We have been taking our son here for the past 3 years and every time we go everyone is so welcoming and kind. I love that they consider my sons feelings and dont force anything on him that he doesnt want to do or feel uncomfortable doing. The dentists, assistants, and the receptionists are all so kind.
I highly recommend taking your child here for a great experience. I will be taking my second son here as well soon!!

I'm so happy to find this dentist for my 9 year old son. We've been going for a couple of years after moving to the area. The staff are always great with ensuring my kid is comfortable and feeling happy. The kids focused decor and ceiling TVs are great for getting kids to relax. I wish they took adults!

From the first step in the office the doctor was very friendly and helpful and the office is so inviting and kid friendly. My daughter was very nervous at first due to other dentist offices not being very patient and understanding but this place totally made her love the dentist again the assistant that attended to my daughter was extremely nice, patient, and taking time to explain everything to her before proceeding with anything just overall professional, inviting and an awesome place we'll be seeing them soon. Dr. Fazeli has built a great team and fully recommend this dentist for kiddos.

Dr. Fazeli is our favorite pediatric dentist! She is so calm, welcoming, and professional. She was extremely patient when examining my 4 yr olds hurt tooth. I appreciated that she showed me the x rays and thoroughly explained the diagnosis. She was reassuring and I felt confident in her assessment and guidance. I appreciate she listened to my concerns and reassured me.

Dr.Fazeli and her team are incredible! We were with the practice before it changed hands, and the changes Dr. Fazeli has implemented have really elevated the care. She recently treated my three kids, accommodating their busy schedules and providing the best, most compassionate dental care weve ever had. I cant recommend Dr. Fazeli enough!

Dr. Fazeli and her team helped my dental phobic 6 year old through filling 2 cavities and I could not be more thankful. The office is set up with screens in the ceiling to maximize distractions and keep even antsy 2.5 year olds still long enough for a cleaning. The cleaning room is set up with several dental chairs and one long bench so if you have multiple young kiddos you can bring them at the same time- schedule win! Definitely a great experience with the whole team!

We started going to Dr. Sheikh when my son was 3 years old, he almost 7 now. My 3 year old daughter had her first visit last week. They offer top notch service. My kids love coming to the dentist because they know how to interact with little kids. They even have a little toy for them afterwards. I am very happy with the care and how they made each one of my kids feel. Very grateful that my kids aren't scared of the dentist. Hope Dr. Sheikh and his team stays here for years to come!
