Kidz Place Dentistry - San Diego, California

Bethany

We had the best experience at Kidz Place Dentistry! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and so great with kids. The office is bright, clean, and designed to make children feel comfortable.

Dr. Hammer is absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly patient, kind, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that both kids and parents can understand. My child was a little nervous at first, but Dr. Hammer’s gentle approach and friendly demeanor put them completely at ease. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to make dental visits a positive experience.

I can’t recommend this office enough! If you’re looking for a pediatric dentist who is skilled, compassionate, and amazing with kids, Dr. Hammer and her team are the best choice. We’ll definitely be coming back!

So happy we found an amazing dentist for our kids. Dr. Hammer and her team make visits a breeze and really know how to keep kids comfortable and relaxed during cleanings. The office atmosphere is great for children of all ages and temperaments. The front desk staff and hygienists are wonderful with kids, and Dr. Hammer's care is top-notch. She's experienced and explains dental hygiene in a way kids understand and remember - my kids' brushing and flossing improved thanks to her educational approach. We especially appreciate never feeling like just another family. It's hard to find a practice like this and we're very thankful for Dr. Hammer and her team!

We have been coming to Kidz Place Dentistry for 2 years now and have had such a wonderful experience. All the staff have been the sweetest and my daughter looks forward to her dentist appointments (if it were up to her, we would come more often). We have had Anna and Ruby as our hygienists and both have been so patient and kind during my daughter’s cleanings. Dr. Hammer has been amazing and is thorough during our appointments and never feel rushed. She takes the time to answer questions and is transparent with any potential recommendations for future. I cannot recommend Kidz Place Dentistry enough!

We are so thankful to have found Dr. Hammer and Kidz Place Dentistry! We came here for a second opinion after feeling unsure about the treatment plan from another practice that seemed to be pushing unnecessary fillings for my then 6-year-old. Dr. Hammer was incredibly honest and offered an alternative plan involving sealants and close monitoring. She clearly explained every step and the possibility that fillings might eventually be needed, but she gave us the confidence and knowledge to make the best decision for our child.

At our very first appointment, I learned more than I had in multiple visits to our previous dentist. Dr. Hammer is thorough, patient, and truly takes the time to explain everything. My older daughter has sensitivity to suctioning noises due to prior hearing loss issues, and Dr. Hammer has gone above and beyond to slowly acclimate her to the suctioning. Thanks to her gentle approach, my daughter is now completely comfortable with it!

Dr. Hammer also works closely with our orthodontist to ensure the best care coordination, which has been such a relief. The headphones and TVs on the ceiling are a great touch, making visits even more comfortable for the kids. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and truly wonderful to work with.

We feel so confident in the care our children are receiving here. Thank you, Dr. Hammer and team, for everything you do!

Dr Hammer was incredible when we had to get a lip tie revision for our little 3 week old baby. She was calm, capable and walked us through the whole experience with confidence and compassion. Her and her staff made what could have been a stressful experience a total breeze! We were so impressed with their space, how family-friendly, modern and clean it looks. They all checked in on us frequently after the procedure and we felt very well cared for!

Overall a very positive experience for our 8 years old. The office staff as well as nurse and doctor Hammer were all very kind and focus to make a dentist visit the best experience fir the little ones. They explained everything with attention to details and being empathetic and understanding that some of the procedures and tools might be scary. They took good care to reduce any fear.

Bethany was so kind she made me feel comfortable. I’m not a big fan of the dentist but this place is super nice and amazing. Bethany was super sweet and talked to me about what kids want to hear like candy and vacation. Dr. Hammer is also very kind and sweet. I love coming here so much!!!! And I can’t wait to come back!!!!!

The Mecca of Pediatric Dentistry! I’ve been in search for a pediatric dentist that treats kids with the utmost care. My three children have had a teeth cleaning and check-up here and my son recently had one of his teeth extracted. Both experiences were amazing. From the moment we walked in until we left the office they were able to put all kiddos at ease. Dr. Hammer works magic and is probably one of the sweetest people you’ll meet. She’s gentle, kind and knows what she’s doing. The dentist assistant Bethany and Ruby made every effort to help kids feel comfortable and happy. The atmosphere is very positive and decorations and decor are so welcoming. I’m happy to finally find a place I can take my kids without the smoke and mirrors with billing as they share costs upfront before work and total matches what you actually pay. Vicki is also amazing taking care to send reminders and handle our scheduling and checking-in and out. Sooo lucky to have found this place for my kiddos!
