Dr Daniel is very good with kids! When my son(when he was younger) expressed concern with the xray machine due to the radiation, he asked if we had gone on airplanes and that the exposure was similar. my son calmed down then. while it surprised me that my son even was paying attention to the warning signs, it was a relief that the dr was able to alleviate worries. And he is great as a dentist too, lol. read more

My son was originally going to the signature smiles dentist when we were referred to this office. We've been going here for about 4-5 years now. The staff is super friendly and they make sure you have everything you need. The office is super clean every time we go. My son has severe ADHD and can't sit still so they are always super patient with him and give him extra time if he needs it. So thank you for always going above and beyond! read more

Took our toddler here for her first dentist visit at 4 and it was a great experience. The front desk folks were quick and easy, the waiting area has a lot of books and toys for entertainment while you wait. Once we made it in the hygienist was kind, calm, and did a great job making our daughter comfortable for the visit. Dr. Johnson came in with good energy and was efficient in his time checking out the teeth and not dragging anything out longer than was needed which was really appreciated. Daughter had a great experience and is looking forward to her next cleaning. read more

Best first dentist experience for my toddler. The hygienist was so gentle and calm it helped him a lot and of course having kids shows readily available doesn't hurt - let them know your kid's favorite! Dr. Johnson was amazing too. He tried to engage with my son and definitely gained his trust. We're glad we chose this place. Parking can be a bit tricky, but we managed to find a spot. There are no toys at the front - guessing this was from COVID days - I hope they bring it back! The best part is the kids get a coin at the end for the ball vending machine. Kid psychology locked down. My son kept saying he liked the dentist on our way home. That's a win in my book. read more

This review is long overdue. Back in the summer of 2018, my then 7 year old and I were in a very serious car accident. We went to Dell Children's to address her injuries. While there we called Dr. Johnson after hours who returned our call. He left a family engagement and met us at Dell to assess her loose tooth and torn frenulum. He arranged for us to be seen in his office first thing the following morning where he put a brace on her front tooth and got us in with a pediatrician orthodontic specialist to insure her tooth was preserved. Dr. Johnson's dedication and selflessness is remarkable and our family is grateful to have our children under his care since they were toddlers. read more

I wish I could give more stars for the OUTSTANDING service and commitment I received here! Dr. Johnson and his staff are beyond words, they literally treated Myself and my kids like family, they have quality service over a quantity of patients, it's a relaxed and warm atmosphere where you are not rushed but you are treated kindly and respectfully. I have yet to ever experience anything as close to the great feeling my family and I get when we go see the dentist here!! read more

Our first visit was a blessing!! I've taken my kids to other dentist that don't clean their teeth and walk out with a list for a treatment plan... But not here at Central Park! They have provided my son with what seem like a deep cleaning for a normal routine cleaning and a treatment plan that I agreed with and could afford. Thank you Dr.Nelson for taking care of my baby and making me feel good walking out as a parent! They have 5 Stars for a reason! read more

I'm so happy we found Dr. Johnson. He and his staff are wonderful. The office is always clean and tidy. They run a punctual schedule as we've never waited except for arriving early to the appointment. The staff is always smiling and helpful and Dr. Johnson is kind, patient and all around fantastic with the children. My son loves coming here! read more

Central Park Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Austin, Texas

My review is regarding the front desk staff. I read through most of these reviews and noted several complaints about the staff. Specifically Bianca. Terribly unkind, unprofessional, rude, and lied to me: Stating no dentals offices in Austin make appointments after 4pm. I want to acknowledge that Dr. Johnson is amazing and we've been with him several years. And would like to continue seeing him if a high schoolers schedule can be accommodated. And I will amend my review once this has been seen and responded to. I wanted to address this directly with Dr. Johnson- but of course the staff is unwilling to provide me any contact information- there is no email address on the website- and my call today was to reschedule a cleaning. read more

Excellent staff and doctor was extremely caring. I will refer this office to anyone that needs to take their child to pediatric dental. Dr Daniel.J is the best. read more

Super kids dentist. The staff are wonderful and really put the children at ease. Really happy we found this place and the kids actually enjoy going which is great! read more

Today we visited Dr. Robus for our daughter's first dentist appointment. It went great, and I felt silly for putting it off so long (she's almost 4). They are total pros at dealing with kids, making them feel comfortable, explaining the tools and what is happening. They even let her pick what show to watch on the ceiling TV and sent her home with a prize and tooth brush goody bag. I feel great to have finally gotten it done and will be back in six months, along with my younger child for her first visit at age 2. I also appreciated being able to set up my first appointment online and fill out the paperwork electronically in advance, so all I had to do when I got there was sign a consent form. read more

This place sets a really high standard for children's dentistry. I had called three other pediatric dentists with high reviews on yelp and the rest tried to help but couldn't see my son for at least 24 hours. When I called Central Park, Leticia couldn't have been more helpful or kind. She said to come in right then, they would see me between patients because no kid should stay in pain longer than they have to. Dr. Daniel Johnson is amazing with the kiddos. I was seriously wondering how he would be able to get my shy, in pain toddler to lay down on a table while the dentist prodded. I was certain straps and anesthesia would have to be involved! Nope - just plain old charm, kindness and a true gift with children was enough for this dentist! He showed our son on a stuffed dragon what he would do to look at his teeth and then let our kiddo practice on the dragon with his tools. It also helps, that above the table, there is a tv for the kids to watch while they get examined. Then, our son got a treasure from the treasure chest! Michelle helped us check out and set up a regular cleaning appt - such great employees here! We were in and out in minutes, even though we didn't have an appt. Beautiful office, next to a coffee shop and right by the Central Market on lamar/38th. Kid's tv and toys in the waiting room. They also have wifi which they very willingly let me use AFTER the appt to send some work emails. I am impressed and we found our son's dentist! read more

This is our third visit and my 3 year old started coming when she was 2. Like most toddlers (and most people in general!), she can be hesitant regarding doctors and having people clean her teeth, however, she's left every appt so far asking to come back again! The books and toys in the waiting room, choice of Netflix show while lying on the dentist chair, friendly and gentle dental hygienists, and kind, calm, knowledgeable, and very kid-friendly Dr Johnson, finished by a trip to the treasure box make for a wonderful experience. Also, the receptionists have been so energetic and positive; a joy to work with. It's worth the 45 min drive for us to have such a wonderful dentist's office! Highly recommend! read more

This is by far the best pediatric dentist in Austin! My son has been a patient here since he was a toddler and he's 8 now and LOVES going there! The staff is always so friendly and the dentist Daniel Johnson will make your child's visit to the dentist even more exciting. He understands children and their needs. He's always very thorough about explaining the procedures as well as his staff! As far as the facility, the pics speak for themselves! Always so neat and kid friendly. My sons favorite part about going is being able to watch his favorite tv shows on Netflix above each chair in the rooms during our visits. Last but not least; For a busy mom/student always on the go, I value their front office staff just as much! They will send you reminder emails and text messages (if you opt in) to confirm your appt coming up. This is such a helpful tool for parents! read more

Central Park Pediatric Dentistry - Watching his favorite show Garfield before his little procedure to keep his teeth healthy! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Austin, Texas

Hygienist and the dentist were great with my 5 year old daughter. Tv's on the ceiling for the win. She was nervous coming in, but everyone made her feel at ease. She loved seeing her big girl tooth waiting to come in on the x-ray that the doctor showed her. At the end, she got a token to use in the bouncy ball vending machine, which was fun. She wished it had been a gumball though lol read more

Dr. Johnson and his staff really are amazing. We moved out to Dripping Springs and tried other pediatric dentists, but none of them live up to the quality and care we were spoiled by, so we drive into town just to see him. Our first visit was when my 3 year old daughter lost her tooth after falling from a slide. It was a rather traumatic event, but Dr. Johnson met us at his office after hours (we weren't even established patients) and his calm demeanor and kindness put us both at ease. Even given the situation, my daughter left with a very positive opinion of the dentist and couldn't wait to go back. He explains everything very thoroughly and treats the kids and adults with genuine respect and care. I am so glad we found him. read more

My kids love going to see Dr. Johnson and the rest of his staff. They are always so friendly. They make my kids feel at ease and they will take us in family blocks so I don't have to do multiple visits doe multiple kids. The office is super inviting and clean. Before Covid, there were lots of toys in the waiting area which the kids loved. There's a TV right above every chair so my kids really enjoy that part as well. Thank you!! read more

I love this place. I've seen both dentists and felt confident with both. When my son fell and injured his tooth on a Sunday evening, I was grateful that the doctor was able to call me and ease my anxiety. They got me in the next morning and were so sweet with my 2 year old who wasn't making it easy for them! They were patient, kind, and efficient. read more

Honestly I was prepared for the worst and was unequivocally delighted with the quality of the service. On the "treatment plan" they had included nitrous oxide as a sedative (this plan is the only reason I did not rate them five stars). I am very firmly a believer in using the absolute minimum amount of strong drugs, particularly with children. They very respectfully honored my request to try the procedure without sedation, and did a fantastic job keeping my six-year-old calm by talking him through every step (and cleverly concealing the Novocaine needle) so there was no need for sedation. The staff was all truly pleasant and considerate. We all genuinely had a very pleasant time...which is a lot to say for a little kid's first time having a cavity filled. My son literally left saying "that was nothing!" read more

Dr. Johnson and team are so friendly and quick! My daughter actaually LOVES going to the dentist. I had three kids with me and Dr. Johnson himself helped me out to the car afterwards. What a nice group~ Jill read more

We were recommended to Dr Johnson by our children's' pediatrician (Dr Wood- who is equally amazing!!) and we are so grateful for it! We moved to town about a year ago and we're worried about finding new dentists and drs for our kiddos, naturally but have had the most amazing experiences! We have visited this office twice now and both visits were flawless in every way. I cannot leave out the fact that we travel 40 mins each way every 6 months just to visit, the staff here is completely worth the drive from Round Rock! read more

We've been going here for years and we love Dr. Johnson and the hygienists. Both of my kids love their visits here. Dr. Johnson has great rapport with the little ones, and every visit is a pleasure. Someone else mentioned the parking lot, and I will look for the rear parking lot next time, as the front is a little difficult for parking. read more

I'm so grateful we found CPP Dentistry. Everything is set up for kids to relax and enjoy going to the dentist. The waiting room has toys, books and a kid's video going. Every dentist's chair has a screen above it and kids can choose from amazon, netflix, or PBS kids videos, among others. The hygenists are super friendly and super gentle with the kids. The dentist is fun, friendly and efficient, and understands how to put kids at ease. This is a good place for your kid's dental needs. read more

My kids love going to the dentist. My daughter didn't acknowledge that she was injected that is how gentle he his with his patients. Dr. Johnson is very thorough and most important very conservative. I really admire the quality of service he provides to his patients, he takes the time to explain treatment and alternatives. Providing excellent care and professionalism at all times. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson as your pediatric dentist specialist, he is the only dentist that you will see at all times, you don't have to worry about rotating among multiple dentists. Great dental staff very kind dental assistants. read more

Dr. Johnson and his staff are terrific. They make it a fun experience to get a cleaning and my kids are always happy they get to go.

Will not be retuning due to front desk staff. Extremely rude . The Dr. is still great but not with having to deal with office staff unfortunately. read more

This is the man you want treating your children. He is the best in Austin. A wonderful staff that really help your child relax. Our youngest needed his first set of X-rays but was not interested in having that happen. The technician tried a few things but in the end it didn't work. No shaming, just a, "We will try next time" attitude. If you want your kids to have a positive association with going to the dentist then go here! Doesn't hurt that the office is supper cute, has fun toys and comfy seats for parents. read more

The other dentist we used before was rude and condescending. So I was a little nervous about going to a new place with all three kids in tow. But I was so pleased. The place is obviously geared 100% to kids from the waiting rooms to the little sunglasses to protect their eyes. They even had televisions with Netflix sitting above them so the girls could watch My Little Pony while being prodded at. The staff was lovely and explained everything carefully and worked very hard to put the girls at ease. And the dentist didn't suggest a bunch of procedures just to make money. I only had one complaint. My 13 year old has an issue with her teeth that he said may, as she get older, make her jaw sit different and it might look a little funny. He stressed it wouldn't happen to everyone but being 13 she took this to heart and is now super nervous about her face looking weird cause of her teeth. I would have preferred any conversation about aesthetics not be told within earshot of the girls. Other than that it was perfect and we will definitely be going back in six months! read more

Awesome first dentist experience for my almost-3 y.o. son! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly, organized and helpful. The hygienist did an awesome job on a very gentle, thorough cleaning and fluoride treatment and Dr. Johnson was very friendly and informative. I had been a little nervous how my son would react to his first-ever dentist visit, but he loved it (I'm not exaggerating!) and I'm sure will look forward to his next checkup! Thank you! read more

We have been going to capital Park pediatric for two years it has never been anything but a positive and enjoyable experience my son no longer dreads going to the doctor doctor or dentist really because of this dentist practice. The front staff reception area is nice and clean and the hygienist are way beyond friendly and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this Dennis to any and all my friends and family and have done so. The only negative thing I have to say about capital capital pediatrics is that they don't take adults I wish that they did. read more

They are so good. My toddler never minds going to the dentist and he has fun while he is there. I feel like he is getting really good dental care. read more

My family is new to Austin, and we had a nightmare situation with another dental provider. It frightened my 9-year-old son, who had always enjoyed going to the dentist before. I did another search for a pediatric specific dentist and found Central Park and Dr. Johnson. My 9-year-old read all the Yelp and Google reviews and decided that he would probably be a good fit. :-) So we made an appointment. They weren't on our insurance plan, but a dental cleaning without insurance was $69.99 for first-time patients. This was very helpful and affordable. We were welcomed warmly at their office by the receptionist. The waiting room was appropriate for small children, but they didn't keep us waiting for long. The dental hygienist was very patient and friendly, and my son was very comfortable. He also thought he looked pretty cool in the sunglasses they had him wear so he wasn't staring into the bright light while his teeth were cleaned. He also liked that they had Netflix, and he could watch TV. The whole experience was enjoyable both as a child and as a parent. Thanks, Dr. Johnson! read more

Central Park Pediatric Dentistry - Time to get his teeth cleaned. - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Austin, Texas

Dr Johnson and his staff were lovely. The appointment process was a breeze. I received multiple reminders about the appointment. The office is clean, modern and well appointed. The dentist came to meet us. Asked lots of questions and really put my son at ease. It is important that my son have a positive experience at the dentist office so that he will have great oral health. I'm glad that I found him. Way to go Yelpers you got this one right! read more

Without the use of expletives I can't express how impressed I am. They came highly recommended by a reconstructive dentist. I took my son for a cleani g check up and the office is Awesome (Very modern and clean. Also in a Great part of town). The staff is friendly and the dentist personally performed my son's cleaning. On the down side like every other great secret in Austin They will be discovered. I'll certainly continue to go there and I recommend them to all. read more

We have been at this practice for 5+ years and couldn't imagine a better place for our 2 children. Dr. Johnson and staff are always pleasant, kindle, and gentle which leads to a great experience with less anxiety for our children. read more

Dr. Johnson is simply the best. So kind and gentle. He has taken great care of our children. Thank you!

Dr. Johnson is an amazing dentist and my son loves going to see him! He was open and honest with my little. He has a gift with children and I feel so thankful my little is in the best hands. read more

I wish there were more stars to give! From the front desk to the dentist chair - everyone in this practice is warm, friendly and amazing. I am SO glad I followed the AAPD recommendation to have my son see the dentist by his first birthday or when the first teeth erupt. It was comforting to have that established relationship when my son fell at daycare and hurt his mouth and we needed to be seen to make sure he was okay. He was seen very soon after the injury and I was put at ease. I have learned SO much during our appointments (cavity and injury prevention) and I know that my son will be well taken care of when he has big-boy appointments with more in depth cleanings, etc. The waiting room is so nice and clean and I don't feel like I have to hover over my 13 month old while he checks it out. I can't say enough good things about this place and I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Johnson is the BEST!!! My 12-year-old daughter is terrified of needles and is extremely sensitive. She has hidden under tables and run out of doctors' offices when faced with vaccinations, and you can just see her whole body start to curl in on itself when she even starts thinking about having any kind of procedure. Her orthodontist said she needed to get a baby tooth pulled because it was never going to fall out on its own, which would impact how all her permanent teeth grew in. We tried going to our regular dentist, and my daughter let him start the procedure, but it went seriously downhill from there. Let's just say that the ​previous dentist does not possess the "child whisperer" qualities of Dr. Johnson, and we haven't been back. I was able to coax my child out of the car and into the office with the promise of ice cream later. She was still pretty apprehensive, but the staff and Dr. Johnson put her at ease, talking her through what was going​ to happen, letting her choose if she wanted nitrous or not, letting her pick what flavor, what show to watch, etc. Basically,​ he gave her lots of control over how things were going to go. Also, he didn't treat her like a baby or like an adult. The way he talked to her was perfectly appropriate for her age. She decided she wanted nitrous after much discussion. However, she didn't want to lay back for it. Fine. They were so patient with each little step toward getting her to relax. They put the numbing gel on her gum. Eventually,​ she wanted to watch the show, so she laid back. They were able to give her the shots in some magical way without her even really knowing it was happening! When it came time to pull the tooth, she tensed up again, and I was afraid she was going to bolt. Luckily, I stayed to the side and let the experts handle it. Dr. Johnson just talked her through it, she relaxed, and out came the tooth. There was never any shaming or threats, just friendly, loving care. I wholeheartedly recommend​ Central Park Pediatric Dentistry. I just wish I had found them earlier! read more
