Always a happy environment and exceptional care from the entire staff. We are so pleased. Thank you!!

Best pediatric dentist anywhere. I cannot say enough about how extraordinary Dr. Aghi and her team are. I wish I could have her as my dentist and will certainly cry when my kids age out. We've been clients for 13 years and they have ushered us through every cavity, tooth pulling, ortho advice and beyond with extreme care, thoughtfulness to budget, compassion and trust. Dr. Aghi's advice is gold. And the best part is my kids adore her as much as I do. She's wicked smart, down-to-earth, honest and just super cool. If you live in Marin, this is the only dentist practice to consider. read more

Dr. Aghi and staff are wonderful and provide excellent care. Dr. Aghi explains things very thoroughly especially regarding the upcoming ortho treatment. The hygienist also points out where my son can improve his brushing. We highly recommend Marin Pediatric DentistTy! read more

We love Dr. Agni and her team. Such a dedicated, talented, and genuinely caring practice. They have been supportive and responsive in emergency situations. My son is never nervous to go see the dentist. As a matter of fact, he looks forward to it and always leaves with a smile on his face (and a toy!) read more

We've been coming here since my son was about 1 (he's almost 2 now), and it's been the best experience. From the first visit, the focus was on making the lil one feel comfortable, and the whole office is so fun. Books and fun distractions in the waiting room, and cool toys (and stickers!) in the exam rooms. Every single person who works there is kind, professional, and a total delight. I always leave in a good mood, and so does my son. And beyond how fun and warm they are, the care itself is excellent. They're knowledgeable, thoughtful, and great at explaining things in a way that makes you feel informed and supported. I also LOVE how easy they make it for you to make appointments - if you can't call, you can text to book a regular checkup or even a same-day appointment (which we've needed more than once because my son's favorite hobby is falling on his face). I feel so lucky this place was recommended to us. I wish they'd take me as a patient too. read more

Dr Aghi is amazing! When my 5 year old banged his tooth super hard she was quick to respond and helped ease both my son and my anxieties! She really gets kids and knows how to make them comfortable. She's the best dentist! read more

Marin Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - San Rafael, California

The whole team there is simply the BEST! Our two young kids both have moderate autism and Dr. Aghi and her staff know just how use positivity, praise, an interest in them, and prizes to elicit their cooperation! We tried going to a different dentist in the East Bay, who takes our insurance and who says they have a specialty in special needs kids, but the staff was only focused on completing their tasks and not on building rapport or encouraging consent. Neither of my kids were able to complete x rays there and my daughter didn't let them to any teeth cleaning. She sobbed so hard through the exam that it took her 30 minutes to become calm again. And my son felt bad after the visit from being criticized and acted out once home. They had no "tricks" to get cooperation. We decided that Dr. Aghi and her team are the ONLY place our kids should be, and willingly pay out of pocket in order to do so. I very strongly recommend Dr. Aghi and every one of her hygienists to families with special needs kids! read more

We are so happy with this dental practice and have been patients since our triplets grew teeth! Dr Aghi and her staff are wonderful and the experience has always been stellar. Our kids actually like to come to the dentist! Thank you for taking care of our family so well for over a decade now! read more

This dentist office is great with kids. I was terrified to go to the dentist as a child, and my kids actually seem to enjoy coming here. They are kind, gentle with them and the care is great. Highly recommend! read more

My kids and I are delighted by Dr. Aghi and her staff!!! First of all, I was able to reach a human being when I called to find out if they were taking new patients. The answer was yes, and they were able to schedule appointments for initial visits and follow up visits that were convenient for me. Dr. Aghi and her staff are professional, warm, efficient, experienced and caring. My kids asked when they get to go to the dentist next. That says a lot! Thanks Dr. Aghi and team :) read more

Marin Pediatric is really wonderful! The front office is very friendly and comfortable for kids. My son loves to play with all their games in the waiting area. He even likes to stay after his appointment and keep playing. The staff is very nice and informative. I love how my sons dentist communicates the importantance of flossing and brushing directly to HIM vs me. He is a much better flosser now because of that. They are prompt and clean. I highly recommend this practice if searching for pediatric dentistry. read more

Marin Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - San Rafael, California

Truly the most thoughtful, kind, warm, professional and wonderful team! From the front desk to the dental team and Dr. Aghi, everyone makes the dentist FUN and my two young girls LOOK forward to visiting! We've had some insurance issues due to job loss and Dr Aghi has been nothing but supportive and working with us to ensure my girls can continue to receive dental care and attention. We are so grateful to have found Dr. Aghi and team! read more

Marin Pediatric Dentistry is a GREAT place to take your kids. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and they understand what the experience can be like for both kids and parents alike - i.e. not easy. I have two daughters, ages 2 and 5. The staff is friendly and does their best to make them feel comfortable and at home - it's not easy to get kids to sit still, let alone in a dentist chair while putting tools in their mouths. They toe the line perfectly between getting the job done (i.e. teeth cleaned and mouth checked) with not pushing so far that it would create a traumatic experience. Here's a quick story that shows the care they provide. I took my oldest daughter there a year ago; she's very shy and reserved. She wasn't able to sit in the chair and have the electric tools put in her mouth, but the staff was able to look in her mouth, confirm that nothing problematic was happening, and send us on our way. The staff incentivized my daughter with a stuffed toy - if she came back on her next visit and successfully had her teeth clean, she would receive it. We came back today, 9 months later, and they still had the toy set aside and waiting for her...and they remembered her. That's as personal of a touch as we could possibly hope for. read more

Our experience at Dr. Aghi's dental office has been nothing short of amazing! Dr. Aghi is an outlier-shining in every as a provider. She is kind, great with my 2 kids and a highly competent dentist. My kids look forward to picking out a toy at the end of their visit as well as hanging out in the waiting room beforehand to play the basketball video game and the wall lite- bright activity. All the staff are awesome including the receptionist and dental hygienists- engaging, organized and great with kids. 5 stars!! read more

If there were 10 stars I would give it! We have been with Dr Aghi since our daughter was a toddler. She has special needs and sensory challenges and through the years, Dr. Aghi, Dr. Ta, and the team have been kind, patient, flexible and stedfast in doing all they can to help my daughter feel comfortable. She is now 13 and because of their unwavering commitment to work with her, however challenging, they helped my daughter build a positive and trusting relationship about going to the dentist and taking care of her teeth. Who gives their dentist and hygienists hugs? My daughter! We could not be more grateful to the team at Marin Pediatric Dentistry. You guys are the best. read more

I definitely would recommend San Rafael pediatric dentistry to anyone looking for an amazing pediatric dentist experience in the Marin county Area. Such a welcoming environment to bring my children. They always look forward to the dentist. The staff are friendly and efficient. The office is clean and well maintained. read more

We love this dentist's office for our girls. Our oldest had major anxiety before switching to Dr. A and once they had a session together I could see her really relax. They have a trusting relationship and now our oldest has had many pain-free extractions (wiggled them out in Aghi parlance). Going to the dentist is now easy and I don't feel like we are encouraged to do more than is needed. All said, a fun office for the kids (giant lite brite + toys for a job well-done). Finally, no anxiety about dentist visits. read more

We have taken our kids to Marin pediatric Dentistry since they were 1. Dr, Aghi and her associates are absolutely great with our kids. Our son was a handful when little but Dr. Aghi exercise great patience. She filled a cavity which was painless and easy on our son. Neither child worries at all about going for the teeth cleaning. The staff also provide great care for the kids and parents. I strongly urge you to take your young children to this practice. It is so important to start kids with good dental habits and a nurturing pediatric practice read more

I had no idea that a first dental appointment for a two year old could be so easy. Marin Pediatric Dentistry is extremely well-stocked with kid-friendly accessories that I couldn't have even imagined. The waiting room, which includes a wall-size lite brite, was fun enough to keep my toddler occupied for hours--although we only waited about two minutes. When we walked back to the treatment area, we saw shelves of books and stuffed animals. Kids are encouraged to choose something to bring to the chair--mine chose a big Peanuts book. And little touches like a seahorse on a dental tool help engage young children. The dental hygienist was so skilled at working with children. My daughter was so comfortable with her that she felt curious about rather than scared of the dental tools. Dr. Aghi also put her entirely at ease. The out-of-pocket costs are a bit pricy. I still go to my old dentist in Connecticut, who charges less than half the out-of-pocket rate for an adult cleaning. But this might just be a regional thing, as everything in Marin is more expensive. read more

I have taken my children here for over 15 years, and I've never had a visit where I didn't leave feeling valued, informed, and well cared for. My children feel respected and seen as well. I am a teacher, and I look closely at how adults and caregivers speak to children. Every member of the staff always goes above and beyond to make sure my children feel heard and informed regarding the care they are getting. Now that my children are gone and it's time to move on. I'm going to miss everybody there because I have grown to see them as family. Believe me, I never thought that I would feel that way about going to the dentist! I'd like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to them, and thank them for their care over the years. read more

Love Dr. Aghi and the team at Marin Pediatric Dentistry. I cannot recommend them enough to everyone we know in Marin with kids. We are always greeted and treated so warmly, from reception to Dr. Aghi, and everyone is just so great with making ALL FOUR of my kids, ages 3 to 12, feel at ease and comfortable the entire time, which is super important. Dentist visits used to be scary; but since coming here, they actually look forward to them! Very happy with this office! Highly recommend! read more

We've been seeing Dr Aghi since my son got his first teeth (almost 10 years ago!), and we continue to be impressed by her, the staff, and their facility. We now have 4 sons, and they are able to schedule to see them all at once. The boys are nervous about doctors but love going to the dentist! Everyone is so kind and patient, they explain things to the boys, let them choose flavors, and make it a positive experience. We so highly recommend this dental practice! read more

Marin Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - San Rafael, California

So hard to find a good pediatric dentist. I thought I found the perfect fit. Overall, we have had a bad experience with Dr. Aghi.

Office is super cute - from the front desk to the doctor Everyone was so sweet and so professional so happy we found this place definitely recommend read more

After a number of visits in 2020, my 7-year old's previous dentist identified 4 cavities late last year. Due to my daughter's acute fear of dental treatments, her (now former) dentist indicated that the only option was to treat her under general anesthesia, which was not an acceptable option for us. Luckily, a friend recommended that we see doctor Aghi. I have no words to express the wonders she accomplishes and the magic she beams. My daughter was (past tense because it has changed thanks to doctor Aghi) by all means a difficult dental patient, terrorized by fear. But doctor Aghi worked out a plan to not only treat her teeth but also to cure her from her fears. At this point, we have had several appointments with doctor Aghi. My daughter's behavior has noticeably changed from being acutely fearful of dentists to asking when she was going to see doctor Aghi again. Frankly, I don't think anyone else would have been able to accomplish that in such a short time or at all. It took incredible technical and human skills and a lot of patience and perseverance on doctor Aghi's part. She's a brilliant dentist but more importantly, she deeply cares about her little patients. She truly is the best. read more

This practice is wonderful. I tried 2 other pediatric dentists before I found Dr. Aghi. Not only was she amazing with my daughter, she was thorough with the explanation and the process. I was allowed to stay in the room and hold my daughter's hand. The staff is well-trained and a few of them have been there for 25+ years. The vibe is calming and everyone is friendly. My insurance is a pain, but they made every effort to check with my insurance and let me know how much my portion was. She really has a special way with kids. I highly recommend this place. read more

We absolutely love Dr. Aghi and her staff. She is incredibly warm and extremely competent. My kids never feel stressed about going to the dentist, even if they have a cavity. I can't recall ever hugging my dentist but somehow I always feel compelled to hug Dr. Aghi. I guess it's because I have so much gratitude for how she treats my kids with such kindness. Same goes for her team, especially Valencia. She always takes the time to talk with my kids and ask them about their life, all while managing to get their teeth sparkling clean. She never shames them for not staying on top of flossing etc but rather empowers them to want to take better care and how to do it. She is such a lovely, warm person with a big smile and infectious laugh and an excellent hygienist. read more

Very happy with this practice. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. I cannot speak highly enough about the people that work there. It's been an all-around great experience. read more

Words can not express my gratitude for Dr. Aghi and the entire staff. My daughter started dentistry with developmental differences. She had an adversity to opening her mouth to allow, even me, to brush her teeth. She has a small mouth, gag reflex and started this process with a speech delay, making basic routine care at home a challenge. Unfortunately, my daughters aversion caused her to need an aggressive treatment plan, when I brought her in for her initial care. Fortunately, my adolescent boys had already had years of great care with Dr. Aghi and her team. Therefore, I already personally experienced with their ability to emotionally provide a positive, stress free environment for the boys and knowledge of their top-notch dentistry. My daughter is now almost eight and had her check-up and X-rays last week. Dr. Aghi greeted her and asked if she was ready to go with her. My daughter looked at me told me...I got this! She had a huge smile on her face and said, I will ask them to get you if I need you. She felt safe and proud to walk back with Dr. Aghi and she made it through the entire appointment and radiated pride all day. I am literally writing this review with gratitude and tears of joy! Honestly, this staff fells more like family then a business practice. My boys were happy to visit the office through adolescents. They were greeted with cheers of support and inspired about their desires for the future. They mentored my little to conquer a huge obstacle. From the competent, warm greeting at reception, to the extra attention the business office paid to me when my insurance carrier changed, to the personal relationship the hygienist's pay to connection personally to each patient...most impressive! Dr Aghi, Dr Rodriquez and their team... GIFTS!!! read more

I was so nervous to take my daughter for her first dentist appointment as she is super sensitive and I was expecting huge meltdowns. We had the complete opposite experience from what I envisioned. When we arrived she immediately felt comfortable. The front desk staff are so warm and friendly and welcoming. The checkup and the cleaning could not have gone better! Everyone was super patient and wonderful. Not to mention all the fun prizes she got to take home ;) It went so well that the next day my daughter asked if she "could go back to the dentist!" Thank you to the team for making it a warm, calm pleasant experience for us! read more

We were lucky enough to find Dr Aghi over 10 years ago and have brought both of our daughters there. They have received excellent care and the environment has always been so friendly and warm. We all enjoy and look forward to our visits. read more

Dr.Ahgi is AMAZING! They check all the boxes when it comes to pediatric dental care. Very welcoming office, full of staff that are patient, friendly and professional. Another positive is they're great with dental anxiety. From teeth cleaning to filling, with no hassle, or crying. They also have glasses that play movies while the children get their work done, which is pretty neat. Colleen was our dental assistant, she is very knowledgeable and incredible with children. Just wow, you all made our day. Thank you so very much for making this experience enjoyable for my son. read more

I am telling everyone about this office. My daughter saw another pediatric dentist in SF before we switched to Dr. Aghi. We switched because we moved, but I can't even believe how great this office is. They have flavored gloves for the toddlers. They get to choose a flavor of toothpaste... chocolate anyone? Toys to keep my little girl calm and toy rewards for good behavior. Now my daughter WANTS to floss her teeth everyday. If you're avoiding the dentist due to the fear of a hard time fear no more. Go here!! read more

Dr. Aghi is a life-saver. My two-year old nephew was visiting from Houston and while we were at the zoo, he he fell and broke his front tooth. My brother is a dentist himself and we reached out to friends who urged us to call Dr. Aghi. As soon as we contacted her office, the staff was super nice and worked really hard to fit us in that same day. During the same time, they checked our insurance and confirmed that it would all be covered. Upon arrival, they checked us in and calmed the little guy down. Her office is a kid-heaven and we played with toys until it was his turn. Dr. Aghi is incredible with kids and my brother was super impressed (keep in mind he himself sees kids at his office but isn't a peds specialist). She explained all of our options to us and treated him like a CHAMP. We were out of there in less than two hours and we were back to doing touristy things. All in all, Dr. Aghi is amazing and comes highly recommended by an uncle, a mother, a father, but most importantly another dentist. I don't have kids yet, and I hope my nephew never has to go to a dentist like this again, but since our visit, I've been recommending her to all of my friends with children. Two thumbs up!!!!!! read more

I brought my two daughters (ages 8 and 9) to Dr. Aghi for the first time and I have nothing but outstanding things to say about the practice. The front office staff were so courteous and helpful. They made sure we had everything taken care of ahead of the appointment (forms, insurance coverage, health questionnaire etc.). The dental assistants took such great care of my girls. They explained how to properly brush, floss and care for their teeth. It was really impressive to hear my girls repeat everything later on in the week. They now show me how well they brushed by using the disclosing solution. Flossing is not the same now that they know why they are doing it. One of my daughters needed to have a baby tooth removed and she was so nervous about it. Dr. Aghi made her feel 100% comfortable and took such great care of her that my daughter never flinched or felt uncomfortable at any time. The tooth was out in a couple of minutes (for the numbing medicine to work) and I was surprised at how easy she made it happen. Dr. Aghi is so comforting and made the removal seem like an afterthought which is exactly what my daughter needed. Both of my girls rave about Dr. Aghi. They are both looking forward to going back in 6 months. Worth every effort to make it out to San Rafael for us (we live in SF). Dr. Aghi is nothing short of amazing and an outstanding pediatric dentist. read more

There are plenty of pediatric dentists much closer to where we live, but we've been dedicated fans of Dr. Rayman and now Dr. Aghi for nearly a decade and will happily go out of our way to see them. Dr. Aghi and her staff are very nurturing and gentle. They know how to talk to kids, how to help them relax and how to distract them when they need a shot of Novocain! The physical space is very kid-friendly, too, with lots of toys and games - so much to see and do. My kids have never complained about going to the dentist. Even extractions and fillings have gone smoothly. I highly recommend this practice to any parent who is looking for extraordinary care. read more

We recently moved to the area and brought our 3 girls in for "check up" for 12 year old daughter, and "first visits" for my 5 year old twins. We couldn't be happier with the attention our kids got, and the overall experience. All 3 girls left with no anxiety episodes. They always explained what they were going to do, and included the kids in the action. Its such a relief as a parent, to see such wonderful experiences when it comes to dentist and doctor visits. Dr Aghi, and Valencia are super ultra stars when it comes to making sure the kids are comfortable. One of my twins even said, "can we come back to the dentist soon?" I had to laugh, but the context of that question says a lot. It was that fun of an experience for a 5 year old. Now...if I can only find a dentist for adults that works well with nervous people like this crew does! read more

After trying several dentists in the city, SF, we decided to try Dr. Aghi. My daughter loves her and the environment here. Everyone is cheerful and professional. The office space is clean, fun and cheerful. You never have to wait for your appointment. Dr. Aghi and her team are gentle yet thorough in the work that they do. My daughter now looks forward each time we have to come in for a cleaning. Totally worth the drive from SF and she has sparkly clean teeth! read more

I had such a wonderful experience taking my five-year-old son to have his tooth extracted. He was so scared and was filled with anxiety, But Dr. Aghi and her staff were so amazing that it made him feel more relaxed. I would highly recommend Dr. Aghi to all parents. I just want to say thank you for taking such good care of my son. read more

We switched from Dr. Gila's office in Larkspur to Dr. Aghi's office when my then 3 year old needed cavities filled. I knew we were in good hands when Dr. Aghi called me, while she was at home, to discuss her treatment plan. After a couple of visits to get her cavities filled (the most recent was this morning), my now 4.5 year old still loves going to see Dr. Aghi and the entire staff! Colleen and Velincia are awesome and so kind. My daughter loves watching Netflix and getting really nice presents at the end! Who knew getting cavities = gifts lol but they really make it fun and light hearted. I highly recommend this office for kids! read more
