I picked this dentist because my kids (two are on the autism spectrum) were recommended by my…read moredaughter's psychologist. The office texted this morning saying one child's Medicaid was inactive and that my son wasn't a dependent on my work insurance which was incorrect. I spent over three hours on the phone trying to fix coverage; it turned out nothing was wrong. One child did have Medicaid under a plan they didn't accept, so I called Medicaid and changed the dental plan to one they do accept. Please check other reviews this is not the first time. I called the office at 2:27 PM to say traffic would make us arrive at 2:50 PM. They said there's only a 15-minute grace but to come I did let her know I was paying tolls so if it was a problem let me know so I can turn around (I was coming from Hutto), she said come on. We arrived at 2:50 PM there was no greeting. When I gave my kids name the receptionist said I'd told them 2:15 PM calling me a liar and then avoided helping us by staying in the back. After leaving I called back to speak with a manager. The woman who answered said sarcastically that they didn't have an office manager but that she would take my complaint (about her) and give it to the dentist to reach out to me. Her tone was dismissive and did not reassure me that my concerns especially about how this was handled this would not be taken seriously. Their staff's behavior lost them three new patients. She said calls are recorded please, if the dentist reads this, review the recording from 2:27 PM. I'm attaching texts and my call log. STAY AWAY AND SAVE YOUR GAS AND TIME

Before…read moreour first visit, she struggled with brushing her teeth and would fight me every night, so I was worried about her first dentist visit. Luckily the office is very kid-friendly, and the toys in the waiting room loosened her up before they took us back. Every member of the staff clearly adores kids, and they were great at interacting with her without overwhelming her. She had such a great experience that she was excited to go back for her second visit (and she suddenly liked brushing her teeth, but I'm unsure if that's related to the first visit or just the whims of a 2 year old). Overall I highly recommend the practice. The front office staff is sweet, the hygienists are skilled, and Dr. Loving is helpful and kind. We will keep coming to this office as long as we live in North Austin!

There are not enough words to capture what Loving Pediatric means to our family. My daughter,…read moreyoungest of four kiddos suffered some really challenging medical trauma before she was 2 years old and the memories of that fear and pain lives in her body. She's cured every time she walks into a medical office of ANY type since she was able to communicate. When we walked into the dentist office for the first time it was no different. She was terrified. Dr loving and her team met her in her fear and held her. They have tenderly and patiently nurtured her and helped her rebuild trust not only with her body, but also with her medical providers. Giving her space to ask questions, taking time to show her and patiently moving at a pace where she could engage the courage she needed to step into situations and spaces that felt scary and overwhelming. Including things in her mouth, shots, x-rays, any anything where she felt a loss of control. Today we went in for an emergency visit, she had cracked a molar and turned out she needed a crown. 1 hour later we walked out with a smiling little girl, who she'd maybe two years before the procedure started. She did amazing and she left feeling proud and happy about her new "princess crown" a feat that ONLY happened because of the care and attention that has been provided by Brandy and her team. I can not recommend them enough. I have kids ages 15 - 6 and have had multiple different dental experiences since becoming a mom, hands down THIS IS THE BEST! I wish we had known about her earlier and can guarantee we will be with her as long we she will see my kids. I'm so thankful and feel like they have not only helped instill confidence in my daughter related to her experience at the dentist, but they have truly helped her heal from medical trauma that could have caused anxiety for the rest of her life. The best. Thank y'all so much!

Stay away from this place. In my opinion, it feels like a scam…read more I had a very disappointing experience with this dental office. They charged me significantly more than what was reflected in my insurance claim and later told me that certain services were not covered by my insurance. These charges were not clearly explained beforehand, and the billing practices felt misleading and unfair. I will never return, and I would not recommend this office to my friends or family. If zero stars were an option, that's what I would give.

Long story short my husband left with A L E J A N D R O refusing to refund the money they overcharged. So check your claims with your insurance because they're double billing. I filed a grievance with my insurance company and they also stated us only being responsible for 297. I also reached out to the dental association and board as well.

If you are a fan of small local businesses, this is a place for you! Pros Great location, very peaceful area. Willing to work with people without dental insurance for cash discounts Extra care and time from the staff (aka you don't feel like you are being rushed through the machine) You actually get service from the dentist and just the hygienist. (That always drives me crazy how at most big dentist offices you get a whole 2 minutes with the dentist.) Cons They are still a new business figuring out their workflows so some things seem a little random than procedure. (This might be a "pro" instead depending on your preference...

Dr. Hernandez personally came to greet us and brought us back. The first 10 minutes were all about making the boys comfortable. Showing them around and talking to Luca about cleaning his teeth, explaining everything to us and him. The rest was so easy. He hopped in the chair and had his teeth cleaned and examined by one of their lovely hygienists. My 15 month old did great too! Everyone at that office is warm and friendly and super helpful. I could not have picked a better dentist for my boys first visit. Luca even said on the way out "see you tomorrow" which tells me he really enjoyed his experience.
