The BEST pediatric dentist experience EVER! Our kids love this place, and have a giant smile on their faces from beginning to end. Hygienists are friendly, caring, and come right out to the waiting room to give you all of the details about your kiddos’ teeth. The staff is so caring and patient....from the front desk all the way up to Dr Burm himself. Love this place!

We had our first visit with Dr. Burm today, and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The administrative staff is very kind, knowledgeable, and responsive. There was essentially no wait. The office is decorated festively for children. The dental hygienist was EXCELLENT with my 2.5 year old. She personified all the instruments and introduced them to him before trying to do the exam or cleaning. She took the time to make a game out of things for him, and he was able to get through the whole exam and fluoride treatment because of that. Dr. Burm was awesome with my son, too, and answered

This was my daughter’s first time at the dentist and it couldn’t have gone any better! All of the staff were so friendly and warm from the moment we walked in. The dental hygienist was so patient and friendly, my 2 1/2 year old daughter who is normally scared of strangers, had no problem sitting on the chair by herself for the entire exam even though they said she could sit on my lap if needed. The dentist and receptionist were so personable and made us feel so comfortable. We had an amazing first experience and we can’t wait to go back in 6 months! :)

Dr. Burm and staff are very easy going and patient. Had to take my daughter in to have 1-2 teeth pulled to get ready for braces and she has never even had a cavity filled so she was very scared. Dr. Burm is so great at what he does that after she had one tooth pulled she asked Dr. Burm to pull the other. She didn't even require any pain med. at home. Wish i had a dentist like him when I was a kid.

I myself have an uneasy feeling when going to the dentist because my teeth are so sensitive. It took me forever to find one I like. But to find a dentist for my son that is pleasant, kid-centiric and patient on the first try was amazing! We are pleased with the staff in front and the back. Thanks for making my sons last few years one that has set the bar high for going to the dentist!
