disabilities.
OUR GOAL
We strive to provide an engaging environment in which your child can develop a positive attitude toward dentistry and keep a happy smile. Our team focuses on “coaching” patients and their parents for a lifetime of good oral hygiene and dental health. All education and treatment is provided in a positive and fun environment.
Thank you for visiting our website!
OFFICE TOUR
REVIEWS
My son is afraid of the dentist and has very bad gag reflexes. I have been through quite a few dentists. The nurses and dentist were thorough and patient with him the whole time.
As recent as yesterday, I have only had positive and compassionate care given to my daughter. Interactions from calls, to front desk, to hygienists, to the provider they have ALL been warm, caring, compassionate, and most importantly to me respectful of concerns. Dr. M is clearly experienced and loves his work. He identified concerns I had regarding my daughter without me mentioning them. These are issues a previous provider missed and or caused. We all choose providers based on referrals, blindly, or feelings. I am so glad we chose to become a part of this practice. In transparency I don't always feel welcome as a black consumer everywhere so when I find a place that hears me and values not only the $, but also makes my child feel valued it is invaluable to me. Definitely check them out.
My daughter has been here twice (2.5 years old, 3.5 years old) and I am extremely impressed at how well the visits have gone. Amanda is an amazing person and is so good at what she does. My 3 year old couldn’t wait to go back to see her today! On both visits with Amanda, she made my daughter feel safe and explained everything she was doing. Showed her the tools before trying them, was patient and kind, and even pretended to clean the teeth on my daughter’s stuffed animals (on both visits with her!!). Amanda is truly a gem and my daughter LOVES going to see her. Amanda and Dr. Amith took the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions. Thank you, Amanda and Dr. Amith! You’re the absolute BEST!
This practice is exceptional! Dr. Amith is so in tune with kids and their needs, and goes the extra mile to make them feel comfortable and heard. He is truly a joy to interact with and it’s so obvious how much he loves kids. His staff are also just as attentive, detail-oriented, fun, and friendly as he is. We have one kiddo who has quite a bit of anxiety visiting the dentist, and everyone from reception to Dr. Amith are aware when we arrive, and they have clearly reviewed his chart and prepared for his arrival. They take every step possible to make him feel comfortable, distracted, and happy, and we’re always in and out as quickly as possible. They truly make going to the dentist fun for both of our kids—videos, the office theme, fun staff, and prizes at the end. This place is fantastic!
My children have been going to this office for many, many years. Top notch service provided by the staff and especially Dr Majumdar. He is gentle, he makes it less scary for the kids and just a perfect fit for our family. My children have never been afraid when I tell them it’s time for the dentist. Dr Majumdar bedside manner is impeccable and makes it an enjoyable experience. Thank you for all you do, giving children a safe space when needing to care for their dental health. 10 stars!
