Dr Martinez and his staff are amazing. My 4 year old at the time had 8 cavities. I went to Dr Martinez to confirm and sure enough it was accurate. But his bedside manner and the staff made us feel so much more at ease than the previous place. I was nervous as my son had to undergo sedation for the procedure (we opted for), but he explained all the different approaches we could take.

He even called me the night before and once when he was going on a conference to ensure all my questions were answered. His anesthesiologist is amazing, she comes to his office. Thank you Dr Martinez!!! You and your staff are the best. Love- the Calderons (Liam and Myles)

This office is the real deal!! We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this dental office! From the moment we walked in, the staff was amazing—so friendly, welcoming, and fun. The environment is perfect for kids and made my child feel completely at ease. Dr. Martinez is a true professional.

He took the time to explain every detail of my child’s procedure in a clear and reassuring way, which made a huge difference for both of us. We couldn’t be any happier with the care we received. So grateful to have found our new Pediatric dentist—highly recommend to any parent looking for top-notch care in a warm and positive setting!

We can’t say enough great things about South Miami Pediatric Dental Associates! From the moment we walked in, the care, compassion, and professionalism of the staff stood out. Francis and Roxie were absolutely wonderful—warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful, especially given the short notice of our visit. Dr. Martinez was outstanding. His calm demeanor, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference during what could have been a stressful experience. Our son needed a surgical tooth extraction, and the entire process went smoother than we could have ever hoped.

The attention to detail, the way they explained everything, and the gentle approach they took with our child gave us complete peace of mind. We were referred to this practice, and after our experience, we’ll be referring any family we know. The team is so dedicated to both precision and heartfelt care. Thank you, South Miami Pediatric Dental Associates.
