I highly recommend! My toddler had the best experience & is no longer scared to go to the dentist. Unfortunately, the dentist we went to before did not do a good job and tainted our expectations overall. So I am very thankful to have found such a wonderful, caring and genuine place to take care of my childs dental needs. Thank you so much!

It was very welcoming and kid friendly. The staff there welcomed you and made you feel at home. The staff was very compassionate and caring towards my child when she got a tooth pulled, they comforted her. They also provided her some education on how to brush her teeth. I definitely felt comfortable when I left there. We have found a new dentist!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Pinkerton and her team. They are generous of spirit and have the nurturing heart that kids need. I feel at home and so taken care of when we are there. It is one of the businesses in Durango that is hitting it out of the park as far as customer connection and service. I feel blessed to get to have a team like this for the care of my family and their dental health.

My daughter had to have two primary teeth removed and our regular dentist sold his practice. We had to find someone to pull these teeth that my daughter would feel comfortable with. Durango Kids staff are fantastic: warm, welcoming and highly professional. Teeth were out in 30 minutes and they even managed to get quite a few laughs from the patient! Thank you!!!!! Tessa, thanks for working extra hard to get us in!

I had really hoped to like this place but unfortunately no.Our experience was not very good. Doctor and staff made us for guilty for the problems with our childs teeth. Procedure was very expensive and scheduled far out. After less than a year, two of his cavity fillings broke. Dentist who fixed it said it wasnt very good work. Would not return to this office.

Fantastic! They were so sweet to my little girl! Dr. Pinkerton is amazing! If your child needs dental work in the Durango or surrounding area, do your child a favor and make the drive.

Doctor was harsh towards me when I entered the room to comfort my baby neighbour. Also harsh in telling me not to touch the toys. I understand this pandemic is stressful but she could have been more tactful.

We have been going to Durango Kids Pediatric Dentistry for 5 years now and we love the staff and Dr. Pinkerton! They always explain what they are going to do, show the kids (and parent!) the tools and make everyone feel comfortable. The office is kid friendly, clean and comfortable. Wouldnt think about seeing anybody else!

I thoroughly enjoyed this office, the staff, and Dr. Pinkerton! They took the time and had plenty of patience for my 4 year old who is so scared of dentist offices. From the welcoming and fun sight to the hygienists awesome and calming demeanor to Dr. Pinkertons friendly face, we would definitely recommend this practice. Thank you!

I am very pleased with this office and their staff. They treated each of my children with love and compassion, while helping to congratulate them for having no cavities, and encouraging future success in taking care of their teeth! They are extremely respectful in my choice to not use fluoride and that was very nice of them, I have I been questioned in the past. Cant wait to see you ladies again!

This is the BEST Pediatric dental practice in the area! All of the staff are amazing with children no matter what ages they are. My oldest who is now 13 has been going sto this office since she got her first tooth and her siblings have also. It is super important for kids to have positive dental experiences to carry over into adulthood and my children have had just that each time they step though the door. We love all the ladies here! ❤️❤️❤️

My kids are 8, 13 & 15 and I have taken all of them to Durango Kids from the time they were little. Dr. Pinkerton is AMAZING and so is her staff. I am so thankful for them and how professional, kind and attentive they are with my kids. They love going to the dentist because of this team of amazing people and for that I am grateful. They have supported me and my family with dental care for a long time and I would HIGHLY recommend them.

They are always so sweet and kind to my kids. Very thorough and they give great information to us on how to care for our teeth. Clean waiting room and the rooms are very comfortable.

ENTIRE PRACTICE is a BLESSING ❤🤟!!! These women CARE deeply about every child who walks through their doors. Outstanding education for oral health to both children and parents/adults/guardians. DKPD is the most Uplifting, SAFE, CLEAN & thourogh dental/medical environment I have ever taken any of my 5 children. I have trusted Dr. Pinkerton & staff with my whole heart and all of my 5 babies since they were babies and now they are ages 4-15🤱. This team of women have completely flipped the stigma of going to the Dentist from a negative to a positive and FUN, educational experience. My kids gain confidence & beautiful, healthy smiles with every visit! THANK YOU DKPD!!! We love ya!

My son is absolutely terrified of the dentist, The staff and Dr. Pinkerton are amazing they make my child feel calm and relaxed.

We have 6 kids so appointment for us take up a lot of time. We love the staff here and Dr Pinkerton. I had some anxiety about a procedure a child needed to have done.

I would say that the durango kids pediatric dentistry is the best place to go because they take the tine to talk to you about your kids dental health and hoe to keep their teeth healthy and clean and cavity free and how to help you with your young kids at home on helping them learn how to brush their teeth and keep them healthy. I thank you for being caring dentistry.Thank you from the Peters family

Review №49

You know, this might be a good dentist office in terms of service, but I cant respect a place that bills for services that arent provided.When I took my 1-year old daughter there to get a check up, she had just gotten two teeth that broke through her gums and that was it. I was charged for an evaluation, which is reasonable. However, I was also charged for prophylaxis, which a big word for teeth cleaning. In the case of my daughter, they brushed her two tooth nubs for about 10 seconds and charged me $57 for that service.Give me a break. I try to support my local professionals whenever I can, but this is the kind of practice that indicates that this office doesnt care about their community members. Billing like this also leads to medical price inflation.Needless to say, I am going to find another dentist that gives their clients the care they deserve. Durango Kids, youve disappointed me.

I took my three year old daughter to Durango Kids Pediatric Dentistry last week for her first ever visit to the dentist. It was a great experience. They showed my daughter all the tools they would be using to clean her teeth and she got to hear the sounds the tools made which I think made it easier for her to relax. When they were cleaning her teeth they had a TV on the ceiling with cartoons on so she could watch. They also had headphones so she could listen. At the end they gave her a little prize and a goody bag with floss, toothbrush, and sticker. Dr. Pinkerton took a long time to go over things with us and discuss thumb sucking. I didnt feel rushed which I really appreciate.

Great dentist for kids (go figure). They have a video game in the lobby and give kids a toy in addition teeth cleaning items. Quick and friendly service. Their intake software was a little clunky and was quite a chore to fill out for my 3 kids, but not a big deal.

Fantastic care and great staff. Lets just call my son a threenager and hes not the easiest to handle when forced to do things... they handled him with grace and patience. Hes been going here since he was 18 months old, this last appointment was the hardest and they were amazing. Also very knowledgeable of any health questions you might have.

My two are Durango Kids because Dr. Pinkerton and her capable, caring crew give excellent, accessible, individualized oral health care to every kid who walks through the doors.

This place is horrible!!! For the sake of your children RUN. My son had a fear of the dentist and they made it much worse!!! They were yelling shut up at him and telling him he was just crying for no reason and he was being ridiculous. He was 7 years old!!! They knew they did wrong because when they came out all of the staff was standing close to me thinking after what aTHEY heard I as a parent was about to hurt the doctor!! Run!!! Cortez smiles has a wonderful dentist and staff it’s amazing

Called to make an appointment for my kids. The lady was rude when she asked what my insurance was. I told her, and she said that I had to make sure if my provider would pay for it. Makes sense, but she didnt need to be rude about it. Smiles for kids checked for me before I made the appointment. Thats litterally all she had to do, instead of have attitude when I said Id pay for it weather or not my insurance covered it.
