While Growing Smiles has the advantage of helping kids feel at ease since they watch TV during appointments, they have a severe problem with booking too many patients. As a parent of children who have been patients for the last 5 years, the staff has regularly been extremely unhelpful about fitting in my kids for regular checkups. I recently asked to move my son’s upcoming appointment to the next available time slot and was told this was impossible. They are booked for the next 7 months, and their scheduling does not allow to book beyond that.

Always very friendly. They are great with my kids. We have been going here for several years. My oldest had a crown put on last year. Dr. Corns explained to my daughter exactly what was going to happen. We love that they all take time to explain and are comforting to our girls.

Always such an amazing visit. My daughter, Lillian, has been going to Growing Smiles in Valparaiso for years and today her little brother had his first appointment with them. He was anxious about his first visit but everyone did such a great job making him feel welcome and like a "big kid". I wouldn't want my kid's to go anywhere else.

The staff is always amazing. My children are always treated very kindly. As a mother I always feel like my kids get the best treatment possible every time. I would highly recommend anyone to bring their kids to growing smiles.

Dr. Corns and her staff are always incredibly friendly, patient and gentle. They have wonderful bedside manners, which is important as children are often scared of the dental environment. I’m continually impressed with each visit.

We love Growing Smiles! The staff has endless patience for children and always does their best to make it a pleasant experience. Dr. Corns has a gentle touch and calming way of getting done what needs to be and also keeping the child comfortable. We love our hygienist, Claire! She’s great! Higher recommend!

The staff did great. My daughter was uncooperative past the first four teeth. It was her first time with the machine cleaning, so I understand her fear and reluctance. I’m not sure if more could have been done before the cleaning started to prepare her for the experience but we worked as a team to get her teeth cleaned.
We plan on getting an electric toothbrush and hoping that next time will be better.

Dr. Corns and her staff are excellent. My 2 young sons had some major work to be done. Dr. Corns made both of them feel comfortable. Her staff helped them relax. Not to mention they work so quickly! The boys were nervous and the patience and understanding made them (and myself) feel so much better. I highly recommend Growing Smiles.

My daughter cracked a tooth and had to have it pulled. Dr. Corns and Claire were so great with her! She didn't cry and now says she'd like to be a dentist and maybe she could work with Dr. Corns.

My little man was referred by a dentist I had taken him into because he had such anxiety about the Dentist. Dr. Corns and her staff are wonderful with him, and I couldn't ask for a better Dentist for my son. They talk him through every step and make him feel very comfortable, and relaxed.

What a wonderful place!!! The office is so fun and full of bright colors and toys, helping calm any child's nerves as soon as they walk through the door. The staff is so sweet and does an awesome job of talking their patients through every step of the appointment! I won't take my son anywhere else!!
