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

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!

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

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

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

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

Shari Carroll, DMD - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

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

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 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

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 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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

Shari Carroll, DMD - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

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 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

this was an amazing experience from start to finish with a wonderful , caring , very child focused dentist! highly recommend!

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

Shari Carroll, DMD - Dr. Carroll examining my son a few days after his tongue tie revision. - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

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

Can I please give it at least another 5 stars Yelp? Where do I start... super easy to make an appointment, friendly compasionate staff, super sweet and helpful. Plenty of street parking, great location a block from the ocean. Then I will begin with the Queen of pediatric dental assistantants MARISELA. Wow talk about patient, sweet, caring, she explained every single thing to my little guy who was at the dentist for the 1st time. Made sure he knew all the steps b4 they happened and introduced him to all the equipment she was going to be using and explained what it was for. She for sure is the tooth fairy. Then the Dr. came in to check up on the teeth, made a recommendation for Orthodontist check. I loved everything about our experience. Dr. Carroll you have a phenomenal team. Your office is so cute. I didn't hear not one kid crying or anything. The experience for my 1st timer was very positive. Thank you all for making it AMAZING! 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

Shari Carroll, DMD - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I took my kids here today for the first time and I was amazed! The energy in the space is inviting and contagious! Everyone was having fun and in great spirits. They made my children feel welcomed, safe and wanted. They had nothing but smiles about the experience. If I had gone to this type of office as a kid, I could imagine wanting to become a dentist. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Dr. Carroll was warm and just good vibes! I bragged to my husband about it and told him he has to take them for their next cleaning just to experience it all. Thank you all for such a wonderful time today. (Who knew I would I be so excited about the dentist) lol! read more

We LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Carroll and Esti! Both of my children had wonderful experiences as new patients and walked away asking when they could go back! The office is beautiful, colorful, fun, and kid friendly. It is obvious Dr. Carroll has drawn on her years of experience in pediatric dentistry to create a space that is perfect and intentionally welcoming and comforting to her patients. The waiting area has a huge wall-mounted lite bright, toys, comfortable seating, and complimentary la croix and coffee for parents! There's even a child sized door next to the adult door to go back to the exam room. My kids LOVED that touch. Each exam room has bright walls with surfboard TVs mounted on the ceilings for kids to watch their chosen movie during treatment. Dr. Carroll tastes every single thing she uses and chooses only the best, most kid-friendly flavors for her polishes and fluoride treatments. My kids chose chocolate. Esti did an amazing job polishing and flossing the kids and making them feel comfy and loved. She is extremely warm and put my previously dental-phobic daughter at ease during her x-rays. They got pics of every tooth and my daughter actually enjoyed the experience. I was amazed. They also have a handheld camera to use on kids who need to lie down for x-rays. My son was able to zone out and watch his movie while Dr. Carroll took his pics herself. I was also super impressed by how much time Dr. Carroll took with me to explain everything she was doing and what my kids teeth looked like/needed. She is so knowledgeable. It's awesome to see someone who is just really, really excellent at their job and has passion for it. She is an expert through and through. Great with kids and with parents! Other things: 1. Dr. Carroll also does special needs pediatric dentistry and has an awesome sensory room for her special needs kiddos. It was so cool! 2. She helps newborn babies who are tongue-tied and has the cutest lactation/consultation room. 3. THERE ARE FAIRY HOUSES ON THE WALLS. You guys!!!! 4. Dr. Carroll thinks kids should have positive feelings about their dentist office so they are more comfortable when they need to come in for exams. To that end she hosts fun parties just for her kids to come in and get used to the space without having anything to do with their teeth. My kids are pumped to go to the upcoming LEGO party Basically, you need to take your kids to Dr. Carroll immediately. You will be so glad you did. read more

Wow. I have TWIN 3 year olds and we went to the dentist. First time visit - and I was completely blown away by this office. The location was super convenient with free underground parking in the building. We went up an elevator and walked around the side of the building to enter through the main doors- don't miss this because there is a BUBBLE wall and a little welcome sign that had my kids names on it! Set the tone for the whole experience which was a WIN. We were welcomed, front desk staff was amazing and already called my girls by their names, made a big deal of how great the visit was going to be and invited them to play with the LIGHT WALL and race car track. Lots of awesome books and little toys too, and a table with some touch games on it. Office as impeccably clean and beautiful. Can not hear any dental equipment sounds at all. We were welcomed in by Dr. Carroll and we went to the open air treatment chairs, the staff and Dr. Carroll were BEYOND AMAZING with kids. Took tons of time to show them each part of the process. They were exactly what I had been searching for from a pediatric dentist. We got full check ups, teeth cleanings, fluoride varnish, and a trip to the toy closet. (they are THREE years old!! I had no idea they would be able to do all this) The open air chair situation. WOW. If you have twins, this is a game changer. We took two chairs, had simultaneous cleanings, then Dr. Carrolls exams done, and fluoride on in no time. We didn't have to debate who went first, who got which movie (They have flat screens mounted on the celling with headphones) etc. Dr. Carroll is so easy going, and she has a lot of options for kids with sensory struggles or dental anxiety, she asked how we wanted to set up the appointment. She also was open to going one at a time, same chair, two chairs, etc. A really welcoming way to give us some options. Dr. Carroll was so through and walked me through a discussion on proper toothpaste selection and some tips for each child's oral care. She was very open to questions and treated my girls so kindly. I hope we never need her for a dental emergency, but I sure am glad we have someone we can count on now if that need should arise. I encourage you to try this office, it is really top of the line in Pediatric Dentistry. BONUS: she has office parties (Princess! LEGOs!) every few months to let the littles explore the office and get more comfortable with the experience. What a find. read more

I have been bringing my daughter to Dr Shari for over a years. I think she is wonderful. They had my kids names on a welcome board when we arrived! And the waiting room was pretty amazing compared to the office I went to as a kid...lol. They had a bubble wall and a giant lite brite. They also had a little small door next to the regular door that was just for kids to use. They have surfboards on the ceiling with TVs for the kids. anyways, aside from the office, I am very happy having Dr Shari for my kids. She is a mom and I just felt like she was very easy to relate to. I never feel rushed out like I did at a previous office. Best of all my kids really like her and feel comfortable with her. read more

I went here because I heard amazing things about this office and I wanted my child's first dental experience to be a positive one, the assistant and Dr Sarah were great with my son (he is 3yrs old); however I left in shock, they gave me a $3500 minimum estimate for anesthetic dental work without taking x-rays- I was told this was necessary and never given other less aggressive alternatives; so I trusted them and paid a $300 deposit to book an anesthetic procedure because they were booking 4 months out and that I needed to do it, because my son needed it. I paid, and received the surgical date- I was never told this deposit was non-refundable nor was it printed on my receipt. I listened to my intuition and got a second opinion from another pediatric dentist that came recommended from the preschool and pediatrician; turns out my son DOES NOT NEED ANESTHESIA and does not need 4 fillings+2crowns and 2 root canals. If you go here and are told your child needs extensive dental work, do not pay the deposit and get a second opinion first. I'm now disputing the deposit charge because this office and Dr. Naftalin's office are not transparent about charges. If I wouldn't have gotten a second opinion my child would have undergone anesthesia for an unnecessary and extensive procedure. It's a shame that some businesses are in it for the dollar amount and not for the patient's best interest. read more
