After reading mixed reviews regarding The Dentist for Kids dental practice, I'm here to report that…read moreour experiences have been nothing short of amazing! The reviews that caused me hesitation were pertaining to concerns of recommendations for unecesarry work. In the year and a half that my daughter didn't see the dentist we had more cavities creep up than I thought was possible, so initially I was skeptical of the proposed treatment plan. I ended up getting two treatment plan opinions. Both very similar in their recommendations. I'm writing this after our 3rd visit. Dr. Gurr is phenomenal! Each and every time we've received the same wonderful level of service. The entire office is incredibly efficient. As a very busy mom and professional who thrives on top notch customer service and process efficiency, their practice met all my expectations. We've never waited longer than 10 minutes. I always get a sense that everyone in the office is communicating up and down stream. They're so hospitable too! Speaking of, everyone in the front office is always friendly and kind. They all seem very busy, but they've never failed to offer water or coffee. Small gestures that make the customer experience a little more special. Our patient experience from beginning to end has been a 10/10! If you're looking for a new pediatric dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Gurr and his staff.

A lot of times you'll hear the expression 'so and so was a life saver...' but not to get too…read moredramatic I think I can actually say this without much exaggeration for the Dr's and staff here. After months of desperately struggling to get our daughters weight up and dealing with her issues eating, it was suggested by her normal dentist that she may have whats called a 'tongue tie' and need a laser surgery to remove it. Our daughter is 13 months and I wasn't particularly pleased with the idea of her being sedated for any period of time, no matter how much we needed the surgery to get her eating up to a healthy point. Dr. Jensen and the DFK offices are one of the only places we found in San Antonio that can perform this surgery on a kid. After a brief consultation Dr. Jensen talked us through our options. He himself was very candid about what was entailed in doing surgery on such a young kid and offered us the option of perhaps coming back in a few months when anesthesia may be an option. The issue for us is that her eating was so bad pushing it off a few months was not an option. Dr Jensen and his team assured us that were confident in success of the operation and the entire process took less then a few minutes. Our daughter received light local anesthesia, was swaddled in a blanket and within a few minutes the nurse was out to tell us she was okay. A few tears were shed and we were on our way home, which is where work for us parents began. We had to do exercises on her tongue and gum for three weeks... which if ever met a 13 month old... she didn't love. But a month or so later I can report back we have a brand new kid. She not only eats, she eats with joy and gusto and has a full healthy appetite. I would say this to parents who are struggling with a child who wont eat to please visit a dentist and ask if your child may have this. THIS WAS MISSED BY NUMEROUS PEDIATRICIANS and if it had been diagnoses earlier we would have saved a lot of difficulty and heart ache trying to get her to a healthy weight.

I hate having to leave this review because the dentist himself was wonderful. He was kind, patient,…read moreinformative, and took great care of my children. Unfortunately, my experience with the front office completely changed how I feel about this practice. When I called to schedule my children's next appointments, I was told they could only be seen at 8:00 a.m. because they "scream and cry." This was the first time I had ever heard there were behavior alerts on their accounts. Yes, my children have been nervous at the dentist before, but they're children. Being scared or crying during a dental visit isn't unusual. What upset me most wasn't that the office had scheduling recommendations--it was that no one discussed them with me at our previous visit. If someone had simply said, "Moving forward, we recommend scheduling them first thing in the morning because it tends to work better," I would have completely understood and appreciated the conversation. Instead, I was blindsided over the phone and spoken to as though this was already established without anyone ever informing me. I called back to speak with a manager because I felt this should have been communicated face-to-face before we left the last appointment. The way it was presented lacked compassion and understanding. Parents deserve open communication, especially when notes are being added to their children's charts that affect how they're scheduled. It's disappointing because the dentist provides excellent care, but the front office's approach left me feeling judged rather than supported. I hope they can improve their communication and show the same patience and empathy to families that the doctor shows to his young patients.

They don't let his getting distracted of delivering excellent care and excellent service. From their front desk staff, to the dental hygienists and their providers, the team at Sunshine welcome their patients as if they were long time family - maybe distant cousins (kidding). That goes to say they go a long way to making your kid feel comfortable and safe, and you feeling confident and sure that you brought them to the right place. If you have seen the dentist from Little Shop of Horrors, this place is totally opposite. They have tech that I'd not seen in a dentist office that make sure your kid is not only not scared about going to the dentist, but actually excited. Remember your kid's oral health is mostly their (and yours while they are young) responsibility. The Team at Sunshine will make sure you have the right tools and information to make sure you kids smile is beautiful and healthy.

I am obsessed with Alamo Heights Pediatric Dentistry!…read more My baby boy got his first two teeth a month ago, and it was recommended by his doctor to take him for his first dentist appointment. After some research and getting feedback from a friend that is a pediatric dentist in Houston, she highly recommended Alamo Heights Pediatric. After calling, I was able to make an appointment for the next day and the staff I spoke to over the phone was so nice and kind. I am not exaggerating when I say they were SUPER nice. Anyhow, when we got there they had our room ready and they got a polaroid photo for us to keep and remember his first visit to the dentist. We got assigned to Dr. Mikulec and she was amazing. The checkup only took a couple minutes, but I appreciate her taking extra time to make us feel comfortable and answer all of our questions. At the end of the appointment they had a little welcome gift waiting for us, which was a really nice touch.
