Dentistry 4 Children & Teens 2 - Jacksonville, Florida

My 18month old had an accident at home and her teeth were pushed up into her gums and not her smile is no longer visible. Sonja and the Dr we’re so helpful and gave me great guidance on next steps. The front desk was compassionate and considering that my insurance was out of network, the prices for this emergency exam were reasonable.

I needed an emergency visit due to an abscess, and dentistry 4 kids came recommended by my pediatrician. They scheduled us for the next morning without asking for a separate visit to do their own imaging (regular dentist did not have any openings). My needle phobic son did not feel the numbing shot or the extraction. Tear free visit! Becca and Dr. Bolivar were amazing. Dr Sun is a favorite of ours too.

Couldn’t be more pleased with this office! Our family traveled down to Middleburg, Florida so our children could spend the summer with their grandparents. Within 48 hours, our daughter had slipped on a bath mat and severely injured her upper teeth. We took her to an emergency room and they recommended to get emergency dental X-rays. We started calling local pediatric dentist offices, and Dr. Martinez office was the ONLY one that opened up their schedule and office to us. The office staff, hygienist, and doctors were so friendly and treated our daughter with kindness and care. 10/10 highly recommend

This place is a scam
I’ve been bringing my son here since he was 3, he now about to be 7. EVERY SINGLE visit they are wanting to do cavity fills
Everytime I took him to the doctor we would schedule for his fillings which made no sense
They were trying to say he developed new cavities. $300 I was paying each time until it dawned on me something wasn’t right
Decided to take him to a different dentist and miraculously he has no cavities
Nothing but a cash mill

This review is for the Oakleaf location. I wasn't aware that there's another office until the day of our appointment. The location is very convenient. The lobby area was very clean and it has video games. They are very thorough and explained everything. It took a while to get in as a new patient. It was worth the wait. Thank you for the great service!

I was relieved to discover Dentistry 4 Kids and that I could locate a dentist at a reasonable price. We were given an approximate cost for the operation, including insurance, at the initial appointment. To continue with the operation, we had to pay the estimated amount. The "actual" charge for the operation, which was roughly $300 higher than the projected cost, was sent to us as soon as we paid and had the procedure.

They did not inform us of the actual bill until after the surgery was completed which seems confusing because, once more, the bill was actually issued right away following the procedure. In such scenario, they may have held off on carrying out the treatment until the actual bill itself arrived, at which point we could have decided whether or not to move further. Now we are currently burdened with a large bill.

Moreover, their systems were unavailable on the day of the operation when the estimated cost was needed. I was asked to write down my card information by the front desk agent so they may give it to their billing business for payment. Another staff member was on the phone with their billing business, verbally giving them the card details of another individual, while I was waiting at the front desk. When giving the information, there was no discretion. While the patients were waiting in the lobby, she read aloud the card number, expiration date, and the three digits. Again, there was nothing discreet about that, which is why it seemed so disconcerting to me. It could have been anyone jotting down or recording the data.

The doctor was excellent, the staff was pleasant, and the building was clean and I would have loved for my child to continue being a patient but there is major room for improvement in their business practices.

My kids have been coming here for 10 years. They absolutely love coming to the dentist. It is such a family and kid friendly environment. Highly recommend.

My time with this dentistry was AMAZING. From the first phone call everything was smooth and easy.

We had a dental emergency for one of my young children and could not find a place that would help us quickly - whether that meant giving us a call back or pointing us in the right direction. However, this place, Dentistry 4 Children & Teens 2 (Argyle/Crosshill Blvd) was on it. They offered us a self-pay option IMMEDIATELY after hearing our situation and understanding that our insurance wasn’t accepted there. We had an appointment in less than 24 hours from first contact, and we couldn’t have been more glad or thankful.

When I arrived to the facility with my child I was immediately impressed. I walked in and the atmosphere was created to (in my opinion) not be overly stimulating. It wasn’t too bright and colorful, but calm, quieter, and welcoming. There were plenty of things for kids to play with in the waiting area - if you even have the chance to wait! We were taken back for the exam almost immediately - and this is something I am grateful for. Our tech/assistant/hygienist was so sweet to my child and was easygoing. She understood that this was our first time visiting and that it would likely be a significant visit. The doctor came to us rather quickly and offered advice that sounded as she were talking about her own child. We agreed on the proposed plan and moved quickly from there. We even had my little one laughing and everyone was glad to hear it and not frustrated by the sounds. After the meds were given, extraction performed, and release from care we were led to the (commonly) dreadful pay area. My experience here was unlike another, as well. I was under the impression that my visit was going to be double of what I was shown - this may be usual for this place, but I was blown away by the kindness and generosity of the ENTIRE staff. I walked away from the counter holding back tears of joy because of how wonderfully they treat my child and I!

TL;DR - All of the staff were immediately present, kind, helpful, and lovely and I wish I would’ve gotten their names while I was there - I honestly forgot to because I was just overwhelmed with their kindness. Our service was quick, personal, and easy. I was so glad with my experience and the kindness of all involved in my child’s care that I almost cried after paying for our services. I wasn’t on the edge of crying because of cost or difficulty, but because I was so glad for the good treatment of my family and the unexpected kindness and gentleness towards us.

Thank you so much for treating us so well and helping us so quickly!
