    My kids love this dentist! The staff is very friendly and the office is clean and colorful. Dr. Fazilat is gentle and kind with both my kids. Even my son likes going to the dentist and he hates to even brush his teeth. I highly recommend this dentist office for children.

    I recently switched dentists as my kids seemed a bit uncomfortable going to see my dentist, who's wonderful, but doesn't specialize in pediatric care. I'm so glad I made the switch! Dr. Fazilat and his team were warm and welcoming upon our arrival. My daughter, who normally is so shy you can't get a word out of her, was talking and telling stories to the dental assistants the entire time. My son was mainly focused on the movie that was playing & picking out his prizes at the end. All fine by me-- whatever gets him to follow instructions! Everyone here was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic. My kids are already asking me when they get to go back :) Thanks Growing Smiles Pediatric Dentistry!

    ... The kids love coming here and seeing Dr. Fazilat and his team. The hygienist made the cleaning very fun for my kids where now they remind me to brush my own teeth as well. My little one was very nervous at her first appointment but over time she has become so comfortable and now just jumps into the chair and allows the cleaning and exam to be done without any fear. Dr. Fazilat answered all my questions about what to expect as my kids get older and the health of their teeth and possible need for braces. They get great prizes afterwards as well which makes it even more exciting for them. ...

    ... The office is beautiful and colorful with a lot of distractions to keep my kids happy and feeling safe. The hygienists are very good with children as well. They are friendly, they make them laugh and always ask them about their day. Strage enough my kids dont want to leave when they are here.
    A big thank you to Dr. Fazilat who is also extremely knowledgeable of how to manage children he explains everything to us and to the children. Most importantly I am very much appreciative of their approach to dental care. I find that they do not do unnecessary procedures. Dr. Fazilat makes notes of potential problem areas and when appropriate he says let's keep an eye on it instead of saying hurry up and lets do an expensive procedure. ...

    The dentist and his staff really know how to talk to kids; they use kid-friendly language, e.g. "we'll take pictures of your teeth" instead of "we'll take x-rays of your teeth", etc. They are super friendly and they don't push you to do everything the first visit. They really ease the kids into LIKING going to dentist - they want the first experiences to be good, so that kids don't dread going to a dentist.

    The most friendly and professional office staff I've ever encountered. Clean, well organized, and kid friendly dental office. They always know us by name, and really cater to all little personalities, which makes for a pleasant check up. There are movie screens above each chair, and they have a variety of movies for all ages. The toy box is also a favorite.
