Smile Stars Pediatric Dentistry: Ripple Steven DDS

Decent place. more

I have been taking my son here since he was 3 years old. His pediatrician actually recommended and also takes his own children to smile stars. It is true that you cannot accompany your kids to the back but if it is your childs first visit. The staff will give you a walk through/tour. They explain all that is going to happen and make sure that you are comfortable and they explain why the parents wait in the front. There are a few exams going on at once and the kids are comfortable because they see that the other kids are okay. Even more so, after my sons first visit they took his picture to give us a keepsake and gave him a little basketball. His dentist was wonderful and always talks to me and answers my questions. Since the very first visit I have always talked to my son after his appointments because he always seems to have had a blast and even asks me about how long before his next appt. He always reports to me very normal info. and what one would expect to occur at the dentist. He is 6 now and has a routine when he goes to the dentist. I love smile stars & I am very happy with the dentistry and their philosophy of care. more

I took my 4-yr old to Smile Stars (over a year ago now). A group came in to his daycare to promote early dental visits. When we got there I was suprised to find I could not accompany my son into the back area. The receptionists were adamant I could NOT go in even after I asked numerous times. I was furious. My son later told me they had given him a pill which he later described as multi-colored as well as food without my permission, not even knowing if he had any food or medical allergies. Sure, there are toys everywhere including a strange carosel that reminded me of Neverland Ranch. I don't like leaving my child alone for nearly an hour with complete strangers. When I left, we received ""Jesus Loves You"" balloons. I ask myself why I even went to a pediatric dentist. The whole place seemed off to me. Note, these are the same folks who don't let you accompany your child into the day camps at eXerfit. more

Make sure to check the work before you leave they did the wrong filling on my kid and then said no they didnt. receptionist on the phone was super rude so i am finding a new one. more
