Hila Robbins, DMD

This dentist place just charges too much and are not flexible when it comes to parents wanting explanations or when we said we did not want x-​rays for our 7 year old son because of exposure they got pushy and judgmental

$ 220 for a cleaning on a 4 year old??? and then they would not even bill our insurance directly. they need their money now. maybe an alright dentist, but the cost of a cleaning should never be this much.

There are no words to express the gratitude I have for Dr. Robbins and her lovely staff. I have been taking both my kids since their first teeth have came in. My son, who has genetically bad teeth (my fault), has been expertly treated by Dr. Robbins and with her knowledge on his altered dentition, I know that he is receiving the best care possible. The office is very kid friendly and the kids LOVE going. That’s right, I said Love. To give my kids such a wonderful dental experience will set them on a path to look forward to seeing the dentist, not dreading it. I have referred many other parents to this office and every one of them has been thrilled with her services.

We just took our 16 month old for his first dental appointment and it was great! The staff is wonderful and Dr. Robbins is amazing. I’m very, very impressed and if you are looking for a pediatric dentist, — she’s a gem!

Dr. Robbins’ waiting area has lots of toys and a carpeted nook inside a faux tree, containing a plastic play-​kitchen. My daughter liked this nook a lot. Dr. Robbins’ staff are very friendly and they paid attention to how my daughter was feeling wary of the dentist. There is a tiny (looks like two pounds) blind service dog in the office area (dog is blind, not the staff).
The staff played the movie of my daughter’s choice on a ceiling DVD player for the duration of the exam. They also used a stuffed dinosaur with a set of plastic human choppers sewn-​in, to demonstrate to my daughter the best way to brush and floss. The staff’s performance was polished and seamless, and everybody exuded a gentle confidence that allayed fears.
The dentist Dr. Robbins took her time with my daughter. She let me lie on the dental chair because my daughter wanted to lie on me instead of lying directly on the chair herself. My daughter did not want to open her mouth, and was afraid of all the dental tools, so the dentist slowly and methodically introduced my daughter to the sharp tools and mirror before using them. My daughter got her choice of two toothpaste flavors for the dentist to use.
Dr. Robbins recommended two new anti-​cavity candy and vitamin supplement products containing xylitol instead of sugar. I’d not heard of these before, so this was very useful.
My daughter was gagging because of all the mouth-​probing that she did not enjoy, so the dentist respected my daughter’s reflexes by postponing oral X-​rays for a separate visit, early in the morning, before my daughter will have eaten anything.
Everything was done very slowly and gently. The entire environment is geared to make children feel comfortable. I appreciate this specialization very much.
You cannot use your insurance here directly. This clinic does not take payments directly from insurance companies, so if you have any out-​of-​network coverage then you need to ask your insurance carrier to reimburse you for costs incurred here.

I was not impressed with this dentist’s knowledge, nor with the overall service rendered! Price was exorbitant as well… and my child’s teeth were not even cleaned 100%. I have never paid $ 170 for MY dentist appmts. ever! This was a referral and I was shocked with the high price and poor service. Yes, she was nice, but COME ON! :(

She is a pretty amazing woman! We had to switch dentists because she wants you to pay up front and bill your own insurance. Our new dentist doesn’t compare to Hila. Love her dog, her cute tree house and how she has all the staff where purple (very calming). She really takes time with you too.

Dr. Robbins might be a fine pediatric dentist, but the staff, scheduling lady, and overall office attitute is awful. We went in for an emergency as our daughter fell and chipped her tooth. We called in and were told to «come in right away». After waiting for ½ an hour in the waiting room, and another 40 mintues in the dentist chair, still no dr. After that long wait we got «she should be with you in less that 5 minutes». All the while, the doctor was chit-​chatting with another child’s mom in the room next door. Not a good first impression at all, and there are many other fine dentists in the area. Stay away if you feel you deserve respect.

Dr. Robbins is an amazing pediatric dentist. My daughter is an anxious child and is very comfortable with Dr. Robbins. She or her nurse explains everything clearly to the kids. My daughter had her first cavity filled by Dr. Robbins who made it a very easy experience. We feel very lucky to have found her!

Dr. Robbins is the best pediatric dentist ever! I agree with the previous reviewer that the assistants at this office are amazing. They will go over everything with you and your kids before anything is done. This place is so kid-​friendly! They go out of their way to make sure your kids are comfortable and they use the latest technology. No shots here! They use a special computer «wand» to give anesthesia which is much easier for your kids. Also, the little dog, Holly, is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met. She is trained to work with patients and loves sitting with the kids. This office is super clean and the staff are super friendly. I recommend her to all my friends who have kids!

My son has been going to Dr. Robbins for a couple of years and we’ve been very happy. For his first visit (his first time to any dentist, for that matter), a nurse came to the waiting room and brought a stuffed animal and huge toothbrush. She proceeded to show him what Dr. Robbins would do when he saw her. The nurse was SO nice.
On the way to see Dr. Robbins, my son stopped to pick out a movie he’d like to watch during the exam. Go Diego Go, Toy Story, Little Einsteins… they have about 100 to choose from.
We get in the exam room and get to choose a tooth brush — again, all characters he is familiar with.
Dr. Robbins comes in, introduces herself, is SO nice and before starting the movie, asks if my son wants to hold her little dog (some really little dog) on her lap. Apparently he’s been trained to comfort kids during stressful moments and some kids get stressed at the dentist. He wasn’t stressed, but thought it was pretty great he got to watch Buzz Lightyear with a dog on his lap.
Her exam was thorough, easy, fast.
Upon leaving, my son stopped at the Treasure Tree and picked out a little toy and a sticker. I tell you!
Oh, the waiting room — so cool. There’s a real tree house for the kids to go in and play. We’ve never seen more than one other kid in the waiting room, so it’s not crowded or unsafe for him to be playing in the tree house.
Highly recommend!
