California KiDDS Pediatric Dentistry

Amazing, Couldn’t be happier!!! After taking my daughter to her first dental visit someplace else an having 2 staff members and myself hold her down, I dreaded the thought of taking her back. I read all the wonderful reviews for California kidds and thought we could give it a try, thank goodness we did ;-)

The staff and dentists are very friendly and patient with our 3 kids. Even our 2 year old is totally at ease going to the dentist! I appreciate that the wait is not too long and we can expect the same quality service each time. As a parent, I don’t feel rushed, and that my concerns are listened to. So glad we started coming here!

My 13 month old went in today for his first check up. The staff was great, very friendly, the office was clean (I used to work in the field, so my standards for cleanliness are high) very happy mommy here. He screamed and cried while getting his teeth cleaned but everyone remained calm and peaceful with him. He even got a token which he was able to redeem for the toy of his choice along with a toothbrush bag and a balloon! Highly recommend!

Brought my 4 year old for her 6 month regular check up. It was our first time coming here and I was overall impressed. They do go out of their way to make the kids feel comfortable. I loved that they give tokens for a «prize» after their check up. The place itself is pretty inviting and nice. Only giving a 4 stars because my daughter was given the fluoride treatment without them asking me first. I felt that they should have asked/​told me that they were about to do that. I would have politely declined. Overall happy with this place, though!

Best dentist ever. Dr. Evans is so nice to the kids, my kids actaully enjoy going to the dentist for there 6 month cleaning/​check up. Everyone from the front desk to every assistant there are the best.
Thank you

I have been taking my son to California Kidds for a couple of years now and I always have a good experience.
The staff members are professional, friendly and they’re good with kids of all ages! There are three dentists here, my son’s dentist is Dr Evans. He is a nice guy who offers advice when you need it and you can tell he cares about his practice. There are many dental assistants, some of them go above & beyond and really stand out! The office is well kept, I always see staff cleaning and sanitizing which makes me happy :)
The area where kids get a check up is an open area with about 6 «beds/​chairs», there are TVs on the ceiling so the kiddos can watch a movie while they’re getting their teeth cleaned, after cleaning they get a bag (with a toothbrush and usual dental hygiene goodies) along with a token to get a prize from the gum-​ball machine (they have trinkets and bouncy balls). If your child requires treatment, there are private rooms which are just as nice.
Everyone here makes sure your child is comfortable and understands what’s going on in their mouth.
California Kidds also does movie ticket/​book/​etc giveaways (for their patients only!) on their Facebook page as well as various patient appreciation events through out the year.
The only somewhat negative thing I can say, is that the office is really busy, so book your child’s appointment at least a month in advance. Especially if you need a certain time and day due to your work schedule.
I hope they keep up the good work!

Love this place! I have three kids and Dr. Kunkel and his staff are incredible with them. Such a kid friendly environment and I feel like they tailor the appt to the specific needs of each kid. We will continue to come here!

We love to bring our children to Dr. Evans, he is gentle and nice. The staff are all great and the office is always bright and clean.

Words won’t be able to describe this. There is just no other place to go for kids dental care. The atmosphere, the amenities, kids are even given golden tokens to use to claim a prize following the visit. My 6 year old son who is pretty much afraid of everything needed to have two teeth pulled today and he walked out thinking he was the bravest, toughest kids around. This was all due to the great staff at CA KiDDS and to Dr Kunkel. Thank you team.

This really is an awesome place to take your kids! The whole staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is perfect for the kids.

What an awesome experience this place is. The ambiance is well suited for kids. Toys that keep them busy. Caring professionals from the front office to the assistants to the dentist. High tech X rays and my kids loved it. I definitely recommend this place to all parents. Kids will have no fear.

My kids love this place. All the staff are very friendly and know their stuff. They answer all your questions and treat your kids great. The dentists are awesome and really know how to make your kids feel comfortable. I am so glad we chose California kids for our children’s denist.

Love, Love, Love them! We went to them after having a horrible experience with Catherine Lambetecchio. I would recommend them to anyone. I wish I could go there! My son gets nervous during cleaning and they take there time explaining what everything does and it puts him at ease. They really have it set up just right for kids. I wouldn’t take my kids anywhere else.

My three-​year old is halfway through his treatment and it’s going great! This place is perfect for a little guy — lots of toys and distractions, friendly staff and doctors, good & speedy dental work, and conservative treatment. I was nervous about taking him in and very worried about him getting fillings, but he got two teeth filled so far (two more to go) and I can’t believe how smoothly it’s gone. He is comfortable, he gets to watch Max & Ruby, I can stay right there with him the whole time, and it was extremely non-​traumatic for both of us. He only needed laughing gas and the dentist worked quickly and gently. I am so relieved to have found this place, and glad my son won’t grow up with the dental phobia I developed after bad childhood experiences at the guilt-​tripping, scary dentist I saw in the 1980s!

Fantastic office, doctors and staff! I wouldn’t take my kids to any other dentist. This is, by far, the best pediatric dentist office in the Central Valley! Everything is designed for children, from the books and toys in the reception area to the TVs above every treatment chair so they can relax while the dentist «brushes they’re teeth» and «puts tooth play-​doh on their teeth». The doctors and assistants are very patient and explain everything they’re doing to ease the kid’s nerves. Every kid leaves with a balloon and token to get a prize from the toy machines. KIDS LOVE COMING TO THE DENTIST!
I highly recommend California KiDDS! Your child will love going to the dentist every time!
