Fantastic experience: We have always been so happy with Dr. McDonald! He's thorough with me as a parent and great with me kids. He has been helpful ans reassuring with a scary tooth injury and great with check ups to ease our concerns.
Jenn,
Thank you for this great review! We love Dr. McDonald, and we also appreciate his chairside manner :). Your feedback is always very valuable to us, so thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in our office. We look forward to seeing you and your family at your next dental checkup :)!
Warmly,

Fantastic experience: My child looks forward to his dentist visits. He asks why he has to wait so long in between visits. Lol they are very accommodating and speak to him in a gentle manner. He gets to watch tv while he gets a cleaning. He loves getting a goodie bag and token for the prize machine at the end of every visit. This is a great place to establish a baseline about how dentist visits should go. My child loves coming to the dentist because they make the experience easy and enjoyable for a kid. Highly recommend.
Siri,

Fantastic experience: A Kids Place Dentistry is the best!!! My kids have been going there for years and each and every time the whole staff from reception to the dentist are amazing. If your kid is scared to go to the dentist bring them here.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jacobs . We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us! We count ourselves lucky for patients like you. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: My 3 children have received amazing care for the past 16years and guidance from Dr. Keith McDonald, staff (Jennifer is the best), and recently Dr. Ashley Hyunh, covering for an emergent procedure. Their network for referred specialists (Maxillofacial and Ortho) has been amazing too.

Fantastic experience: A kids Place Dentistry has been taking care of my three children for over 10 years. They have been so patient with all of my children. They truly take the time to get to know their clientele. I am so grateful to all of the Doctors, Hygienists and team workers for helping our family. If you do not have a dentist for your child, or even if you do, I would recomment A Kid's Place Dentisty for your family. It will be one decision you will be happy you made.
Thank you for the kind words, Naomi! We’re so happy your visit went so smoothly. Would you mind sharing with your friends who are due for a check-up, too? We’d love to continue providing great service to awesome patients like you. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Doctors and their staff were very nice. My kids have been seeing them for check-ups and treatments since they were young.

Fantastic experience: Dr MacDonald makes it a pleasure to be at the dentist. I can speak for my children when I say that Dr. MacDonald is a wonderful dentist who exceeds expectations. The front office staff are very friendly. Over the last 15 or so years we have had many cleanings and a couple surgeries, all very high quality! He makes the parents and patients feel comfortable and at ease! Love this office:)
Patti,

Fantastic experience: The hygienist and doctor are always wonderful and patient with my little guy. This visit he had some apprehension and they explained how they were going to clean, X-ray and examine his teeth. They take the time to answer my questions and help me figure out how to care for his oral health because it’s not always easy! They are also very responsive when you are needing to make an appointment or reschedule. My son says “I do like my dentist. It feels like they tickle your teeth a little bit.”
Alia,
It was such a joy to read your post and hear that your little guy enjoyed his visit! Yes, tickling teeth is another fun way of looking at it :)! Your feedback is very important, so we really appreciate you taking the time to share you and your son's experience in our office. We look for to providing the same great service at your next visit!

Fantastic experience: Dr. McDonald, it's so great. He has been our daughter’s dentist for 5 years now, and he saw our newborn for the first time. He ensures that parents understand what's going on and the options available to them. Very knowledgeable and caring, that's what we need for our kids care.

Fantastic experience: We love A Kid’s Place Dentistry for Children! My kiddo gets so excited to go & it’s great to have a wonderful dentist & dental clinic nearby. We feel our child is well cared for, we get great explanations & recommendations. Dr. McDonald & the staff are top notch! Update: we moved away & are so sad to leave this team.

Warmly,
A Kids Place Team!
Negative experience: We've been with them for around 2 years. There were 2 times they reschedule us a day before the appointment. Which is super inconvenient since I basically take a day off work for nothing. I know they have 48hrs policy for cancelling, I forgot to call on time but still call 44hrs before the appointment which is plenty of time for them to fill the spot. They say to RESCHEDULE I must pay $60. Which I understand the policy. However, the last two times they reschedule us last minute, they didn't even say sorry. I honestly think you should revise your policy. You can cancel on clients but when clients need reschedule you want $60. GREEDY! Some staffs are nice, some carry ugly attitude.
Sara,
Thank you for your feedback—we’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by last-minute rescheduling, especially given the impact on your time. We also apologize that you feel we didn’t acknowledge it properly at the time.
We want to clarify that we never aim to reschedule patients; however, there are times we cannot control, such as when a provider becomes ill.
We understand your concerns about our policy and will review it to ensure it’s fair and consistent.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to provide a better experience moving forward. Please reach out to me directly if you would like to discuss further. Kindly~ Lisa T. Practice Manager
Fantastic experience: We have been going to Dr. MacDonald and his team since our daughter was 3 years old. They are the most friendly and energized team making little ones feel so comfortable. The kindness and genuine care is admirable. The doctor sets the tone. He is the nicest and kindest dentist. His manner with kids is so calming. Way to go to the entire team.
John,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! It’s so great to hear how Dr. McDonald and the team have created such a positive environment for your daughter.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr. Macdonald and staff for their friendly thorough work! We had them complete a lip and tongue tie procedure on our 2 week old girl.

Fantastic experience: I have been bringing my child with special needs to Dr McDonald for the last 13 years and I like the service we have received. Dr McDonald is professional, respectful and easy to talk to. He always listen to my concerns regarding my child’s needs. I appreciate that he is patient. I highly recommend him. Another plus is that we live just blocks away from his office, so it’s nice to have a good dentist in the neighborhood.

Fantastic experience: We have been going here a long time and today confirmed why. Every person we met with today handled my two kids (now teens) with such respect for their individual needs. They were thorough and made sure the experience was positive and well-considered. Thank you for taking the time to read care notes and paying attention, even at the end of a long day. You are so appreciated!

Fantastic experience: Our technician did a wonderful job putting my kids at ease. She patiently accommodated my 4 year old’s request for a particular show and explained each step of the cleaning and exam. Dr. McDonald was attentive and went out of his way to help me understand the images, diagnosis, and treatment plan for my 13 year old. We have been coming to A Kid’s Place for years. They are the best!

We look forward to serving you and your family during your future visits!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. McDonald performed my child's frenectomy when she was around 6 months and we have continued to see him for the past 2 years. He came highly recommended from an LC and has continuously lived up to his reputation. He saved my daughter and I on our breastfeeding journey. After her oral ties were released she jumped from under 30th percentile for weight to the 80th in a few months, and I was finally out of pain from her inability to latch. We go regularly for checkups now and he is knowledgeable about root cause of dental issues and has a plethora of advice relating to diet and remineralizing for healthy teeth. It's nice to have a dentist provide other options other than just pushing fluoride treatments. His staff is also professional, gentle, and patient.
Gabi,
It was wonderful to read your review. We are so glad that our services made such a difference in you and your family's life. Your kind words bring us joy, as they represent beautifully our mission, which is to make a difference in the lives of the patients and families that we serve.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Mcdonald and his crew are great! They are always thorough, helpful and patient. Our kids have been going there since they were 2 years old...Our older son has moved on to an adult dentist, so we'll treasure the last few years we have at Dr. McD's office, with our younger son.
Donna,
Thank you so much for this great compliment, and for taking time out of your day to share your experience in our office. One of our greatest treasures is having great families like yours remain in our office until the kiddos grow up! It must be the balloon animals :)! Thank you for your kind words!

Fantastic experience: We were recommended to A Kids Place by our lactation consultant for my son’s tongue tie 2 years ago. The staff were so welcoming and made a nervous mama feel at ease.

Fantastic experience: Update: We continue to see Dr. McDonald and continue to receive excellent dental care here. I appreciate whatever changes have been made to accommodate the shift we have experienced in scheduling. We are now able to have appts. after school and receptionist works with us to find times that don’t impede school as best they can. Thank you. Dr. McDonald is a wonderful dentist and has a great team of hygienists and assistants. I have taken my children to him since they were very little and one is in college now. The care is top notch. My only beef is a discriminatory office management policy in the way they schedule patients with state dental insurance. Staff will not allow me to schedule appointments six months in advance even though our coverage is annually renewed. We are stuck scheduling 4-6 weeks from the time we need an appointment. This invariably leaves me without appointments during school breaks, meaning I have to take time off work from teaching and pull kids out of school. What bothers me the most, is that while our family makes it work, I know most patients on state insurance cannot afford to take time off, and often their kids cannot afford to miss school. This is a backwards policy that offends me to no end. And, I don’t appreciate the way that office staff meet me about this issue when I point out that the policy makes no sense if we are annually renewed versus my private coverage that is month to month! It’s just there to make state covered families take the leftovers, as usual. Hope Dr. McDonald changes this management and provides socioeconomic diversity training to his office help.
Thank you for your feedback. In order to see the thousands of patients that we do every year in our offices, we have to abide by the policies that we set in order not to overburden our already taxed front office personnel. With more and more insurances, including state-funded insurance, offering little to no customer service support, we stand by our decision to support our staff, and not make individual exceptions that can then cause further disruption and confusion due to the many policies that only verify eligibility on an ongoing monthly basis. We can assure you quality of care is of our utmost importance and these policies are what help provide that. Kindly, Lisa T. - Practice Manager
Fantastic experience: The facility and staff were fantastic. Everything was really clean And sanitary. Our dental assistant’s were fantastic as well. Dr. McDonald was kind, efficient and quick. I appreciate that they can see my twins at the same time as well, makes life a lot easier.
Thank you for the kind words, Anna! We’re so happy your visit went so smoothly. Would you mind sharing with your friends who are due for a check-up, too? We’d love to continue providing great service to awesome patients like you. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: I feel so Blessed my kiddos go to a Dental Office that truly cares and gives my kiddos Amazing care every visit

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love this dental office! My son feels completely comfortable here and actually looks forward to his visits. He’s treated in an age-appropriate way, which he really appreciates — no talking down to him like he’s still a little boy. The staff is fantastic, and Dr. McDonald is truly wonderful. The front desk team is always professional, polite, and patient, answering all of my questions thoroughly. It’s rare to find a place that blends professionalism with such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: We have only had one appointment, but so far so good. The staff were all super calm and friendly. Our previous office was very different than that. When we left, my 9 year old daughter said “I like how they just said what things were and didn’t make up names for things. I’m not 3. Then again, they should probably just tell a 3 year old what it is too.” She had a bad experience with a previous dentist and was super nervous going in. She felt respected and not patronized, loved that she had a choice of what to watch, and said the chairs were more comfortable than the previous dentist’s. I am so incredibly relieved that she had a good experience. Hopefully this means she will have much less anxiety next time she needs a cleaning. Edit: Second appointment went great too! She is happy and I’m relieved!
Michele,
Thank you for the kind words about yours and your daughter's experience in our office. Our goal is to treat each child and each family like they were our own! We are so glad that your daughter felt respected and not patronized, and that your first visit was a successful visit :)!

Fantastic experience: My three children are patients of Dr. McDonald. The office is professional and pleasant. Dr. McDonald is great and caring, I appreciate the extra care and attention he pays to his patients before and after a procedure.
Tahn,

Dr. McDonald and our team are dedicated to providing a professional and supportive environment, and your feedback truly highlights that commitment. We look forward to continuing to serve your family :)!

Fantastic experience: We’ve been here three times already for my 2 year-old, and every time has been consistently great service. Dr. MacDonald and the other staff are great about making your kid feel at ease, and they have been great about providing education to new-time parents in a practical and easy-to-digest format. I was worried initially about how the dental visits would go with my daughter, but I’ve had only positive experiences so far!
Erin,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We appreciate your feedback about your 2 year-old and your experience in our office. Your kind words reassures us that we're on the right track with how we care for our awesome patients! We look forward to seeing your and your daughter at your next visit :)!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team :)!
Fantastic experience: As always, A Kids Place and Dr. McDonald are wonderful! We love the service and care our kids receive when we are there. Dr. McDonald is very thorough and mindful of the kids when he explains things to them, particularly during more challenging procedures. He's amazing explaining things to parents, and we will continue to visit for years to come.
Kristen,
Wow, what an amazing review! Thank you so much for your thoughtful words and for sharing your experience in our office :)! Your feedback is so valuable, and we truly appreciate it! We look forward to seeing you at your next dental visit :)! Have a great summer!

Fantastic experience: Dr.McDonald is the best , he loves what he does!… After quite some time of looking for a good kid’s dentist and a team prepared to work with my children (both in the autism spectrum ) Dr.McDonald and his Renton team are amazing , he is very knowledgeable and PROFESSIONAL! He goes above and beyond to make sure my kids receive the care they deserve. My son needed a spacer and extraction while ago , then my daughter had her crowns he explained the procedure very detailed . My kids have been patients here since 2022 , I know my children are in the best hands. Thank you
Carina,

Linh,
This is a wonder review about Dr. Huynh and our Kids Place Team :)! Dr. Huynh is fantastic, and so fortunate to have her in our office :). We are so pleased that you had a quality experience in our office! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us!
Warmly,
A Kids Place Team :)!
Fantastic experience: I have been bringing my kids here for the last 10 years. It’s the only dentist they know. They have never been scared of going to the dentist and I think that speaks volumes about this place. They actually are excited to come here. Granted we make sure to keep up with their dental health, so they are not having major work done all the time. But even the few times we have, I don’t get complaints. The tokens for no cavities and the animal balloons are definitely a plus! I will take my kids here for as long as possible.
Teetee,
What a fantastic review! Thank you so much for trusting in our care and we are so glad that we've been able to create a positive experience for your kids so they are not scared of receiving dental care. We look forward to seeing you and your family at your next visit with us. Thank you for taking time out of your day to highlight your experience in our office :)!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team! :)
Fantastic experience: Great dentist for kids, always kind and welcoming!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you find our team kind and welcoming. Your support means the world to us as we continue to provide a positive experience for our young patients. We look forward to seeing you again soon :)!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team :)!
Fantastic experience: We’ve been coming here for 8 years after a friend recommended it. We love the team here. Friendly staff and greatly patient. The kids never complain about coming and they love the goody bags they get at the end of each visit. The dentist is clear in communicating any issues and explaining procedures. We hope to be long time patients here.
Thank you for the kind words, Natalee! We're so happy your visit went so smoothly. Would you mind sharing with your friends who are due for a check-up, too? We'd love to continue providing great service to awesome patients like you. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: My kids actually enjoy going to the dentist! The staff is very nice and the dentist are wonderful.
Hi Phoebe,
What an awesome review! Thank you so much! We are so that glad that we've created an atmosphere that your kids enjoy. Even though going to the dentist can sometimes be a little intimidating, we do our best to ensure that the kids feel safe and engaged in their dental care. We appreciate you taking time out to write this wonderful review!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team! :)
Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend. This is our third dentist for my two young kids and they are incredible. Especially if your kids have some fears about the dentist. They take so much care and go above and beyond the norm to make sure that you feel that your child is well taken care of. My 5 year old just had dental surgery at the Renton location and Dr McDonald really took a lot of care to make sure he felt comfortable. He also called my cell phone to check on my son at the end of the day when we got home. We also had a regular visit at the west Seattle location and he had a great time. Keep in mind, this was a child that spent the last several years at other dentists barely opening his mouth. You can’t go wrong!!!
What a wonderful review! We are so glad that your child had a great experience in our office. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us. Your feed back is so valuable, and it shapes how we create sound treatment protocols to support wonderful families like yours :)!
Warmly,
A Kids Place Team :)!
Fantastic experience: Our kid had his first visit to the dentist here. Right from the moment we entered, we were treated with compassion. All of their staff is extremely friendly, respectful and my kid loved it there.
Satyam,
Thank you so much for this fantastic 5 star review! We really appreciate you taking time out of your day to review your experience in our office :). Our goal is to continue to provide you and your family with top notch care!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team!
Fantastic experience: My kids love Dr McDonald and the entire staff here. They’re always so so kind and soo patient with my kids, especially with my child who has autism and isn’t the easiest to work with. They know exactly what to say and do to get my kids to cooperate with them; something that even I have a hard time doing
Thank you so much for this great review Sanyia! Your words mean a lot and we are so glad to hear that your child had a wonderful experience in our office. We love to hear feedback like yours, as it allows us to gauge how we're doing on our end :)! Thank you again for taking the time to review your experience, and we look forward to seeing the both of you at your next visit!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team! :)
Fantastic experience: My son was very nervous about having his cavity filled. Dr McDonald made him feel comfortable throughout his appointment and took as much time as my son needed to answer all his questions before, during and after.
This is so great Melyssa! Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking time out of your day to share your experience in our office! Stories like this really make us smile, and it also gives us confirmation that we're on the right track with our patient treatment philosophy. It is our pleasure to service you and family :)!
Warmly,
A Kids Place Team!
Fantastic experience: We have been going to a Kids Place Dentistry for 15 years. All of our kids go here and always look forward to seeing their dentist. Dr. McDonald and all of the staff are so lovely and have a way of knowing how to make the kids comfortable as well as give them all of the positive reinforcement that makes them wild about brushing and flossing at home. He is preventative in his approach - making recommendations about diet, toothpastes, and procedures looking down the road for kids based on their checkups. He made some recommendations which we were not sure about years ago to improve the look of our daughter's smile - she had spots on her teeth. He said let's keep an eye and talk about it if it seems right for you in the future. For the past year we noticed she hid her smile, and I asked her why. She told us she didn't like how her teeth looked so we knew it was time to schedule the icon procedure Dr. McDonald had recommended prior. The results were amazing, and she is smiling with confidence. Highly recommend this practice as your children's dentist!
Hello Mrs. Jones,
What an amazing story and what a wonderful review! Thank you so much for sharing yours and your daughter's experience in our office! We are so happy to hear that we've made a difference with her smile. We also appreciate your 15 years of support and trust in our care!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team :)!
Fantastic experience: We always have a great experience at A Kids Place Dentistry in Renton! We’ve been bringing my son here since he was a newborn and needed a lip procedure. They are great with toddlers! My son is pretty hesitant about doctors but he loves all the toddler friendly extras here including watching his favorite shows during the cleaning, balloon animals, and tokens for the toy machine at the end. The staff are always friendly! We drive pretty far to bring my son here but the drive is definitely worth it for a smooth and easy trip to the dentist twice a year! Oh and they give you lots of reminder texts which is greatly appreciated to avoid a missed appointment fee. We highly recommend this dentist!
Thank you Leianna for this wonderful review of our office and your experience. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we cannot thank you enough for taking time out of your day to recognize our great service :)! We also appreciate you making the trip out to our office to see us! You and your family are the reason we love what we do!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team!
Fantastic experience: I took my son for the first time to the dentist here. I would recommend this place to my friends and family for their kids. Everyone is really nice and helpful. Professional as well.
Cynthia,
Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience in our Renton office. We truly value your feedback, as it allows us to gauge how we're doing :)! Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you and your family at your next visit!
Sincerely,
A Kids Place Team!
Fantastic experience: Our family has gone to A Kids Place since our kids were little. From the time we started going to now, so many of the people working there are the same. That always tells you something about the work atmosphere! The staff is friendly and efficient. They really pay attention to the needs of the patient by listening to their concerns. When the kids were younger, the distractions (movie) and rewards (balloon animals), were a huge deal. It was a safe, consistent routine and it helped build trust. They have always encouraged our kids in their home dental hygiene. None of our kids have ever had a cavity and they always make that a big deal for them. Dr. McDonald is so great with our kids, he always talks sports and school and life. He is gentle and a very thorough, comprehensive communicator. When our oldest “outgrew” kids dentistry he was sad, Dr. McDonald was the only dentist he’d ever known. It’s a very friendly, family-like office. I highly recommend Dr. McDonald and A Kid’s Place dentistry.
Becca,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! The words that you've written really touched me. This is the type of practice that I've always wanted to build, and the types of relationships and memories that I've always worked hard to create for myself, our staff, the wonderful families that we serve, and our awesome little kiddos that grow up to become big kiddos :). In your kid's case. very tall kiddos :)! Your words really mean a lot to me and thank you so much for sharing your experience in our office. I will be sure to share this with my staff!
Sincerely,
Dr. McDonald
Fantastic experience: We LOVE A Kids Place. We moved a few years ago and tried a new dental clinic, but we just didn’t feel that same sense of privacy, attention and care. My son asked if he could go back to his dentist, Dr. McDonald.
Hi Jennifer,
This is such a great review, and a testament to the environment that we strive to create for wonderful families like yours. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we're so glad your son enjoys his visits in our office :)!
Warmly,
A Kids Place Team!
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for the wonderful experience my daughter had during her first visit at A Kids Place today. After a traumatic experience at our previous clinic, she had developed significant dental anxiety. However, Dr. Do and the entire staff made such an effort to ensure she felt comfortable and at ease. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was calm, and welcoming. Dr. Do was incredibly informative, patiently explaining every step of the process in a way that was easy for my daughter to understand. By the end of the appointment, she was actually looking forward to her next visit, something I never thought would happen! We are so relieved to have found a dental office where my daughter feels safe and truly cared for. I highly recommend A kids Place to anyone seeking a positive, compassionate experience for their children.
Hi Shana,
Thank you so much for this glowing review. We love Dr. Do! We are so glad that you and your daughter had a positive first visit in our office. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us :)!
Sincerely,

Fantastic experience: We have Dr Huynh to be our kids’ dentist recently and she is amazing! Kids and us love her as she is professional, dedicated and very kid-friendly oriented to explain and answer our questions thoroughly. We also had Dr McDonald to do a surgery for our kid which took around 3 hours as it required anesthesia service with another partner (the anesthesiologist is really amazing too that made us feel safe during the process). Highly recommend for all staff and service here!!
Kim,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We love Dr. Huynh :)! We appreciate you taking time out of your day to share the experience that you had in our office. Our entire staff works hard to ensure that you and your family receive the best service possible. Have a great day!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Sandra . We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us! We count ourselves lucky for patients like you. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: I brought my newborn here to get her tongue tie corrected. Doctor McDonald did an incredible job explaining the procedure and what to expect during our consult. He ensured me and my husband had all of our questions answered before the procedure. Although i was nervous, I knew my little one was in good hands, as there were two other individuals assisting him during the procedure. I would highly recommend all new parents to trust Dr. McDonald with the care of their children!
Thank you Erin,
What a fantastic review! Thank you for trusting me with your newborn and for showing trust in our team. We appreciate you taking time to share your experience in our office.
I look forward to working with you in the future!
Warmly,
Dr. McDonald
Fantastic experience: I’ve been bringing my children to A Kid’s Place for 3 years. All the staff have been wonderful! They are patient with my young children as they warm up to having their teeth cleaned and the balloon animals after cleaning are a big hit! Dr. McDonald is very patient and does a great job explaining to my three year old what he is doing. Highly recommend A Kid’s Place!

Fantastic experience: We’ve been with Dr. McDonald since my girls first dentist apt when they were babies. My youngest just aged out and we’re sad to be moving on. Dr. McDonald is great with my kids, he’s chill and relaxed which makes my kids chill and relaxed in the chair. Because of good nature, my daughters were never afraid to go to the dentist. The staff have always been excellent and patient and we really appreciate them. Thank you Dr. McDonald and all the staff!!!
Amelia,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Reading your words was a gift. Having kids grow up in our practice is the best compliment we can receive :)! Thank you for sharing your experience in our office!

Fantastic experience: My son has had a great experience at this dental office since he was 5 years old. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making him feel comfortable every time we visit. The facility is clean, modern, and inviting. The dentist provided thoughtful advice about the right time to consider braces, explaining everything clearly and ensuring we fully understood the options and timeline. We always feel well-informed and cared for. I highly recommend this office to anyone seeking a professional and kid-friendly dentist!
Thanks for the awesome review, Kim! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we're happy to hear we hit the mark for you. We look forward to seeing you soon. Cheers!

Fantastic experience: My kids have been attending the Renton, WA location since they were babies and now they are teens/young adults. Dr. McDonald and his staff have taken great care of my kids teeth and has always made us feel comfortable. I love the fact that their office gives parents options of different treatment methods during teeth extractions or any dental procedure instead of making me feel like putting my kids under anesthesia was the only option. My kids trust Dr. McDonald and are always excited for their appointments. The office is clean, staff are nice and knowledgeable about dental care. We moved almost 45 minutes away but we refuse to change to a different dentist.
Hi Nic,
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to review our office. Your review really means a lot to us, and we're glad that you and your family have had a good experience in our office :)! Have a great day!

Thank you so much for your very kind referral Misty, and for taking time out of your day to recognize our office :)! Customer service is our number one priority, and we are so glad that you enjoyed your experience!
Warmly,
A Kids Place Staff :)
Negative experience: This may be a wonderful dental office, but I'll never know since their front desk is completely uncooperative about answering basic questions about pricing for cash-pay patients. Asking for simple transparency about even the basic cost of a simple filling, or the basic cost of administering nitrous, was met with hostility and insults about me shopping for the "cheapest dentist" (which I wasn't), and tells me that this is not going to be an ethical business to work with. Instead, I found a dental office that isn't afraid to be upfront about their pricing, even though I know I can't hold them to anything until they see my child and a treatment plan is determined. I explained to AKP staff that I knew nothing they tell me on the phone is concrete until a treatment plan is created, but despite my very reasonable questions, I continued to be spoken to as if I was Walmart shopping for dental services. At least with the new dentist I found, I feel confident that they aren't going to "make up" prices as they go along, based on whatever they think they can get away with. These medical practitioners who refuse to lift the veil of secrecy around medical service pricing are disgusting. It's such a huge problem in this country, and I shouldn't have to pay $125 for a consultation to have you tell me that a basic filling is charged at either $150 or $800, or that nitrous is $50 or $500. Your costs should be your costs, per treatment line item, PERIOD. This truly isn't complicated if you're operating ethically. Clearly, this practice isn't.
When patients are referred to our office for a consultation, we always make sure to let parents know the cost of the consultation as it is often times not covered by insurance. We understand the challenges of figuring out the costs of healthcare and that is why we do our best to make sure that all of our treatment plans are as detailed as possible by our providers. However, until we actually see a patient, we simply cannot provide estimates because there are just too many variables that exist when diagnosing treatment for patients. We are sorry that you found our front office not helpful in their explanations. We did our best to provide this information for you during our extensive phone conversation. With that said, we are glad that you found the care that you need for your child. A Kids Place Team
Fantastic experience: Dr. McDonald is the best! He and his staff are very thorough and take the time to let my kids warm up and make sure they’re comfortable.
Thank you for your kind words Kristin! Dr. McDonald :)
Fantastic experience: My kids are so positive about going to the dentist. They look up to Dr. MC Donald. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Kristen . We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us! We count ourselves lucky for patients like you. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: What a scary ordeal to put your child under general anesthesia for the first time and also for them to have to have unexpected dental work. That said, we were in expert hands all around with this clinic. We are abundantly grateful for the care and expertise and will be childhood-long clients from here forward. Thanks, guys.
Thank you for the kind words, Michelle! We're so happy your visit went so smoothly. Would you mind sharing with your friends who are due for a check-up, too? We'd love to continue providing great service to awesome patients like you. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Got my 3 kids in and out of the office in 45 minutes. It felt like the whole operation was a well-oiled machine with no wasted time but no rush or hurry either. Awesome experience which we've grown accustomed to. Thanks to Dr. Escobar and the whole team!
Thank you for the kind words, Eric! We're so happy your visit went so smoothly. Would you mind sharing with your friends who are due for a check-up, too? We'd love to continue providing great service to awesome patients like you. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Had a consultation with Dr. McDonald regarding a referral, from a lactation consultant, for my son to have his tongue tie looked at. Dr. MacDonald was extremely thorough in explaining the process and his findings as well as discussing treatment options. We found he and his staff to be friendly, personable, and professional.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Nancy . We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us! We count ourselves lucky for patients like you. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
