My two children (8 and 10) have been seeing Dr. Longfellow and Dr. Padilla since they were toddlers, and actually get excited for their checkups every 6 months. Every step of the process, from scheduling to waiting to X-rays, to cleaning, to consultation with the dentist, to checkout is pleasant and smooth for both the kids and the parents. Even when there have been dental issues we need to take care of, I have been blown away by the skill and bedside manner of all the staff. I only wish they took care of adults, too, so I could get my checkups taken care of by such trustworthy, friendly people.
