Dr. Lauren is amazing. I have genuine shame when it came to my son's gazillion cavities but not…read moreonce did she let me feel it. She gently educated me, came up with a plan & made it manageable over a course of 1.5 months. Then 6 months later, my son maintained cavity free! The experience of this journey has inspired him to take care of his teeth. This is the greatest gift you can give a child. Education, learning, betterment, self improvement. My son only loves drinking water & doesn't consume a lot of candy, but Dr. Lauren taught us CARBS!! Carbs is a huge contender of cavities & that was a huge eye opener. My son will also have a do-over as all of his cavaties are on his baby teeth, the experience has been invaluable & something I will advocate for & cherish forever. Thank you so much Dr. Lauren! I am going to miss you & the office dearly!!

My son had his first teeth cleaning at this office and our experience went very smoothly. I had…read moreexplained to him beforehand what he should expect so he felt somewhat comfortable with it all. Obviously there is more than one assistant doing the actual cleaning so one person's experience may differ from the next, but overall this is a great kid-friendly location for first-time patients. As you walk in, the children are welcomed with an open play area so they can automatically entertain themselves while the parents sing in and fill out paperwork. There was also a tv in the room but a movie wasn't playing, I'm assuming you would have to ask for assistance if you really wanted something put on for your child to watch. But our wait time was too short to even bother because as soon as I finished filling out the paperwork, we were called back for the teeth cleaning. My son was extremely cooperative and seemed very much at ease with getting his teeth cleaned so the assistant didn't need to calm him. I did notice other assistants offering sunglasses and chapstick/vaseline to other kids for their dry lips before starting the process, which wasn't offered to my son, but no big deal. Just good to know that it's available in case you want to have for your child. It was nice that my son was able to see/touch the cleaning brush before the cleaning started because the sound caught him off guard. But once he saw it was just like his battery toothbrush at home, he was comfortable again. After the cleaning, I was asked if I wanted to get x-rays for him and since it was his first visit, we got them done. Once the images were taken, Dr. Niethamer went over them with me and answered any questions I had. He is definitely very friendly and professional. Before heading out, my son was given a "goody" bag with a toothbrush, dental floss, stickers, and a treat of his choice from the Christmas tree they have in the room with little toys/surprises for the kids.

The waiting room was full of toys and she was instantly at ease and loved playing. The dental assistant was kind, gentle and talked to her at her level. Dr. Steve got the job done without making her cry or scarring her for future appointments. When their very quick exam was done, an employee took her to another play area where she played, colored, got to pick out a toy to keep and stickers. By the time I was done talking to the dentist and making her next appointment she almost refused to leave! I am so glad they are close by and so great with children.

My dental problems were the proverbial "frog in boiling water" type, having gradually gotten worse and I just had learned to live with discomfort and pain, not being addressed or listened to by other dentists. She listened to what I had to say, was friendly and knowledgeable (having studied in 3 countries!), and worked inside my mouth with gentleness and thoroughness I've never experienced. The result is a PROFOUND freedom from soreness and pain, a much better alignment, and a better ability to chew than I've had in years. Amazing! I'm so impressed, and I don't impress easily. Definitely recommended!

Because I like Dr Chien and Tiffany, I will overlook the sanitary conditions and trust my body's immune system. Dr Chen is my go-to dentist for emergencies and a couple of extractions. No pain, no problem. I ran from other local dentists the moment they thrust a hundred pages of forms to fill out, along with cold premises and cold people. I so miss going to to Mexico! but no longer possible to make that drive. Very grateful Dr Chien's office is nearby and easy to get an appointment, no fuss.

This place is amazing!!!!…read more My little one was referred from our normal dentist to have dental surgery with Dr. Lauren (I was so at peace knowing he was in her care). Later that evening Dr. Lauren actually called me (at home) to check on my little one and to see if I had any questions - who does that any more? I love this place and ended up making her my primary dentist for all my kids. Also, for the surgery they had another board certified anesthesiologist in the room; he was also amazing and they both explained everything super clearly. Just a heads up that this is one of two locations Dr. Lauren owns and works with, the other is in the Yucca Valley / Joshua Tree area. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate knowing that we found an office, staff and doctors that care about my kids so much! Here's a list of things you're probably concerned about that I found reassuring: 1) No, they don't overcharge or try to upsell you! 2) Yes, Dr. Lauren is Board Certified! 3) Yes, this is the office that other dentists send their toughest cases to! 4) Yes, they'll put your child's needs first. 5) Yes, this is also Dr. Steve Neithamer's previous location (someone who I heard was really the business before he retired); it's good to know that he still occasionally works in the office and more reassuring to know that he also trusts Dr. Lauren :) 6) Yes, their staff are the ones that do the free informational sessions at local schools and volunteer at local events! Overall, I'm not sure what it is, but there is just this sense of a professional, positive and fun environment. Probably because they all just love what they do. Either way, I can't say enough, knowing that some folks travel over 100 miles or more to see Dr. Lauren and knowing that she is a Diplomate and a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist, remind me that she's very, very good at what she does and can handle very unique cases as well as the day-to-day check-ups. So lucky to have them close by! Thanks to everyone there!!!! We love you guys!!!

We had a really good experience here. We hadn't been to the dentist in a while and was honestly a little nervous going in, but the whole team made it easier for us either from booking a first appt to coming back for future visits. The front desk was friendly and amazing! the wait time was short, and the dentist explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Made me feel at ease knowing the kid's will be at the right care. The cleaning was thorough but gentle, and they checked in a couple times to make sure the kid's was comfortable. The office itself was very clean, kid friendly, and organized, which we appreciated. Overall it just felt like they genuinely cared about their patients, not like we was being rushed through an appointment. Definitely glad I found this place and sister Portia from our LDS church recommended. We'll be coming back for any future visits. Our must have dentist in the valley.
