Recommendation for a super good pediatric dentist in town? One who will be patient and gentle with a 3 year old who can be slow to open up and doesn't usually cooperate...
Rachal A. replied:
Just for Grins http://just-for-grins.com/ these guys are the BEST. They were awesome with Adam when he was a lot younger and terrified because another dentist scared him half to death
Katie B. replied:
I also recommend Dr. Rachel Meyerhttp://www.rachelmeyerdds.com/
Barbara E. replied:
I take both my kids to Dr. Montoya. He is wonderful with them!
Deanna P. replied:
Dr. Ballard is great with kids.
Kimmi H. replied:
I took my 4 year old to Dr Gartz and my son had a bkast and was bragging about how he got to go to the dentist and was showing his teeth off and everything. Dr Gartz did an amazing job and so did his assistant.
Debbie D. replied:
Dr. Prishkilnik at Just for Grins is awesome with kids! She is up here once a week - will be twice soon.
Nalani K. replied:
Dr. McDonald is great but if you want a pediatric go with Dr. Prishkilnik she is wonderful with kids and very through. My 5 year old just had dental surgery with her in Friday.
Helen C. replied:
It's in SF but Dentistry For Kids is great..... I've also heard Dr. Barrero (sp) is good
Joann G. replied:
I agree Dr. Cannon
Ali R. replied:
Dr. McDonald. He was so amazing with both of my boys (and one was not easy to get in the chair - he had great, but respectful, tricks and it was a really successful visit!) He has also been great for my husband and I - and I was a real dentophobe before him. Cannot recommend him, and his entire staff, enough.
Joyce A. replied:
I second Dr. McDonald. My older son is parinoid about his mouth. Dr. M's staff were patient and very kind. He has a very nice manner with kids too.
Rebecca S. replied:
Dr. McDonald has always been gentle and great with my kids.
Lisabeth L. replied:
I second Dr. McDonald. My girls see his hygienists now, but the first time they only saw him. He won't push them and is great. He's also great with questions, like when I questioned him about why a 5 yo needed x-rays if she was just going to lose those teeth anyway he explained that molars are important and have to last awhile and hers were too close together to get a good look at and then said I should think about it and let them know *next* visit if they were still so close rather than trying to immediately talk me into something.
Francine M. replied:
Dr Rachael Myers is a fantastic dentist . I don't think she is specifically a pediatric dentist but she is so gentle and so sweet that I can see that she would be Fabulous with kids. She also knows her work.
Can I get recommendations please for a good pediatrician and children's dentist in LA. Must accept medicaid
Diane C. replied:
We LOVE Dr. Tom(662-9200) for our pediatrician, not sure if he accepts medicaid, but give them a call. no dentist suggentions
Karen H. replied:
Dr tom!! And there have been great things said about Los Alamos Childrens dentistry in the new Smiths parking lot
Jo R. replied:
Dr. Tom is wonderful and yes his office accepts Medicaid. The new Los Alamos Childrens Dentistry also accepts Medicaid, we have not gone to them yet but I have heard wonderful reviews about their office.
Jennifer F. replied:
Dr. Tom for pediatrician, he and his Nurse Nadine are the BEST! Dr. Bill Nichols for dentist, only dentist we've been too where my son hasn't screamed bloody murder to have his teeth checked and cleaned
Ashley D. replied:
Dr.Tom Csanadi he is wonderful!!!!! For pediatrician
Kristie A. replied:

Naly R. replied:
I recently moved to Los Alamos and I am very very happy taking my little one year old girl with Dr. Tom. He is a great pediatrician.
Wendy L. replied:
Dr. Ben Neal, children's clinic at LAMC. I would not take my children or grandchild to anyone else.
Looking for recommendations for a pediatric dentist in LA/WR please? Our current one keeps canceling our appointments and I'm looking for something really reliable....
Heather O. replied:
Dr. Brookhover in LA is really good.
Deborah M. replied:
Just for Grins in LA. Dr, P., can't spell her name but love her. She's only here one day a week.
Christie M. replied:
So Malaya does great with cleanings and we go here in WR at Heisch, gartz and cannon. But anything more then a cleaning they send us to Dr Hendricks (sp?) in SF at dentistry for kids! He is absolutely fabulous with kids!
Susan W. replied:
Mc Donald LA
Anna D. replied:
My kids loved Dr. Gartz
Linda C. replied:
Jon McDonald is great with Isabella
Karen L. replied:
Dr Nichols is opening a practice in LA in February.
Lisabeth L. replied:
If you're looking for general health and not serious problems, we love Dr. McDonald. His practice is up here, he doesn't just come for a day a month.
Deepa P. replied:
Dr MCDonald
Diana T. replied:
Thanks everyone! Think I'll give Dr McDonald a try.
Favorite pediatric dentist? I've noticed a couple more in town.
Cara B. replied:
Just for grins (located at Dr McDonald's old office) has a great staff. My 3 year old didn't have a great experience, but I think they would be great for a little bit older kids. Also the new children's dentist located in the new smiths area is Dr Nikkles (from the children's clinic) his father is the dentist there. We will be checking him out.
Lorraine R. replied:
Dr. Laura Heisch. Awesome with children.
Ali R. replied:
Dr. Jon McDonald has been fantastic with both of my boys. He is also wonderful with adults - especially dentophobes!
Emily T. replied:
Most pediatric dentists are not located in LA. We've seen Dr Peck in SF for years and my girls love her.
Jennifer G. replied:
Dr. Rachel Meyer next to State Farm - Central Park Square, is excellent! We've been seeing her (whole family) for about three years.
Debbie D. replied:
Just for Grins!!! Dr. Prishkilnik is AWESOME!
Heather A. replied:
We see Dr. Cannon and Dr. Heisch at High Mesa Dental Arts. They have been fabulous!
