I've been a patient here for over 20 years. I had Dr. Serxner then switched over to Dr. Romero when he and his wife bought the practice. And now as an adult I see Dr. Lezama. Everyone who works here treats you like family. Every time I visit they always ask me how my family is doing and even remember what we spoke about during my last visit 6 months ago. Whenever I speak to Dr. Lezama about any concerns I have, she always does a thorough job of answering all of my questions. If you're looking for a dentist, I highly recommend this one! Parking is in the back or street parking in the front. read more

What an amazing place! I brought my 11-year-old son to see Dr. Romero today, and we had the best experience. From the moment we walked in, the office was incredibly clean and very kid-friendly. They even have video games in the waiting room, which immediately made my son feel more comfortable. The front desk staff was so helpful and kind, assisting me with my insurance and making everything easy and stress-free. Dr. Romero had to remove one of my son's molars, and he was very nervous. But Dr. Romero and his team were incredibly patient and reassuring -- they talked to him calmly and even put on a movie to help him relax. The procedure went so smoothly that my son didn't feel a thing! At the end, he even gave Dr. Romero a fist bump This was truly the best experience we've had. We will definitely be coming back to Dr. Romero. Highly recommend! read more

I would give Dr. Romero 10 stars if I could. Not only did he manage to do all the necessary dental treatment on my 6y old but also was very gentle and respectful. His calm demeanor put me at ease at well. I highly recommend Dr. Romero. Thank you. read more

This place is ideal for both parents and kids. Both Pedro Romero and Dr. Lezama are so caring that they put kids at ease. I've been coming here for the last 5 years and even drove up from Redondo to see them. The waiting room is great for Gen X parents since they have Galaga and Centipede! read more

First time here and I'm so impressed! 2 teeth extractions and no crying at all from the 5 year old she had shark teeth. Dr Romero was so gentle and kind. We will be referring him for sure. He was patient and took his time. They weren't crowded and overbooked. I love this place! Keep up the good work read more

I can't begin to say how wonderful Dr. Lezama, Rita, Sarah and the whole team at Dentistry for Children are! I am so grateful that my friends recommended my husband and me here many years ago. Dr. Lezama is excellent at her job. She is kind, thorough and gentle (I had a novocain shot and didn't even feel it!). I was very nervous about having my first cavity (at 37!) filled and Dr. Lezama and Rita were so comforting. I wasn't sure what to expect but had no pain and was amazed at how quickly and smoothly they worked together to get it done. Rita is the best. She is the nicest person who somehow makes teeth cleaning not bad at all. And Sarah who manages the front desk is fantastic-- so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this dentist and her team! read more

Super duper friendly staff! My 3 year old daughter was not one bit nervous, it was the most shocking thing that I experienced! The lady that took my daughters x rays. She was so friendly and approachable, made her feel at ease, heck! She put me at ease. My daughter never even gagged once with all them pieces of x rays pieces. Then we met doctor scot Watase, he was so professional, informative and patience with my daughter! He put her at ease with the entire check up and she left with some cool stickers! She was excited to go back already! read more

11/23/2016 This place is now run by Dr. Romero and his wife Dr. Lezama. Dr. Romero takes care of the pediatric cases and his wife does the adults. This place use to be run by Dr. Serxner. The place looks basically the same. The staff has changed. The arcade game is still here. Dr. Serxner was ALWAYS on time. Dr. Romero runs a little behind, but it's doable. Dr. Romero's attitude towards the patient is caring. He explains things well to the parent. They accept dental insurance. Appointments needed. Dr. Romero has office appointments available on Saturdays till 12:00. read more

Dr. Romero has been consistent since Day 1. I waited after our second visit before posting my review. He was patient and engaging with my toddler, making sure he's comfortable. No wonder this place gets raving reviews with 5 star rating! read more

I took our son for his first dental appointment. I think my wife sent me alone with him because she was fearing this was going to be a stressful event. Our son doesn't even like to go get his haircut so a trip to the dentist was expected to be tons of drama. After seeing his reviews we decided that we would take him to Dr. Romero. And we are so happy that we did! Dr. Romero took about 10 to 15 minutes getting to know our son and playing with him, showing him the stuffed alligator with a full set of teeth and how they exam his teeth, floss and clean them. He spoke both Spanish and English to our son. So did his staff. Our son was very relaxed and when it came time to let the doctor exam and clean his teeth, there was no problem. I was in shock and extremely happy. I couldn't believe it. I took pictures and video to show the family and the doctor's assistant even took some pictures for us. Dr. Romero's kind and compassionate attitude and approach towards children is remarkable. Our son was talking about his next visit to the dentist and how he wants to play Centipede (the 80's arcade game) in the waiting room again. If you are looking for a dentist that is great with kids then look no further. We highly recommend him. And his wife is also a dentist and works on adults. Looks like we will be visiting her as well and making them our family dentists. Thank you Dr. Romero! read more

Dr Romero and his staff are amazing. My son had a nightmare scenario at another dentist, as he's extra scared and Dr Romero's demeanor and work is perfect. Nobody likes going to the dentist but these folks make it as easy as possible. PS: they're my dentist too, they're not just for kids. read more

Kindness and compassion shows! Had to do a long procedure today for my daughter, and while it was a difficult procedure, she still went to hug him afterwards and not letting go. Since she was still a bit sedated afterwards, he then helped to carry her out himself and helped put her in her car seat! Totally going the extra mile as always! read more

I am thrilled to have found this pediatric dentist. The first time I took my 1.5 year old to another dentist it was a horrible experience. At this practice, Dr. Romero is incredible. He spent about 10 min showing my now 2 yr old all the different equipment he was going to use and socializing him to the sounds. By the time he started the cleaning my son just sat there! No tears, no fighting. It was amazing to watch. I hope to have a very long relationship with him. Highly recommend! read more

I cannot rave highly enough about Dr. Romero and his staff. My 5 year old daughter had a horrible experience at another pediatric dentist in Pasadena (who is well reviewed here, I might add), and I just could not subject her to going back there. I was nervous during our first visit with Dr. Romero, but as soon as we met him, his gentle, calm demeanor immediately put both my daughter and me at ease. He made her exam and cleaning fun, educational, and most importantly - not the least bit scary! We've been back since, and now, she's actually EXCITED to go to the dentist. Imagine that?! If only I felt the same about my own dental appointments. :) read more

We had a negative experience with a nearby local children's dentist and decided we needed to search for a new one that would do a better job helping our toddler feel comfortable and at ease having her teeth examined and cleaned. I stumbled on to Dr Romero's Yelp page, read the reviews and was convinced to pay a visit. Our two year old was terrified and cried through her previous visits with a different dentist. Dr Romero took the time to get to know her prior to the examination, showing her how to brush the pet alligator's teeth, explaining all the tools to her and what they do. His bedside manner is calm, gentle and patient. When it was time for her to be examined she was amazingly calm. Dr Romero truly takes the time to make your kid feel at ease as well as build trust-- he genuinely understands children. His entire staff also is incredibly kind, warm and professional and took the time to ensure every detail in our visit (down to the dental goodie bags) were well thought out. So glad to have found a genuinely caring, kind and skilled dentist for my kids! We're excited to make a visit with his wife who is a family dentist! read more

We have gone to Dr. Romero and his staff since day one with my first child. He was recommended to me by a friend. We don't even live in the area but I couldn't imagine going to anyone else. As a child I had the worst experiences with dentists, so I was nervous for my kids. Dr. Romero is very patient, kind and gentle. He is quick and efficient which makes difficult procedures less painful. I have recommended them to my sisters. They love them as well! The staff is just as kind, patient, and go above and beyond. read more

Dr Romero did a fantastic job one both of my boys. My youngest needed cosmetic dental work and I couldn't be happier with the results. My oldest is on the autism spectrum and he was so calming and understanding with him. Dr Romero and his staff are so kind and patient ! I highly recommend them read more

My daughter recently turned two and has never been to a dentist. We are also from out of town visiting grandparents for the next four months (finish up virtual school with family). My son threw a toy (accidentally) directly into her face and knocked her tooth loose and a bit out of the socket, and cutting her lip in the process. Dr. Romero and his staff got us in within an hour of the accident, at the end of the work day. They did not care that she wasn't an existing patient (we called multiple places that did). They cared about helping a little girl with an injured mouth/tooth. Dr. Romero was very kind and gentle with her; letting her warm up to him. He had her sit on my lap and lay back on a pad on his lap, allowing her to feel connected to me. This is a move that my oldest daughter didn't have when she chipped a tooth around the same age. He cleaned the entire mouth up, took a few x-rays and slowly moved the tooth back into place. She cried a bit at the end, but was distracted by the video on the screen and the numbing gel he used. We'll see how the tooth goes, as it's a bit of a waiting game. But in the meantime, I believe she's in competent and compassionate hands... which is really all we can ask for. read more

We loved them!! Dr. Romero and his assistants were so great with my kids. I was particularly worried about my 2 year old, who can be very fussy. Dona was so wonderful with him, and he ended up enjoying the whole experience. The whole staff was great and my daughter had a smooth experience as well. I highly recommend. read more

Dr. Romero is an amazing dentist! Very kind, gentle and puts both kids and parents at easy. My 5 year old had 12 cavities and in 2 visits Dr. Romero fixed all her teeth and my little girl didn't have any pain or discomfort after! His staff is extremely professional and helpful. The wait time is literally none, for both of our visits we were taken in right away within minutes. The DA Maura is just a sweetheart reassuring and making sure my little girl was ok the entire time. The office is nice and clean and they have TVs with cartoons for the kids. I highly recommend Dr. Romero's office - and thank you Dr. Romero and staff for everything! read more

This place is amazing. My daughter has been having issues with her teeth for a while now. Been to 3 different dentist including Dr. Suh up the street. I felt like Dr. Romero was honest and very efficient in his work. He is very calm and sincere while Dr Suh is more stern. I am so happy to have found this place. I will be coming back. read more

So I don't think I have ever reviewed anyone on here before. That is the impact Dr. Romero and his staff made on me they were that good. My son is autistic and mostly nonverbal and our previous dental experiences have been so traumatic and so awful- and I get it it's hard to deal with what we've got going on. I walked in not knowing what to expect since our last dentist didn't take our new insurance and man was I glad I did. Dr. Romero was calm, nurturing, no pressure at all with my son it was honestly beautiful to watch. The receptionists were on point, everyone was caring and the atmosphere was without chaos. I'm so happy my son gets to go to him now, this guy is magic. We needed a crown replaced and my heart sank when they said they could do it then and there I was bracing myself for a tortuous experience. But it was so quick and so expertly done I was so impressed. read more

Dr.Romero is incredible! My 3 year old used to kick and scream at the dentist. He played with him for a good 10 minutes. In return my son was so cooperative the whole exam! What a great experience. I wish he took adults! read more

My daughter can be difficult to handle, especially in new environments. So when my pediatrician recommended she be seen by a dentist, sooner than later, I was very nervous. That being said, I started doing extensive research about pediatric dentists near us and came across Dr. Romero's office. After reading through the amazing reviews, I decided to schedule an appointment. Her first visit was this morning and the front desk staff was exceptionally friendly and made it super easy for me to fill out the paperwork ahead of time. The dental assistant that helped us was so kind and made us feel comfortable in the office right away. They have very strict COVID procedures in place and that was also a big plus! Anyone who is scared to go to the dentist during the pandemic should have no trouble feeling completely safe in their office. Although my daughter cried throughout some of the appointment, Dr. Romero was super gentle and so incredibly helpful. We have definitely found a gem of an office and will be returning back for all future appointments. Highly recommend!! read more

What a wonderful experience with Regan the office manager. She was so knowledgeable and professional and spent time with me explaining my benefits. The appointment was easy to make and I will update this after my daughters see the dr :) So far awesome! read more

Great dentist office for children. It was my sons first time at the dentist and shockingly he had a good time. I know thats sounds strange but its true. The doctor made it very comfortable for his first time visit. He explained everything in a very child friendly way. He was very gentle and patient. Excellent experience. I highly recommend them. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Romero. My son had a dental emergency and needed to be seen right away. I called his emergency line at 7am and he picked up and answered all my questions. He also got my son in right away and corrected the issue so professionally within a couple hours. I drove an hour for my son to see him because I didn't want him to see anyone else. I highly recommend Dr Romero! Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Dr. Romero went above and beyond for us. On a Saturday afternoon my 8 year old fell and cracked an incisor. We called Dr. Romero and got through to him right away. He was very concerned and said it would be best to take care of it today, just in case it was serious. Being a Saturday afternoon, he was at home, but he dropped everything and met us at his office 30 min later (he lives far away, Santa Clarita). He took x-rays and determined that the problem was not too serious. Then he spent a good chunk of time carefully smoothing the rough edge of the cracked tooth and very minimal cost. I was blown away by the quality of his service and low cost for emergency, after hours treatment. On top of all that, he is the nicest guy, with a super gentle, friendly character. read more

This was our first visit to Dr. Romero's office for our 2 young daughters. We were looking for a pediatric dentist closer to our home and after reading reviews on neighborhood FB pages and Yelp, I decided to make an appointment. We were greeted and seen promptly. All of the office staff greeted us as we entered the exam area. Dr. Romero took time getting to know the girls before starting to examine their teeth. He was warm, kind, patient, and explained each step to our girls in a way that was relatable, approachable, and kid-friendly. He was extremely personable and friendly and a great fit for our girls, especially our oldest who has been nervous/scared with past dentists. I highly recommend Dr. Romero. read more

Today was my son's first ever dentist appointment. I am beyond impressed for the level of professionalism, and compassion of Dr. Romero and his entire staff. I definitely recommend this dental office. read more

Dr. Romero is a wonderful pediatric dentist. Our daughter has special needs, is nonverbal and not very cooperative. Dr. Romero and all of his staff are so kind and gentle and they do great work. He is very professional and patient. We enthusiastically recommend Dr. Romero for all children and especially those with special needs. read more

Dr. Romero is an excellent pediatric dentist. My 2 children have been with him since he took over Dr. Serxner's practice several years ago. He is gentle and kind in his dealings with the children and his staff maintains the same standards. Three years ago my son broke his front tooth completely in half. We rushed straight from the urgent care where his face had been stitched to Dr. Romero's office. He reattached the broken tooth and repaired it with such skill that it is completely impossible to tell there was ever an issue. But that isn't even the most amazing thing. His office was actually closed that day! He could have easily referred us to another office and I would have completely understood. THAT is the kind of person he is, along with being good at his profession. read more

Dr. Romero and his staff are so friendly and professional. My 8year old who had the normal cleaning and X-ray plus an extraction handled it pretty well. When it was all done he said, "Can we do this again." Dr. Romero has a delicate touch that works well with kids. Thank you so much for an amazing job on his cleaning and making my son feel comfortable! read more
