We have been trying for years to get her to go to our regular family dentist and the most she would do is sit in the chair. I did a google search for a pediatric dentist that specializes in children with special needs and anxiety and Playtime Pediatrics came up as highly rated. Well they deserve that rating and higher! My daughter was able to go through an entire checkup, cleaning and even x-rays in her first visit. From the moment we entered the clinic, everything was relaxed and easy. Our hygienist Katelyn was so patient, positive and encouraging. She explained everything to my daughter and made her (and me) feel so at ease. Dr. Raylin was just as great and explained all our options for treating some cavities. We are beyond happy to have found Playtime Pediatrics!

Staff at front desk seem very friendly. This was a first time visit for my child and he can be shy and not great in medical settings. The assistant greeted us at the front and we were able to bring toys to the back. They like to take pics and weigh patients but my son wasn't into it so they weren't pushy. They spend time talking about dental habits and had lots of toys and stuffed animals to pretend to clean teeth. There's a TV and lots of books and toys. Definitely very patient staff! Dr. Ella Choi comes in at the end and is super friendly. We as parents assisted with the check up for assessing the mouth. It was quick enough that it didn't seem traumatic for my son. At the end, kids get to go to the toy chest for a treasure. It seemed like a positive enough experience that we booked for a follow up check up in 6 months time for my toddler.

I've lived in several countries that don't believe in *PREVENTATIVE* dentistry. Home leave was…read moreterrific because it meant preventative dentistry. So... Unlike other people, I *LOVE* going to the dentist. Freshly cleaned teeth feel so... delicious! I am self-employed, so my income varies month-to-month. Kelsey, too, is self-employed. She did an expensive dental procedure. She graciously allowed me to make payments. She performed a root canal on my front tooth. The drill bit broke during the procedure, probably due to metal fatigue on the drill bit. She did not charge me for her services. She immediately sent me to a specialist to remove the broken drill bit. Who does that? Her staff is *OUTSTANDING*!!! She must be an excellent employer because there is very little turnover in her staff. You see the same hygienist every time. It's not a "mill" where they try to charge you for every little thing like some dental offices do. If you are looking for a dentist, I highly recommend Kelsey Ullsmith.

Dr. Ullsmith is a true gem because rather than capping teeth and doing expensive procedures she worked hard to save the teeth I have and it was very pain free and affordable. She does not say she is a holistic dentist but she is. I have terrible genetics and dentistry started becoming more and more stressful but because she is so attentive and careful, I am as a calm as a clam during the procedures.

My kids have been going to Swanson's for a while and up until this month they've been fine…read more That all changed this month when we get a bill for about $700 with the major item listed as 'Balance Forward', a late charge and a note saying we were 90 days past due. This was the first bill we'd gotten from them since I think the kids last checkup. Normally you wait for the insurance dance and eventually you get a bill, pay it and you're done. We called them and explained this was the first bill we've gotten and ask about what the unlabeled portion was. Once we got the info it all seemed normal and they waved the $5.16 late fee. After that we scheduled our bank to send a check so everything would be taken care of within 30 days of getting our bill. I guess that's not good enough for Swanson's billing dept. Since then they have hounded us through calls and texts, threatening to send us to collections. Again, this month is the FIRST time we were made aware of a bill. If you make a mistake and don't send a customer a bill, they're not 90 days past due. We need to know what you want us to pay. I guess Swanson assumes we all love to stop by our kids dentist every month to double check if we owe them anything? Basically we have no issue paying our bill but they messed up by not sending a bill on time and now we're going to a new dentist so we don't have to deal with Swansons terrible billing dept. Swanson, fix your stuff. This is unacceptable and is going to lose you customers. Edit: quick update, after posting this review they sent me a new bill saying I have less time to pay and now owe them more

Dr Swanson seemed rushed when he came in and barely talked to us or my son to put him at ease. When my son got scared Dr Swanson put him in a headlock and had the assistant pin him down. He then told me this is why he doesn't allow parents to go in the back with their children. We could hear other kids screaming in the other room. I was super upset but thought maybe this was some weird isolated incident. I found out he has done this to many other children as well. He traumatized my child and it took years after that to get him comfortable at the dentist. De Swanson should not be practicing medicine. Run away from ANY Dr or Dentist that won't allow you to be with your child. They don't want you there because they don't want you to see what they are doing. I wouldn't bring a dead slug to that man. Yes, this has happened to other children I know as well. This is the whole reason we never went back.

Although the wait area is great we really haven't had to use it as we have never had a wait that was more than a few minutes.
