My children have been coming here since we moved here 2 years ago! I really just cant say enough great things! When anyone is looking for a pediatric dentist, I always refer to them! They are truly THE BEST with children, and mine are always excited to go. Thank you for the amazing care!

Ive been bringing my kids here for quite some time and Ive never had any problems. Very professional. They didnt skip a beat at all when the pandemic started and they continue to be safe and accommodating. Theyve always been very good at making sure little ones are comfortable and not afraid.

Office staff was kind and friendly, except for the dentist, Dr. Anderson, whose demeanor I would describe as cold and impatient.I will be taking my child elsewhere in the future.

Small to Tall pediatric dentistry was by far the best dental experience Ive ever had. My very anxious 7 year old daughter felt very comfortable with Dr. Craig and insisted on sending her a thank you card after two difficult procedures that felt like a breeze thanks to the delightful staff, Dr. CRAIG and Dr. LEE, Anesthesiologist. Thank you!!! We look forward to the next visit! (Never thought I would ever say that about a dentist!!!)

I am extremely picky about dentists especially when it comes to my children. This dentist office is truly remarkable. They cater to the youngest of children to the teens. They have a play area for the children to play so you are not sitting in a stuffy dentist office. They make it so comfortable you are at ease. Books for those little ones that want to read. One of the scariest things for children is the dentist office. Heck for that matter is is the same for adults. These people nailed it. Not only is it fun for the children but they make you feel welcome. They are extremely informative about what they are going to do. Everyone makes you feel at home. Friendly smileing faces is a plus. They offer surgical procedure for you at the facility and they can also send you out to hospital which is just next door. They take most all insurances and will work with you. At the end of your visit they give you tokens so your child can receive a toy. I have brought one of my children. I will be bringing two more. I wish they had something like this when I was growing up. Great establishment.

Small to Tall is DIALED IN. From scheduling our first appointments, taking my nervous-about-sugarbugs-kids (I have four) into a new place and being welcomed and treated with dignity, walking through x-rays and exams, and visiting the treasure box drawer filled with sugar-free gum...all of these moments added up to a supreme first experience for our family. Dr. Ruder was attentive, funny, and engaged so well with my kiddos. You will love Small to Tall! Im someone who really cares about the details and there is an attention to all of them at this practice. Really happy!

This is where I take my kids- and I know a thing or two about dentistry. Very impressed with the quality of care provided by board certified pediatric dentists. I also learned that much of the water if Thurston County isnt fluoridated, and they prescribed fluoride supplements at my request.

I can not thank you all enough. Everyone went above and beyond to help my daughter. Best children dentist!!!!

Everyone is very friendly and great with smaller children. My baby had to have a little more complicated procedure but their team explained everything to me and the anesthesiologist personally called me while I was in the waiting room to update me o her well being and go over after care. Highly recommend!

My son who is 5 and my daughter who is 7 have been going to Small to Tall since they were 2. The front desk staff is wonderful, as are the hygienists Tiffany and Taylor! They are both so very patient with my kids and make them feel comfortable. We love The docs here too! They always take the time to explain details of what is going on with the kiddos and then the office staff, Kara has been great at reviewing our treatment plans! Thanks for being wonderful!! They always send text and postcard reminders which I very much appreciate!

Was super excited to go to such a great rated dentist for my daughter. However her very first appointment, she was to sick to go, instead I ended up taking her to the ER without remembering to call to cancel. They wont accept her now. What a way to give a mother of 3 a second chance! Ill take my kids to a dentist office that understands certain situations and doesnt rate me by how many lazy parents make an appointment and just skip for no reason.

The entire team here is calm, thorough, and gentle towards my three kids. They make the entire appointment age appropriate which results in an overall great experience for the whole family. They are professional and extremely nice. I recommend you bring your kids here. You will not be disappointed!

I take my two boys, 2 1/2 and 5 to Small to Tall Pediatric Dentistry and I highly recommend it to anyone with children! The new office is beautiful and inviting. The tree house in the lobby is so much fun for the kids to play in! Our favorite assistant is Jessica. She is so friendly and sweet and knows just how to calm our boys when we bring them in. Weve seen all of the dentists in the office and they are all great. Their mannerisms with children help keep them calm and unafraid. Small to Tall is the best!!!!

I am a doctor and a mother so am particularly sensitive to office flow and experience. This office is remarkable from front to back. It does not matter which doctor you see or which assistant. They are all very much informed on your child and his/her unique needs.They are truly looking for a long term patient base and take the time in early visits to go slow until the child is very very confident and comfortable.The office is lovely, convenient and welcoming but it is really the long term staff ( most have been with the office for 10 years or more and many were once patients themselves !) who make the experience so comforting.We have been there now for several years and look forward to at least 10 more!

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ruder as well as the rest of the staff. They did everything that they could to make sure my child was covered and cared for. I cannot express the gratitude I have for this office enough. What they did for my daughter gave her confidence and helped her feel as beautiful as she truly is. Shes no longer afraid to smile, and no longer afraid of the dentist. The way they cater to the children even in the word choices they make are amazing. Thank you Small to Tall Pediatric Dentistry for the care and compassion you showed my child as well as how it was extended to my husband and I. I am now in the process of getting my grandchildren set up here, and knowing that 2 generations of my family will have been taken care of by this office is awesome and we will continue to come to them for all the oral health care they can help with.

They are the BEST!! So patient, attentive, and friendly. They are invested in their community with the fun member events that bring families together 🙌

I took all four of my kids to Small to Tall their whole childhoods. They loved the care there so much, two of them became dental assistants and one of them works at Small to Tall now. In the 20+ years I took children there, I have never had a single complaint. My children were treated with kindness and compassion, and I was treated with respect while having every procedure explained fully. I now have grandchildren who go there, and love the place and the people just as much as their parents did.

I am super gateful for the compassion, caring , skills, expertise, and outstanding friendly staff working with our family and our son with Autism. Thank you so much for many years of helping our children with dental work. I give 5 star for best dentistry ever. Each experience had been nothing but positive. Thank you for helping my son have beautiful teeth today. Amazing Dentist, amazing staff!! Feeling grateful:) so lucky to have staff who is supportive of kids with disability. Thank you for being so patient with my son and explaining everything. Every staff treats you as you and your family are valued and important.

I hate that we are moving and have to say goodbye to this place. We always felt welcomed and the staff were so patient with my kids who were afraid of the dentist and now they like going .

When we first took our son to Small to Tall, we didnt really know what to expect from a pediatric dentist. We were so grateful to have professionals who were trained specifically to put kids at ease. They make the experience fun for the kids! Dr. Ruder counted my sons teeth with animal names, and the hygienist even let him experiment (safely) with some of the tools! Weve loved our experiences there.

We absolutely love Small to Tall. Super friendly staff and awesome doctors. Everyone made my nervous 5 year old feel totally comfortable. We request Amanda to assist everytime we go, my kids completely adore her. I highly recommend Small to Tall for kids of all ages!

Both my children (ages 4 & 5); my 4 year old had conscious sedation done & my 5 year old just recently had some restorative work done with nitrous oxide and they both did great. I had very positive interactions with all the doctors & staff members there. Thank you.

I absolutely love Small to Tall Pediatric dentistry and most importantly so does my son. My little guy recently had to have some dental work done and was a little nervous. All the staff was amazing and put him right at ease. Everyone that saw him made him super comfortable and now he doesnt want to go anywhere else for his dental care!!! Everyone there from check-in to check-out are amazing!!! I will recommend Small to Tall Pediatric Dentistry to everyone I know with children.

We were so anxious about our daughter going under anesthesia, but they were so accommodating, gentle, and thorough. Theres no other place we want to go to for dental work for our kids. Dr Maureen Craig, and Dr. Donald Lee were outstanding!

New patient...my 5yr old autistic son was treated well here. The layout & treehouse is cute/kid friendly. The doctor and staff were nurturing and very experienced. They new just how to handle and care for my son. Im so relieved and happy to find a place like this. Sincerely...an Autism Mom

We love Small to Tall. They have excellent patient care. The doctors are all really great, and very nice. We especially enjoy Dr. Ruder! He was so patient with my son, and knew exactly how to keep his nerves at ease. He counted his teeth with the names of all the super heros!The staff is wonderful as well. All of them are super friendly, and make us feel welcome. I highly recommend Small to Tall to all my friends and family. They truly are the best with children!!

My kids love coming to the dentist because of this place. Alycia is so great and patient with them! I also LOVE all the text and email reminders for appointments.

I truly love this place. After finding my daughter needed a couple fillings they got her in immediately and handled her beautifully. Shes usually a dramatic 4 year old, but the process was seamless. Dallas is a wonderful assistant and made my daughter very comfortable.

Not impressed, all it left was blaming parents, and just a headache, my kid told me never again. Listen to your kids.

This office is a great place for someone wanting to take exceptional care of their child. I have two boys and they are always looking forward to going to their dentist appointments. All of the doctors, assistants and front office team members are really great and put your child at ease. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!

We just recently switched over to Small to Tall and let me just say....WOW. The dentist has always been an anxiety filled (complete with panic attacks) experience for our daughter and the second we walked inside she was calm. The amazing tree house that greets you and the tranquil environment soothed her so much I was truly astonished. The staff was incredibly kind especially in the chaos of getting documents transferred over and I truly loved and appreciated our first visit being in our own private room to ease my daughters remaining anxiety even more.She is so excited for her next visit and to be able to get another excellent report and to be able to play in the tree house again!Thank you so much Small to Tall for truly having children in the front of your mind when creating the most inviting, calming, and truly phenomenal environment. You dont feel like youre at the dentist and for a little girl who is terrified of that environment she never showed a sign of fear. Just pure curiosity on what she would discover next.

We love love love Small to Tall Pediatric Dentistry! My children actually look forward going to the dentist and have had a great experience each and every time- whether the appointment was just for a checkup or a treatment plan. The hygienists are all very friendly and sweet and have the childs best interest at heart. All of the dentists weve had at the practice have been amazing with the same attention to kindness and compassion. My kiddos have grown a great relationship with one in particular, Dr. Ruder and the office management is great about trying to schedule with the dentist theyve grown up with. The practice as a whole listens to my concerns as a mom and I never feel dismissed or silly for any questions or concerns that I may have. I feel confident that our familys decision in choosing Small to Tall has been one that will give our children a strong positive view of dental health into their adult years. If only they had been an option when I was a kid! :-)

Its apparent small to tall treats their employees poorly. Ive drawn this conclusion by hearing the way the dental assistants speak to their front office counterparts. Its also easy to see the resentment the staff holds for the dentists and office manager. Id say poor leadership has trickled down to all ranks of this staff.Dr.Ruder is arrogant and unprofessional. I once heard him direct the front office to fill his schedule or else he would consider not letting them go home. Its apparent he is all about money.This office boasts about the continuing education of their employees which sounds great until you realize they do this only for the tax write off.*this office does NOT support the military and their families, if you are military go elsewhere****There are far more professional, friendly, genuine dental offices in the Olympia area. I would encourage you to search them out. Im certain you will be better off ANYWHERE else.

My nephews love going to this dentist. They had to change one time due to insurance changes but ended up going back due to the quality this dentist office provides. I have never had anything but friendly, helpful service from them. They listen to the children and try and make them as comfortable as possible.

As a general dentist myself, I was extremely disappointed to discover my toddler had multiple cavities. The first step I took was to contact Small to Tall Pediatric Dentistry to care for my son. Their office has an amazing reputation and has been the leader for how pediatric dental care is performed. I was also impressed how Dr. Ruder connected and inspired my son to take better care of his teeth.sincerely,Richard R Walker DDS

The Small to Tall staff are amazing. While checking in with Amanda, I asked if my very apprehensive 3 year old son could have a little extra warm up time in the room before his cleaning. She more than accommodated us! I explained my sons nervousness and shyness toward people and needless to say all the staff wonderfully went above and beyond to make our visit a positive and successful one. Felicia patiently explained and helped our son feel very comfortable and well informed before his cleaning. We also appreciate the calm and positive demeanor of all the doctors and especially Dr. Rowley on this visit. Thank you Small to Tall for helping our son love his visit and now hes looking forward to his next visit. In his words that was fun, I want to do it again!.

This clinic is very clean and friendly for young children. I was impressed by every staff person I encountered. They have a well thought out plan to treat young children who may be afraid or nervous about their experience. I highly recommend this clinic for all children and their parents!

I have two small children. My daughter when she was younger fell off a chair and got her foramen stuck between her teeth. And it fell on a Sunday. One of the doctors responded immediately to the emergency call from our doctors. He immediately left his family and met us at the clinic less than 25 minutes later. Over the years I have gotten to know many of the staff members.We absolutely love Felicia and Jessica. These two women have the most wonderful personality and are extremely competent. My kids love going there as we are a unique family to say the least and there is no judging there. These girls will interact with both children And I must say its the only dentist I will take my children to. When you have an emergency and it is your childrens future dental work at risk… You will stop at nothing to get the best care for your children. They offer the nitrous for the kids. I cannot say enough about Felicia and Jessica. Phenomenal job ladies. You have lifelong patients here. Well at least till the kids are 18.The dentists are great as well. Some of them know every single princesses name from Disney. The dentists are wonderful with children. If your child is an easy with dentists I suggest you make an attempt and at least try this place. They are exceptionally clean and do a wonderful job with the other staff in washing down all surfaces after you leave the dental chair.The front staff is extremely helpful as well and has been extremely accommodating for us . I cant say enough about this place. And did I tell you to try Felicia and Jessica for your cleanings for the kids? I honestly dont know if you can request them but its certainly worth a try.

Great place to take your kids. Megan is awesome! She explained everthing she was doing and showed him so he wasnt afraid. They make it so your kids wont be afraid of the dentist. It was a great experience!

My son absolutely loves this dentist office. Coming from a different pediatric office that wasnt the greatest of expierences, I am so happy I chose to bring my son here. Driving 40 miles to this office is nothing when you know your child looks forward to going to the dentist. We have now been patients for 8 years and we receive nothing but exceptional care . I have to admit it is a bonus for him to have his Aunt Jessica clean his teeth, but he also loves the doctors. I will continue to recommend this office to everyone. Thanks for always taking good care of my boy!

They are so great with kids! I love how they explain everything as they are doing it and really seem to care about what my kiddos had to say and any questions they had. Highly recommend!

Great visit for my 2 year old. Front desk very friendly. Tarryn was very friendly and great at explaining everything! We almost got a cleaning done with no tears which was amazing!! Dr. Rowley was great as well both were very thorough. Glad my kiddo goes there and thanks for the little picture of my son at the end so we can watch him grow at the dental office!!

First of all I read some of these reviews and I disagree that these dentists are all about the money. I have taken my boys to them for at least 11 years and have never felt that way. The dentist are very nice caring people. They have always taken the time to answer all my questions. The assistants and hygienists are wonderful and great with my boys. The front office staff have always been friendly. I would go here even if I had to pay out of pocket.

What a fantastic, welcoming facility! Upon first entry it is apparent the quality and care these providers have for both their staff and patients. The staff and providers are fully invested in making sure all aspects of patients needs and concerns are met. The time they take to educate and provide excellent community support is also quite admirable!

Per usual we had a great experience at Small to Talk Dentistry. They are great. I totally recommend them for your children. Thank you for making my sons experience so comfortable and safe.

We LOVE Small to Tall!!! They are so great with kids! Especially those that might have a fear of the dentist! Amanda P. Is awesome and our kids loved her and thought she was super nice and funny!

Small to Tall is THE BEST!!! :) I take both of my boys there, ages 6 and 9! Amanda Peek is wonderful and our favorite! All of the staff are absolutely amazing though! I will never take my boys anywhere else!

Small to Tall is amazing! My children love going to the dentist and count down the days to their next appointment. The entire staff does a great job putting children at ease and making it a fun experience.

We love the staff and Dr. Ruder, Rowley, and Shavron are great. But our last visit with the new dentist Dr. Maureen Craig was awful. My son, who is 6 was screaming and nervous about getting his cavities fixed. I went to hold his hand and said, “you’re going great” I was told by Dr. Craig not to talk to my child. That I must be a silent observer. This policy is ridiculous. Parents should have a right to comfort their kids. She was so condescending and rude. Dr. Craig also said she would take away the movie he was watching if he didn’t listen during the procedure. This type of communication with pediatric patients should not be acceptable.

We first met a few of the dentists and hygienists at the Hands on Childrens Museum when they were doing free exams to celebrate dental month in Febrary. My kids (age 11 months and 25 months) received a mini exam from Dr. Ruder. My husband and I were so impressed that we scheduled an appointment with them (even though we live in Tacoma).Pros:-my daughter was addicted to the pacifier, and I was certain that she would go to college with one in her mouth. We were told to gradually snip the tip and within 2 weeks both kids were pacifier free!-super clean. Everything about the building makes you feel like you are in a sterile place.-great little play area in the waiting room. Both of my little ones enjoyed climbing the stairs to the tree house.-the staff was helpful and friendly to both my kids and us.-it truly is a place where kids are the focus. Dr. Ruder, especially, has such a wonderful demeanor with the little ones and immediately makes them comfortable. My daughter opened her mouth with just a little coaxing for him to count her teeth using Disney princess names for each tooth.-they go above and beyond....from a pre-appointment phone call from one of the dentists to post appointment letters from the hygienist, Amanda and also one from Dr. Ruder himself (both, of course, were hand written).Cons-my husband was upset that he couldnt go to Dr. Ruder. :)This has been our only pediatric dental experience, but I cannot imagine it getting any better than what Small to Tall has to offer.

Had an appointment for 1030 for my son. Went to the address listed, followed my GPS because I dont know Olympia too well and the place was not here. I get a call from the receptionist asking where we were and she was a complete idiot. Didnt know how to help, and talked to me like she was some snotty brat. Ive heard good things but first impressions are important. Hire someone good at their job not just because they might be good looking because she just cost you guys a bunch of money.

I love this place! Nice waiting room, always right on time with appointments, and great staff. I recommend Small to Tall for anyone looking for quality dental care for their child.

Small to Tall is Amazing! The staff are always friendly and so accommodating! Everything is geared towards kids. Hillary is always so fun and friendly with my boys!

Great experience with my 2 year old! Dr Rowley was very patient and kind with my son and we didnt feel rushed at all. Friendly and helpful staff!

I went to the dentist today and felicia cleaned my teeth. She was nice and she did a good job cleaning my teeth. I was happy because i had no cavities and she said i do a good job brushing my teeth. Dr psaltis said i have a tooth that will be falling out in a week and i am exited because that means more money for me. I like coming to this dentist because they are nice so i am not afraid of going. and by the way my name is Mia McDonald

Very friendly personal. My daughter and I enjoyed her first dentist appointment. They are great!.

Dr. Ruder was amazing at calming our very nervous and very wiggly child. It was a positive and successful visit, and we will definitely go there again!

I had taken my 4 year old to two other dentists in town with disappointing results. Thankfully my sister told me about small and tall. The staff put my son at ease and therefore me as well. I was shocked how easy the exam and cleaning went. On his second trip he even did xrays no problem. He loves getting the token at the end and picking his prize. I wont take him anywhere else.

Beautiful new facility, good dentists, and hit or miss for below par reception people who do not know how to thoroughly give information on the phone. Waste of time and gas to get information I could have gotten over the phone. Sadly they do not take State insurance unless your child is under six and has a referral which is actually pretty piss poor because the kids 6-18 years old with state insurance are basically out of luck chuck and will have to settle for more than likely sub par pediatric services. (By the way, most high quality pediatric dental clinics will not take Apple/Molina State insurance - unless with a referral and also with an age discrepancy).Weve been going to Small to tall for 2 years since I have other than state insurance for our child. They were the second office I called in an emergency dental incident and were able to accommodate my daughters accident immediately. I like my daughters dentist (Ruder). He also mails out personal hand written birthday card greetings to your kid. Your child however, will spend more time with dental assistants (not dental hygienist) that will do their teeth cleaning. Thats also a hit or miss if the dental assistant has a warm reception and kid friendly. Some folks have not so great days, so its understandable and no biggie if the DA isnt having the best of days so long as he/she does their job well and professionally. Small to tall DAs have been very professional (though not always warm/kid friendly).Im a little perturb with the State insurance referral thing since I recommended Small to Tall to a close associate who had a referral with Apple/Molina insurance since I had call to Small to Tall beforehand and said they would take the referral. The receptionist on the phone should have included the statute of limitation on the age range for kids with referral.Work on getting your receptionist more knowledgeable Small to Tall, and youll definitely get the 5 star rating -- my 5 star rating for you guys fell to a 4 today. Its actually a 4+ since Dr. Ruder is cool. Youll want him for your dentist if you go there. Im confident his associates are just as good since my kid was also seen by Dr Rowley one time when Ruder wasnt available. It would also be very nice if you increased your referral age to a couple more years or just flat out 10 years old. There are lots of under privilege kids (through know fault of their own) who dont get an opportunity to experience a quality dental clinic-- end of my political rant.

They take great care of my son and always make us feel at ease. Our visits are always something we look forward to.

Ive been going to small to tall for 13 years and Ive always had great dental care. I had my teeth cleaned today and I got to see DR. Rowley. I appreciate the time Dr. Rowley and Tiffany took to talk with me about keeping my gums and teeth healthy. I am cavity free!

My daughter loves all of the dentists and staff at Small to Tall. She is always excited to go to the dentist. The tree house is one of her favorites!

Both kids love coming to Small to Tall. They are very patient and make the process very positive

Very friendly staff that really cares about the patients! Calm and patient with little ones and very good about explaining everything and answering any and all questions!

Great choice. I am so glad I found them.

Amazing place for my kids! Super doctors, front staff and team!!

Good dentist place for kids.

Receptionist was rude. They dont accept any insurance plans. Looks like they dont care about the little guys.
