I am a Board Certified pediatric dentist. I graduated from Marquette University with my doctorate in dental science and completed a pediatric dental residency at Baylor College of Dentistry (now part of Texas A&M University). I have been practicing dentistry for over 20 years. I truly enjoy working with children and helping them to achieve dental stability and health.
We want your child to feel welcome at Young Smiles. We have designed a low-stress, kid-friendly office where your child will be right at home! Our office is light and open and features video screens in the waiting room and operatories to help your child pass the time. We want your child to feel comfortable and have a great experience with us so that they will develop a positive attitude toward visiting the dentist and taking care of their smile.

Friendly staff, but billing is horrible. Just about every time My kids go there the services that are supposed to be covered by my insurance are not.... and when you specifically ask if the X-rays your child had are a year from the last ones they say yes.... but they were not... and now you have to pay for them.

Specifically asked 2 weeks ago when our appointment time was, confirmed for 8am. They moved the appointment without notice and then lied straight to my face.
Doctors are great if you have time to take off work for no reason- this is the place to be. 👌🏼

I just absolutely love it here. Everyone is so nice and just love the family feel. I drive about 45 minutes and won’t switch because it’s hands down the best dentist EVER! Wish I could go here.

All my kids have gone to Young smiles since they opened. I'm very disappointed that they will no longer accept patients that receive Badger care insurance (Medicade). I'm sure it had left a burden on not only my family but many other families in the local Manitowoc area! Not only have my kids now had to miss all of there cleanings it will take time to find a good pediatric dentist and have to schedule out a ways.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This place absolutely ruined my daughter's teeth. The dentists incompetent and half can't do every procedure dentists should offer. Instead of filling my daughter's cavity they bullied me into putting silver diamate on it and it completely ruined my daughter's teeth. They refused to fix it and we're extremely rude. Don't bring your kids here.

They are so patient, calm, and kind. My daughter has a huge fear of the dentist but just a couple minutes with the dental hygienist and she starts to relax! Thank you so much for all you do for your patients!💓

Everything to "distract" a kiddo from some of the scary parts of a dental appointment are there. From videos they can watch to cool sunglasses to wear-- my boys are always in great hands. We love it here.
