Cannot say enough positive about the whole team! My son is very timid at the dentist and they go out of their way to be accommodating and make it a positive experience for him. So grateful! read more

The doctor, hygienists, and nurses are great. Unfortunately, the front desk staff consistently seem less welcoming and not as well trained. For some reason, even simple interactions like scheduling the next appointment or asking a question often leave an unpleasant impression. read more

I have had such a great experience here. My daughter is 3 and has been coming here for a while. She is always comfortable and not afraid of the dentist which is a big deal, seeing as most adults are afraid. My 9 month old just had his first experience and it went great. They know how to treat and talk to kids. Waiting room has a good amount of toys to keep kids busy too although we never wait too long! Highly recommend. read more

Dr Shari Carroll and office staff are so kind and amazing! We have been visiting for the last 4 years. She sees my son who did not have the best relationship with dentist visit and now eagerly looks forward to it! Dr Carroll does an amazing job highlighting what kids are doing well and then addresses what can be worked on if necessary. She also saw my daughter when she was 3 days old to release a tongue and lip tie that were keeping her from eating sufficiently. It was so nice to go to someone so kind and trustworthy during such a new an vulnerable time. I cannot recommend Dr Carroll, her assistants and front office staff enough! You guys are the best! read more

Absolutely love it here. My daughter has been coming here for 2 years and we anticipate every visit. All staff members along with Dr. Shari are helpful and beyond friendly, and always aiming to make my daughter comfortable on every visit. Thank you all! read more

We have always had a great experience at Dr. Shari Carroll's office. We have been coming here for 4 years. They do an excellent job making my daughter feel comfortable during the cleaning. The office is really fun and they have a cute toys for after the cleaning. Highly recommend!! read more

Dr. Carroll is awesome. Her office is immaculate and very entertaining and clean for the kids. I'd highly recommend this dentist office for children. They have always treated my son with great care. Alll of the workers there are super friendly and accommodating as well. read more

Amazing service at the front desk as soon as I walked in. It being my sons first visit at the doesn't it's I was on pins and needles but my son felt like he was on a play date instead of a dentist appointment. When we were taken to the room they played one of his favorite movies to calm our nerves. Dr. Shari Carroll was amazing and made our visit quick and easy. Amazing service!!! We will definitely be coming here for years to come! read more

This place is amazing. The team is very nice , understanding and patient. Dr. Carroll was professional, fast and thorough. What a great experience. I am so happy that I finally found such an inclusive, wonderful dentist office for my children. read more

This was my daughter's first visit at this practice. Dr. Carroll and the hygienist were so patient with my daughter. Everyone in the office was nice and friendly. They made going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. read more

Everyone from front desk to dental assistants to doctors are very good with children. I previously took all 3 of my kids to one of those chain children's dentists that work off of volume and strap them down for a procedure which caused my oldest so much anxiety even when taking X-rays or cleanings. The doctors here were very understanding and reassured us that they do not use those methods. The office is clean and we never have to wait for our appointment as they honor the time they booked us for. Coming from those dental offices that book you for an appointment and you still wait an hour or more to be seen, this amazing! I am relieved that I finally found a safe place for my children. The office is steps from the beach so we always walk down to it as a treat after a successful visit. read more

Dr. Carroll was very patience with my little one. She made his first dentist appointment a great experience for both him and me. Thank you!

This dentist provides an AMAZING kid friendly experience. From the moment you walk in you're greeted by a sign with your child's name on it. There are some fun kid friendly games in the waiting room. The staff are extremely helpful and polite. My daughter needed to have a tongue tie snipped. This place was able to resolve the issue with very little fuss. If you're in the area and looking for a kid centric dentist I'd definitely give this place a try. read more

Took my daughter for her first visit at 14 mos. Had a great experience. Everyone in the office is very friendly and helpful!

Amazing staff! My daughter is fearful of the dentist chair (she won't say why) but nurse Stephanie was so patient and sweet to her. She was able to go on the chair and get her teeth cleaned and examined! Dr Carroll is so nice and sweet too. My daughter didn't want the fluoride but Dr Carroll talked her way through it! When we got back to the car, my daughter said next time I'm going to do better sitting on the chair! I'm so happy she's feeling confident after her visit. She loves her toy she chose from the toy closet (actually the Halloween basket haha) and remembers her second visit. I'm hoping she'll get more comfortable going to the dentist! read more

After deciding to find a dentist group that was in our insurance network, we were fortunate to find Dr Carroll's practice. What an amazing experience for our kids. Everything from the warm and calming welcome area (if you have a very little little, they can walk through the little door to the back-super fun!). The rooms are decorated adorably, and the cherry on top was the treat closet when they were finished. The hygienists were all very friendly and took good care of them allowing for a pleasant experience. The rooms also had headphones and video screens. We were able to get in/out quickly and the kids left excited to come back for their next visit! read more

I've used her before for my 2nd child. I was happy with her bedside manners, explanation, education, and recommendations. I went with her advice to wait out getting my child's posterior tongue tie revised and see an LC first. read more

We were going to another local pediatric dentist but after having a few issues there we found Dr. Carroll and it was SUCH a blessing. All 3 of our kids (12, 9 and 4) go there and each one has had nothing but positive experiences. From the moment they walked in, my kids felt welcomed and at ease. The waiting area was kid-friendly and the staff was incredibly warm and attentive. We have had the pleasure of working with multiple dentists, hygienists and staff and during each appointment, they demonstrated exceptional patience and expertise. They took the time to explain each step of the examination and treatment process, ensuring that my child felt comfortable and understood what was happening. Their gentle approach helped alleviate any fears my child had about visiting the dentist. My daughter chipped a tooth which grew a cavity and she is terrified of needles. During her filling she did not feel a thing and when they were fished asked me if they even used a needle! The office itself was spotless and well-maintained, which was reassuring as a parent. It's clear that the entire team prioritizes cleanliness and hygiene along with making it truly a kids space. The waiting room, examination rooms, and the incredible prize closet help make my kids actually want to come to the dentist! Overall, our experience at Dr . Shari Carroll's exceeded our expectations. She and the rest of her team truly care about their young patients, and their dedication to providing exceptional care is evident in every aspect of the practice. We're grateful to have found such a wonderful dental home for our child and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other families. read more

We switched to Dr Carroll from another dentist. I wish we switched sooner! My child has special needs and our previous dentist would not even try to get x-rays, let alone treat him for anything. Dr Carroll was incredibly kind and patient with my son. It was really night and day. I highly recommend her! read more

Dentists haven't been the best experience for my but Dr. Shari Carroll and her staff were amazing we had such a better experience. We look forward to future visits here. read more

This office is brilliant. Unfortunately, my kids are now too big to really enjoy how they cater to young children with games, TVs, toy closet and even the cutest little child sized door. They are so gentle with the kids, which is much appreciated especially for my nervous younger child. My kids actually do not fear the dentist. As the daughter of a dentist (out of state), I have to say that this is a truly great atmosphere and I'm not looking forward to the day I need to find them an adult dentist. I've not had much luck there and wish Dr Carroll could see me, too. read more

We absolutely love Dr. Shari Carroll's office! My kids get excited to go to the dentist! That's how fun the office is. The waiting room is amazing, it's practically like a kids museum. There are so many fun things to do while waiting. It's also extremely clean and tidy. We have never had to wait for more than a minute or two once we arrive for our appointments. My kids love that when we go to the back that there's a little door just for kids to enter through, it's a really cute touch. They also love picking out the flavor of their toothpaste, and they love that they get to pick a movie to watch while they're in the chair. The office is so bright and colorful and fun and beyond perfect for kids. The best part is each child can pick a prize from the prize closet at the end of their appointment. The staff is nice and efficient and the dentists are just wonderful. I could not recommend this dentist office! It is literally a fun experience every time read more

Amazing office. It was so well-designed that kids would totally forget they are here for dental check. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They sent out text messages and emails to do a pre-check in and appointment reminders with clear directions. Dr.Shari is very experienced with kids crying. Our son was not cooperative and screaming everyone's ear off, Dr. Shari still managed to clean most of his teeth. After the appointment is done, she patiently explained some things regarding toddlers dental health. Just as we thought it's done, she told our son to go out and pick a toy! It was a magical cabinet full of toys. Suddenly he forgot why he was crying and excitedly picked his first dental check "trophy"! This office totally makes toddler dental appointment so much less stressful, on the way home, he was all happy playing with his trophy toy. Several days later, we got a big bill -- just kidding! We got a card from Dr. Shari's office with stickers and kind words. So much thought putting in her patients, this office is absolutely amazing! read more

Dr. Shari Carroll is extremely kind and patient with both of my young boys (who have very different dental needs). She is respectful with our family's approach and gives reasonable and rational advice. The office staff is also extremely patient and helpful. They are a 10 out of 10! read more

I wanted to give a huge compliment to Dr. Amy, she was so patient and kind to me and my daughter Reina. She really has such a soothing and comforting voice and you can tell she really cares about her patients. She thoroughly explains everything to your child so they can feel at ease during the procedure. The dental assistant today, I did not get her name was very welcoming and accommodating to both my children although my son did not have appointment, she still catered to what he needed (i.e. toys or movies to be put on). I highly recommend this pediatric dental office!! read more

best dentist! such a fun and cute office for the little ones. super thorough. will be back!

We took our 2 year old daughter for a dental cleaning and check up with Dr. Carroll. The office was sparkly clean, and the staff was kind and inviting. The best part...no cavities! read more

Dr. Carroll is the most amazing pediatric dentist I have ever experienced! I raised three daughters with so many visits to the pediatric dentist. I know technology has changed but now taking my three grandkids to Dr. Carol what an amazing caring, gentle person absolutely no stress which amazes me 10 stars! read more

Took our 4 year-old and 17-month old for a check-up and a first appointment. We tried a different pediatric dentist but didn't really vibe with the office--so glad to have found this new practice, because Dr. Nicole and staff were absolutely lovely. Admittedly, we were a bit of a mess with the insurance (totally not their fault, it was on our end with Delta Dental), being late, etc. and not the easiest patients to deal with, but they were so helpful every step of the way. The level of care, concern, and kindness from everyone in the front of the office to the assistant Maricela was amazing. I really appreciated how thorough Dr. Nicole was in explaining my son's situation (he's missing some teeth) and gave recommendations on oral care with no judgment or scare tactics like some healthcare professionals resort to. As a parent, I felt totally supported by them, and most importantly I knew that my kids were in safe hands here. Dr. Shari and the team came highly recommended by my friend, and I know why. The office was clean and fun for the kids (it was hard to get them to leave!), parking was easy, text message notifications were convenient. So glad to have found a team that will keep my kids healthy. read more

Lots of patience and care for my little one who was a little nervous! Great staff! Fun and clean office and wait room!

We recently had to find a new dentist for our two-year-old twins because their previous dentist was no longer a preferred provider with our insurance company. We loved our previous dentist and didn't think we would be able to find someone equally awesome, but we were definitely wrong. Enter Dr. Carroll... As soon as we walked into the office, there was a personalized sign welcoming our kids to the office. Such a thoughtful touch! The office is super fun and the kids loved playing in the waiting room. My daughter loved the light peg wall, my son loved the bubble wall, and I found the small door for the children to enter through completely adorable. They really thought of every little detail when designing the office. Dr. Carroll and her staff were all very kind and patient with the kids. They took the time to explain what they were doing at each step, and enticed them with "tooth sparkles" and chocolate fluoride. Pretty sure the kids would go back every day if we let them. At the end of the appointment they received goodie bags, report cards, and got to pick a prize from the prize closet. My kids genuinely enjoyed their visits, and I feel so happy knowing that they will be in such good hands with Dr. Carroll! Thank you all for a wonderful experience! read more

Dr. Shari performed a lip and tongue tie release by laser on my little one when she was only 4 weeks old. We had initial consult first, where Dr. Shari confirmed the ties, asked about the breastfeeding difficulties and nursing symptoms I was experiencing, and explained the surgery and that we would have to do stretches afterwards. She videoed the stretches & showed them on us so that we would know how they felt and how much pressure to put during the stretches. We had a great experience here, and would recommend it to anyone! Plus, her office is one block away from the beach. read more

This is the cutest dentist office I have ever seen. They made the experience great for my daughter's first dentist visit. read more

I brought my daughter in a few months ago after some mediocre experiences at other practices in the beach cities. Dr. Carroll's office is in a great location, looks clean and modern and feels warm and inviting. But the highlight of the visit was meeting with Dr. Nicole. As a healthcare professional I know there are certain interpersonal skills necessary for work in this industry that aren't necessarily taught in school. Dr. Nicole has mastered these skills. She is clearly an expert in her field, but she was also able to explain everything that was going on in a way that my young daughter could understand. On the way home my daughter would not stop talking about how she wants to go back and one day wants to be a dentist like Dr. Nicole (yes, representation matters, even in the often homogenous beach cities). I'm sure the other docs are great, but just FYI Dr. Nicole is not in the office every day, so make sure to book early if you want to see her! read more

Dr Carroll is amazing. She and her staff made my wife, children, and I feel very comfortable with the tongue tie release procedure. She is very knowledgeable and explained in details the procedure. Her team was very welcoming and attentive. We have done two tongue tie releases with her and couldn't have been happier. We drive an hour to see her and her team because they go above and beyond with their service and care for my daughters. For any dentistry needs we choose Dr Carroll. read more

I went to Dr.Carroll after struggling for 3 weeks with breastfeeding my newborn. He had seen 4 doctors prior and no one could explain why his latch was so painful. I was recommended by my lactation consultant to see Dr.Carroll. I called at 9am one morning and explained to the front office staff that I was having 10/10 pain with breastfeeding and was recommended to come in for a consultation to see if baby had a tongue tie. They booked me an appointment for 10am that same day. Dr. Carroll was so nice and loving. The way she held my newborn let me know just how much passion she has for what she does. She examined him and showed me his tongue tie and lip tie! After applying a tiny bit of local anesthesia, She did the revision that same day! After the revision my son was asleep in her arms. No crying. No bleeding. He was able to nurse an hour later and wasn't fussy. She had us come in every few days for follow-ups to assure that he was healing properly. When we "graduated" she gave us clear instructions on how to assure my son would continue to recover/heal well and how to prepare and care for his new teeth. It took 2 weeks after the revision and working with a lactation consultant to finally get to a place where both me and my son could enjoy breastfeeding. I am so happy I went to her and I look forward to returning once my son has teeth :) Tips/good to know: the price for the revision included follow up appointments, she has a room for babies that's clean and separated from toddler patients, all staff are very comfortable with newborns, coffee machine in the waiting room, bathroom is very clean and has changing table and items you may need, there is meter parking on the streets or free garage parking attached to the building, the beach is a block away so great to go for a walk before or after appointment. read more

No wonder she has such stellar reviews- her office is AMAZING for kids. I've been stalling on finding a dentist and bringing my little guy in (just under 3 years old), but I kept seeing these amazing reviews for Dr. Carroll. I called them and set up an appointment. Walking in, they had a welcome sign with my child's name on it- super personalized. Their office is so bright and cheery, they have a basket of toys, puzzles, cars, AND a cool light wall that my toddler just didn't want to leave. Go into the back, and they have a separate little kid door JUST for kids to walk through. Super cute. In their rooms, they're all decorated kid-friendly and cozy. TV screens are mounted on the ceilings, so they can show your kid's favorite movie or show while they're getting their teeth cleaned. The technician spoke so well to my boy, showed and explained to him everything she was doing and what all the instruments were. Enter Dr. Carroll, equally warm and welcoming. I was so afraid that my kid wouldn't sit still in the chair, but he was perfect! At the end, they gave him a goody bag filled with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and other things PLUS gave him a balloon PLUS walked him over to a giant closet that had shelves full of small tinker toys that he could choose from. Is it all over the top? Maybe. But when your kid is young, and going to the dentist can be a scary thing (I STILL hate going to the dentist myself), every little touch and detail matters. My kid had such a great time at their office, he asked if we could go again the next day! Plus a few weeks later, we received a nice handwritten note from Dr. Carroll thanking us for coming in. Can't say enough good things! read more

If there is zero star, I will give that! Very bad services and charge additional without clear statement a couple of times. As a pediatrician dentist, cannot even pull out my kid's baby tooth but refer us to an oracle surgery, it's so ridiculous!!! read more

I took my 15 month old here for her first dental visit and was so impressed with their professionalism, cleanliness and ability to make my daughter (and me) feel comfortable. We saw Dr. Nicole and couldn't have asked for a better experience! She was so thorough and kind. I'm looking forward to bringing both of my kiddos here again in the future. read more

I was a bit nervous when it came to finding the right dentist for my kids. I was also nervous because I wasn't prepared to have to keep a 1 year old and a 3 year old occupied while they were seen by the dentist. My worries immediately went out the door when I walked in. This office is so kid friendly and the staff is amazing. They have toys and movies to entertain. My kids did great and we can't wait to return for their next appointment. read more
