Thank you so much for leaving us a kind review! We enjoy caring for our community.
Fantastic experience: Best pediatric dentist in all of California, highly recommended
Thank you for the great recommendation. Your kind words mean a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: Staff was amazing and very friendly. Patient with my 2 year old and explained everything as it was happening. Took extra time to sit and talk to us about anything and everything. Highly recommend!
We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled that you had a pleasant experience with our team. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Our kids LOVE going to the dentist, everyone is so wonderful with the kids from toddlers through high schoolers. Can’t recommend more highly.
Thank you for the great recommendation. Your kind words mean a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: We love Dr. Groat and his staff they are always so friendly and welcoming. My two littles love coming here. I love how patient they are with the kids, answering every one of their questions and mine.
We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled that you had a pleasant experience with our team. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I brought my son here for a second opinion on some potential cavities and I'm so glad that I did! Dr. Groat and the team took such good care of my little boy! He enjoyed every visit even though he was getting a lot of work done. They were able to squeeze us in for all the appointments before we move across the country. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your valuable feedback! Happy, healthy patients are our highest aspirations!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Dr. Groat and his team! Everyone in the office is so kind, friendly, and genuinely great with kids. Shout out to the front staff too. Everyone is always polite, patient, and welcoming. They're also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to insurance and costs, which I really appreciate. Everything is explained clearly and upfront, so you have time to make informed decisions about your child's care. My favorite thing about this office is their focus on prevention and education. That was something we were completely missing at our previous dentist, which was really geared toward adults. In fact, when I asked about educating kids on dental care there, I was basically told, "Yeah, we don't really do that here." At Dr. Groat's office, it's the exact opposite. Almost every visit includes reminders and encouragement about brushing and flossing, and I love having the dental team help reinforce those healthy habits. Sometimes kids listen a little better when it isn't coming from Mom! The office itself is so much fun. They decorate for the seasons, the atmosphere is welcoming, and they even have a retro Pac-Man game that my son loves. I've also never had an issue with wait times. I've brought my son in for a cleaning during my lunch break and made it back to work on time with no stress. Compared to our old dentist, where I practically had to budget an extra hour and a half for every appointment, that's amazing. If you're looking for a kid-friendly dentist who truly prioritizes your child's comfort, well-being, and overall experience, this is the place. Dr. Groat and his team have made going to the dentist a positive experience for my kiddo, and that means everything. Thank you, Dr. Groat and team, for all that you do!
We appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear about your positive experience.
Fantastic experience: Amazing practice for kids ! The dental hygienist are patient with the kids . Both of mine had adhd and anxiety and they feel safe and comfortable here . Everything is explained to them which helps as well . Dr Groat is so through and kind. Love this place ! Wish I could come here myself .
We greatly appreciate your kind words. We have a commitment to excellence and love doing what we do. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My visit to the dentist with my 4-year-old daughter today was absolutely fantastic. The office was impeccably clean and welcoming, complete with a thoughtful note on the door for my little one. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Dr. Groat was not only professional but also exceptionally patient and kind, making my daughter's first dentist visit enjoyable and memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone in search of top-notch dental care. I couldn't be happier to have found such a wonderful place. Update 6/3/26: I’ve been bringing my daughter to Dr. Groat for the past two years, and I can’t say enough good things. Dr. Groat is amazing, and the entire staff is so kind, professional, and great with kids. We love how they keep everything calm—especially the little rewards for each step, which help my daughter cooperate and stay calm. We truly appreciate this place and will continue coming back!
Thank you for the amazing review. We love it and we are so appreciative!

Fantastic experience: We had such a great experience at our daughters’ appointment today! The entire staff was kind, patient, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. They made my girls feel comfortable and cared for, which means everything as a mom. The dentist was gentle, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We will share this with the entire team to let them know to keep up the good work.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Groat and his staff are very kind and patient. They were all wonderful throughout the entire visit.This was by far, the most calm my child has been at the dentist, ever! They kept my child and I informed of what was happening every step of the way. I really liked that they encouraged autonomy by allowing my child to select her preferred flavor of toothpaste and fluoride as well as the color of toothbrush that she liked best. They also helped my child understand that certain foods and drinks are not the greatest choices when it comes to dental care. They even gave her a tooth snack guide that delineates common food and drinks and the likelihood of causing cavities. Furthermore, the business website was easy to navigate. I was able to read about Dr. Groat’s practice and also request a callback all via online. I was contacted the very next morning and my child was scheduled to come in the following business day. The pre-visit forms were also easy to complete. The online fillable forms were accessible via a link sent to my cell which was very practical. I didn’t have to print the forms and bring them to the office at all which I appreciated. I also like the appointment confirmation and reminders via text. More importantly, I loved that there is parking on site! I highly recommend Dr. Groat’s Pediatric Dentistry office!
We love this review! Thank you for taking the time to share it!

Fantastic experience: We have been going with Dr. Groat since 2017. The staff & Doctor have been amazing all this time, Specially coming from Catalina Island they always work with our schedule. What makes me more happy and recommend Dr Groat to everyone I know is that My girls LOVE going to the dentist.. they look forward every single time. Dentist can be traumatizing but Dr. Groat knows exactly how to do it and hide those instruments, They have no Idea they are getting their gums numb to cover cavities while watching a movie lol which is the favorite part for my girls when getting treatments done is watching a movie! Dr. Groat and the staff deserve a 20 out of 10!!!
We are so grateful for your kind review. Thanks for sharing your rating with us and the community.
Fantastic experience: My kids love going to Dr Groats office and wish cleanings were monthly! The staff from the moment you arrive at check in is warm, welcoming and friendly.

Thank you so much for your great review of our office and staff! We greatly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: This is the best pediatric dentist around. My husband was a patient of his father as a child, and we decided to bring our kids here when it was time. Appointments are easy to schedule. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. My children enjoy choosing a treat from a cool catalog, which always excites them. They are always happy to visit Dr. Groat, he takes his time to make them feel comfortable and remembers details like their favorite sports. The office is very special, and I would recommend it 10/10.
Thank you for the kind review! We are committed to excellence in care and are honored by the trust you placed in us!

Thank you so much! It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback.
Fantastic experience: My grandson is a typical 2yr. old. His first visit at 18 months, no tears, happy, inquisitive. Since that visit, today’s visit, he’s a little fearful. Fearful because he’s had blood drawn, and recently a flu shot. Dr. Chris is instinctively gentle, caring and COOL!! I have all the trust in this office from walking through the front door to the back of the office. Their number ONE priority is your child, and it shows. ❤️ Thank you Dr. Chris, and staff.
Fantastic experience: One of the best doctors I've ever met ! Both of my kids love Dr. Groat!! Highly recommend to everyone
Thank you for the amazing review. We love it and we are so appreciative!

Fantastic experience: Doctor Groat and his team have always made us feel as comfortable as possible. My son is visually impaired and has a little anxiety around doctors, but they have done everything to try to make him more comfortable and fun so he’s not scared. My son had to have two teeth extracted under anesthesia and Doctor Groat was amazing at letting us know how things were going and was always available if we had any concerns. I highly recommend this Dentist Office for your littles, especially if you’re from the military and trying to find a place that takes TriCare (I believe they still take TriCare).
Thank you for the amazing review. We love it and we are so appreciative!
Fantastic experience: We love Dr. Groat & his wonderful staff, it is always a wonderful experience visiting his office and getting his caring & expert care.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and the staff/ dentist were so patient and kind with my daughter. We will be needing dental work done so we will see how that goes but so far exam and cleaning were a great and tear free experience. :) I wanted to add that the hygienist that we saw and I’m forgetting her name but she was amazing and definitely made my daughter feel less afraid!
Thank you! Our team members are delighted to hear your comments, and we are pleased to provide valued services.
Fantastic experience: We had our first visit with Dr. Groat and it was as smooth as can be! The office is welcoming, Dr. Groat is super personable and everyone is very kid-friendly. We had Ms. Christy as our hygienist and she was the best! We are a military family with lots of dental offices under our belt - so we can tell you, it’s hard to find a gem like this. 10/10 would recommend. We can’t wait to go back!
We are so grateful for your kind review. Thanks for sharing your rating with us and the community.
Fantastic experience: Best pediatric dentist in town! Highly recommend especially if your child(ren) are towards the sensitive side of teeth. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: New to the area and was recommended Dr. Groat by a family friend. Where to even begin?! From the special one on one treatment, to the incredibly welcoming staff, and of course the wonderful care from everyone. Going to the dentist can definitely be intimidating for the littles but Dr. Groat has such a fun way of explaining the appointment and making them feel safe. By far the best dental experience we’ve ever had!
Thank you for your kind words! We strive to provide the best in comfort and quality care.
Fantastic experience: A very amazing experience! The whole staff is very nice, patient, and so professional.

Thank you so much for your great review of our office and staff! We greatly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Groat. My child had been severely traumatized by previous dental experiences, and the thought of another visit was a source of great anxiety for both of us. However, our experience with Dr. Groat was nothing short of transformative. From the moment we walked into the clinic, the warm and welcoming environment immediately put us at ease. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and understanding, taking the time to explain each step of the process to my child in a way that was both comforting and easy to understand. Dr. Groat was exceptional. He was patient, gentle, and extremely skilled in handling my child's fears, making sure my child felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire visit. What stood out the most was the genuine compassion and empathy shown by Dr. Groat and their team. They turned a potentially traumatic experience into a positive one, and for that, I am immensely grateful. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist who is not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate and understanding, I highly recommend Dr. Groat. They have truly made a positive impact on our lives, and we will be forever thankful for their exceptional care.

Fantastic experience: I recently switched to Dr. Groat Pediatric Dentistry for my boys, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. Our experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure my boys felt comfortable throughout the entire visit. Dr. Groat himself was fantastic - he was gentle, patient, and took the time to explain everything in a way that both my boys and I could understand. His expertise and care were truly top-notch. I am so grateful to have found the best dentist office for my boys. I highly recommend Dr. Groat Pediatric Dentistry to any parent looking for a caring and professional dental experience for their children.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Groat and his staff are AMAZING!!! He has been out Kiddos' dentist for the past 6+ years and they LOVE coming to see him. Everybody here is super helpful, knowledgeable & friendly!!! Our Kiddos' teeth are doing GREAT thanks to Dr. Groat!!!!
Thank you for the kind review! We are committed to excellence in care and are honored by the trust you placed in us!
Fantastic experience: I was so nervous to take my kids to the dentist because of my experiences as a child. Let me tell you Dr Groat and his staff put my mind at ease. They took their time with the kids, they explained everything in a way the kids would understand and let them see and touch the tools. Julie was so sweet and helpful in keeping mommy calm the entire time. They gave us some very helpful tips and each child received a little prize for doing well with their visit. I’m so thankful we found someone that does so well with the kids! My 5 year old said “they’re a fun dentist and they get 3 thumbs up! So I’m going to need 2 people for that!”
Thank you so much! Our team loves seeing these reviews!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Groat and his Staff are wonderful. This has been our second cavity procedure with my young children, and it was stress-free for my son…and me!
We are so happy to hear about your experience with us!
Fantastic experience: They did an amazing job of making my children comfortable and putting them at ease after they a had a terrible dental experience with a different dentist. The staff is really good with kids. I recommend them to anyone with children.
We really appreciate such kind feedback!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Groat and all his staff are so wonderful! My toddler absolutely loves going to the dentist because of how nice they are - he gets to ride up and down in the chair, they explain to him everything that is going to happen and give him a sense of control, he gets to pick out a toy from the treasure box, etc. He feels like such a big kid when and last time we left, he told me he wanted to go back again tomorrow. At one point he complained that his tooth hurt, and Dr. Groat's office was able to accommodate us for an appointment the same day. I also really like how they do not push unnecessary treatments. Choosing a pediatric dentist is essential for young kids and their comfort level and it's obvious that this dentist's office excels at making a trip to the dentist a positive experience for kids.
We are so glad to hear your feedback! Its our priority to give our patients the best experience possible. I cant wait to share this with the team.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best pediatric dentist! My son calls him “my doctor friend.” Dr Groat so patient with the kiddos and explains everything in kid-friendly terms. Both my kiddos have had some serious dental work needed and yet they aren’t scared to go here.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I cant wait to share this with the team!
Fantastic experience: My daughter always has the best time at the dentist! Yes I said good time! Lol! She loves coming and wearing the cool sunglasses and getting her teeth polished with bubblegum by Ms Jenny. Dr groat is so nice and takes time to see what I need or if I have any questions about my daughter’s teeth. The receptionists are just as nice and super sweet and the whole office just really clean! Love that they genuinely care about their patients!
