Our daughter loves to go to the dentist and never complains. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The place is very clean and well run. We have always been very happy with the attention and service our daughter has received here. We have recommended this place to many other people.

My son really enjoys coming to this dentist. All the staff have been professional and pleasurable when communicating. I really love the aspect that you can respond to their text reminders if necessary and they will respond back. The office is always very clean and bright.

Its so cute to see littles come in and see their names on the welcome board. Im very glad I found this office and I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to take care their kids oral health.

I had an amazing experience at Tallahassee Pediatric Denistry, from the appointment booking process and throughout my son's appointment. The customer service is 10/10. The office is inviting to children and my son (5 years old) wasn't scared at all during his first visit. I especially appreciated the television screen that featured his choice of anything on Netflix that he was able to enjoy during the appointment. His dental hygienist, Ms.

Halley was absolutely wonderful and explained everything to him before she proceeded. I highly recommend Dr. Shawn and her staff, looking forward to many more visits.

We had a great first dental visit with my very shy 2.5 year old. The dentist and assistant were both friendly and knowledgeable. The dentist was able to look at my girl’s teeth, get them brushed, provide dental education, and answer any questions. My daughter especially liked the cup of dental goodies at the end. The office was very clean as well. Would highly recommend.
