Ok, so file this in the probably-shouldn't-admit-this-but-here-we-go-anyways.. Our daughter had her first dental visit here this week, and she's five. I think you're supposed to take them around two or three, but then the pandemic happened, life happened, and, well, here we are. She gets pretty nervous for the doctor, so she was certainly nervous for this. However, the friendly staff here is so experienced and so helpful that her first check up and cleaning went splendidly. No wait either, which is so nice because it cuts down any lingering anxiety. Our baby tagged along for the visit and they gave her some toys to keep her entertained. The dentist was gentle, explanative, helpful and overall great. Additionally, we knocked out all the insurance paperwork easily beforehand on their website. A highlight for my daughter was when they let her pick a toothbrush and a prize on the way out of the door. Glad to find our pediatric dentist in KCMO (without having to drive out into the 'burbs), and really recommend them. I was leaning towards just making an appointment at my "grown-up" dentist, but after seeing how thoughtful and geared towards children this is, I recommend them, or at least a pediatric dentist if you're seeking out what to do for your kiddo(s).

They didn't have a great bedside manner and I felt like they were pushing me into doing things just to make money off me. Then I discovered Dr. Aarons, and I'm sooooo glad I did. He and his staff are absolutely wonderful. They clearly love kids and know how to interact with them. They make us feel so relaxed and special when we come. They explain everything thoroughly and don't force us into products and procedures we aren't fully comfortable with. Plus, the office is gorgeous. I love great interior design and this place is so clean and warm and welcoming, and very kid friendly, with soft furnishings and bright colors. There's also a huge aquarium for hours of endless enjoyment. It's just my absolute dream come true for what a pediatric dentist office should be. I'd give them a thousand stars if I could!

The dentist kept it going and they were both sure to smother her in compliments. I felt the cleaning was smooth and thorough as well. The office is dated and needs some upgrading but it was clean and welcoming to children. There are fun walls everywhere as well as TVs. Once the visit is over they get a token to choose a toy out of a dispenser. Brilliant idea!

Oldest teen was seen for tooth pain and was told she had no cavities and to seek out an oral…read moresurgeon for 3rd molars. They took X-rays. Then two weeks later she went in for her 6 month cleaning. Dr. Leblanc saw her for a very short time and said she had two cavities. I called the office that Friday to get some insight on staff findings and wanted clarification on the differences between the two visits, only two weeks apart. They had two hours to call me back. They did not. I called with 15 min left of their work day and staff confirmed that Dr. Leblanc received my message and discussed my daughter's appointments. Yet they felt the need to skip out for the weekend and not return my call. We went to another dentist the following week and got additional X-rays. Guess what...no cavities and too soon to see an oral surgeon for 3rd molars. This dentist is rude, rushes and wanted to drill into my child's teeth for no acceptable reason.

I dreaded it for DAYS but when the moment finally came, I was stressed out yes, but the staff were super nice and friendly and I was eligible for gas which lessened my anxiety by A LOT. Also they always kept me in the loop as to what they were doing and I was never belittled or made to feel like I was an awful person (I am super self-conscious about my teeth) and they actually made a plan with me for future appointments. 100/10, the best dental experience I've ever had and they are GREAT with dental anxiety. Will definitely be going back. My only critique is the office in Lawrence is a liiiiittle difficult to spot if you don't know what you're looking for. But I'd say it's worth it.

The whole family just joined as new patients (based on extensive kudos from Angie's list) and they do everything about new patient intake well. Great with children too.

My second appt was a cleaning also with Dr. Jessup, I was happy with that as well, they were nice and informative. And I had zero pain during the cleaning. My third appt was to get some cavities filled by Dr Jessup, I had no issues with pain before the fillings but now am in a lot of pain and it's been 4 months since then. So I was not happy with that. I went in today for a cleaning from Dr Hutchinson, she was super kind and helpful on a plan to get my tooth to no longer hurt, she said that the filling I was given needed to be fixed and that should solve the pain. Overall I would definitely reccomend the office as the desk gals and hygienists are wonderful and so is Dr Hutchinson but I wouldn't reccomend seeing Dr Jessup. Also the location is kind of interesting to get to but once you've gone once it'll be a breeze to get to again. They do have a parking lot which I appreciate, and the office is very cozy and clean inside as well!

Apparently our insurance wasn't updated, which led to a very long wait and suddenly made us feel like we were trying to finance a yacht instead of a kid's teeth cleaning. I totally understand insurance issues happen, but after years of coming here, being treated like strangers trying to dodge a bill was not exactly the warm fuzzy pediatric dentist experience you hope for. So, friendly advice: triple-check your insurance before you go. They absolutely will not see you without it, and your child may have enough time in the waiting room to learn orthodontics themselves.
