Such a great first experience! We called in a panic because our baby had something going on in her mouth (not just a routine checkup), and they understood right away and got us in that same day — we really appreciated that. The waiting room was clean and kept our baby entertained, and the exam room was spotless too. Amarellis was so sweet and attentive with our little one, and Dr. Steve was fantastic — patient, thorough, and clearly great with kids. We left feeling so relieved and well taken care of. Highly recommend!
We have been coming to Dr. Solow and Team for 20 years now, and it has been an enjoyable experience every time! My oldest son received his braces at the practice, and my 2 younger children continue to visit for their regular checkups. I am always impressed by how comfortable they make the children feel, especially since my boys are not always the easiest patients. The team is consistently accommodating with our school and work schedules, and we appreciate the flexibility with emergency appointments. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone seeking excellent care for your children. Thank you for everything you do!
The entire team here was so helpful and professional. Great location right in center city.
Absolutely blown away by the service here ! From front desk welcoming staff to the fun video games and books and prizes for kids. Our hygentist Viviana is such a natural with kids and has made our kids love the dentist from the start ! Highly recommend this practice
Jenna and the rest of the team of assistants are incredibly helpful, friendly and efficient. They are truly a pleasure to work with and talk to every time I call. Thank you for helping us!
