We have had such a wonderful experience at Lodi Pediatric Dentistry with Dr. Anisha and Dr. Sabine. They are incredibly patient, kind, and truly take the time to make kids feel comfortable. They always explain things clearly and give multiple treatment options when there are decisions to make, which I really appreciate as a parent. One of my kids has very high dental anxiety, and today was her third visit. She came out saying she's not nervous about the dentist anymore, which honestly feels like a huge win for our family. That kind of trust doesn't happen by accident, and it says a lot about how gentle and thoughtful the team is with kids. All four of my children go here, and every single visit has been a positive experience. The staff is friendly, the office runs smoothly, and the doctors are calm, respectful, and great at working with kids of all personalities. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist who is skilled, patient, and genuinely cares about helping kids feel safe and confident at the dentist, I can't recommend Lodi Pediatric Dentistry enough. read more

They are very good with my toddler. Always warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful in putting my kids at ease.

Best children's dentist in Lodi! She is over & beyond caring with children & people in general! My daughter loves her & so do I!

My children are extremely defiant when it comes to bringing them to scheduled appointments of any kind. Even visits to the grocery store can require mental preparation. However, the anxiety of bringing my two children to the dentist (ages 4 &7) was completely cured after my first appointment with Dr. Ranchhod. My children were welcomed by an enthusiastic and harmonious staff who possessed the natural ability to summon and harness complete cooperation from them. I was stunned and in disbelief at how they were able to get my 4 year old to bend to their will during X-rays and cleaning. I have not been the best when it came to their dental care, but Dr. Ranchhod explained the state of their teeth and the steps that needed to be taken, without making me feel like a bad parent. The environment was clean, the staff was all smiles, and even the air smelled great ( like vanilla or something). I will be taking my kids here for as long as I can. Trust me, if you are a Stockton resident, it is so worth the drive! read more

Dr. Anisha and her team is simply the best of the best for children's dental care! She came highly recommended years ago for my first born and she now she's both of my children! My two young children actually look forward to going to the dentist! read more

My son enjoys going to her. She is very honest and her office staff is very professional. Care is great and she gives many options if more is needed. Makes my son feel safe. read more

This practice is one of the best dental facilities that my wife and I have had the pleasure of doing business with. I worked in dentistry for about 3 years and my wife worked in orthodontics for over 10 years so that is saying something. They treat you like friends/family, always take really good care of the kids (they don't mind coming at all), explain everything in easy to understand language and simply create an environment that all dentist should strive to achieve. I was blown away with the newly renovated office. Extremely nice from the design down to the new equipment. read more

This was our first visit with Dr. Anisha, and we absolutely loved it! Dr. Anisha and ALL her staff made my son feel very at ease about his visit. They also explained and showed him what was going to happen at his next appointment at his level of understanding! He loved that they let him touch all the tools and explained what they do. His favorite part was the coin reward at the end of the visit! read more

We are absolutely obsessed with this dental office. The dentists are wonderful with the kids. They are so patient, kind, and gentle. The office staff is incredibly friendly as well. 10/10 recommend. The only place worth taking your kids for their dental needs read more

She knows her stuff. Staff is super nice. No surprises with payment, they are up front, honest, and helpful. Very knowledgable and willing to sit there and explain. Top notch pediatric dentist with tongue tie and lip tie revisions. Found out after the fact in a tongue tie group I am in that she is the top rated one in my area. When we had the procedure done, they were honest, showed me everything, were very quick and respectful of me as the parent. I had some worries and she had me come in on an extra appointment just to ease my mind. Highly recommend her. Choosing my dental insurance company just to keep her as our pediatric dentist. read more

Dr Ranchhod and her crew are the best! They make my son feel right at home and go above and beyond to help him see the value in flossing and brushing. He is so comfortable seeing them and lets them work on his mouth without incident, and this came from going to 2 other dentist offices that made things scary for my son initially. He is so comfortable now as we have been seeing Dr Ranchhod for 2 years now. read more

Best Dentist, EVER! Dr. Ranchhod is my kids dentist for about a year now. She is amazing, her staff is amazing her office is beautiful, I could go on! She was able to help my son with his tongue tie. For 8 years myself and teachers have tried to get doctors to see that his speech issue is partly due to a tongue tie. His first visit with Dr Ranchhod she noticed and by the second visit it was taken care of. 8 yrs of fighting and with her in one visit it was solved. She is so good with my now 6 year old. They never complain about check ups because there is never any pain and the fact that she is so kind and gentle helps a lot. Thank you Dr Ranchhod, Karrie, and the rest of the team. I will surely recommend you and wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

We decided to sedate my 4-year-old daughter for dental treatment. She needed a couple of silver crowns, a baby root canal, and some fillings. From the consultation to the day of treatment, there was a thorough exam of her medical history and what she needed. It was all carefully shown and explained to me by Dr. Anisha. Pre op and post op instructions were repeatedly given to me to ensure I've received it as it was crucial to follow before sedation. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Janice, was very knowledgeable and nice. The gas mask put my daughter to sleep within 10 seconds. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and waited in the waiting room for the remainder of the appointment until she was in recovery. Once in the recovery room, I let her sleep 10 mins longer then we woke her up. She slept on the car ride home and was back to normal the rest of the day at home. We watched movies all day. She was about to drink and eat shortly after we got home. As a mother, I had a pleasant experience. It's not easy to see our little ones get sedated but everyone was very sweet and professional. I highly recommend! My daughter had an amazing experience and did not have to feel any discomfort or pain, no traumatic experience whatsoever! Thank you Dr. Anisha, Dr. Janice, and team! read more

Dr. Huston and Dr. Ranchohod were both amazing with my 2 year old daughter! They were both patient and explained things to her so she wouldn't be startled. She fights me on brushing at home but they were able to scale, polish and even apply fluoride on her with not one complaint or any fuss from her. Their EF2 assistant Mary was great with her she was very gentle and sweet. Their front office also was great. Very friendly and made sure I knew what to expect and what paper work to have filled out before her first appointment to make it a breeze. I would highly recommend this office. Everything went smoothly from the first phone call to the end of her appointment. I didn't ever feel rushed and I felt they spent quality time with my daughter. We are both looking forward to her next appointment. read more

My son is autistic and finding good dental care can be difficult. So many people are unwilling to work with this population at all or want to put them under for relatively minor care. After a long search we found someone who was great. With a recent move I was concerned about finding someone new. I considered driving back to see his old doctor, but Dr. Ranchhod was recommended. I'm so glad I decided to take him to see her. She did an amazing job with him. She's kind, explains everything, and accommodated my anesthesia preferences. She was also very aware and intuitive of his needs. Her entire staff is lovely as well. I can't recommend them enough. read more

We have been coming to Dr. Huston for several years and I still think he's the best pediatric dentist around! Have any questions about kids dentistry he's your man!! His knowledge And patience is amazing!! ... And the office staff is bright and cheerful!! read more

Anisha Ranchhod, DDS MSD - Fun place to "hang out" for your short wait time!! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Lodi, California

My kids LOVE coming here!!! Race each other to the door to see who gets to be first! Dr Huston & the staff here are AWESOME!! I cannot say enough great things about Dr Huston and his staff. They are amazing people! Very courteous, helpful, personable, and fun. My only critique is that they don't take adults. read more

Dr. Huston was recommended to us by our pediatrician (who we love) so we scheduled out first appt. The front office staff is very friendly and sweet to the kids. Our wait time was minimal and those of you with toddlers you understand how important this is. Dr. Huston is very calm even when my son was screaming at the top of his lungs. Dr. Huston just kept singing to him. Great experience! All Parents: I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Huston's practice for your child! read more

We absolutely love this pediatric dentist. She creates an atmosphere in which children feel safe and comfortable no matter what dental work children need done. I cannot express how much we appreciate her turning around a scared child experience into a extremely positive one. Highly recommend Dr Anisha!! read more

My children love to go to the dentist. I didn't think I would ever say that other then joking. Both of my girl ( 4 and 7 ) don't only life seeing Dr Jeff but think it's exciting. In the very encouraging informative environment children and parents are educated on how to best care for children's teeth as they grow. It's so magical how they sing little songs about teeth to my four year old to keep her calm and tell jokes to the seven year old to keep her laughing. I wish I could have had a dentist like this as a child and would never consider any other dentist. As a person who works with hundreds of children on a weekly basis here in Lodi I know that by far Dr Jeff is the best the entire area. read more

Thank you Dr Ranchhod for taking good care of us! She was very caring and thorough with our 3 week old son! He needed to be evaluated for lip/tongue tie and was able to fit him in for the laser procedure soon after. She also is very committed to helping mothers and babies breastfeed and was very knowledgeable in the process. She took time to show us the stretching techniques too and presented us with some natural pain remedies also! The office staff were also very kind and wonderful to work with. If there is anyone who needs breastfeeding help and baby has tongue tie or lip tie she told us she won't turn a mother/baby away. She said she could work out payment plan, etc. read more

I've never felt more comfortable with a Dentist taking care of my daughters! Thank you so much for being so great with the kids! Very professional and great personality. read more

Dr. Ranchhod is SO amazingly good with kids. I wish I had a pediatric dentist as good as her when I was a kid. She has a wonderful way of talking to kids and making them comfortable through difficult procedures. The entire staff is great too. I can not recommend this office enough! read more

Scary dentistry for children. How can a pediatric dentist be so intimidating to children? Papoosing children like it's a psych ward?! I mean does this guy get off on freaking kids out? He's like the scary clown guy when it comes to pediatric dentistry. I was offended by his demeanor when my son had a visit here when he was 5. He threatened the papoose thing because my son moved his arm. Weird-o. Don't call yourself a pediatric dentist if your practices are barbaric. Maybe working with kids was a bad choice for this guy. Go back to college and take some child psychology courses or maybe use positive behavior techniques instead of fear and creepy Freudian tactics. read more

I am changing my rating because Dr. Anisha now owns Dr. Houston's practice. I did not like Dr. Houston, but we LOVE Dr. Anisha! My son has a complicated health history and I am very into supplementing or using natural options (essential oils instead of antibiotics for chronic infections or rogue colds, etc.). Dr Anisha helped me think of new and different ways to treat my son as well as offered to see him early and have only healthy staff see him (he is severely immunocompromised). I met Dr. Anisha at Kid's Care Dental and I will follow her to her own office. I am very pleased that she has decided to stay in Lodi! read more

Lodi's only kids dental care office with a "real" certified specialist! I love Dr. Huston and all his sweet and friendly staff! I highly recommend parents bring their kids here! read more

Never had an issue here as far as the negative reviews sounds like typical helicopter parents who feel dental work should be absolutely pain free and my child is a angel smh nothing but great experience's so far with all three of our daughters read more

From the moment I walked into his very unique office I knew I was someplace special, someplace where kids ( young and old) would be put at ease. The staff was welcoming and enthusiastic. I already knew Dr. Huston's reputation as a dentist was sterling and was impressed that he has lectured colleagues his field . That was all fine and good that he is respected by peers and very bright but how is he with patients? Suffice it to say, he is a people person and has enough of the inner child in him to relate to kids. Without hesitation I five- star Dr. Jeff! read more

I've been coming here since I was 7 years old and the staff members have always been comforting and it's always been a positive environment. Plus you never have to wait for your appointment, if your appointment is at 2:30 they see you as soon as you walk in. I always looked forward coming here growing up. It was also cool to receive stickers and prizes right after they check up on my teeth. I highly recommend. Unfortunately, they they stop seeing you after the age 21. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. My 3 year old is terrified of the dentist but today in office she actually warmed up to Dr. Anisha! She still cried during the cleaning but was so amazed by her stuffed frog with the teeth, she loved cleaning his teeth. She even spoke about it all the way to preschool! Very excited to have her as a pediatric dentist !! Her staff is super sweet too!!! read more

Very good with kids. He is very good at communicating with parents and the orthodontist. Very time efficient. Keeps his schedule and gets you out. read more

I'm not a current patient of Dr Huston, but I was a patient of his through my entire childhood. He is a wonderful pediatric dentist and I would recommend him to anyone. Just one example (of many), when I was about 8 or so years old I had a dental emergency. I knocked out my two front teeth-which unfortunately were my adult teeth. My mother called his exchange and he told us to come in right away. He was there in less than a half hour and fixed me right up. I cannot say enough good things about him! read more

I have never experienced a better pediatric dentist or his staff than Dr. Huston's office. From our first introduction to every visit and follow-up, it has been a positive and welcoming environment. Dr. Huston and his staff bring a professionalism and positive outlook that is rare these days. I can't recommend them high enough! read more

If you want a cutting edge dentist for your children,Dr Huston is the one. He is up to date on the latest. He treats your children as he would his own.I learn something new everytime I go to Dr.Hustons office. read more

We moved to the area about a year ago, and heard good things about Dr. Huston's office - we were greeted with great care from the moment we entered the office. Our children loved the singing and jokes - we loved the quick and easy checkup! There are prizes and stickers, as well as both encouragement and information on great pediatric dental care. Prevention is key! Anytime we drive past the office our children ask to go back, I would say that speaks for itself! We couldn't imagine a better dentist for our children, Dr. Huston is a pediatric dentist our kids will happily visit for years to come. read more

Dr Huston has cared for my 3 children since before they were each 1 year old. Dr Huston is highly knowledgeable and kind to the children. When they have required a procedure (as my daughter required yesterday), his approach is very team based to keep the child relaxed and at ease. It is a partnership of parent and dental provider. I appreciate Dr Huston's office allowing me to be there with my child, as I know procedures go much smoother with me or my husband present. My children love going to the dentist and at least once a month will ask if it is time to go back . Thank you Dr Huston! read more

I've never met a dentist who is as knowledgeable, and dedicated to the profession of pediatric dentistry as Dr. Huston. His passion for educating and assisting his patients and their parents in the best techniques for improving their dental health is more than apparent. He is funny, kind, compassionate and most importantly exceptionally competent. read more

My grandson sammy love to see Dr Huston. He has it marked on his calendar so he knows when his 6 month check up is.

I took my son to Dr. Huston since my regular dentist was not able to treat my 19 month old who broke his two front baby teeth. My initial visit was great and after taking x-rays and doing an examination, Dr. Huston told me what his treatment plan was which sounded good. They made an appointment for first thing the next day. Before leaving, I asked the office to forward me the images so that I could talk to some other dentists in my family about what he recommended and to get their input. That evening I spoke to two other pediatric dentists who I know and forwarded them the x-rays. While Dr. Huston recommended a "baby root canal" on one tooth, neither of them thought that needed to be done. When I got to the office, I asked if I could quickly speak to Dr. Huston before the treatment. Basically, I told Dr. Huston that I spoke to a few dentists last night and I just wanted to make sure that the treatment he was recommending was the most appropriate...not to conservative and not overtreating. Dr. Huston basically told me that he thinks I need to get a second opinion and seek treatment elsewhere because he was not comfortable treating us. I really don't think that his reaction was appropriate for the situation. Very unprofessional and makes me think he was doubting himself. I'm not a dentist so I have no idea what needs to be done, but wanted to make sure (as any mother of a 19 month old would do), that the treatment was appropriate. I don't think it was a big deal for me to ask my friends for their input, but obviously it offended him and made him feel "uncomfortable treating him" (as he said). I don't know any mother who would just let a dentist (or doctor) do a procedure on their child without some concern. Anyways, the staff at the office were great, but I don't have anything good to say about Dr. Huston. Between the fist hitting goodbye he gave me (which was totally wierd) and him feeling "uncomfortable" treating my son, I would not recommend him. Maybe he's good at cleaning, but he obviously is not comfortable treating smaller children who need to have any type of procedure done. I took my son to Dr. Klass the same day and he fixed my sons broken teeth without any problem...and he didn't have to do a root canal. I will definitely be taking my other kids to Dr. Klass! read more

My two sisters and I have been coming to Dr. Huston's office since I can remember. We're all 18 or 22 now so it's been a lifetime, and I'm not looking forward to finding an adult dentist because of the fact that he's so great. He's never been short of amazing, friendly, and efficient (fillings are mercury free) and the rest of his staff is amazing as well. None of us have had any issues or complaints in our many years of seeing him! I highly recommend parents bring their kids here. The office is kid friendly and the fish tank is always a big hit and a calming effect on the younger patients! read more
