Editorial review from BirdEye 5/4/2016

It was great! We were called back before our scheduled appointment time. The dentists and assistants were all very friendly and informative. I was exceptionally impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the front office staff as well. Check in/out was a very pleasant experience. (Especially Stephanie) more

Happy New Patients 1/19/2011

I have been taking my kids to another dentist up until today. What a difference! Knoxville Pediatric Dentistry was wonderful! Everyone was pleasant, and the atmosphere was great. Despite having never been there, my children were immediately at ease. After two years with the other dentist, I still had never met the man. Never even talked to him on the phone. Dr. French personally looked at both of my children's x-rays and made himself available to answer any questions I might have had. The assistants are excellent, as well. My kids spoke glowingly of them after their appointment. I am so pleased that I chose Knoxville Pediatric Dentistry for my children. \r \r I also witnessed parents being allowed to sit on the table and hold their young children during their teeth cleanings. What a comforting thing to offer a scared, young child! A+ to the staff for realizing that some kids might need a bit of extra consideration to feel comfortable! more

bad scheduling 9/16/2010

We have been going to Dr. Townsend for about 4 years now, and we usually have nothing but great things to say about our visits. However, this last time was less than great. Dr. Townsend and his crew are wonderful, and the service and attention provided to my daughter were amazing, as usual, but it was the scheduling that upsets me. My daughter came in for a cleanning in March, and I was told she had a cavity. Long story short, after losing and regaining dental insurance, I called the first part of september to get an appointment to get her tooth fixed. The office staff was very polite, and I explained exactly what i was needing (my daughter's tooth fixed). I got an appointment within 2 weeks. I take a 1/2 day off from work, keep my daughter out of school, and get to the office, and get her cleanning. No cavity fill. Dr. Townsend tells me she has a cavity (which is why i originally came), and told me I need to come back to get it filled. When I get to the front to make the appo more

Wonderful environment 7/22/2010

The most amazing, caring staff, Dr. Bo Townsend is wonderful with my son, and his staff is as well. Extremely clean, a bright and friendly environment, not at all what you'd expect from a dentist's office. Completely kid-centered, there is nowhere else I would want my child to go!\r \r In response to the review below: My child has been going to KPD for five years and has never had so much as a cleaning without first doing an x-ray, so I'm not buying that. I have also never heard Dr. Bo talk to a child in a belittling way. I have heard him instruct them not to kick or bite him, which I find perfectly reasonable. more

The K. Family loves Dr. Bo Townsend 5/29/2009

After being a wife and survivor of physical, mental and verbal abuse from a marriage that brought fourth four of the most beautiful children in the world, I was apprehensive of seeing a male dentist my insurance and many other parents recommended Dr. Bo Townsend to me for my four children two of which were born premature and the other two being extremely shy and fearing dentists after seeing a dentist that Dr. Bo used to work with years ago, my children's ages are 12, 11, and then the two 7 year old twins, anyway upon our arrival to his office several years ago we were treated with the utmost respect, care and kindness. Dr. Bo and his staff was completely professional and very gentle with my children even though they knew nothing of my children or my life and the pain we have undergone over the years. As of today, I can tell you that my children still love Dr. Bo and his entire staff, they have been seeing him since my oldest was 5 or 6 and he is 12 now, and to my dismay the only disap more

Wondferul lady on the phone! 3/12/2009

I just moved here from South Carolina with my husband and our 3 boys. I just called to make an appointment with Dr. Bo because of a great referral and what I had ready here on line! When the receptionist answered she had told me that Dr. Bo only sees children usually under age 6 as new patients. When I told her that my 11 yr old son had PDDNOS and Epilepsy she said that she would be happy to book them with Dr. Bo in that case. She not only booked both my boys with him she was very nice and understanding of my fears. Our appointment is in April I will be happy to write about my experience after that time. Until then thanks you to the receptionist that took my call today! more

Awesome Dentist & Staff 12/10/2008

We are recently new patients with Dr. Bo. We met Dr. Bo "unfortunately" through an accident that my 7-year old son had in October. He was called in to take care of my child who had knocked his front permanently teeth loose (one hanging only by a thread). He happened to be the pediatric dentist on-call for emergency. Sometimes there is a silver lining where you least expect it. I have searched for pediatric dentists all over Knoxville and was not satisfied with any of them. I finally found a dentist (not pediatric) to care for my children's dental health. After this accident and all of Dr. Bo's genuine caring for my child; my child will remain with Dr. Bo. His staff is always upbeat and friendly. Due to Dr. Bo's hard work and care; my child will most likely keep his front permanent teeth. THANK YOU Dr. Bo! more

What an incredible place! 6/17/2008

Wow! Our daughter had her first dental visit last week. We chose Dr. Bo based upon referral and reviews of him and his facility and staff. We could have never been more pleased! The staff was wonderful, the office was very clean and pretty and Dr. Bo and the hygienist were fantastic with our daughter, Natalie. If you are looking for a great dentist and a caring staff for your child, please consider this practice. more

PERFECT! 5/9/2008

I don't know why such people would try to bring a business such as yours down. I have always had a great experience bringing in my son. Caring staff makes a big difference! I haven't taken my son anywhere but my dentist whom recommended Dr. Bo. They met my expectation each time and were very consistant, which meant I could expect the same quality each and every visit. I do not have insurance and they treated me the same as if I did have insurance. That shouldn't scare you from making an appointment with this professional place!! I would highly recommend them 110%!! Make an appointment TODAY! more

Dr Bo is the shiznit 12/31/2007

I would just like to say that Dr Bo and his staff are awesome. The office is always clean and organized when I go in there. They have several Flat screen TVs for the kids to watch Disney movies in the waiting room and while they are having their teeth being cleaned.As for his staff, he has excellent receptionists as well as a bunch of wonderful women working with him. With other offices that I have been to, everyone was all grumpy and really didn't seem like they wanted to be there. That is not the case with Dr. Bo's team. more

Highly Recommend Dr. Bo 12/4/2007

Since the visit below, I have been with Dr. Bo for 3 years. My daughter has never been apprehensive and we have had to have 2 teeth removed since this due to her baby teeth not giving way for her permenant teeth to come in and it was causing headaches. They have since moved, the staff is stayed relatively the same. They are always extremely polite, they contact me prior to every visit to ensure we haven't forgotten. My daughters comfort is my number one priority. She has had a tough beginning. Dr. Bo is always genuine, kind and has a manner about him that is soothing to children. Again I recommend him highly.\r \r PREVIOUS COMMENT - FIRST VISIT\r I was apprehensive as a Tenncare patient my child would not be treated fairly and I met with a wonderful and caring staff and dentist. \r \r I will highly recommend Dr. "Bo" Townsend to anyone. My daughter office visit indicated that she would need to have that front left tooth removed and it was my luck that a cancellation was made giving me more

We love Dr. Bo 10/29/2007

My daughter, Jayda, is 6 yrs old and has sensory problems along with Epilepsy. I was concerned when trying to find a dentist that would understand about her "special" needs. Dr. Bo seems to really care about the kids he sees and is patient with my daughter. She listens to him and says she likes him, and that's important to me. I highly recommend taking your child to Dr. Bo, he's a Christian man and he has a sweet bunch of ladies working for him!! more
