My 4 year old was referred here by our family dentist. From we walked in, I was impressed. It's beautiful and bright office, front office staff is friendly and welcoming. The waiting area has a little game area and books. My daughter required restorative care for some cavities, Dr. Mekel and staff remained extremely patient and pleasant with my VERY squirmy 4 year old. And we finished the visit with pretty painted nails. 10/10 experience.

Awesome little waiting area !

Absolutely great experience today with my 3 year old ! This was our first visit at this office and Dr. Mekel and her assistant Karla were so nice, patient and informative. Dr. Mekel really took her time to talk to the both of us, educate me as a parent on oral health and most importantly knew how to make my child comfortable in a new environment! The office is really bright, clean, inviting and super kid friendly! We can't wait for his next dental check up in 6 months!

Upon arrival, we followed the office's request to call first, and we were welcomed in right away. The nurses and doctors were ready for us, and the entire visit took less than 30 minutes. Scheduling the next appointment was just as smooth--the receptionist was wonderful, and we even shared a good laugh over something silly I said. She promptly sent over the new patient documentation, which, while tedious, is a standard step at any office. The facility is bright, clean, and inviting. My little one was especially fascinated by the fish tank in the lobby, which made waiting a breeze. The staff was incredibly patient and interactive--exactly what you need for a toddler's first dental experience. The dentist was very informative and even taught me things I didn't know, like the importance of flossing for a two-year-old. As a first-time parent, I truly appreciated the guidance. Most importantly, my child left happy! We'll be back in six months for our next visit. When you find a great office, you have to share--so I highly recommend checking them out!

From the moment you walk in, the office feels warm and welcoming -- not intimidating like some dental offices can be for little ones. Dr. D has such a natural way of connecting with kids. She explains things in a way they can understand and never rushes through appointments. My child actually left smiling after getting dental work done which is saying something! She's gentle, thorough, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients and their overall experience. What I appreciate most is her ability to calm both kids and parents. She takes the time to answer questions and makes sure you feel confident in the treatment plan. It's rare to find a pediatric dentist who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely kind and approachable. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist who makes children feel safe, heard, and cared for, Dr. DiPaolo is the one. I feel lucky to have found her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any family.

I truly appreciate how everything is explained to me in detail, from the procedures to the insurance coverage. They always break down what's covered and what will be out-of-pocket before I even have to ask, which shows how thoughtful and transparent they are with their patients.

We are very satisfied with their service and highly recommend them to any parents looking for a dental office that truly puts kids and families first.
