I want to share my experience with Heights Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. I took my daughter here for a second opinion after Jamboree Dentistry told me she needed a deep cleaning. After examining her, Heights Pediatric Dentistry explained that she did not need a deep cleaning at all. I really appreciate their honesty and professionalism. They were very nice, made my daughter feel comfortable, and did a great job cleaning her teeth. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were honest about what she actually needed instead of recommending unnecessary treatment. I’m very happy I decided to get a second opinion and would definitely recommend Heights Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics!

The most amazing office staff! They listen and truly care and understand life happens. They work so hard to accommodate appointment times with school and I love how much they celebrate the kids. Dr Darcy is a wonderful orthodontist and we highly recommend Heights Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics.

We consistently have very positive visits to Heights Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Lindhorst is so sweet with my sons (ages 4 and 1) and puts them at ease with routine dental care.

I took my 10 month old for his first dental check up and we had a great experience! Yvette and Dr. Lindhorst were both very caring, informative and helpful. I was nervous about the first appointment but I could not have asked for a better experience.
