How do I even start! That Dr.Kareem & staff are heaven sent. Literally! My son needed 2 tooth extractions. Every place just went directly into sedation. Here at High five pediatric dentistry they offered me the extractions & patience for my little one without it. My son had a traumatic previous experience elsewhere. So I don't fall short when I say that this is the place if you are looking for a dental office that actually cares about the work they perform. Thank you again Dr.Kareem & all the staff! read more

We recently had our first visit here after switching from another pediatric dentist. From the initial outreach, High Five made the experience so easy and helpful. My toddler has been to another dentist in the past where he would have severe anxiety and overall trauma from doctors/dentists so we decided to try a new place after seeing all the amazing reviews. He was a little nervous at first but that instantly went away. We have never seen him so comfortable at the dentist! He was playing along, laughing, and following directions like we have never seen at the dentist before. Dr. Kereem and the entire staff are beyond amazing! By the end of the visit I was wishing that I could be a patient there because the expierence was so smooth. read more

Finally a pediatric dentist that I love! Very clean, lots of space, didn't feel crammed. We came here after not loving Lollipop Dental. The techs here were so kind, the doctor took time to address any of our concerns and was so great with both my young kids. We look forward to our next visit! Highly recommend! read more

Fist time, took my 1 1/2 month old baby to check for lip and tongue tie. As a first time mom I worried about everything. Decided to try them out due to the fact that she doesn't latch. The Dr. Was friendly and comforting. I'm still worried about her mouth but the fact that I can just check with them and all my quest will be answered gives me some peace of mind. First impression the office looks clean. See you guys in 6 months for a follow up read more

Amazing high quality dental care. My kids had a lot of severe dentist anxiety from previous clinics but at High Five they didn't even blink an eye. They actually look forward to going to the dentist appts every 6 months. Dental assistants are warm, helpful, and great at their jobs! Dr Kereem is calm, great with kids and highly skilled dentist. I love his preventative holistic approach. He doesn't try to add on unnecessary treatments, which is the experience I've had with other providers. I feel very confident in his recommendations and the high quality care given here. Highly, highly, recommend! read more

You absolutely need to take your kids here--this is by far the BEST pediatric dentist and team! I was nervous about bringing my toddler to his very first dental appointment, but the experience could not have been better. From the very first phone call, the gentleman I spoke with was kind, reassuring, and made scheduling so quick and easy. The waiting room was welcoming and child-friendly, filled with books, building blocks, and stuffed animals that immediately put my toddler at ease. Miss Jessica was incredible! She was full of energy, kindness, and instantly made my little one comfortable. She explained everything in a fun way, gave plenty of high fives, put on Bluey, and had my toddler laughing in minutes. She made the cleaning quick and easy while brushing and flossing his teeth. Dr. Kareem was just as wonderful--patient, gentle, and very reassuring. He took the time to connect with my toddler while also making me feel confident and supported as a parent. This was, without a doubt, the best experience I've ever had taking my toddler to any kind of doctor. Highly recommend this office to any parent! read more

Who knew kids could actually LOVE the dentist? Dr. Kareem is a rockstar! He is so knowledgeable and has a way of explaining things that makes me feel completely at ease as a parent. The staff is top-notch and so gentle with little ones. Between the great care and the legendary prize wall, my girls are already asking when they can go back. Truly the best pediatric dental office around! read more

Absolutely love it here! I have been to a ton of children's dentist offices. After moving to a new area, I wanted to find an office close to our new home. I was really nervous because this is the first dental visit for my 4th child. I was expecting lots of tears, but was pleasantly surprised by how kind and reassuring the staff and dentist is. They did so well with my little guy. We will definitely be here again and will be bringing my other kiddos as well. read more

After spending two frustrating years at Something Happy Teeth (down the street)--a factory-like dental practice where we were just a number--I finally decided it was time to leave. Honestly, it felt like being in a bad relationship where you keep telling yourself, "It'll get better!" lol We just had our first visit at High 5, and I'm so glad we made the switch. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient with my energetic boys, even letting my son floss a stuffed animal's teeth, which turned the visit into a fun and engaging experience! The dentist was soft-spoken and genuinely caring, taking the time to explain everything without being pushy or dismissive. It was such a relief to find a place that truly prioritizes patient care. To top it all off, the kids loved receiving tokens for toys after their appointments! If you're looking for a dental office that cares about your family and makes kids feel comfortable, High 5 is the place to go! Thank you for making our first visit such a positive experience! read more

Great office! Great Staff! My son felt very comfortable with his dentist experience. Everything went very well.

We love High Five! We started going when my son was 1 and were impressed by how clean, fun, and low stress it has been. They're always on time, kind, thorough, and supportive. Totally recommend! read more

I typically do not leave reviews but I was very impressed with this place. It was my sons first dentist visit ever (at 4 years old, I know I'm late!) and I was really nervous about it AND I had my baby with me so I had a lot on my hands. The staff and environment are super inviting and perfect for kids. I asked a million questions as I was nervous on how my son would react and they were so patient with me in answering all of my questions. Overall, this place is kind, gentle, and compassionate and I love that for kids. If only this place took on adult patients too, that would be amazing! Lol read more

High Five Pediatric Dentistry - My baby picking out a show to watch during his exam - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Long Beach, California

Dr Kereem is the best! He is caring and his clinic has all sorts of great distractions for kids that they don't even realize that they are getting dental treatment but rather they are there to play. We totally love this clinic Kids just love going there. High five! read more

Finding a pediatric dentist who truly understands kids--especially sensitive, curious little ones--is not easy. My son is a highly sensitive kid who reacts strongly to sound and, until now, wouldn't let any other dentist put both hands in his mouth. He's also extremely curious and asks about a million questions. We tried a couple of dentists in the past to fix his dental issues, but nothing worked... until we found Dr. Kereem. From the first visit, it was clear that he and his team really "speak kid." They are patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely know how to communicate with children. Jessecca, his dental assistant, is amazing--she answers all of my son's endless questions about equipment, procedures, and how things work. The biggest test came when my son needed a crown. Imagine the kid who wouldn't let other dentists even try--Dr. Kereem and his team handled it calmly, skillfully, and with such patience that I was genuinely impressed. My son left the office smiling, which is something I never thought I'd see after dental visits! The entire office is wonderful--Christian and Teresa at the front desk are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always go out of their way to make the visit easy and stress-free. I cannot recommend High Five Pediatric Dentistry enough. This team makes dental care a positive experience, and it's clear they truly love what they do. read more

My son has been seeing Dr. Kereem for years now. He feels comfortable seeing him and for us, as parents we also have a pleasant experience being in this office. read more

Very nice experience and set up is amazing for kids. Staff is amazing and things were done on time.

This is the best pediatric dentist. Skilled, knowledgeable people in a clean new office. Other places charge more and give less. We were facing a$2k procedure somewhere else and got it done at high-five for only $120. The other guy was trying to sell us a bunch of stuff we didn't need. High Five is the best! The very best office experience! read more

High Five Pediatric Dentistry - The nice new clean office - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Long Beach, California

I would definitely recommend this dental office to any parent who has a little one! They were very patient, gentle and you displayed so much care! The dentist is amazing and the staff is just simply great. I feel good knowing my child is under High Five Dental care. I wish I could give 10 stars. Thank you all for your service always! read more

What a wonderful experience for my 2.5 year old. My daughter asked to go back to the dentist right after we left. If you are searching for a pediatric dentist, look no further...call and book an appointment. The dental office was beautiful, clean, and so welcoming for kids. My daughter immediately started playing with the kid friendly furniture and enjoyed the fun wall decor and stuffies. The front office staff was nice and helpful. Miss Jessecca is exceptional! She was patient, kind, friendly, and amazing with my daughter. She communicated so well with her and made her dental experience fun. She made sure to involve me and ensured all my questions were answered. The same goes for Dr. Kereem. He instantly made her feel comfortable with high fives, and effectively communicated with her and myself. He was very informative. Such positive vibes from the whole staff, and you can tell they genuinely care for pediatric population. read more

Clean office and friendly staff. I wish we can make this our primary dentist office but unfortunately they are referral based only. They take care of their patients with care and patience! read more

Such an amazing kids dentist! I love Dr.Kereen! We've been going this place almost 2 yrs.

Everyone here is awesome! The dental assistant and dentist are very friendly and outgoing. They go above and beyond to make my child comfortable. They have tvs above each chair so the children can be distracted during the exam. I have to coax my child into leaving the waiting room too. Highly recommend them. read more

Love this place! kind, fun, professional, caring. Explains things well. My kids actually love coming to this dentist.

We LOVE High Five Dentist. Nicest staff, and would recommend to anyone. They took extra care of all four of my kids and made sure they were comfortable and not in any discomfort. Best pediatric dentist. read more

High Five did an amazing job for my son's first dental cleaning and X-rays. He's on the autism spectrum and really struggles with sensory stuff but Jessica was AMAZING and Dr Kereem made him feel so comfortable. Jessica showed him everything she was going to use and that made him comfortable. I was SHOCKED. I didn't think he would ever let them do x-rays but Jessica treated him like her own son and I am so grateful. I highly highly recommend this dentist! read more

Big thank you to Dr. Kereem & his staff at ©highfivedentistry for such a great experience. The office was clean & aesthetically pleasing to children & parents alike. The prize machine station is adorable. Dr. Kereem's hygienist/assistant team was wonderful & so friendly. We had Elizabeth and she took great care of my little guy. I specifically sought out Dr. Kereem due to his specialty experience with children with special needs -- and was so grateful for the extra care & fantastic bedside manner provided by him. He & his team made the entire visit a breeze for my little guy & myself. If you're looking for a new pediatric dentist, I highly recommend! read more

High Five Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm so happy to have found Dr. Kereem!! This was by far the best dental experience my child has ever had. She even asked "can we go back to the dentist next week??" Dr. Kereem and his staff were patient, attentive and gentle with my daughter. I love how they explained everything that was going to happen, so she knew what to expect. She was nervous going in but they really made her feel at ease. Also can we talk about how COOL this dentist office is??? Everything is new and clean. The waiting room had a tv playing kids shows. And they also had iPad stations where the kids would play. The bathroom even had the word "smile" tiled into the floor. And by far one of the coolest things about his office is at the end of the visit the kids get to go to the vending machine station and pick out a toy. Brought back major 90s nostalgia and my daughter was ecstatic. I also loved how easy the billing process was. In the past I have had other dentists be shady with the cost and make errors with our insurance. Here they let me know upfront my coverage and all costs associated and handled all the insurance smoothly. We will be back for our next check up. So happy to have finally found a good dentist for my littles!! read more

I know Dr. Kereem from dental school. He was one of the smartest and most talented doctors, if not the best. So when we wanted to take our 2 year old daughter to a pediatric dentist, there was no other doctor I would take her to except him. We had a wonderful experience. The entire team was terrific. The clinic was spotless. Most importantly, our daughter did so much better than we expected (both her mom and dad are dentists and we can't get her to open her mouth for us). Dr. Kereem was able to do a full exam, and she even behaved well when his wonderful hygienist cleaned her teeth. We're giving this office 6 stars! read more

If I could give Dr. Kereem 10 stars I would!!! He has been my daughter's Dentist since she was 4 years old. She's now 15!!! I still remember the first time she went to see Dr. Kereem for an exam. The way he treated her and interacted with her was just what I was looking for. My daughter does have special needs and he is so accommodating to her. He knows how to make seeing him a relaxing environment. When I heard Dr. Kerreem left the last office I was so sad. And was searching for another Dentist for my daughter. She only saw him and I would make sure to schedule appointments when he was going to be working there. I looked at so many other Dentist but none compared to Dr. Kereem. I was comparing everyone to him. I know I shouldn't have but my daughter went a year without a check up . I just couldn't find anyone else. Once I heard from my friend that he was starting his own practice I was so excited!! I started to follow High Five on IG. I signed up on their website about getting updates. Soon enough I was called to make an appointment. I made an appointment for my daughter on 2/2/24. Our commute one way was around 40 mins. This goes to show I am willing to drive to High Five so my daughter can see Dr. Kereem. They are located in a shopping center off Wardlow Rd and Norwalk Bl. Parking wasn't an issue there is plenty of parking spaces. Walking in I was greeted by two nice receptionists. The waiting room had plenty of seating, iPads for the kids to use while they wait to be called. When they called my daughter back the space is an open space which I like. They also have an extra room that's secluded for those children who need that. I was speaking to Dr.Kereem and you can tell he is so excited for this. Since this was a soft opening little things he told me still had to be done. Like hanging up things on the wall. But everything look great!! My daughter had her X-rays done. She was taken to the chair to get her teeth polished. As she sat down she was asked what movie she wanted to watch as she was getting her teeth clean. After the cleaning Dr. Kereem did the exam. I really like the prize wall at the end. I have never seen a Dentist office do that. So he gave her a quarter to go and pick a prize from the gumball machine. Then we checked out with a receptionist and scheduled an appointment in 6 months. Congratulations again Dr. Kereem!!!! Thank you for going above and beyond. I can tell you love what you're doing!! I appreciate you and your honesty, and compassion you have. I wish nothing but the best for you and your practice. read more

High Five Pediatric Dentist is nothing short of amazing! The office is very clean, welcoming, friendly, and centered around making the kids comfortable for their visit. At my son's visit the staff were very hands on, ensuring that he was comfortable and that I was informed on each step during the visit. Dr. Kereem was very nice and also shows care and consideration for his patients. You won't be disappointed bringing her children here! read more

Every staff member is incredibly nice! They got my 4 year old son very comfortable with the process before cleaning his teeth (he's never let any other denist/hygienist touch his teeth previously). My daughter had to get her front baby tooth pulled (because the new one was growing in) and they provided extra care to make sure she didn't feel any pain. So happy we switched to them from a Lakewood dentist. read more

If you want a pain free dental visit experience, you have definitely found the place. Dr Kereem is always in a great mood and knows how to talk to kids. He is gentle and patient and his office here is nothing short of amazing! My kids are always asking me when I'm taking them back. I've moved a few hours away and it's almost time to take them back and I'll make the drive. Thanks to Christian, Teresa and Jessica for making my visits go so smoothly! My son is special needs but has just passed the age to see a pediatric dentist. He's always saying he wants to sit in the chair and have Dr Kereem be his dentist based on his little sisters' experiences. From beginning to end, a great, stress free experience. read more

Really good with kids and friendly patient and they were wonderful with the kids wonderful crew and really had a good experience here and would definitely come back read more
