My timid 4 year old got his teeth cleaned. I was worried about how hed take it all. But the technician that cleaned his teeth was so thorough with explaining everything. She helped him be comfortable. I was astounded and so grateful.

We had the best experience here! One of our kids has some extra needs and sensory issues (feeding tube). They were so accommodating and explained everything to him. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

My kids love this dentistry. I drive 30 mins to go to the Cleveland location. They do a wonderful job explaining things to us and our kids. They are great to work with and they love their jobs. We have never had a problem getting in quick and not having to wait a long time in the waiting area. They have it set up in a jungle theme that the kids enjoy finding new things every time we go. Thank you for your crew and everything you guys do.

My children love going to the dentist because of this office. From the time you walk in the door, they immediately make you feel comfortable, and we have never had a long wait. The office staff are kind, friendly and helpful. Each hygienist we have seen have been gentle with the children and make them feel completely at ease. Dr. Fred is the best. He has always been great with the kids and answers each and every question with patience and wisdom. While the kids are waiting, they can play games or stare out the window at Lookout Mountain! Could not ask for a better Pediatric Dentistry!

Incredible group of dentists and staff! Our girls feel extremely comfortable each time they visit! We feel that any recommended treatment is practical and in no way pushy.

My son goes there and has been going since he started getting teeth! He has a heart condition that they are very aware of and don’t hesitate to take the extra precautions with him. They are great with him.

Pediatric Dentistry of Chattanooga is the best place for pediatric dental care, in my opinion. I have 3 very sensitive, shy children, and the staff has always been extremely patient and wonderful to explain everything before they do it, so the kids feel more at ease. I also have to sing Chad Eslingers praises. He is very personable and friendly. I received a bill in the mail for some dental work my daughter had done, that my insurance apparently didnt cover. I called the office to get more details, and they said Chad had already written it off. I was so relieved! We plan to stick with PDOC as possible!

Took my 18mo son for a check up and the staff was great. The office is so inviting and great for kids to play while you wait. We didnt have to wait more than a few minutes before seeing the dentist. I LOVE that the whole office in the back is open and very comfortable for kids. Dr. Fred was so great and patient with my son and took the time to ask my son to open his mouth and played with him to make him comfortable. Definitely recommend!

Pediatric Dentistry of Chattanooga is the best! Dr. Fred and all the staff are so friendly and efficient. They always run on time, which is a plus. My grandson has been going there since he was old enough for his first exam. Dr. Fred and staff have always made his visits pleasant, which means he has never been nervous! Five stars for sure!

We have 3 kids that absolutely love Dr Fred and the staff. They make them feel comfortable and they actually have fun at the dentist. I feel comfortable taking them because they keep me informed about the health of their teeth. And answer all of my crazy dental questions!!Also scheduling is easy and they work around our busy multiple kid life!

Review №15

My kids beg to go to the dentist! It’s so weird, considering I was deathly afraid of my dentist growing up, but nevertheless true! They live the movies that they have in every location conceivable so they can turn into instant zombies and care nothing about their teeth being worked on. They love the rewards, the beautiful and immaculate kid friendly office and staff. They also love that I can be with them the whole time. The staff are very helpful, efficient, friendly and great with kids. 5 star service! A+!

You know when your children love going to the dentist, that youre at the right place! The entire staff has been more than helpful with all of our dental needs. With 4 different office locations and numerous appointment times we find it easy to get in and out and leave with a smile on our childs face! We cant recommend Pediatric Dentistry of Chattanooga enough!

My kids love to go to the dentist! This is something I am happy I can say as a mother. Dr Fred and his staff are AWESOME! We recently had an emergency visit to the dentist and the staff worked us in and my child saw Dr Chad and I was very pleased with the experience. I absolutely recommend this dental office.

Review №18

As a mom to an autistic son the dentist can be a challenge but the staff is always patient with us and does everything they can to make his visit as easy as possible. Some appointments go better than others but they are always willing to give him the time he needs to feel comfortable and never force anything on him. We appreciate all of the staff here for their help in making the dentist a less scary place for our son.

My 4 year old has Down syndrome and is pretty scared of going to the dentist. We have been every three months for the last year and a half working on getting her comfortable with them. She hasnt really let them clean her teeth very well yet but they are getting closer. They dont push her too far to make her uncomfortable! We love Pediatric Dentistry of Chattanooga!!

My 5 year old daughter and I love everything about this place! Staff is friendly, everything is super CLEAN, and my daughter has never been afraid or said she doesn’t want to go to the dentist!! The worst part of our visit is when she has to decide which of the many choices of toys to take from the toy box after her appointment...wish going to the dentist was this much fun as an adult!

Review №22

Dr. Fred is my daughters first dentist. They were so great in calming my nerves at her first appointment and so great with her. I didnt think twice about letting her go back by herself at the next appointment. My daughter flipped out at the end and they were great calming her down. I cant imagine taking her anywhere else. These are amazing people!

My husband saw Dr. Fred as a child, and now our children are seen at the same office! Dr. Fred and Dr. Chad have both been fantastic with our kids. I love the fun colors and the many distractions that the office offers. It helps to keep the kids occupied and not worrying about their visit.

I knew this dentist was great when my children would walk in or out of the back room with a smile on their faces, even after getting fillings or teeth pulled! They have a way of comforting the children which is a huge comfort as a parent! They are also very thorough which is important!

My two children have been going to Pediatric Dentistry since they were 2. It has always been a very positive experience for them and they have never dreaded going. I love that this sets them up for a lifetime of caring for their teeth and making dentist visits a regular experience throughout their adulthood.

My 10 year old loves it at the downtown location and has been going here for years. My 2 year old went for her first cleaning in May and absolutely loved it. She didnt want to leave and after we did, she begged to go back. Dr. Fred is phenomenal and we couldnt ask for a better dentist or staff!!

Review №34

My daughter is a child that doesnt normally go anywhere without me. However, the staff are so friendly and welcoming that she went right back with them without any issues. She is the type of child that will not let you pull her teeth but walked right in and let them pull it with no issues. We have been using Pediatric Dentistry of Chattanooga for 4 years now and wouldnt even think of going anywhere else!

Review №35

My son recently had his first scheduled cleaning and check up. After being with the same dentist all his life, I was afraid the change would be difficult. However, he had nothing but good things to say about Pediatric Dentistry of Chattanooga. He said the office is “cool” and shared meaningful information about his dental hygiene when he got home. I appreciate the technology and the hygenist’s Cate and concern - highly recommend

We visit the Fort Oglethorpe location & have been very pleased. My daughters love the TV’s above the exam chairs, the sugar cookie “toothpaste”, & the jungle decor. I like how the staff is always attentive, the dentist meets with you after each visit, & they try to work with you4 child’s schedule (they even asked about state testing days!).

I began taking our oldest daughter to the dentist at 3. Health is our top priority and I am grateful for routine cleanings in a child friendly atmosphere, thus eliminating fear. Wed already built a relationship with Dr. Fred, whom we adore, when we were last seen by Dr. Eslinger- also great! The entire staff is always warm and welcoming and I look forward to introducing our infant to routine dental care at this location.
