About Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics of Chattanooga
Step-by-step explanations and personal follow-up on delayed jaw surgery mark care here, with strong mentions from both young children and adult orthodontic patients.
Reviews here return often to how thoroughly the orthodontist explains each stage of treatment before it begins, from routine braces to more complex cases involving jaw surgery coordinated with an outside surgeon. Several notes describe the doctor personally calling to update families when that outside surgery was delayed, a level of follow-through reviewers found reassuring. Beyond the clinical side, siblings are often scheduled together, and the office is remembered for small touches like a fish tank that make visits easier for younger kids. Results are described as natural-looking rather than generic, with retainers singled out for praise.

Super happy with my experience. Dr. Cooper was terrific to work with and spent the necessary time to explain what he was doing. The staff is First Rate as well. Highly recommend!
My boys go here. We started at the Ringgold office but decided to follow Dr Wilson where ever he is bc he is the best. Do yourself a favor and ask for him specifically! Such an amazing dentist and so good with children making my son's feel safe and calm. But mostly he is gentle and fast, which means a lot when working on children. My 4 year old had to have work done and only had good experiences with Dr Wilson. He has the special touch. Thank you PDOC so much. And I'm proud to hear y'all on J103 as well. Lord bless Dr Wilson 😁🙏
I cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Holsinger and the office team. The office staff made sure my child was seen for a dental emergency and Dr Holsinger quickly identified that surgery was needed. The entire staff were kind and helpful throughout the process and made sure we got the services we needed.
Today was our first time at PD (we visited the Riverfront office). I was blown away from start to finish of our visit ... the girls at the front desk were warm and welcoming, the decorations and esp the fish tank were so much fun and made us feel at ease, our dental hygienist was the BEST and made us all feel comfortable and did an awesome job cleaning and explaining everything along the way, Dr Whitmire was seriously the nicest and so professional and reassuring, and then our checkout experience was delightful (I can not say enough good things about this office ... Everyone was greeting us with smiles even just in passing) *** I also witnessed the whole crew working with a child who has some special needs and was truly impressed, this child felt like home and they treated him like he was family (my heart was full witnessing this)
This place is fantastic. Dr.Wilson and staff are AMAZING!!! Everyone was so welcoming and professional! Dr. Wilson is thorough and my child felt comfortable and at ease. Highly recommend this practice, specially if you have little ones who are nervous about seeing the dentist. Can’t say enough great things about this place!
