**10/10 – Highly recommend Happy Hoppers Pediatric Dentistry!** Happy Hoppers is an amazing pediatric dental office. We had a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in until the end of our visit. The front desk staff greeted my children and me warmly, making us feel welcome right away. The dental assistants were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and so kid-friendly. They kept my children calm throughout the visit. Dr. Jagad was fantastic with my kids even my one-year-old did surprisingly well because of how gentle and caring they were. We came to Happy Hoppers after having a very negative experience at Kangaroo Smiles, and the difference was night and day. When I called to schedule our appointment, I explained what had happened at our previous office. The team listened, reassured me, and even took the time to carefully re-evaluate my oldest child's previous examination instead of simply accepting it at face value. You can truly feel the caring, compassionate, and welcoming atmosphere here. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make children feel comfortable and parents feel heard. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist who genuinely cares about children and provides excellent care, this is the place. I'm so glad we made the switch. **10/10, highly recommend!**
Took my 4 year old son there for a second opinion because anesthesia seemed like the only option with the dentist he was currently going to. From the time we arrived my son felt comfortable and they were able to treat him without anesthesia. I am a very happy mom now and my son a very happy hopper from now on.
Great experience for my 9-year-old daughter! The staff was friendly, patient, and made her feel very comfortable. The dentist was caring and professional, and the visit went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!”
I had a terrific experience! It was my nieces first time and they were so quick and efficient with taking us in . The lobby was very clean , bright and welcoming for children . She absolutely loved the chalk wall they had. For the first time I saw a kid crying to leave the dentist . The dentist himself was very sweet and patient with her . Demonstrated his tools and even let her hold one to make her feel more comfortable. I will definitely be coming back and transferring my other children here
I LOVE it here. I left a place that I really wasnt a fan of to go here and was very happy that I did that. I was greeted with a smile. The place is bright and everyone was extremely helpful! Im taking my son as well for braces as well. Everyone seemed to know what theyre doing, teamwork impeccable to get clients in and out. There was zero judgement when i told them i really struggle with brushing my daughters teeth. My daughter had crown and fillings and she did just great! She said "the air smelled like a bakery!" And got to watch her favorite show while this was done! Thanks very much!!!
The BEST decision I’ve ever made was bring my son to Happy Hoppers Dental! Dr.VaiBhav and his team were incredibly awesome & supportive. Yolanda did an amazing job introducing herself and making sure my son knew that everything is going to be okay and they’re only there to help. First impressions matter with children, they will remember the first encounter forever and he walked out of there saying he loved the dentist and how the employees @ the dental office were so nice. I am at peace knowing my son wont be nervous, scared or uncomfortable at his next 6 month check up. If your child has a hard time going to the dentist, please check out Happy Hoppers – you won’t be disappointed!! Thank you @ Happy Hoppers for the great experience & for the patience you guys are GREAT!
