Braces for my son,the quality of care was awesome, office experience nice friendly staff.

Parents, Do Your Research "Our family had an experience with Dr. Christopher Carillo that was serious enough for us to file a formal complaint with the Dental Board of California. We trusted this office to provide gentle, compassionate care for our child, yet what we experienced was the opposite. Parents were denied the ability to be present despite our child being scared. My child was in pain and asking for comfort, yet was instead told to be quiet. Instead of reassuring my child, staff were talking about haunted houses during the procedure. We paid extra for a pain-free experience, yet my child felt everything. The aftermath left our child distressed and afraid of trusting medical providers. No one reached out to check on us despite being assured they would. Parents deserve to know that they have options beyond just leaving a review--formal complaints can be filed when necessary. I hope this helps other families make informed decisions about their child's care. read more

I wish staff could be more approachable and friendly but when it comes to care, my baby LOVED Dr. Fishman and thats all that matters to me. Wonderful place to take your babies. read more

Dr. Fishman was my daughters pediatric dentist. She is now 20 and fanatic about her dental hygiene. She is on her 3rd crown because of the poor work Fishman did. She has had nothing but problems with the fillings he did. I do not recommend taking your child here. read more

My kids have been patients since 2013, and Dr. Fishman and his team are amazing. They are kind, patient, and truly care about their patients. It's comforting to know my kids are in such great hands. I highly recommend this pediatric dentist office to any family. read more

As a parent of a special needs child, I am constantly worrying about things that haven't happened yet. For example, when my son had two loose teeth, I was already dreading our trip to the dentist to get his teeth pulled out. I was already psyching myself up for a miserable afternoon. HOWEVER... it was the opposite of that. The staff at Dr. Fishman's office were so professional, experienced, cool, calm and collected. They took x-rays without a hitch, and when it was time to pull the teeth, it was done in less than 2 min. Trips to the dentist are not on my list of worries anymore. Thank you Dr. Fishman and staff! read more

Scott Fishman, DDS - 2 teeth - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Downey, California

Friendly staff and Dr! My 4 year old loves going here since he was about 1. There's little play area and the tv while your child gets their cleaning. I'm on baby number 2 and I can't wait to take him there next time. Any concerns and questions are always explained thoroughly. It's good to do a routine cleaning and check to avoid any problems in the future. I've had my own share of dental trauma, glad I found a place that will support their teeth growing up. read more

My daughter was only 7 when she made this drawing--after being left alone during a dental procedure, even though she begged for a parent to stay. She asked me to send it to the main doctor so no other child would feel what she did: scared, in pain, silenced, and alone. We trusted this office. This is what was left in her heart. This is not just a drawing--it's a warning. Please listen to kids. Believe them. Protect them. read more

I cannot thank Dr. Fishman and his amazing staff enough for having the best service and experience. My son is on the spectrum and does not do well with dental work. He had cavities and in order to have the work done, he needed the gas. Past experience left me a bit traumatized but Dr. Fishman's office took that away. Honestly, I am beyond grateful for Anai, Bianca and Dr. Fishman's patience and bedside manner. With their help my son had his dental work done in one sitting. Everything was explained to be step by step in detail before the procedure and discharge was a breeze. I have dealt with two other dental offices and felt rushed, ignored, and not well informed on how to help improve my son's dental health. I would definitely recommend to give Dr. Fishman's office a try if you're looking for a new dentist for your child(ren). Appreciate the entire staff/office! read more

What a relief! After finding out that my three year old needed extensive dental work, my anxiety was through the roof. THANK God we found Dr. Fishman. He gave us the option of using oral sedation, and as a parent I was much more comfortable with that than iv sedation or general anethesia, although he assured me that all avenues would be safe. Both him and his staff were absolutely wonderful throughout the whole procedure. The office is clean, and they space out clients well enough that you don't feel like you're just another number. You truly do feel like Dr. Fishman cares about you as a patient. He made me feel comfortable that my son would be taken care of. His staff was amazing with offering updates, and what's more, is Dr. Fishman works fast, while providing THE best work. Absolutely zero regrets! read more

Great service. Very helpful staff, my son Max and daughter Camila have been here. Over 10 years for my son Max. They make sure the process for kids is not scary, they're just so careful with the whole experience. The care follow up is always so thoughtful to check in after the visit. They're amazing! Clean office, best pediatric office ! read more

Great team , great doctors , great staff. I am taking back on how well each staff member including the Doctors took care of our two boys. X rays were done pretty quick , Doctor Fishman did not sugar coat anything and was direct on what was needed to be done for my children's teeth. The waiting room for children is beyond suited for children and the office is so clean , remodeled and magnificent . I was reflecting back on the times I went to the dentist at 8 years old and it was terrifying for me. My children Are not fearful coming here ; My son had work done recently and Dr. Chris took great care of him. My son said his experience was great. Thank you Doctors and thank you staff! read more

I couldn't be more grateful for his thoughtfulness and expertise! Dr. Fishman is the best of the best, and we were lucky to be referred! To anyone looking for a great dental experience, he is your guy! read more

Very disappointed with the whole experience especially since I searched for a long time for a good dental pediatrician and heard good things about this place. I decided to put my daughter under anesthesia which was not an easy decision, for any parent, im sure. Day of we actually had the appt with Dr. Fishman which was not the doctor who first saw my daughter but I have heard everyone was great which we did not mind at all. After waiting 2 hours to be actually seen, again did not mind, he finished his work in an hour. Fast but Dr has a lot of experience. Same day filing came off and I noticed an indentation on the canine and one of the crowns does not looks right. Also, I have experience in the dental field but of course not something I mention right away. Filing is off, canine has an indentation that was not filled, and her crown looks very irritated. My husband took my daughter in and they don't give her anythingto relax her, even though thats there motto to have a stress-free experience. She yells through the whole thing and only fills the canine cause my husband again mentions it. Checks the crown and says she picked at it and its fine. I have pictures that will say otherwise and the day of her appt we made sure her hands were not in her mouth. I honestly felt if i was not on Medicare I would have had a better experience and unfortunately people have hardships, and I was unlucky to need dental work done before getting a PPO or HMO. Not only that I did pay $850 for the anesthesiologist which I didn't mind because I don't want my daughter having a traumatic experience hence the irony. Also, dr was very condenscing with me and my husdand after the intial appointment. My daughter will be going back for the crown again but after will be looking for another pediatrician. read more

Scott Fishman, DDS - Filing is off on her right, indentation on her left canine and the filling on her left is sloppy. This is from a very experienced doctor - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Downey, California

See all

I've been coming to Dr. Fishman's office for about 5 years now. He has seen my youngest 3. Not only is this office beautiful and clean, but the staff is very professional and on top of everything including appointments and school notes. My daughter went in for a frenectomy today and Dr. Fishman explained the procedure with great detail and provided thorough post care information. He made sure my daughter was pain free and called in the evening to check on her. I mean who else does this? Our community is so blessed to have Dr. Fishman. read more

Scott Fishman, DDS - The Cutest School Note - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Downey, California

Alrighty, so after a horrible time with my toddler at West Coast Dental, I was desperately searching for a new dentist. The bad news here is that it took my insurance like 6 months to work out a referral, for a "Specialist" but that's not their problem, just an issue if I went to see ANY specialist. So coming here will be work, again, but it's well worth it. They are extremely fast. We were seen so quick, in and out. The last office I went to took like two hours, the first hour spent entirely in the waiting room, then waiting in the chair for ages. They also are very friendly here. They are kind and they gave me daughter stickers right after we had a room so she had something to look at and play with. There was also a TV on the ceiling but my daughter wasn't so interested in that. They also are breast feeding friendly, and don't tell you to wean or stop night nursing, but to just be aware that any milk left on the teeth (especially at night) could cause cavities- it's the reality but they don't shame you for it. He said that personally, I am doing a perfect job, brushing her teeth every night, and generally her teeth look perfect. What a relief from everyone who's told me she's too old to be breastfeeding (17 months) and I need to stop or I'm ruining her teeth. To look at her teeth, he did this technique where I held her in my lap, with her legs around my waist, then we touched knees, and I held her arms. Sort of like lying her across a little bridge or bench that out legs made. It allowed me to have a good control of her, and she did cry, but I didn't feel so helpless, and he got a really good look at her teeth. At the end they gave us a toothbrush and a plastic tiara, and some more stickers. Because it's a Specialist office, I will have to get referrals from her old crappy office, or I will have to find out how to do it "through insurance" like everyone says I can (although they keep giving me the run around), or maybe I'll have to keep making appointments with her pediatrician and seeing what she can do for me- although making a pediatric appointment every time she needs the dentist seems like a waste of the doctor's time.. Overall, my only problems are with the insurance Dr Fishman and his staff are very kind and attentive. Absolutely worth the five mile drive from Whittier. Thank you read more

Not giving a 5 star just because it's expensive but then most dentist offices are expensive, right? however their facility is clean and well out together. I love it! Their staff is nice, I have been taking my oldest son since he was 3 and he's 11 now. We have not had a bad experience. The dentists are nice and the orthodontist as well. My youngest is currently under his care and my son loves going for monthly fittings. Every chance I get I recommend this office to family and friends. read more

My 12 year son had a dental emergency from playing basketball. It was a scary time, but Dr. Fishman and his team were great. I would strongly recommend his team for pediatric dental. read more

My son had abscess and ended up in the hospital. While at the hospital, they told me a dentist would need to remove the abscess as soon as possible to prevent my son from becoming sepsis from the infection. Someone in my mom's of Downey group recommended this dentist and I called and left a message for him on a Sunday. Mind you, my son was not his patient at the time. The dentist called me back that same day and scheduled my son the next morning to have the abscess removed even with my son not being his patient. I will always be grateful to this dentist for putting my son as a priority. read more

The Dr and Staff are so wonderful here. The care and service you receive here is top tier. They space out there clients appropriately so that you don't have a long wait time when you arrive. The whole office is patient and caring. My kid is difficult to get X-rays but this office was able to get them, and my kid came back saying it was easy. I could not be happier with the quality of service my kids receive. Love the private rooms with personal tv for the kids. I've never seen a dental office so clean. read more

We took our 2 year old for his first check up and he had a great experience, totally recommend

We came here for a 2nd opinion and thank God we did! Prior to coming here, we were going to a pediatric dentist in Long Beach who suggested we sedate my 5 yr old son via IV sedation in a hospital setting due to his weight, in order to get two crowns and some sealants done. My husband and I didn't feel comfortable going through with IV sedation and wanted to try the laughing gas first but they denied our request. We therefore decided to get another opinion and luckily we did! We came to Pediatric Dental arts and were seen by Dr. Fishman and guess what?! My son only needed two fillings and sealants, he didn't need any crowns like our prior dentist said. He had his dental work done today with the laughing gas and is doing great. He was scared about getting his fillings but Dr. Fishman and his team made him feel super comfortable! Don't hesitate and bring your children here! You won't regret it. Thank your Dr. Fishman and team! read more

Scott Fishman, DDS - Babygirl loves it here! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Downey, California

My daughter unfortunately inherited my bad teeth and I was looking for a dentistry practice that knows how to make kiddos feel at ease and familiar with childhood teeth issues (we had been going to a "family" dentistry however it was obvious kids were not a specialty). And I have found it! We did not see Dr. Fishman however we did see a female doctor who was thorough and explained what was needed with care and patience. I did hear Dr. Fishman speak with another client about some severe needs and he was so kind and courteous with them. They genuinely care about kiddos and their dental health here. The front desk staff were kind and quick to help. All areas were clean and spacious. Parking and check in were easy as well. read more

Our family experiences with both Dr. Fishman (pediatric dentist) and Dr. Gibson (orthodontist) have all been WONDERFUL. They are very friendly, warm and some how have made our children love going to the dentist (seriously). We (sadly) have experienced quite of bit of services ranging from cavities, tooth extraction, crowns, and braces. Although, I wish I didn't have first hand experience in all this I am thrilled it was at this office that we had to deal with it. The kids have never felt afraid and I trust both of these men. My kids are ages 13, 10, and 7. We also have a great experience with his front office staff and dealing with insurance questions. They are all so great! Highly recommend this office and the great people who work here! read more

My goodness I have never seen a practice go above and beyond like Pediatric Dental Arts they are amazing. Anai and Dr Fishman were so nice. Their Dental Assistants are so patient and kind with the kids. They were able to take Xrays and other practices weren't able to while he was awake. They just left us with such joy and that is weird to say after a dentist appointment. read more
