    He is great and what an amazing staff. My daughter has been going since a toddler and now she’s almost 6. Loves going there and feels very comfortable. That’s so important. The ease how he talks and sings to her is comforting. And Miss Stephanie the hygienist is fabulous. I’m so happy that my friends recommended this place.

    This was our first time at the office. My daughter was having pain in her tooth. I called and they were able to take us the same day. Christine was extremely helpful and took all our information and called our insurance prior to us coming there (all with in an hour). Staff was fantastic from start to finish. Dr. Mike is excellent with the kids. My daughter was not scared at all. I highly recommend this office. My daughter has a great experience and the price box and the balloon at the end made her day!

    My family loves the Tootharium! My son is 5 and gets so excited going to Dr Mike. Dr Mike puts so much effort into making the kids feel comfortable by crafting a dental visit into an experience. My son loves every minute of his visit. And I of course love Dr Mike as a extremely talented Dentist! I will recommend him and his team to everyone.

    Dr. Mike is incredible! My kids can’t wait to see him every 6 months. Imagine that? Children who can’t wait to go to the dentist?! He is so caring, sings cute songs to the kids while he works, and most importantly… he’s an excellent dentist! The staff is so friendly and the office is super clean and decorated just for kids. I can’t say enough about how lucky we are to have Dr. Mike!

    Love this place. Colorful painted wait room with video games after being kindly greeted. Michelle was so engaging making my son feel at ease during his cleaning. Fun wall paper to keep kids distracted while waiting for Dr Mike. He is so fun, singing while getting the job done. Last, a kids favorite, picking out a toy from the boxes and hat from the hat wall. Super helpful staff over the phone as well! Going to the dentist is not dreadful here for any kid!

    From the moment we walked in the door the office was welcoming and fun! No one minded that my daughter (who is almost 3) ran around the lobby banging on the toys and making a lot of noise. It was truly a place for young children to feel welcomed. The hygienist was very patient and accommodating. I had to sit with my daughter on my lap and she worked on her level. In a similar way, Dr Mike also made her feel comfortable, singing silly songs. There was then lots of praise and prizes for my daughter which made her excited and she enjoyed her visit. If I had to point out a negative at all, we were left in the room for about ten minutes waiting for Dr Mike after the hygienist was done. Not a big deal and I will definitely be returning. All the tools were left out though and of course that’s where my daughter gravitated to! Would 100% recommend this practice!!

    The absolute best pediatric dentist around. Caring and funny, Dr. Mike has treated both my girls and helped us through some difficult dental decisions. And his staff is as amazing as he it.

  • 5/5 Kellie D. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a wonderful experience! Dr. Mike was patient and kind with my special needs child. The staff was awesome too!! I have been searching for a good dentist for my son for years. I am so happy I finally found one!! I can’t say enough good things!

    The Tootharium is the absolute best kids dentist office. The staff and Dr. Mike are amazing!

  • 5/5 Courtney S. 6 months ago on Google
    Dr. Mike and his entire staff are amazing! They are so welcoming when you walk in the door and truly make a dental visit a fun experience! Today my kids both needed a little more extensive work and Maribel explained all the steps to them and showed each of them the tools and materials so they weren’t scared and knew what to expect and Dr. Mike sings them through each step! I can’t say enough about how great The Tootharium is. Thanks everyone!

    Dr Mike and his staff are all wonderful! highly recommend. He explained everything so well, took his time and went above and beyond. He was also very understanding of my concerns as a parent. I’m so happy to have him as my child’s dentist. I came here for a second opinion and left feeling confident that I got the best treatment for my child.

  • 5/5 Deena O. 7 months ago on Google
    Dr. Mike and office staff are absolutely wonderful and made my son so comfortable. I live far away but was in need of a good dentist as my son needed care right away and they were very accommodating. Dr. Mike made my son smile even though he was not feeling well and loved his singing and jokes which put him at ease. I highly recommend this practice and am making the switch and will travel an hour to the office for the exceptional care we received! Thank you so much!!!

    First good dentist experience for my sensory sensitive kiddo, not just good but amazing. They really know how to take the pressure off, and every person helped him feel happy and comfortable.

  • 5/5 Alison S. 1 year ago on Google
    My daughter Autumn loves going to the dentist. It feels like an experience to her rather than something torturous. She takes care of her teeth and loves Dr Mike’s singing. Cavity free again.

  • 5/5 Daniela G. 10 months ago on Google
    Phenomenal job done by all at The Tootharium. Everyone was so warm and welcoming to my 2.5 year old son and they made his first trip to the dentist one with only smiles and no tears. They really are amazing at what they do!

  • 5/5 Jason C. 10 months ago on Google
    It is a rarity that you come across a pediatric dentist like Dr. Mike. He is truly passionate about his patients and the level of care is beyond anything we have experienced. My sons have been coming to him since their first dentist experience. Not only is his practice second to none in terms of environment for children, the staff is excellent and you can tell he runs a practice that embodies a culture around delivering excellent patient experiences. everything from the design of the office to the staff are built around kids having an amazing experience. As a parent of a child with special needs, Dr. Mike and his team go above and beyond in navigating and making the experience great not only for the kids but the parents too.They are truly a special group of people.

  • 5/5 nat m. 6 months ago on Google
    Best dentist hands down. I wish he saw adult patients. The hygienists are amazing! Very friendly, extremely personable and make my kids feel comfortable. Dr Mike is heaven sent. It warms my heart to know my kids will have a great experience at their dentist (unlike the torture I went through growing up). There is ample street parking and also a lot in the back. The office offers games, tvs, a new Pac-Man arcade machine and tons of sensory toys for your kids. They also have a “toy store” that kids can choose toys from once they are done. I cannot recommend this office enough! My kids are constantly asking when their next appointment is because they are excited to go.

  • 5/5 Sally N. 11 months ago on Google
    Awesome experience. My kids love coming to see Dr. Mike. They enjoy him singing and getting the goodie bag at the end. Very nice and compassionate staff.

  • 5/5 Jissely S. 1 year ago on Google
    My kids have been visiting Dr. Mike and his team at The Tootharium since my daughter was 2 yrs old. 8 yrs later and Dr. Mike and his team continue to be the absolute best! We had a wonderful visit today as always! We moved almost an hour away and refuse to find someone closer! My kids look forward to their visit each time! Dr. Mike & his team make them feel comfortable and it's always so much fun to visit! His staff is just simply amazing! Love every single one of them! So if you're looking for a pediatric dentist, look no further! We highly recommend Dr. Mike & his team! Thanks for the awesome visit today The Tootharium Team! We will see you in 6 months!

  • 5/5 Cheislyn M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place for my little one! He actually gets super excited about going to the dentist. They are great with kids. My second one will definitely be going here as well. 100 percent recommend!

  • 5/5 Jamie 1 year ago on Google
    Our kids have been going to Dr. Mike for years now and we love him and his staff! They are so kind, patient and understanding. My only wish is that WE could see him too as adults! We highly recommend The Tootharium!!

  • 5/5 Stephanie L. 2 years ago on Google
    I started to bring my son to Dr. Mike when he was 3years old - every experience in the office has been amazing. From the moment you walk through the door, the receptionists welcome you with a bubbly personality and are always willing to help. The hygienists are so gentle with the children and thoroughly explain everything to them so there is zero fear - Dr.Mike loves his work and it shows! My son loves going to the dentist and it’s such a relief as a parent knowing he enjoys the experience as well! Highly recommend The Tootharium!!

  • 5/5 Tara T. 1 year ago on Google
    We love Dr. Mike and the entire staff. They are always professional and caring. Everyone there makes both the kids and parents feel at ease. They take their time and explain everything thoroughly. My daughter looks forward to her dentist appointments! Couldn't ask for a better practice.

  • 5/5 colleen w. 1 year ago on Google
    I was super anxious about finding a dentist for my non verbal autistic 3 year old and after hearing others recommend The Tootharium and Dr. Mike, I knew I had to give them a try. I was blown away with how easy the visit was and how patient the hygienist & Dr. Mike was. They made us feel like our family was not different and they really took their time to make my child feel comfortable. We will definitely be making them our permanent dentist and I already can’t wait to take her back for her next visit.

  • 5/5 Katherine P. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a wonderful first visit at Tootharium. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, especially for my nervous four-year-old son. The office is very inviting. As a parent I felt very supported in the process and was pleased to feel like the conversation between myself and the dentist was a discussion. We were strongly recommended to come here, and we would advise others to do the same.

  • 5/5 NICOLE F. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff was very friendly. My daughter felt like she was home! The hygienist who did her cleaning and X-rays was so sweet and kind. Dr Mike was extremely patient and knowledgeable he made her feel safe . She left telling me “ mom I love going to the dentist!” Front desk check in and check out was a breeze . Overall a great experience.

  • 5/5 luisa p. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely LOVED the Tootharium and so did my six year old son. From the moment we walked in until our last minute of walking out the door. Everyone is great here. Jenny, the receptionist was amazing. Naz, the hygienist was super friendly and engaged with my son. And Dr. Mike is wonderful. Like can adults go here too! I am super happy I found a dentist office whom I would highly recommend. Thank you Tootharium!
