Finding a pediatric dentist that your kids actually look forward to visiting is rare and Parkside Pediatrics delivers exactly that. The office is bright, open, and welcoming, with huge windows that give the whole space such a warm and cheerful feel. It's always spotlessly clean, which as a parent means a lot. The care here is genuinely top-notch. The staff is attentive and makes my girls feel comfortable from the moment we walk in. And of course, the highlight of every visit for them is picking a treat from the treasure chest at the end -- a small touch that goes a long way, We feel so lucky to have found such a great fit for our family. If you're looking for a pediatric dental office that combines quality care with a space kids truly enjoy, look no further. Highly recommend! read more

We have been going to Parkside (and its former dental team) for over 10 years and always have a great experience. However, I want to share about the great care we received after our 9 year old's dental emergency. On Sunday, she fell at home and broke her front tooth--not just a chip, but a large chunk, leaving exposed nerve. After a bit of panicked searching I found the right number to call and was immediately transferred to the emergency on-call dentist. Even though Parkside was closed, in 30 minutes we were meeting with their colleague (shout out to Dr Ozzie of Danville) who took X-rays and then successfully reattached the broken piece of her tooth. She was so warm and reassuring to both me and my child. Less than 2 hours after the accident, we were headed home and my daughter was smiling again. The tooth looks great--you can't even tell there's a line unless you look very closely. Even though this dentist does not normally take our insurance, for the emergency, everything was still handled as if we had been seen directly at Parkside. I can't say what a relief it was that they had this service/partnership in place, so we did not have to worry in the midsts of the crisis! My daughter was then checked by her regular care team a few days later. Everyone was so kind and empathetic and really cared about her--they'd all seen photos of what happened. The staff also took my feedback that having to click through their menu options to find the emergency number was somewhat confusing in the moment, and within the hour messaged me that they had changed their voicemail to list the emergency number first, so future panicking parents won't be confused! I think I earned a few gray hairs from this experience, but really have nothing but positive things to say for how things were handled in the midsts of such a scary event. Thanks Parkside for being there to save my daughter's smile. read more

We urgently needed pediatric dental advice after being awakened in the night by our child's cries of intense pain. After calling over 40 pediatric dentists in the area, we were finally able to reach an emergency line where Dr. Do answered our call. Dr. Do was incredibly patient and took the time to listen carefully as we explained what our child was experiencing - severe pain, distress, and ongoing crying. He asked thoughtful, relevant questions to assess the situation and determine what guidance he could safely provide over the phone. Even though we had never met him, it was immediately clear how attentive and genuinely caring he was. Based solely on our answers and without access to X-rays, Dr. Do made the decision to prescribe antibiotics. At the time, we were unsure whether the issue was an infection, a cavity, or something else. When we were able to see a family doctor the next morning (on a Saturday, when no dentists were open), the doctor confirmed that Dr. Do had made exactly the right call - prescribing antibiotics due to the level of pain and the pressure from adult teeth on the baby teeth. Thank you, Dr. Do, for your quick thinking, compassion, and expert advice during such a stressful moment. We are truly grateful for your knowledge and willingness to help when we needed it most. read more

As a mom of two boys--one of whom is autistic and non-speaking--finding truly inclusive, compassionate providers isn't just important to me, it's essential. We originally found Dr. Don when he was in Brentwood, and when he opened his own office in Concord, we didn't hesitate for a second to follow him. When my autistic son needed extensive dental work under general anesthesia, the fear and worry I felt were overwhelming. Handing your child over in that situation requires an immense amount of trust--and Dr. Don and his entire team earned every bit of it. From start to finish, we were met with empathy, patience, and genuine care. No rushing. No dismissing concerns. Just a team that truly gets it. Every single staff member was attentive, kind, and reassuring--not just to my son, but to me as a parent navigating an incredibly stressful experience.... Special shout out to Nelly who is so amazing as well!! They explained everything clearly, treated my son with dignity and respect, and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. It was obvious that this wasn't "just a job" to them--they genuinely cared about my child's safety, comfort, and well-being. If you are a parent of a neurodivergent child and are searching for a dental practice where your child will be seen, understood, and treated with compassion, I cannot recommend Dr. Don and his team highly enough. Inclusive, patient-centered care like this is rare--and we are beyond grateful to have found it. read more

I cannot recommend Parkside Pediatrics enough! My son was not happy with our previous dentist ("She was really mean!"), and the front desk woman seems like she absolutely hates her job. Suffice it to say he was apprehensive about his first appointment with Parkside. HOWEVER, from the moment we walked in, it was obvious this dental practice is top notch. Everyone had a smile on their face and were so incredibly nice to my son. Dr. Jen took the time to come talk to me after she examined my son, which was so amazing and unexpected. I booked an appointment for my older son right away. 10/10 stars for Parkside! read more

I just had the best experience at Parkside Dental for my two kids. After feeling discouraged, rushed and under informed by our prior dentist, we sought a second opinion from Dr. Do at Parkside. I did quite a bit of research prior to the appt and was really hoping to find the right fit. Not only did Dr.Do take his time to thoroughly explain what he saw, he discussed several treatment options available and made sure I had all my questions answered. He was very friendly, as was his entire staff! The office was clean and bright, with cute stuff for the kids to play with. My kids were excited when I told them this was our new dentist. So so happy to have found Parkside and look forward to working with them in the future :) Thank you Parkside staff!! read more

It was our son's first visit to the dentist, let me tell you the team and staff at Parkside made his visit so much fun. He was nervous but the staff made him so comfortable, they made sure that he was comfortable and willing. Some offices get down to the nitty gritty but this place will make any kid feel safe and make it a fun experience to go the dentist. Stickers, toys to take home and a cool tortoise that just hangs outside... this place is a vibe Thank you Parkside for making Amir comfortable and now he is excited for his next dentist appointment.... read more

My boys always get nervous going to the dentist but they had an amazing time here! The hygienists were all so friendly and they saw both my boys at the same time for their x-rays and cleaning which made it so much easier for me. Dr. Do is also very friendly and had awesome bedside manner for kids and their parents. We go back in a few weeks and my kids are not nervous at all! Hopefully the tortoise will be back then :) read more

We have known this dental group for 3 years, and I can say our family very happy that! my son has been very lucky, his first visited till today with them. ( I recommend this is the place if you are looking for a place that your kids will be excited to go to.) Thanks, Shahla. read more

Dr. Don and his staff made sure my 4 kids had a pleasant experience at the dentist. The children loved that they got prizes and that the X-rays did not hurt. I liked that the office is very clean and big enough for me to join them in the treatment room. Dr. Don's compassionate approach to dentistry has been a game changer for our family as my 6-year-old is on the autism spectrum. Dr Don was very patient with him and took the time to explain to my son what to expect and let him participate in his dental treatment. That simple noble action made my son feel at ease and in control of the situation. The kids look forward to their next vist. Thank you Parkside pediatrics!!! read more

A big thank you to Dr. Do and his amazing staff! Today was my 4 year old daughters first visit to the dentist, after she could not stop talking about how she can't wait to come back. Our dental assistant was so patient & sweet and answered the dozens of questions my daughter had. From taking x-rays, her first dental cleaning, picking a goodie bag. and visiting their pet tortoise outside it was definitely a day to remember. Dr. Do was also great & informative. I hope all little kids can have a wonderful dentist experience as we did. read more

I was referred to Parkside Pediatric Dentists after the office my children were previously at changed their practice and the other changed their insurance. Cyndi, the front desk manager was very kind and helpful. I was able to get my 3 children seen right away. The office staff are welcoming and kind. My children left today saying "this is our favorite dentist so far". Making sure children are comfortable in these settings is important. You can see how the office is more of a family which shows the type of doctor your kids will be seen by. You can tell his employees are treated just as great as his patients. To top it off, a desert tortoise right outside of the patient chairs, doesn't get any better! So glad we were able to find this gem! read more

Had my daughters first visit there today and Dr. Do and his staff were really great and all smiles. My daughter left there saying she really felt comfortable and calm, considering she's terrified of the dentist. Thank you all. read more

I wish this office accepted adults, that's how much I fell in love with the process and staff. My son had been there before after an accident and needed an emergency tooth extraction. Dr Do came in even though the office was closed and took such good care of him despite the fact he was dealing with a scared/screaming toddler. Fast forward 8 months and my son went in for a cleaning and it couldn't have gone better. The staff is amazing at interacting with kids and making them feel at ease throughout the entire process. He didn't even need to wait for the end to get a sticker, it was the first thing they did! He got to make choices throughout the whole cleaning and was smiling through the process. Also, they have a pet turtle! How cute is that?! My son was allowed to pet him and he was awe struck to be able to. It was so nice having all my worries wash away so easily. Dr Do is a rockstar and so is Adriana! If you're a mom with a nervous kid and not sure how they'll be at the dentist, come here. It's the perfect place to build the love and habit of going to the dentist! read more

I was referred to Dr. Do by our family dentist. This office is very welcoming and everyone was very friendly and kind. Araceli welcomed both of my boys in and was very kind and soft spoken to them. What I love about this office is that they explained everything that they were going to do so the boys wouldn't be surprised or get scared. Both of my boys had a great experience! Definitely recommend! read more

Wasn't sure what to expect when taking my first child to his first dentist appt, but wow, I couldn't have been more impressed! It's very clear they know exactly what they're doing. They made my son feel comfortable the second he walked in the door and the first appt went seamlessly. Thank you Parkside for making this so easy!! read more

From the front desk check in , to Lindsey the RDA who greeted Charlee and got her a goodie bag, then picked out a tooth brush, prizes from the toy chest and the tooth paste flavor , Charlee loves getting in the chair for her cleaning! Lindsey was so patient and shows all the tools she is going to use so the kids are not scared! Dr. Don then came over to count her teeth and she loved it! Dr. Don was very thorough and explained what we need to look out for. At the end Charlee was given a Dino egg and a tattoo! She talked about the dentist the whole way home and showed everyone her teeth! We can't wait for her next appointment! read more

Highly recommend Been taking my little brother and sister here for the last year and everything is so smooth don the owner is just the best with the kids and very friendly and the staff is really welcoming! Nice and clean office as well! read more

Dr Don was great with my 9 month old son. My son has a rare condition where he keeps cutting his tongue bad on his new teeth that come in. Dr Don filed down his teeth and also suggested a few other good ideas. Working on a screaming 9 month old isn't easy but Dr Don was calm and gentle. My other 2 kids will be coming there in about a month, I'm excited they will be able to see the pet turtle outside! Edited to add: They accept Delta Dental PPO insurance! read more

Just switched over because they take Delta Dental. My son came out saying how quick it was and that he loved the tortoise! Everyone was friendly. I can see why they came highly recommended. read more

Huge shoutout to Dr. Don and his wonderful team! I brought my 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter here after hearing great recommendations from our neighbors. I was looking for a doctor who was conservative, honest, and not pushy. I've been to dentists prior and just felt like they were overselling and were recommending unnecessary treatment. Going to the dentist as an adult already causes me anxiety because I felt like my childhood dentists did unnecessary work on me. I want the best experience for my kids going forward so they don't be fearful like me! If you're second guessing your child's dentist I'd highly recommend getting a second opinion from this office. I can't thank you enough for their honesty and sincerity. We will be seeing you in 6 months!! read more

The staff are wonderful working with kids! I've been taking my kids to this location for 10 years and I can say I'm super happy with their care and professionalism. read more

Highly recommend this place! The visit was amazing, I've never walked away from any medical visit feeling so happy.

cannot recommend this dental practice highly enough! the entire staff go above and beyond to make sure the kids have a great experience. Truly from the front desk staff to the amazing hygenists and the Dentsit himself. My 4 year old has been extremely scared of the dentist, and every visit so far has been about 25 seconds of screaming and Barely a look in his mouth. They took SO much time and care to make him have fun- he was laughing like crazy and they couldn't have been more fun or kind. Very thankful for this team!!! read more

My daughter loved her visit at Parkside Pediatric Dentists. When we first got to the office, they gave my daughter stickers and a tooth brush, which she loved. They also have a tv with cartoons. Kristy, our dental hygienist, was so friendly and kind. She explained everything to my daughter and let my daughter see all of the tools. Dr Do was also super kind and answered all my questions. The office environment as super kid friendly. The little extras like stickers and kid dental tools were great. Now, my daughter can't stop talking about flossing her teeth. Im so happy you find a great dentist for my 3 year old daughter read more

Parkside Pediatric Dentists - his smile says it all about how good this staff is! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Concord, California

My son who is 5 has always been apprehensive when going to dentists, primarily due to a previous experience that was not so pleasant. My cousin suggested that I go to Dr Do and expressed how her 4 year old loves the dentist. Jill was thorough at scheduling my appointment and verifying the dual coverage that my kids have. I'm glad that we found this place, my son was a little timid at first but was able to find comfort in the chair eventually which is a big deal for us. Dr Do and his assistant's demeanor was soothing and reassuring that he now is looking forward for his next check up. read more

My daughters absolutely love going to the dentist! Thanks to Dr. Do, my four year old can always expect a fun visit and expresses how she can't wait to come back. She even got some fillings and sealants done and was able to sit through it with no complaints. My 1.5 year old observed how much of a good time her sister was having during her cleaning that it set her up to have a great check up visit as well! Thank you Dr Do and staff for making us feel like family when we come into the office. read more

My boys loved their visit to Dr. Don! My boys were naturally nervous about going to the dentist, but we parked in the (spacious) parking lot and got to walk into the building not having to worry about speeding cars in the parking lot. After getting called in the nice and friendly staff let my boys choose some toys 1st. Amazing! Things were going smooth. Then we got to visit the pet tortoise which was great. One of my boys is autistic, so my wife and I were worried about him waiting his turn. The staff and Dr. Don took matters into their own hands and let my boy get involved with his brothers check up to put him at ease. Success! read more

My kids have been seeing Dr. Don since he was working at an office in Brentwood. We of course had to come see him at his new office! And to no surprise the visit was amazing.

The staff is kind and patient which can make all the difference when you have a child that is anxious about going to the dentist. That kindness follows thru to the dentist who is really good with kids and has a calming personality. Their practice is worth the 30 min drive and I highly recommend to anyone who has a child that doesn't like the dr's office. Actually, I recommend them to anyone needing a pediatric dentist. Everyone deserves a good experience. read more
