My daughter and I love this dentist. They are so kind and easy to talk to. My daughter didn't even want to leave. The first time we came here I was surprised that my daughter behaved very well and the staff was great with her. Highly recommend!!!!!!

We have been going to Dentistry for Children for years after having a traumatic experience with one of our girls. Dr. Maher and her team are so patient and understanding. My girls love to get their cards in the mail letting them know how they are doing, and coloring pictures for them to bring with them to hang up. The girls like to see their progress on their teeth and see how far they have come. We look forward to seeing them every 6 months for cleanings

We have been taking my son to Dentistry for Children for almost 3 years now and we always have a great experience. The staff ensures he is comfortable throughout the visit and he's always thrilled with the prizes at the end of the visit. Dr. Maher is very attentive and takes the time to explain any concerns.

Everyone in this office is kind, considerate and compassionate. Dr. Maher is a truly a blessing. Before we began taking all three of our kids here my son started with an ache from his tooth. I called multiple dentist and Dr. Maher was the only one willing to see our son asap. My husband brought my son to his appointment and met Dr. Maher before I did, along with everyone in this office. After that visit, he called and told me how great it was in there. They gave him advice and tips on ways to keep their teeth the best they can be. Fast forward a couple of years later and we still love this office. They make every one of my kids feel special. It’s a one of a kind place. I would recommend this office to anyone with children wanting to give them happy, encouraging dental care.
