Hear What Our Patients Are Saying:

My son went in for his first appointment at 20 months and everyone let happy! Everyone we came into contact with was polite and professional. The office was clean and nicely decorated. It was kid friendly from top to bottom. They had great recommendations on how to keep his teeth healthy and explained everything in depth. Dr. Gardner was quick to see him and patient the entire time. You can tell this man and his staff have a heart for kids! ❤️ My son had an amazing experience due to Dr. Gardner and his incredible staff. I highly recommend them.

I took my three year old to Gardner Pediatric for her first dental check-up, and I was very impressed with how good they were with my daughter. They were very patient, and they made sure she understood everything they were about to do before they did it. Everything is very kid friendly. I also had my 4-month-old with me, and they were very accommodating to let me nurse him in the exam room after the appointment was over. We had a great experience.

I started taking both of my kids to Gardner after being referred by our normal dentist. Every one is very kind and the atmosphere is relaxing for the kids. Dr. Gardner takes the time to explain what needs to be done. I have one very anxious child, and he likes this dental office better than any of the others. Every experience has been a good one. The only drawback is how long it takes to get in for an appointment, but I get it because he is so good, as are the hygienists!
