Altoona Pediatric Dental is a godsend for parents! My 6-year-old and 3-year-old used to dread dental visits, but now they race to the door. Dr. Miller is incredible with kids—she uses silly voices to explain check-ups, lets them "help" with tools, and has a treasure box that makes even cleanings exciting. The office is bright and playful, with a jungle theme, video games in the waiting area, and TVs on the chairs showing cartoons.

The hygienists are so patient, taking extra time with my shy 3-year-old until she felt comfortable. They send cute reminder texts and make first visits super low-pressure. Finally, a pediatric dentist that makes kids love their smiles!

Absolutely the best Dental provider in the metro. Dr. Zach and Samantha were absolutely amazing. Samantha was very professional, yet friendly and courteous. My daughter Absolutely adores Samantha. My daughter came in for consult. Both Samantha and Dr.

Zach noticed the urgency and was able to take care of my it immediately without having to come back. The facily was very well maintained. The hallways, patient waiting area, bathrooms, and treating rooms were spotless. Clean facility, friendly, super caring, and courteous staff. I highly recommend this Dental provider foe all your familys dental needs.

We absolutely love our visits to Altoona Pediatric Dental! From the moment we walk in, we are greeted by the warm smiles of the staff, who create such a friendly and inviting atmosphere. The entire team is incredibly kind and patient, making sure to address any questions or concerns we might have. They take the time to explain each step of the dental process to my child in a way that's easy to understand, which really helps ease any nerves.

It’s clear that they genuinely care about their young patients. We always leave feeling well taken care of and excited to return!

The Pediatric Dental office was amazing! My son was apprehensive about going to the dentist because of a bad experience elsewhere.. but the next day he told me it was the best Dentist ever! Definitely would recommend. Friendly staff, easy to work with, and very knowledgeable.
