I really want to thank Dr. Gibson and his team for being so kind and helpful these past 3 years while handling my braces. They did an amazing job. I had, had braces for two years prior to arriving with Dr. Gibson and his team and was very un satisfied with the results, but they did everything they could to remedy my situation and now I have a perfect smile! Thank you all for everything, my only regret was, not finding your dental office sooner! read more

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

Best dental office I have ever been to by far for my little pumpkin Parker. Great and welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere. Thank you all here in Downey. read more

My sons have been with Dr. Fishman since he started his practice in Lakewood. I followed him to Downey at his amazing new location. His staff is top notch and always friendly. The commute is worth it as he has always provided me with payment options to ensure I could afford braces for my oldest. One time the wait was unusually long and he didn't charge for sealants (@ $46 each) and kept apologizing for the wait. He loves nothing more than to help his patients. He is not only a good dentist but a solid person! I trust him and know that in the 13 years he has put my boys health first; with no gimmicks, no pressuring, and never anything unnecessary. As a single parent and full time student Dr. Fishman and Dr. Gibson have worked together to get my oldest braces. Can't thank them enough!!!! read more

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

Dr. Fishman is Amazing! He truly cares about his patients and it shows through his work! I brought my kids here because I was horrified on how much their previous doctor was going to charge me. Their previous doctor suggested that my kids be put under anesthesia, which would require an extra charge on top of their treatment plan. I felt so horrible, I didn't want to put my kids under, I decided to get a second opinion... thankfully I did because Dr. Fishman is a blessing! Not only did he say my kids didn't need an anesthesiologist but the the total cost of the work was reduced to less than half of what the other doctor was going to charge me! Fast forward to our second visit! Dr. Fishman found a cavity on our son, I scheduled the appointment a few months out not realizing that would be a big mistake! The cavity jumped to the next tooth so work needed to be done on both teeth! He told me that he would not charge me for the second tooth! I was amazed! Most doctors would jump at the opportunity to make money! Thank you doctor Fishman you are a blessing! read more

Dr. Fishman has been my 3 daughters' dentist for the past 3 years. He is awesome and very patient. Office is very clean and front office is very welcoming. My 5 yr had cavities and I was nervous regarding treatment bc of prior experiences with my oldest daughter at another place but here it's not the case! They do everything possible to make sure she was calm before starting. She didn't cry one bit!!!! One happy girl makes mommy happy! My older daughters also have been in ortho treatment with Dr. Gibson and he is beyond fabulous with his work. I have seen them improve so quickly in their teeth it's amazing. They love going! All the staff here genuinely care and love kids you can tell they want to make sure the patient and parents are happy. read more

I just have to share a wonderful experience that I had with Dr. Fishman and his assistant, Elizabeth who is truly amazing. My 12 year old son had a scooter accident and knocked out his front permanent tooth. It was a week day at 7:45 pm. In a scared panic, not sure what to do. I called Dr. Fishman's office and was able to get in touch with Dr. Fishman personally, who advised me to put the tooth in milk and said he would meet me back at his office with his assistant by 8:45 pm. Both Dr. Fishman and Elizabeth worked on my son close to 10:00 pm that night. I thank you Dr. Fishman and Elizabeth for your professionalism, sincere dedication, compassion and sacrifice that night. Best Dentist and Best Dentist in the making!!! Truly amazing and wonderful!! God speed to you both. read more

Another mom friend referred me to Pediatric Dental Arts 5 years ago and I've been bringing my 3 kids to see Dr. Fishman for regular checkups ever since. I am always pleased with the level of service and care that my kids receive from him and his staff. Every experience is positive which takes away any worry or anxiety that my kids may have when they think of going to the dentist. We also recently moved an hour+ away, but I refuse to find another dentist. This pediatric dental office is just that good! read more

Dr Fishman is wonderful! I have been bringing my daughter here for 4 years now. This was her first dental visit when she was 2 yrs old and we absolutely love Dr. Fishman! His attentiveness and bedside manner are commendable! He is very informative and knowledgeable. Dr Fishman explains everything in detail and is very caring! The office uses state-of the-art equipment and the Dr even informed me that he uses filtered water to protect the health and safety of his patients! The staff is friendly and my daughter loves the "goodies" bag! I highly recommend Dr Fishman! If I could give him 10 stars I would! read more

Dr. Fishman and his team are as usual the best. Since the moment you enter until you leave, they always make my kids feel happy of going to the dentist. I have 2 boys (8y and 6y) and they have been coming with Dr Fishman for years. Very professional team and they are always very kind with the kids, they know how that handle the situation for them not to get scare or traumatized for the procedures. My kids and I trust Dr Fishman to always keeps them with a nice and healthy smile.... I totally recommend this place to any parent that is looking for a dentist that sincerely cares for the present and the future of your kids smiles... read more

Dr. Fishman is an amazing dentist. Hes the only dentist my kids have ever been to and we have no plans to ever change that. His office is clean, inviting and very kid friendly. TVs on ceiling while kids are getting work done = genius! He knows how to make the kids feel comfortable during procedures and explains everything to us before anything is done. We fully trust him with our dental needs and we are now beginning ortho at his office as well. I highly recommend him. read more

We have been taking our daughter here since her teeth first started coming in. I cannot begin to express how AWESOME the entire staff is. They are caring and really know how to deal with young children. On a personal note, Dr. Fishman is a Downey high grad like myself and, more importantly, a football fan haha. Take your kids here if their oral hygiene and care mean a lot to you! read more

Absolutely blown away! I wish I could give 10 out of 10. I was referred to Dr. Fishman from a pediatric dentist in my hometown. I live in Palmdale, 63 miles away. Since being on the stay at home order we haven't been able to contact our dentist or any other dentist that would take my daughters emergency case. Dr. Fishman answered their phones ready, after I had been waiting 2 months trying to desperately find someone to help. We were able to get an appointment within 2 days! When we got there, every single person was exceptionally friendly, greeting us with a Good Morning! They're office had a fantastic system for covid-19 that made me feel safe and clean in a sanitized environment. Social distancing and masks were worn by all and parents waited for their kids from the comfort of their cars. When we were needed or updated, the Dr.'s personally walked out to the cars to address us. It was amazing! Just that little added touch of care, blew me away. We did x-rays, the consultation, and went right into her appointment to get her on her way to feeling better, which was such a relief! My daughter, being 4 and her first dentist appointment, got scared and became a little difficult in her chair, Dr. Fishman allowed me to go in there and calm her down so that we could continue our appointment that we needed so desperately. He addressed all of my concerns and made sure all of my questions were answered. The quality of care for his patients makes you feel like family. He and his staff are extremely good with children. I drove 1 1/2 hours and 63 miles for this appointment and it was completely worth it! The service, smiles (even with masks on), professionalism and care has been completely unmatched by anyone and anywhere I have ever been. I will continue to take my child to this dentist for the rest of her life! I am sold! Thank you so much for all of us parents that have been stuck in quarantine feeling completely helpless. You are the light at the end of the tunnel and I am so appreciative of everything that you did for me and my daughter today! See you soon! read more

Today was my youngest daughters first time at the dentist and it couldn't have went any better than it did! The facility was extremely clean and organized with plenty to keep my 3 year old occupied while we waited to be seen. The staff were all so kind and helpful, and Dr. Fishman was such a pleasure and he answered all of my questions and really made me feel comfortable with trusting him to keep my daughter's teeth the best they can be. So if you're looking for a pediatric dentist this is the place to make your appointment! read more

Scott Fishman, DDS - She did so good on her first dental appointment and even left with a smile as you can see. - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Downey, California

My daughter was treated today by Dr Fishman. This is my first time being here and I have to say when I first walked in it is a beautiful clean office with friendly staff. Dr Fishman took time to answer all my questions and concerns . When my daughter was getting her procedure done staff came out every 10 minutes to give me an update which I truly appreciated because I was a little nervous myself thankfully everything turned out perfectly Dr Fishman and his staff are truly the best I'm so happy to have met him and found a fantastic dentist for my daughter. Thank u Dr.Fishman ! read more

I really thought I wrote a review of Dr Fishman years ago so this long overdue. This is the third dentist my daughter went to by the time she was 4 or 5. The fist one didn't find the cavity I knew she had. They also scared her and threatened her by saying if she didn't stop crying they were going to make me leave. She was only crying because instead of cleaning her teeth they sat there and talked to a co worker and dropped all the instruments and made my daughter wait too long. The second dentist was an emergency visit when she and her cousin bumped heads and my daughter ended up with a loose front tooth. The dentist was great and patient but my daughter was just too scared to let her do much and she recommended a pediatric dentist that would orally sedate . I see that dentist now. I set off on yelp and my insurance to cross reference who had good reviews and who my insurance accepted. That's how we found Dr Fishman. From the beginning I knew he was going to be perfect. He was extremely nice and patient and the office was child friendly with a tv playing Disney cartoons and video games and tvs on the ceiling of the treatment rooms. He immediately found the cavity I knew she had but it had started to abscess so he made a next day appointment for extraction, basically a baby root canal. She got oral sedation when we got there and then we waited for it to take affect while we watched cartoons. When she was clearly intoxicated and we got enough videos of her Dr Fishman came to get her and we took her to the treatment room, strapped her down on a Papoose board so she was safe and got to work. She has a small mouth but regular size teeth so she had to get teeth pulled to make room for her new teeth all the time. She had spaces put in to keep the spaces open, cavities filled and later braces. It took a few years for her to finally be comfortable going to the dentist and even get a cleaning but she eventually did and I can't be happier. She's 16 now, almost 17 and she's had many things done but no cavities for years now and her teeth are beautiful. I can't thank or recommend Dr Fishman enough. read more

My daughter has special needs and Dr. Fishman and his team of other dentists and hygienists are the best with helping her. They made her feel very relaxed and everything was done very quickly and thoroughly. His waiting room is full of ipads for the kids and there's a TV playing childrens' programing as well. I cannot say enough kind things about Dr. Fishman - he's a great guy. read more

Dr. Fishman is highly recommend. He is professional, has great communication, and is personable. Works fabulously with children. Office is clean and comfortable, and is well staffed. We had a great experience and will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

Love our dentist of 8 1/2 years! Been treating my kid who is on the autism spectrum (Asperger's) with extra time for explanations and allowing me to be with my son through everything to keep him calm. Dr. Fishman also mentored a client of mine who recommended him to me highly -one dentist to another. The office staff are lovely and have stayed with the Dr. For years so you know he keeps them happy and is a good boss. I speak Spanish so I've over heard him explaining things to families in rudimentary Spanish and he was just the sweetest. read more

We went to two other dentists before settling on Dr. Fishman. He was professional, careful, great with our son, reasonably priced, and did an excellent job. Dr Fishman went beyond what was required to make sure that we knew everything we needed to in order to make a proper decision and did not suggest any unneeded work. The crowns he had to put on were so well blended that I often forget my son has them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Update: We moved not too long ago and REALLY wish that Dr. Fishman was still our dentist! He is the best! I actually considered taking a special 800 mile trip just to come back and have him do our child's next procedure. read more

My son is special needs and non verbal after several guesses finally figured out he had tooth pain and a cracked and part of a missing tooth !

Great staff too read more

When it was time for me to take my son to see his dentist again, we were so unhappy to find out that Dr. Fishman no longer worked at the office in Lakewood. The old dentist office was no help and were very rude when I tried asking if they could give me some information regarding the whereabouts of Dr. Fishman. He was my son's first dentist and he made a wonderful impression on me and especially made my son very comfortable and easy when he had his first dental visit. I was determined to find out if Dr. Fishman still worked as a ped. dentist. Good ole, GOOGLE.com, had helped me find him with a click of a mouse. Thank goodness for Google. So I called and a made an appointment right away and it was helpful that he opened up his new office nearby. By the way, the new office is beautiful and the staff is great. Dr. Fishman, thank you for being a great dentist to my son and soon I will be taking my little baby girl once she gets all her teeth in. :) read more

Dr Fishman is the best dentist for children you can find. I highly recommend him and his staff is equally professional and pleasant! All three of my kids love coming to the dentist! There's a play area for the kids to hang out, they text, and call to remind you of your appointments. They're awesome. read more

Dr. Fishman and his staff are professional and extremely nice! I have been coming to see Dr. Fishman for 9 years. I drive all the way from Glendora and it's totally worth the drive to bring both of my daughters. We are satisfied with the service and trust Dr. Fishman. I also love the fact that the office has an orthodontist on site. My oldest daughter will start her treatment plan with Dr. Gibson. read more

Ok so an update my daughter is now three and we have nothing but amazing things to say about Dr Fishman and his office!!! As a nurse I am very "particular"and I can't find anything to complain about. Dr Fishman himself is so great with the kids and so friendly and open to new mom questions. I have recommended this office and everyone is just as happy. The decor is awesome, the office is kid friendly with a kids waiting area to play and everything is CLEAN. read more

I was referred here by my general dentist because I have 2 little ones (5 years old). The first thing I did was looked at the yelp reviews and that convinced me. I called and spoke to Jacky she was very nice and although we had a few issues with my insurance she was very patient and helpful over the phone. I scheduled an appointment for my 2 sons. The day I went in the ladies in the front were awsome. Jacky, Irma and Noha. They answered all my questions. Especially when I had concerns about xrays for my children. The wait time was very reasonable. Unfortunately I do not remember the person who assisted with the xrays but she was very nice, sweet, gentle and very patient, she really made the boys feel comfortable. When it was time to see the Dr. She was great. She was very nice and made the boys comfortable. She answered all my questions and let me say I had many. Finally my son got his teeth cleaned by Maricela who was great with him. I would highly recommend this place. They are great with kids. This was my first time and it was a great experience. My son needs to get a cavity filled and the Dr. Explained the process. Safe to say we will be back soon for his filling. read more

Dr. Scott Fishman and staff are the absolute best! Both of my boys, 3 and 8 YO, are excited to go to their dental appointments. They know they will be treated with kindness and are told what work will be done on them and for what reason. We switched to Fishman Pediatric Dental Arts because Dr. Fishman is not only professional but personable. He makes the time to talk to parents about work necessary to prevent more dental issues. This past March, my 8 year old needed seven extractions due to not having enough space for new teeth coming in. To avoid having an overcrowded & imperfect smile, Dr. Fishman called my husband and I in to his office to explain what he recommended. To be honest, I was freaked out when he said seven teeth needed to come out. My thought, "Poor little guy won't be able to eat without any teeth for a while!" Dr. Fishman reassured us that teeth would come in within a couple of months. It is now July and four teeth have come in. He has top & bottom spacers to ensure all teeth coming in, have ample room. We are beyond blessed to have found him and are truly grateful for his knowledge & professionalism. Our family highly recommends him! From my boys: "Dr. Fishman rocks!!" ;) read more

Found Dr.Fishman here on Yelp. When I seen the reviews thought I'd give it a try. So glad I did! He's amazing and so is his staff. I have a highly active toddler and was worried about how he'd react. My toddler was able to get some of his energy out in the kids play area before going into see the doctor. Dr.Fishman and staff were so good with the little guy they were able to do x rays his exam and cleaning with NO problem. Thank you for making this worried momma feel comfortable in your office. We can't wait to come back in September. read more

Dr Fishman l, and his team, have been caring for my children's dental health for over a year now and I couldn't be happier with their gentle care for my children. They're a group of composed professionals that are expedient, loving and efficient when dealing from the most easiest to the most difficult cases. If it weren't for Dr Fisher and Nurse Jackie, my daughter would have lost her tooth. She accidentally took a wrong step, face planted and her adult tooth came out from the root. I called Dr Fishman and he assured me, with such care, that he will see my Daughter in 30 minutes at his office. He advised me to place the tooth in milk and meet him and his assistant at his office at 9pm on a Sunday night. Who does that? Only drs who really care for their people-- that's who! I'm eternally grateful that Dr Fishman and assistant Jackie responded so quickly to my daughter's emergency, and I'm sure they would do the same for any of their loving patients If it weren't for them, my daughter would have had more damage than a missing tooth-- the spiritual lift she got from their reassuring mannerisms gave her hope! Thanks again, Dr Fishman, Jackie and Team! Eternally Grateful, Lynn Blanco read more

I have been with Dr. Fishman for 13 plus years. He is truly a one of a kind person, Doctor and friend. I say friend, because in the 13 plus years that I have known him, he has offered up some of the best advise to all 3 of my boys and we have even shared parenting stories. Because of his genuinely kindhearted nature, his staff is just as amazing. I highly recommend him anyone who is looking for a pediatric dentist for their child. All 3 of my boys, ranging in ages 7-15, have never had a bad experience. Not to mention that his offices are beautiful and equipped with all of today's technology, to keep those who are waiting occupied. I can't say enough him and his staff, I just know that I made the right decision the very first day I walked into his office, with my 18 month old, trusting that his Dentist would have my son's fears put to ease and make it comfortable him. read more

People think that i am crazy for driving from Riverside to Downey ( hour +) away. BUT this has been my sons only dentist and my son has never had any dental pain after have several teeth pulled. Just recently he had 6 teeth pulled to make room for his adult teeth . He did not go in scared because he know Dr. Fishman from previous visits . Dr. Fishman has always been very honest and informative to what he was going to do, My son would ask questions and Dr. Fishman and his staff would answer in plain terminology so a 6 year old could understand. After each visit he goes home with a toothbrush, dental floss and mouth wash and of course stickers . On our drive home (Hour +) my son usually falls asleep in the car but wakes up like NOTHING happened. Its Crazy to think but its true and now all my neighbors in Riverside understand why we make the drive.. Dr.Fishman and Staff are so worth it.. Thank you all so much for taking care of my little boy. read more

I was very impressed with this dental office. Starting with the waiting room, it was really nice. Everything is newly updated and the kids waiting room is even better..huge big screen with a movie on, Xbox and a wii. Definitely good to keep the kids entertained until they have to see the dentist. Everyone was very friendly and kind. Especially to my 2 year old daughter, who is terrified of any kind of doctor. The person taking her X-rays had so much patience and was trying her very best to ease my daughters fear. Dr fishman is awesome. He seems like such a nice and caring person. He was great with my daughter. And gave me great advice. I'm so glad I found such a great dental office for my daughter. I just wish it was closer to home, but we'll definitely be making the drive to see Dr.Fishman and his staff :) read more

Our family loves Dr. Fishman. He's been our kids dentist from their very first dental visit. Over the years we have had to do some fillings and unfortunately even crowns. I am so confident in Dr. Fishmans work. The staff is great. Very prompt with insurance verification and calling for follow up appointments. The office is very clean, well designed and of course they have games, iPads on the walls, a TV and books to entertain the kids. Dr. Fishman is very communicative and always asks if we understand & agree with the treatment plans. He has always made himself reachable should we have a dental emergency. We would never, ever consider going to anyone else. He's fantastic! read more

Scott Fishman, DDS - My guy is a little nervous but our Dentist is super enthusiastic! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Downey, California

Long story short , STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. HORRIBLE !!!!!! Received a quote for 1,300 dollars on my 7 year old, of course they couldn't even take a look at her in depth without that amount being paid. 150 dollars for an appointment. Luckily I received a referral to another place close by and the price there was not even close to what these guys quoted with the insurance we have. Wanted to give 0 star, but was not possible. HORRIBLE!!!! read more

Dr. Fishman's Office is extremely busy and popular. Every staff member that we've met from the front desk to the back operations area is professional, always smiling and very understanding of the children that come in through their doors. However there is only one thing that you should know when coming to such a well established and popular place. The wait time can truly give you the worst experience if the staff didn't make up for it with their smiles. I took my daughter for a teeth extraction, assuming it was a quick process. We arrived before our appointment at 10:30am and were seen at 12:40pm only to be informed that the oral sedative would take another hour before we could be seen for the procedure which really took less than 15 minutes. Now just so you know, my daughter is 5 yrs old and was within reason fasting for this procedure so she had been starving all day. It was heartbreaking to watch and absolutely sad to be in this situation. She cried the entire day asking for food, but we were there simply waiting for almost 3hrs. I'm not sure if this is reasonable because I've waited in the pediatricians office for atleast an hour, but I feel any wait beyond 2hrs is physically painful to anyone with children. And it's pretty bad for the child as well. In this case I have 3. So I have been to this office 5 times with my children and each time we wait for no less than an hour outside and another 20min-30min inside. So if you have to go for dental care here it's best to plan to be excused from school either the entire day or to not have any plans with a set time. Another piece of information is that Dr. Fishman himself has never treated my children, he only checks their teeth and gives recommendations and then his staff member or another contracted Dr. will do the actual dental work. This always baffles me but thankfully the team of professionals here are all wonderful. They receive 3 stars for being accommodating and professional, but 1 star deduction is for the long 2 hrs we wait every time we come visit and for what I deem is a less conservative approach to pediatric dental care. I would also deduct another star for my personal experience with Dr. Fishman but in all fairness he does run a good establishment, my personal views on the practice can't make a complete judgment to give 3 stars. Finally in terms of their position in dental treatment, some establishments are conservative and some are very aggressive with treatment and in this case I think they are the more aggressive establishment. With my experience here it seems the very first thing offered for the younger children is sedation and/or general anesthesia. Dr. Fishman will not consider multiple procedures to get the job done at his establishment and will opt for having your child sedated for an hour to get everything done all at once. Admittedly it's convenient for both parties and science has proven that the procedures and the hired private anesthesiologists on site can make you feel more secure to leave your child in their hands, but once again medicine is "practice" and the pediatric neurologist that we've spoken to has recommended to not sedate children this young for any reason unless medically necessary and life threatening because the damage done is irreversible at this young age and medicine is still just a practice with changes every day or few decades. So what is considered possibly safe now isn't truly safe once more data comes out. For this reason, I was left with a taste of slight bitterness. I quote Dr. Fishman "I can not help a child if the mother denies treatment!!!" Simply quoted because I was not an advocate for general anesthesia. Everyone has to make their own deductions and even though I let my child get sedated for the first procedure she had (before I met a neurologist), this second procedure for tooth extraction was luckily just laughing gas. It seems this place is much too big and popular for small fry patients that might take up more time and I was accused of being a mother who denies her child treatment by Dr. Fishman. I will probably continue to come here for my daughter as most parents who bring their children since our records are already conveniently here. But if I know a better more conservative place, I'm sure their wait time would be even more worth it for me to change. Also overall experience for the cleanliness of facility, entertainment with iPad on the walls and movies playing in every room can improve the experience for the children. And that's what we're really paying for here. Children are less likely afraid of the dentist at this place but will wake up in a daze. Note: I forgot to mention that prior to this visit I had scheduled for all 3 children to have a teeth cleaning but Dr. Fishman refused to do the teeth cleaning unless I had agreed to treatment. So in a sense you can feel strong armed and guilted into sedating your child for cavity fillings or baby root canals. read more
