They are following strict COVID-19 safety measures, mandating face masks for individuals above the age of 2, asking patient to stay in vehicle until being called on the cell phone for the appointment. The establishment is bright and clean inside, with a lot of colorful decorations. The patient room has a TV to play songs/videos to distract/calm the kid. The visit with Dr. Decere was great! She was on time, very thorough in answering questions, and very patient in dealing with my kid! My kid got to take home a goodie bag with a new toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, and a little rubber duckie! The front desk was friendly and effective during the check-out process. All-in-all, I highly recommend this pediatric dental establishment!

If your child never has a problem with their teeth you will likely give this business 5 stars for…read moreconvenience location, parking, efficiency, a clean office, space for active children to play or read, and an overall nice or positive attitude, other than some complaints by my wife of rudeness from the receptionist. If, on the other hand, your child has issues to be dealt with. Be prepared for them to do a (hmm what's a nicer word) "halfhearted" job on diagnosing and early remedy. The remedy could be, as in my child's case, to grind away a break in the tooth down to the dentin (making it many times more susceptible to decay where brushing won't help). It could also be that they might recommend against and avoid doing the right, precautionary thing early on a looming issue so that as the child grows, the problem grows as well, until the pain and time and expense of recovery is multiples of the initial precautionary procedure. In both these cases the initial visit or one follow up could have taken care of each problem quickly, with lower pain and radically lower expense than the outcome of how they chose to delay and see what happens or do a quick initial fix--multiples of expense being the key words here--makes one wonder about motivation. You can't give zero stars so, starting at one, I add a star for the positive things. I take away three stars for the pain, expense and time casualties of what is possible incompetence or outright intent to create a larger profit down the road. Look for other pediatric dentists (ignore the high stars and read the reviews before choosing. In our case it would have made us well willing to drive farther away for appointments...

Vernon Pediatric Dentistry came with great recommendation from friends and in the year that we've been with them, we've received outstanding service. Dr. Vernon and her team are extraordinary and in depth in their assessments and process. Notably attentive in routine cleaning, and detailed in explaining recommendations. Always pearly whites in each visit! Appointments are easy, billing is concise, and her front office team are stellar! I definitely recommend them if you have young ones in need of dental care. Check your insurance if they participate.

They made it look like fun! The office itself is very nice with plenty of things for kids to do in the waiting room, from toys to movies to video games. Since it was our first visit we got a private room and my kids were allowed to select a movie to watch while getting their teeth cleaned. The dental hygienist was very pleasant and nice and explained everything that she was doing and also took pictures of each child once in the chair, to put on their wall. My daughter (2 year old) talked her ear off the entire time she was taking care of the boys. Never once was she irritated or annoyed. She was very professional and super friendly. They all made it through their cleanings unscathed and the dentist came in to examine their teeth. He was also very nice and thoroughly explained to me what was going on inside their mouths. If you're looking for a wonderful experience for your children at the dentist, this is the place to go. That's not something you often hear said about a dentist's office but this place gets it 100% right! Everything about their facility and style is geared toward making sure the kids are comfortable and enjoy themselves. I can't think of any reason to go anywhere else as long as their business model stays the way it is. I'm a fan!

We were in and out in 25 minutes for 2 kids and the 2 cavity's my son had - she said there was no reason to fill them because they don't cause him pain and the teeth will fall out in the next year (plus one cavity he filled already came out) and my daughter had early signs of 2 cavity's but they weren't real ones yet and we can just seal them. I was so relieved and glad I waited for another opinion. Everyone was great and caring from the front desk to the hygienist.
