    Inside... WOW.
    Alice W.

    I came here for my son's first dental appointment. First of all, parking is easy here and free, so that's always a plus! Second, it is literally right in front of the entrance of Vromans so it's in a great location. (Just had to give that shout out bc I love that bookstore.) Third... I don't think I've ever been to a prettier dental office before in my entire 30+ years of life. W.O.W. Now... moving onto the dental stuff. I was able to make an appointment by requesting a date via the website. I got a phone call from the office and was easily able to make an appointment. On the appointment day, my son and I were greeted by the staff. There's also this very sweet and personal touch in the office bc they have a cute welcome sign with my son's name! We quickly got checked in and were seen. My son got his little teeth cleaned (he's 11 months old) and then was seen by Dr. Soo. She explained everything she was doing in detail in a fun way to entertain my boy and also let us both know what was going on. It was a very pleasant dental experience for my son's first time! By way of distraction, they have tvs with cute cartoons playing overhead so the kids can watch it while lying back on the dental chair, plus they gave my boy a little rubber duckie to play with and take home! They also have cute toys and books in the waiting area. We'll be coming back again! Yay!!

    I never thought I would see my kids actually strolling out of a dental office while dancing. I can only thank Dr. Song and the team at Rooted Pediatrics for that. I always struggled with getting my kids to go for a dental check up and the aftermath of it. But Dr. Song was super gentle and explained every step of the treatment not only to me, but to the kids! She gets down to their level and shows them what is going on and gives them a heads up of what is to come. I really liked how Dr. Song explained the process of the new teeth coming in and what to expect in the future. She even recommended steps that can improve their oral health to avoid problems in the long run. And my kids, of course loved the TV mounted on the ceiling and the fun prizes at the end! I would also like the give a shout out to the staff, especially Lisa. She super friendly and helpful with setting up appointments and all of the logistics. It was awesome how everything at the practice was super clean and well managed. I will only trust Dr. Song and Rooted Pediatrics to take care of my kids from now on. Thank you for making the fear of dental visits a thing of the past.

    We had such a wonderful first visit with Dr. Song and her team at Rooted Pediatric Dentistry. The office is clean, bright, and full of colorful touches that make it feel calming and welcoming. Lisa at the front greeted our son by name when we walked in. Nothing felt rushed, and Dr. Song and Preya were so confident and comfortable with our 7mo old. Dr. Song is so knowledgeable and willing to share her knowledge with clarity. She took the time and answered our questions with patience. Now we know what toothpastes and pacifiers are recommended for optimal oral health and development. Overall, not only did our son have a great first dental visit, but my husband and i also had a reassuring experience as parents.

    Dr. Soo Song is seriously the best pediatric dentist. We have been with her for 6 years now, first in Los Angeles, and have followed her to Pasadena because I cannot find care as wonderful as hers. Not only is she great at what she does, but she truly cares. My son has had molar issues since he was 3, and she really helped me understand what was happening, as well as drawing up a treatment plan for him in the most non-invasive way possible. I never felt like my concerns were brushed past or disregarded. I felt heard by her. And, my kids look forward to their check ups!! This amazes me because growing up, I really feared the dentist. My kids recently went in for their 6 month check up, and her new office is so beautiful! There are toys in the front so kids can be entertained, screens to ease the kids in, and prizes for a job well done (my kids look forward to this the most haha). Free and ample parking, which is always a plus. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist in Pasadena, Dr. Song is the one you should go to. Even if you aren't in Pasadena, you will not regret making the drive over to have her care for your kids. Thank you for your care, Dr. Song!!

    So thankful to have found this amazing pediatric dentist in Pasadena for my kids! The front desk staff was so kind and helpful -- they answered all my insurance questions and got us scheduled right away. There was plenty of free parking, and the facility was brand new and spotless. My older son is usually very anxious about dental visits, but he did so well here! The warm, welcoming atmosphere and kid-friendly space made such a difference. He was happily playing with the toys in the waiting room instead of feeling nervous. Dr. Soo was friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. I felt completely confident in her care for my kids. My 1 yr old had his exam in their cozy "cuddle room," which feels just like a child's bedroom. It helped him feel comfortable and calm. Dr. Soo also had so many gentle and effective ways of managing my 4 yr old's behavior during his visit. He's already asking when he gets to go back! We're actually looking forward to our next appointment! Thank you Rooted!

    Their favorite part! Prizes!

My daughter had previously been seeing another dentist, and for years it was difficult getting her to feel comfortable to cooperate during dental visits (yes, years!). During that time, she developed a severe dental infection, so I began searching for a second opinion and that's when we found this office. Dr. Sun and her team was incredibly patient and compassionate while working with my daughter. Although the treatment process was not easy, they took the time to help my daughter feel comfortable and gradually build confidence during her visits. The calm and supportive approach made a huge difference. My daughter still doesn't love dental work (what kid does?), but she is willing to return to see Dr. Sun and her team and I think that says a lot about the trust they built with her. The office is a bit of a drive for us, but it is absolutely worth it and we will definitely continue coming here.

It's bright, welcoming, and filled with little touches that immediately put children (and parents!) at ease. The entire staff is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. They took the time to explain everything and made sure my son felt safe and comfortable at every step. What truly stood out to me was how calm and confident the team was, especially given that this was my son's very first dental appointment at just one year old. They handled him with so much warmth and care that the experience felt stress-free and even enjoyable. Dr. Sun is absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, gentle, and clearly passionate about working with kids. She has such a reassuring presence and took the time to answer all of my questions while making sure my son was comfortable the entire time. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and their families. This office sets the gold standard for pediatric dental care. If you're looking for a place where your child will feel happy, safe, and well cared for, this is it. We're so grateful to have found them and look forward to many years of positive visits ahead!

    Dr. Joe (Little Crown Pediatrics Dentist). As a long, loyal patron of your dentistry,…read moreunfortunately, I must let you go as my son's dentist. I understand customers are a dime a dozen, they come and go. I can say that with dentistries as well. As a person with dental insurance, it is easy to shop around for another dentist for my son. I was a loyal customer for the last 12 years since my son was first able to get dental work done. He is now almost 16. It's probably not a big deal losing 1 customers. I had a bad experience today when I called in to see if I could change my son's appointment. I live in LA, I work in Long Beach, my son goes to school in LA, and we travel to South Pasadena for his cleanings and dental work with Dr. Joe. I always try and get the last appointment for the day for my son as I don't want him to miss school, I also need to take 1-2 hours off early to travel from Long Beach to LA to pick up my son from school and then to South Pasadena to make the afternoon's appointment. I called in today to see if I could do a last minute change from Thursday (4/25/2024 - see the picture of the card I received 6 months ago) to tomorrow, Wednesday, 4/24/2024 because LAUSD had a day off, I also took the day off for another reason so both my son and I would be free if there was an availability tomorrow. Come to find out, the lady who picked up the phone today said that I did not have an appointment in the books for 4/25/2024 and that she could not find an appointment. I mentioned a few times to her I have this card in my appointment book for 4/25/2024 at 430pm and inquired on why there was no appointment. After a bit of back and forth, she said that everyone that was scheduled for 4/25/2024 was contacted and notified that the doctor would not be in. I asked her again, who was the person to notify me because I did not get any notifications (luckily I called today to inquire about a date change or else I would have showed up Thursday for an appointment I did not have). She then said that Dr. Joe would not be in Thursday and that I could book another appointment with her and that everyone was notified (apparently not everyone). I left it at that and hung up (she did sound irritated) but I left it at that. After hanging up the phone, I called my primary dentistry and was able to book my son for a Saturday appointment and insurance information would be completed when I came in. I called Dr. Joe's line back and advised the same lady on the phone that I was not too happy with the cancellation, and she stated that I could just rebook with her for another date, I never received an apology from her for the no notification of the cancellation for 4/25/24. I mentioned to her that I did not need to rebook anymore and that I would be taking my son elsewhere moving forward. I was loyal for many years, but unfortunately, I have to take my money somewhere else. I felt like she was irritated and condescending towards the end of the conversation before we hung up. Phone conversations today took place around 4-430pm. Good luck Dr. Joe, you're one of the nicest pediatric dentists out there.
