Eric H Dixon, DDS

Doctors are still great, but some dental tech aids not so patient and short with my younger boys.

Wow! I’m loving how the staff communicates. I’ve never been to a dentist office where is this beautiful! The staff is friendly and have a lot of patience. Highly recommend for children. Hey they can watch a movie while having their teeth clean!!! Why can’t adults have that too!!!

Absolutely Love this place! It is such a nice clean office with lots to look at. They have a cool aquarium in the waiting room with toys and ipads, the treatment part of the office has paintings on the wall, cool movies to watch, over all the perfect kids dentist! My daughter came in with such a breeze not worried or nervous at all, they have iPads to play with while you wait and movies too! Martha was great I believe she is a receptionist? She helped me set up an appt and realized we didn’t receive a military discount on our last visit so she applied it to our next appt! Over all love this office and will definitely recommend it! (:

My 2.5 year old had her very first dental experience here. They are AMAZING. From the front desk to the dental assistant to the dentist himself, the entire experience was fantastic. They were great with my daughter and were able to get in a full exam and teeth cleaning (they weren’t sure they would since we all know how cooperative a two year old can be). They gave her a tour of the place and showed her the instruments, explaining what they did. Before they put anything in her mouth, they «practiced» on her fingers so she would know what to expect. We were offered fluoride and when we turned it down there was no pressure or lectures. I can’t say enough good things about this place. My daughter didn’t want to leave! What kid doesn’t want to leave the dentist? We have definitely found her dentist for life!

They’ve been seeing my kids for years — wow, what a beautiful location! The staff is friendly and efficient while Dr. Dixon is professional explaining anything that comes up. The kids are always happy to go and come away with smiles!

My kids enjoyed their first visit to the dentist office. I brought my two kids ages 2.5 and 1.5 for their first cleaning. I was a little nervous and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. When we walked in my kids were thrilled, there were toys, ipads, and a huge fish tank. The office was very clean, beautiful and perfect for kids. We saw Stephanie Dixon DDS and she was great and so was the staff. Everyone was very friendly and gentle. Once we walked into the exam room it was so cool. There were flat screens on the ceiling with a movie of choice for all ages. The doctor made us feel very comfortable and my kids allowed her to examine them. The doctor was very patient and explained every step as we went along. I m very excited to say that we will coming back to her for our next visit.
I had called several offices and did my research before we came to Kensington Pediatrics. I m so happy we found a doctor we all felt very comfortable with. i printed all the paperwork before we went in.
The street parking can be limited but they offer parking in the back of the building.

Took my 2 kids 5 and 7 year old. Place is done very well to keep kids happy. Service was outstanding from the front desk to the doctor. All I have to say is that the kids keep asking me to go back.

Dr. Stephanie Dixon is the best! Our son and daughter love her and they have seen a few dentist. They are 9 and 4 and already were traumatized. Now, they actually look forward to seeing Dr. Stephanie and her sweet and patient, compassionate staff. Menaz is wonderful too.

I have two kids– 3 and 7. The staff here really go out of their way to make the tiniest of patients happy and comfortable. The use of technology: digital cameras, large Mac monitors and iPads, is very cool. Two different areas are setup based on age. Flat tables with ceiling mounted TVs with a vast selection of movies made my children very relaxed and content.
The office is beautiful and comfortable. I’m so thrilled to have found a dentist that my kids are excited about.

My boy is 14 months old and I recently took him here for his first check up a few weeks ago.
Their location is very convenient, there is a parking lot just a few yards down the street. The staff was very nice and Dr. Dixon worked very well with my son. Being that he is 1, I was afraid that we would kick and scream the whole time, but Dr. Dixon was done quick and gave me a few tips on brushing and flossing an toddler.
And at the end, my son go to pick out a little toy from their treasure chest *CUTE!
We’ll be back in 6 months.

I have 2 kids 4 & 3 it was their first visit to the dentist and they were kind of nervous. The staff was very nice and made the kids feel comfortable but the entertainment center really helped they were having so much fun. The Nurses gave us a tour of the office and talk about the friendliest place on earth wow this was it. My kids were well taken care of and had a great time they even can’t wait to go to their next visit. Thank you to everyone in the office for making us feel so welcome and letting my kids know its not scary at all to visit the dentist.

We love Mr Eric and his staff. This was my sons first time going to the dentist and they made it super easy.
The location is right off the 15 in an office that’s easy to find.
They have a great atmosphere for the kids, lots of stuff to entertain while we waited for our turn (which wasn’t long at all!). When it was time to go back for the cleaning my son was able to lay down and watch the TVs in the ceiling to distract him.
I am very pleased with this place and would recommend it to anyone!!!

This place is second to none. My son needed his first exam, 2.5 years old, never been to a dentist before, and we usually have to wrestle with him to floss his teeth at night.
We go in and it’s like a kids Shangri-​la… toys everywhere, ipads, and a beautiful fish tank. Then the fun starts, my son laid on the exam table and watched a movie while they worked on his teeth. It’s like he was under anesthesia with those headphones on.
They treated him like a grandma would treat a newborn!
If they keep this up I am a customer for life.

We just left Kensington Pediatric Dentistry for my 3 year old’s first dental appointment (we were referred here by a friend). The space is beautiful, the toys are great (my daughter was thrilled they have iPads and fun toys in the waiting area), and the staff was super friendly and great with kids. My little one was a bit hesitant today and didn’t want to lay down, but Dr. Dixon used her expert toddler persuasion skills to get her to agree to some teeth «counting» (and finger counting too as my daughter likes to point out). Of course we have not had any significant dental work done, so I can’t comment there, but they did a great job making our first dental visit a fun one (prizes and stickers too!) and had great tips for parents as well. Kensington Pediatric Dentistry will be taking care of my girls’ teeth for years to come. Thanks!

Wow!!! My family & I love this place! The dentists & the staff are amazing.
I have 2 daughters– age 4 & 6. We recently left their old dentist & were on the search for a new dentist. After doing some research I found Kensington Pediatric Dentistry. I called to ask some questions & find out more about them… when I called I spoke with Marta, she took at least 10 minutes or so answering all my questions & being very helpful, she was so friendly & pleasant to talk to. I made an appointment for my younger daughter & took her in the following week to see Dr. Eric Dixon.
When we arrived we were so impressed with the inside of the office & how kid friendly & inviting the whole office was.
The entire staff was so attentive to my daughter as well as me. After the experiences my daughter had with her old dentist she had become very fearful of going to the dentist & would become very upset upon arriving at the dentist. At Kensington they made her feel so comfortable, they talked with her & showed a genuine concern & interest for her, which made her feel at ease. They also got her set up with a movie of her choice with her very own headset to listen to while they started her exam. They talked with me through the entire visit & explained everything & answered all my questions. My daughter had to have a small procedure done so they had her move into another room where I was able to go with her as well & watch the whole procedure. They got her set up again with a movie, a cushion & a blanket because she was cold. At the end of her visit she got to pick from a treasure chest, pick out stickers & got flossers, a toothbrush & toothpaste :)
It was the best visit she has ever had at the dentist! She was compliant the entire visit & did not cry or have a melt down. I know this was a direct result of the outstanding patient care & concern Kensington Pediatric provides!!! we couldn’t be more impressed with level of service they provide. We are so glad to be new patients at Kensington pediatric dental

I started my two year old at the Sorrento Valley office and was very happy when they opened an office in Kensington. I brought both my kids, 2 ½ and 1yr old to the new office and they loved the service. Crazy as this sounds I’m sure they would be happy to visit the dentist anytime! Dr. Eric Dixon was fantastic with both kids as well as the hygienist.
A bonus for those families considering this facility, the office is right near starbucks, a library and PARK! A great outing for the family!
I just received a follow-​up letter from the office with a HAND WRITTEN note! Wow, when’s the last time your received that from any company!
KUDOS to the staff of KPD!

It’s rare that your kid cries when LEAVING the dentist. Mine did. My daughter did not want to leave because she was having such a great time:)
I’ll start from the beginning. The receptionist, Marta, is very sweet, professional, efficient, and knows how to do her job very well. I was a first-​time patient and had to cancel 3 appts in the month of December (due to kids being sick/​family stuff). I thought she and the Doctors would blacklist me lol, but she was nothing but understanding and helped get me rescheduled. I picked this office from Unilocal alone. I drove from Jamul and it was worth it:)
So last week, I took both of my kids (1.5 years old and 3.5 years old) to see Dr. Eric Dixon. I was dreading it for weeks, but It was shockingly not only painless, but actually delightful. We walked into a beautiful office– seriously stunning! I am not easily impressed, but I was very impressed by it! Beautiful warm/​rich colors, great layout, and super duper clean (which is a big deal for me). Cool area right when you walk into the reception area… Plasmas, ipads, books, baby/​toddler toys, HUGE gorgeous and healthy fish tank… they had it all… which totally entertained the kids while I filled out paperwork. Then in the main area… coolest light fixture/​lamps that you would see in a hip town in the Northeast. Nice cushy (clean) beds for the kids with TVs on the ceiling over every bed! and super cute and comfy benches for the parents to sit if they want to. I love/​know interior design and they did not miss any details nor did they spare any expense!
Dr. Dixon was fantastic! And so was the Dental Hygienist– she was awesome. Dr. Dixon looked at my son’s teeth/​mouth while the DH totally entertained my 3.5 year old daughter and then she cleaned and polished her teeth. I actually thought they were just talking/​playing the whole time as I was holding my son for the Doctor. Later I found out that she had sat through a cleaning, polish, etc. Painless. Awesome! Dr. Dixon was very informative and gave me lots of useful pointers/​tips, especially for my son. He even gave me great advice on how to ditch the pacci (and it worked!). I encourage all parents to start taking their kids as soon as they turn one. After looking at my son, he then went over to my daughter who was having a blast and I listened to him while he engaged her in his calm voice and asked her questions about her favorite movie, favorite princess, etc. and then they were having a full on conversation as he looked at all of her teeth to check for problems/​cavities. Lucky me~ 2 kids=ZERO cavities:). I’m a proud mama!
The kids got some goodie bags, toothbrushes, our favorite Toms toothpaste, and other fun stuff. My daughter was having so much fun with the ipad and cried when it was time to leave. I promised her that we would come back. I loved everything about the Doctor, staff, and office. I loved that it wasn’t busy or overwhelming (it seems that they only see one patient at a time and don’t overbook which means you don’t wait). It was a very calm and peaceful experience. We left with positive feedback, great information, and had a fantastic experience overall! I am picky and it took me 2 months to decide on a new dentist (we are from LA), and I’m so happy I decided on Dr. Dixons– amazing Pediatric Dentists:)

I brought my 13 year old to Dr. Dixon yesterday, because we saw it going in during construction and we would much rather support a local business than drive. At first, with my child being older, I was unsure about how he would feel about changing dentists, but his excitment upon leaving his appointment nailed it for me– we had found our new dentist! It takes a lot for a teen to say ANYTHING positive about any kind of doctor, but he was chatty about the cleaning and the new place all night. It is VERY clean and kid friendly, with ipads loaded with video gamesi in the waitting room, and while the kids are being treated, each chair has its own tv monitor with head phones, so kids can be distracted with the movie of their choice.
Not only was it a good experience for my son, Dr. Dixon came out and got to know me and was genuinely interested in our family. She gave me some good tips about how to get my son to floss and brush more, and we had an interesting chat about braces and the pros/​cons.
I appreciated their cheerful manner and excitement for what they do.

Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Eric Dixon are wonderful — and their office is just a little piece of kid paradise! They are fantastic with children — making them feel safe and comfortable. Our boys have learned great habits from their Sorrento Valley staff, and now we’re thrilled to have them in the neighborhood. 5 stars just aren’t quite enough :)

My wife works in Sorrento Valley and we had heard about this great kids’ dental office near there and decided to take our son. They had video games and cool, kid-​friendly décor which definitely helped ease our son into those first few visits. The staff was friendly and very helpful in explaining how to best care for his teeth without beating us over the head or making us feel like CPS might come if we didn’t floss every day!
We heard that Dr. Eric Dixon was opening a second location in Kensington and were very excited as we live close by and my office is just a block away — convenient! We made our first visit to the Kensington office shortly after they opened and had another great experience. There are video screens in the ceilings so that your child can watch their favorite video while getting their teeth cleaned. Next to the exam tables are nice wood benches where parents can sit comfortably and watch the process. Dr. Dixon is great with kids of all ages and I would highly recommend his services.
We are very appreciative that Dr. Eric Dixon and his spouse Dr. Stephanie Dixon decided to invest locally and create a wonderful neighborhood business in Kensington that serves the Metro communities — thank you!
