We could not rave more about this children’s dentistry practice! From making the appts to the front desk, hygienist, and dentist… every single person we interacted with was incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient. This was our children’s first dental experience so they were understandably nervous going in. The entire team did such an amazing job making them feel comfortable… explaining everything in a way they could understand and never rushing them. They were so patient and reassuring throughout the entire visit. My daughter actually left saying it was “the best place ever” which says everything! As a parent, I could not have asked for a better first experience for my kids. We are so grateful we found such a wonderful team and would highly, highly recommend them to any parent looking for a children’s dentist!
This was one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve had at a dental place! I had inquired online for my two kids to be seen, they got back to me pretty much right away, sent the paperwork to fill out ahead of time, and when we got there the check in process was quick, easy, and they were on time! I really enjoyed how the whole office flowed, staff is really friendly, and they brought back some of my childhood memories with having two SNES gaming systems!
Dr. Loseke is incredibly thorough and kind. When you walk in, you feel welcomed by a clean environment, interactive toys (beyond screens), your child's name handwritten on the welcome sign, and friendly staff. I highly recommend Starting Point.
We took our 15-month-old here for her first dentist appointment, and the experience was wonderful. The staff was amazing and great with her, making her feel comfortable throughout the visit. We were in and out very quickly. Highly recommend!
Doctors are really helpful and calming! Soothing with children had everything under control it's like my child didn't need me to be there she was so calm and felt safe! I recommend for children!
