Always have a great experience here. We have a special needs son and any type of docter visits are hard and a cause of high anxiety for him. Dr Waddell and her staff have done so well with him that going to the dentist is a pretty easy visit for our son now.

Dr. Lauren is a terrific pediatric dentist: competent, warm, and a great communicator. She always listens to both kids and parents, and is willing to go an extra mile to ensure her young patients’ wellbeing. My daughter has been seeing her for five years, and we plan to remain at her practice until it’s time to move on to an adult dentist.

Everyone in the office is amazing! They understand how to interact with kiddos and it makes trips to the dentist fun rather than something parents dread!
