My daughter had serious oral trauma from being intubated as a toddler, and with years of loving, patient, compassionate care they have turned that trauma around and we now have a girl who will literally trust them to do ANYTHING dental that she needs done!

Dr Christina left her own children for hours on a Sunday/Mother's Day to come in and replant the tooth, with skill and respect for my daughter throughout the procedure. The tooth is now thriving again thanks to multiple check ups and little interventions she has done along the way!

I chose this children's dentist based on positive reviews and decided to go out-of-pocket,…read moreexpecting a smooth experience. Unfortunately, after our second visit, things went downhill quickly. Our appointment was for our 1-year-old daughter -- a very simple visit with no X-rays or special procedures. Because I was paying out of pocket, I was supposed to be charged the full amount upfront, with insurance billing afterward for reimbursement. That did not happen. Weeks later, I received a surprise bill for over an additional hundred dollars. This was never discussed at the time of the visit and came completely out of the blue. While surprise billing is generally not allowed in California (with dentists often excluded), this felt like billing in bad faith. When I called the office to clarify, I was told I still needed to pay the balance and that because I had used a "coupon" on my first visit, I was "still getting a good deal." There was no apology, no acknowledgment of their billing mistake, and no accountability for failing to charge the correct amount initially -- just a demand for more money. I specifically chose this office instead of an in-network provider because I assumed they knew how to properly handle out-of-pocket visits. They clearly did not. Additionally, I was not given a choice regarding fluoride treatment for my daughter. She was only 1 year old, had no evidence of tooth decay, and there was no discussion about whether fluoride was necessary or optional. I believe parents should be informed and given the choice before exposing such a young child to fluoride, especially when the need is not clearly established. That conversation never happened. Overall, this experience was disappointing and frustrating. If you're considering this office -- especially if you're paying out of pocket -- be aware that you may receive unexpected bills weeks later and that important treatment decisions may be made without proper discussion or consent.

Such a Great Experience!…read more We took both of our boys to Little Cloud for their dental visit, and they had such a great experience! The office is absolutely adorable--the decorations are so cute and really make the whole place feel fun and welcoming for kids. The staff and doctor were wonderful with the boys and so gentle and patient. My younger son is only 3, so I wasn't sure how he would do at the dentist, but he actually had a great time! He was completely comfortable and left happy, which says a lot. It's so nice to find a pediatric dentist where the kids actually enjoy going. We'll definitely be coming back!

We were looking for a pediatric dentist for our children as we had been taking them to our dentist,…read morewho we love. However, we figured a pediatric dentist would be better equipped and outfitted for wiggly kiddos. I asked in a local Facebook Mom group for pediatric dentist office recommendations based on the needs of our children, and I saw overwhelmingly positive reviews for a few. From there, I took to Yelp and I saw the 5-star reviews for Little Cloud. I called them up, and the receptionist was so delightful and happy to answer any questions. They take our insurance and had openings, so we made our appointments. Now that we've had two cleanings there, it was time to write another all star review for them! I can't praise Dr. Rachel and her office enough! First off, they are easy to make appointments with and have their own private parking lot right in front. This makes everything so easy. Her staff are sweet and sincere, and joyful! When you're greeted, the energy is positive like not only are they happy to be there, but they're happy you're there too! That type of energy and atmosphere is exactly what you want at a pediatric dentist's office! The office is SO cute and well thought out! There's a fun light-up wall with knobs for the kiddos to play with, plus some more toys and books. The furniture is adorable with little cloud stools and a very cool light up cloud ceiling! I mean, this office feels straight out of Instagram/Pinterest! It's way too cute! However, the praise doesn't just stop at the office decor. Looks aren't everything, so more importantly, Dr. Rachel is such a pleasure! She's fantastic with children. She has great techniques to work on babies and nervous children. Fidgety kids? She has TVs mounted on the ceiling as well to hold their interest while she works. She has a fun bar where kids can pick their flavor for their cleaning. Every detail here has been thought out. Plus, she is so kind and informative! She tells you what she's doing and gives helpful intel and advice. Her office is very modern, and bright, with the latest gadgets to help her do her work smoothly and quickly. She also offers appointments where her specially trained therapy dogs can be present! The dogs are in the office twice a week. Our next appointment is when they're there and we're excited! Plus, after the appointment, kiddos can head to the prize wall and get a gapcha! So fun! Plus, on our first visit, they took a cute Polaroid of us to commemorate our visit, and the kids got some cute little items! I love the cloud toothbrush cover! Plus, my baby loved her cloud squishy toy! The entire practice goes out of their way to not only make you feel welcome, but to make the visit fun and enjoyable! This second visit, any nervousness was gone! It was the best dental visit my 6-year-old has ever had, and our 1.5's visit was also a breeze! I couldn't believe how well it went, and its a testament to Dr. Rachel and her team! This is the type of vibe I want when I take them to the dentist.

I went to another oral surgeon, Dr. Karas, who said he "...wouldn't touch me with a 10 ft pole" and told me to leave my 6 year old infection in my right lower back molar alone because if I try to pull the tooth, I will create a permanent hole in my gums leading into my sinus. Leave it until it starts hurting he said. I did for 2 years. I went back to my Oncologist and told him what Dr. Karas said. My Oncologist said his patients who are still on Zometa have their teeth pulled all the time without incident. He referred me to Dr. Gronbach. I cannot say enough about Dr. Gronbach. Not only did he pull the tooth (it's now been 4 months and is healing beautifully), but he listened to my whole ordeal, scheduled surgery and offered to give me general anesthesia since I was so scared, took 3d xrays and explained the entire process. It was the easiest surgery I have ever had and I did not have any pain. If I would not have found Dr. Gronbach, I will still have an active infection in my mouth. Dr. Gronbach is kind, intelligent, patient, sympathetic, thorough. Great bedside manner! He spent two visits going over what he was going to do and why. He even let me take pictures of the xrays and explained everything in such detail for my husband and I. Great oral surgeon - he will be doing all of my dental work from here on out.

I've been to multiple dentists before, and I can tell when someone is trying to upsell you because they don't want to deal with smaller jobs or potential problems. I understand that things can happen and that everything eventually needs to be repaired or replaced, but I really appreciate a dentist who is honest about what actually needs to be done.

This review is long overdue but I feel needed to help future parents who are considering Iron Horse…read morefor their kids.  Cons: I came to Iron Horse in the first place b/c of a bad experience at another dental office and was hoping it would be my "forever" dentist.  I was incorrect and should have trusted my gut. This place is very x ray happy and does so without your permission, consent or any heads up.  I had made it clear I wanted the x ray schedule to be more on the conservative side since we were coming from other offices who had also done x rays which I provided.  During the last visit I was there we weren't due for X rays for 6 months and I had to physically stop them from doing an x ray on my son that wasn't necessary (more nice to have).  I forced them to write on my file to get my sign off before doing x rays moving forward.  I also realized after leaving Iron Horse that they did a Panoramic X ray on my son which is only supposed to be done every few years. During another visit my son had a full set of x rays done for a routine check up and was told "he was fine and that there were no issues" by Dr. Hazel. 2 weeks later he returned to do sealant (something the office pushed that I shouldn't have done) and Dr. Hazel found a huge cavity in a previous filling that she said was "created in the last 2 weeks".  The whole series of events seemed strange b/c why didn't we see this cavity 2 weeks prior during the check up? Was the cracked filling created while they were doing the sealant? What are the chances of a cavity being created in 2 weeks? I was very confused and didn't get much clarity when I pushed for answers which didn't sit well with me.  This interaction + doing x rays without my sign off ultimately caused me to leave the office. Pros: Dr. Hazel is nice to the kids and makes the experience positive and the office has all kinds of fun bells and whistles to make it an engaging experience for the kids (massage chairs, toys, ipads etc..) At the end of the day if you're looking for a more conservative dentist who will only push required procedures, x rays and suggestions this isn't the place for you.
