“This was our second visit this week. I couldn’t be anymore pleased with Dentistry for Children of Port Orchard, WA. I did A LOT of asking around and searches online. I was looking for a dentist to be with my son for all his adolescence. I love how I have the choice to go back with my child. The little window that peeks into where the kids get their teeth cleaned is also great! I used it with my son to warm him up to going back there. The hygenist treated my son so genuinely sweet and kind that you would have thought she was family. Thanks Ms. Marissa. When it was our turn with Dr. Hays the visit continued to be great. He asked me if I had any concerns and showed me in great understanding detail what was going on with my sons teeth and what kinda of action plan we would need to eventually look at several years away in ortho care. And even gave me a few Good Jobs Mom! Lol” – Anonymous on June 19, 2016
