If you are looking for a great pediatric dentist, Dr. Amy Luedemann with Kidstown Dental is the best I have found! I just love her & her staff, so much so I just recommended her to a relative on Sunday! I cannot tell you what peace of mind they give me and my girls! I was so impressed not only by her professional caring manner with me, but also what impressed me most is that she has the best manner & care I have found with children! She and her staff have made us feel so comfortable and at ease! They are so genuine, sweet, caring, and professional. The facility is also very impressive and has great technology. It is also set up cozy and comfy with stuffed animals, books, toys, blankets, etc that makes it inviting for children to feel at ease.
Just some background on our story:
I have 3 girls with mild autism and sensory challenges. We have been to several pediatric dentists prior to Dr. Luedemann. Due to bad experiences at a couple dentists previously, my two youngest daughters have experienced high anxiety when going to the dentist in the past. My middle daughter was so nervous and scared of the dentist due to her past experiences, that we had to make special trips out of our way specifically to take her to a special dentist for kids with special needs. However, I could not take my youngest daughter there because she didn't have her diagnosis yet at the time. I was very concerned because my youngest daughter had already started to experience similar bad experiences as my middle daughter, so I expressed this to her occupational therapist. Her occupational therapist knew of a dentist who had been highly recommended as being good with special needs children by one of her other patient's parents, so she went out of her way to get me this dental recommendation for my youngest daughter.
I was given a sheet of paper with the name & number of Dr. Amy Luedemann.
With nervousness going into seeing a new dentist and hope this one would be great for us, my youngest daughter & oldest daughter started seeing Dr. Luedemann through a different dental practice she was with orginally. Dr. Luedemann met all of my hopes and went above & beyond them. She helped us feel at ease. My youngest daughter didn't have any anxiety with her. When Dr. Luedemann opened up her own practice, we changed over to Kidstown Dental just to specifically stay with her. We are so impressed not only with her,first and foremost, but also her staff & new facility!
Recently, my youngest daughter had to have some cavities filled and sealants done. I was nervous as to how she would do since it wasn't just a routine cleaning. I was also nervous at the prospect of her sensory issues making it difficult for her and her anxiety that might arise while there because of a past bad experience having a cavity filled elsewhere. Dr. Luedemann made her feel totally at ease and she wasn't anxious at all while getting treatment. She was so positive with her and so considerate & respectful of any sensory issues my daughter had or possibly could have had. I was so impressed that now I feel confident and at ease that my middle daughter will do well with Dr. Luedemann and my girls can all go to the same dentist! Dr. Luedemann's office even gave me a book to let my middle daughter read that will prepare her for what to expect when she comes into Kidstown Dental. What a relief it is to know we are so well cared for there! Now, if only I could find an adult dentist for myself covered by my insurance that is as wonderful as Dr. Luedemann! read more
