There are not enough good things I can say about this office. My son is never scared and always leaves happy. They are unbelievably patient and empathetic and go at our pace. Although this last time my 2 year old surprised us all and did amazing. This was only his 3rd time and he felt so comfortable! Highly recommended read more

Dr Seth Reder has been our child's' dentist since she was a toddler. He and his staff go way above and beyond to help support their patients and build trust and positive dentist experiences for sensitive children. They are amazing, read more

Stay clear. They don't accept delta dental and cannot give estimated prices of appts. I had to get an office manager on the phone just to get an estimated cost that I'm told is due at the time of the appt. AVOID AVOID AVOID read more

Now we have the newest Lubeck going to Dr. Seth! After his check up for his 4 teeth he got a blow up hammer from Monica, did some modeling on the couch and flirted with the rest of the staff. We love Capitola Kids Dentistry! read more

FABULOUS experience. I think that I was more nervous than my 3yo! However, from the moment we walked in, I knew everything would be fine. The front desk girls were adorable, kind and friendly to my son and he was instantly at ease. Dr. Seth couldn't have been more amazing. He obviously loves what he does, practices what he preaches (he was so human about his own kiddos!) and was incredibly knowledgeable. As a physician I truly appreciated all of the info from "ok" snacks to how to floss to how to prevent issues down the line. The man gives you his cell phone number !? If that doesn't make you feel comfortable, I don't know what else could! My son loved it and talked about it all day...I'm sure getting him back to the dentist will never be an issue and wahoo, getting him to brush was extra easy tonight bc he was excited to show us what Dr. Seth taught him. Thanks again! read more

Dr Seth is the best. Not that I have much to compare to... But, my daughter just had her first Dentist appt and he kept her at ease. He applied the tools to her hand to feel their motion prior to using. Also, he explained everything to my husband and I thoroughly. It's always a tough balance between pleasing a child and their parents and Dr Seth has it mastered. read more

Hands down the best dentist ever for my kids, I only wish he'd be my dentist too! My son just gracefully went through two back molar fillings at the age of just 4, and my son went through it almost uniphase because of Dr. Reder and his assistant's amazing care and fun attitude. I will always recommend this place. read more

Super friendly and knowledgeable dental and reception staff, I think both staff members that helped me and my five year old today were named Michelle and they were awesome! Dr. Reder is super smart and personable with the kids, parents, and staff members which is so hard to find nowadays. The practice accepted my dental insurance as was even in-network! During checkout the front desk Michelle was able easily able to find a follow up appointment and ensured that our insurance was billed for today's services and that they all seemed to be covered by my plan. I couldn't be happier in any aspect of dental care, patient care, bedside manner, or customer service! Wonderful job all around and I'm so happy to have found you guys!!!!! read more

Dr Seth and his team are just amazing. They are the most patient people I have ever met. They show so much care and compassion to my daughter. read more

First time getting dental treatment for my almost 5 year old. We needed to get a crown. My daughter felt comfortable as did I. I'm happy to know my daughters first experience was pleasant won't be scared to come back. Office is clean, and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. I can definitely see why Dr. Seth Is highly recommended by many Santa Cruz moms. read more

AMAZING!!!!! I love this office from the point you walk in to being greeted by the wonderful staff and seeing Dr. Reder he worked on my daughter she needed a filling he is good about explaining the situation and how we can fix it. My daughter was not scared she understood everything and wanted to go forward I was a bit nervous just because hey it was her first filling however they are amazing they made everything so smooth. To the person who wrote about the delta issue just a little heads up Delta Dental has and is being dropped by alot of dentists in the area its not fair to say that they dont know what they are doing insurance wise it would be a great idea to call ur insurance and get informed. I had a great experience and insurance shouldn't dictate where you go they are amazing and they deserve to be paid what they are worth great job capitola dentistry you guys rock 5+stars read more

I have been so impressed with this kid-centered dentist! They are patient and kind with nervous kids, and seem to share my view that the comfort of the child is the number one goal. I was thrilled that they could address the cavities in my children's baby teeth without drilling or numbing. I highly recommend Dr. Seth and his awesome team. Alllllll of the stars! read more

Dr. Seth is fantastic. Great service, office is extremely clean and welcoming, fees are always less than expected! We've been to several children's dentists and Dr. Seth is by far the best! read more

Just took my daughter in for her first visit at age 2.5. This place is awesome! I would give more stars if I could. All the staff members are very friendly, energetic, and kind. Dr. Reder was silly and playful (in a very approachable, professional way) with my daughter. It was clear to me that he was prepared for the visit and took the time to read the pre-appointment medical info that I filled out online. He was extremely informative and really fosters a shared-decision making approach to care. After the visit, my daughter said, "I like Dr. Seth." We are forever patients and will be back for years to come. read more

Dr Seth goes above and beyond for his patients and their families. We had left due to Delta Dental coverages and tried other places; but quickly ran back after experiencing tooth trauma and how other dental practices wanted to handle the care. I choose to continue to pay non coverage costs to receive upstanding, compassionate, and quality care! read more

Dr. Seth is a new dentist for us, after having visited a few different ones in the area. We decided to go with Dr. Seth when we realized that the tooth extractions our son needed was causing him a lot of anxiety, and we knew this office used nitrous and other methods to relax kids. We went in and were out in about a half hour, with practically zero fuss. I have to say that I was actually amazed. It went better than I could have possibly imagined. My son didn't realize that a needle had ever even been used and didn't believe me afterwards when I told him that they did. The team was friendly and gentle, and they have a wonderful understanding and application of not just pediatric dentistry, but the psychology of it, too, which is equally as important. My son is looking forward to his cleaning in a couple of months. read more

Dr. Seth and his team are always professional, effective, helpful and kind. My son loves going to the dentist and we've only had good dentist experiences with their team. Have recommended to family/ friends and will continue to do so. It's clear they care and are good at what they do! read more

My little one was so excited to go back to take care of her cavities. Even so much, she ran and told her 8 year old sister that it was the best day ever going to a new dentist. read more

Capitola Kids Dentistry has been exceptional. The friendly staff are welcoming and the fast response and turn around times for emails and phone calls has been really nice . My son had a dental issue and after a quick phone call we were offered a same day appointment right at the time I called . Dr. Seth and his staff were warm and made my son feel at ease. The accommodation that day was easy and reassuring. I'd recommend this office to anyone looking for a pleasant and friendly experience for their child . read more

Another fabulous appointment. My daughter has dentist anxiety and they helped her every step of the way. I can't recommend them enough!

We love Capitola Kids Dentistry! So grateful for such a smart and kind dentist and team! My kids love going.

We absolutely love Dr. Reder and his staff! My three kids (now 5, 8, and 11) have been seeing them for about 4 years and they love going to the dentist. Dr. Reder always is so personable with my kids, instantly making them feel comfortable. His staff are the same! He always has my family's best interest at heart... which has not been my experience with past dentists. You can tell he actually cares about each kid and what is the right fit for them. His approach is gentle and non-invasive with at the same time being very thorough and effective. The hygienists are friendly, skilled and put my kids at ease during a cleaning. Honestly, I would recommend them (and do!) to any of my friends... if this isn't your kids' dentist, you're missing out on a gem! read more

Today we had a very wonderful visit to Dr Seth and his incredible staff. My daughter is almost 10 and was very scared about her two teeth being extracted today. They were patient, gave her the space she needed and although tears were shed she felt supported and was allowed to process her emotions as well as to understand what needed to be done. Huge shout out to Monica and Dr Seth. read more

My two-year old daughter just had her third regular exam with Dr. Seth, and I was so impressed by him and his team that I knew I needed to share our appreciation. My little one can get scared at the dentist's office, and Dr. Seth and the dental hygienists have gone out of their way to help her feel comfortable and successful. She cried through our most recent visit BUT she couldn't stop talking about how much she likes her dentist when she came home. He's kind and gentle with the children. He keeps it positive and upbeat, and also honors their feelings. It's a trek to make it to Capitola, but I'm gladly make it. read more

We were staying in the area because we were evacuated from the Caldor Fire. I was concerned about my 3 year old daughter having cavities so I called Capitola Kids Dentistry. They were able to see us quickly and the whole office is super friendly and professional. A very great environment for the children, Dr. Reder was kind, fun and very informative! Highly recommend this great team to take care of your littles! read more

My kids love going to the dentist! Always such a great experience! Everyone is amazing!

Great first experience with my 3 1/2 and 1 year old! Seth was so good with my boys and the staff was so friendly! Highly recommend them!!

Dr Seth Reder is top of the line. We are so incredibly lucky to have him serve our county! It's not easy to perform any kind of dental work on kids, especially young kids, but Dr Reder and his staff do it with such grace and excellence. I'm always impressed every time I'm there with my daughter who is now 3. He treats her with such gentleness and his positive attitude makes such a difference. He always tells her "It's an honor to have you here!" He is patient and gives me fantastic and even creative instruction on how to best care for my daughter's teeth. I couldn't be more happy with their service. I wish he were my dentist!! read more

Very kind and attentive staff. Dr. Seth is very thorough and patient. We will be back.

We LOVE Capitola Kids Dentistry! Dr. Reder and his entire staff are amazing, they have made every visit comfortable, easy and fun! Can't say enough great things about them! read more

What a relief it was to find this place! My daughter is in need of some pretty extensive dental work that includes crowns. This came as a big shock to us since we thought our dental regimen of brushing twice a day was good. I visited another pediatric dentist who made me feel super terrible as a mother and the amount of dental anxiety he gave me was enough to make me never want to go to a dentist again with her. That would not be a good solution. Anyway, at Capitola Kids Dentistry they use White Zirconia Crowns and white fillings so once the work is done she will look good as new and we can make a fresh start with our new dental care routine. The office staff is so friendly! The doctor is a super chill surfer dude type who immediately knew how to make my daughter comfortable which made me feel a lot more relaxed. I highly recommend this place and will do so for a long time. read more

Hands down best experience a parent could ever wish to have when taking their children to the dentist for the first time. This team goes above and beyond to connect with the kids and truly help them love going to the dentist. Thank you Dr. Seth Reder and team! My boys cannot wait to come back! :) read more

I took my 3 year old to the dentist for his first appointment ever today. Everyone was so nice! The staff in the waiting room interacted with him while he played with all of the toys. Dr. Seth introduced himself before we even went back to the room. The whole experience was great. They gave him a stuffed animal (with teeth, of course) to hold and explained what they would be doing the whole time. They also have a tv screen on the ceiling which made the cleaning a breeze. My son didn't want to leave when it was over and has been talking about going to the dentist all afternoon. While we were there, I appreciated that they weren't trying to push extra add ons like some dentists (expensive x rays, $300 toothbrushes, veneers for babies, etc). My only complaint is that they don't take adults! read more
