Hear from Happy Families

Jennifer K.

We had a wonderful experience at RVO pediatric dentistry! They were very patient and caring with my daughter. They walked her through every step of the process as they were cleaning her teeth. My daughter was thrilled when Morgan stuffed her a unicorn toy, with their own stuffing machine, at the end of the appointment!

Kimmy N.

Our pediatrician (she is awesome too!) said it was a great time for my son (turned 3 earlier this summer) to go see the dentist and recommended RVO. This was going to be his first dental appointment, so I was not sure how it was going to go…but WOW! I would recommended RVO to everyone! Everything was 5 star about our experience—from the phone call to make the appointment to walking out the door grinning, with our “dentist buddy” in hand! (See picture!) Everyone was so nice and my son was extremely receptive to the environment they created. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better first dental experience for my kid! 10/10

Laura W.

We just brought our 2.5 year old daughter here & absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in we felt so welcomed & everyone was so kind. There was an area for my daughter to play while we waited & we were quickly called back. My daughter was very nervous & definitely was not a fan of the teeth brushing, but the dentist & hygienist were both so gentle and kind with her while encouraging her as they went on. They took interest in her interest, and got on her level to interact with her. I am so beyond pleased with this practice! We can’t wait to come back and refer our friends!

Ryan K.

Dr. Shreya and her staff are exceptional! They are so welcoming, and our little one gives Dr. Shreya a big hug every time he sees her! They always take the time to make sure our son is comfortable before they begin his exam, and are incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. We know our son is in good hands under their care. Thank you for everything you do!
