Fantastic experience: I LOVE THIS OFFICE! My first visit was an emergency after my toddler fell face-first onto concrete while playing. He was understandably upset and in pain, but as soon as we walked into the office, everything changed. He immediately started saying, "Wow!" I was impressed myself and honestly wished I had a dental office like this growing up. They have a fish tank built into the wall, iPads, sensory activity walls, and fun mirrors that keeps kids engaged. During our first visit, my son was having a difficult time because of his pain. By the second visit, he was happy and excited to see the dentist. However, due to his anxiety, he unexpectedly vomited in the chair, on himself, and on me. What stood out most was the professionalism and compassion from the staff. They immediately stepped in to help with the cleanup and treated us with kindness and respect. There were no judgmental looks or awkward comments, just exceptional care, patience, and bedside manner. I am incredibly grateful for the way they cared for my son and I. This made this stressful experience so much easier. I highly recommend this office parents looking for a caring and child-friendly dental team.
Fantastic experience: When I first stepped in, I felt very nervous but Nurse Silvia made me feel real comfortable with the chair and asked if I wanted to watch anything on the TV. Dr. Tariq also made me real comfortable and explained all of the tools and what she was going to do during my visit.
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience at Westfield Pediatric Dental Group with Dr. McCabe and his assistant Martha. Dr. McCabe is extremely professional, kind, and caring, and he always makes Henry feel comfortable during his visits. Martha was incredibly patient, gentle, and friendly, taking the time to make sure Henry felt calm and safe throughout the appointment. Best experience for kids. I highly recommend Dr. McCabe and Martha to any family looking for a great pediatric dentist in Westfield! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic experience: Amazing group of dentists and assistants! My children love going to the dentist because of how good they are to them. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: My son had an amazing experience!! Very happy and highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Walk is an amazing dentist and my kids have been seeing her for over 12 years. She has helped far beyond routine care, including orthodontic plans and multiple accidents/emergencies. She is also wonderful with a younger child (or really any age) who is fearful/scared and getting them to be comfortable. I trust her completely!
Fantastic experience: Santiago loves Dr. McCabe and staff. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: The care provided to my daughter is always wonderful! Dr Tariq is so calming and is perfect for young children. She plays right along with my daughter and calls the fluoride butterfly sparkles to ease her fears. They have truly mastered pediatric care.
Fantastic experience: Dr. McCabe and Martha were absolutely exceptional during my son’s tooth extraction. They were patient, kind, and took the time to provide me with a wealth of information throughout the process. My son has special needs, and they treated him with such care, compassion, and understanding. The receptionist team also went above and beyond, taking the time to clearly explain the billing and insurance process, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend this practice for any child—special needs or not. It was evident that Dr. McCabe, Martha, and the entire team truly care about their patients and families.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience overall. Front staff is very polite and professional. Dr Jong is the best, takes time to explain everything!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is wonderful -that is why we come! Sylvia and Dr Walk are the best! They are professional, friendly, puts all of us at ease and happy to see us! We can’t ask for any better.
Fantastic experience: Dr. McCabe and his assistant Martha are the absolute best! I have a special needs daughter and they always get her teeth cleaned and cavities filled every 6 months. I have a peace of mind knowing that she is safe and will not have any teeth pain. I went to 3 dentists before we found Dr. McCabe. No one else could get in her mouth and get the job done. I will be forever grateful for the patience of this dentist office. It’s also clean and the staff is fabulous.
Fantastic experience: Every single visit has been stellar. My daughter's have mostly seen Dr. McCabe and Dr Walk. These pediatric dentists are the kindest, friendliest and the most attentive to every aspect of their dental issues. They do not rush the visit and will answer any questions /concerns I have. My girls are in their early 20s now and have been seeing them since 3 yrs old. They are ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! The office staff/receptionists and the dental hygienists are also very thorough and so pleasant. The office itself is BEAUTIFUL and so kid friendly. (TV screens on the ceiling, video games, games, huge fish tank, etc-- really cool!) My daughters' still loving going there and will go as long as they can. (even though we moved further away from them, we still go to see them 2x a year!) They are truly top notch and will take great care of your child.
Fantastic experience: We have excellent experiences with all three of my kids who approach the dentist very differently. We had gone to a different pediatric dentist previously and switched to Dr McCabe and Dr Tariq, both of whom treated our kids with extreme patience. I trust the practice very much.
Fantastic experience: We have been going here for last 10 years for two girls, and never disappointed with service.
Fantastic experience: My kids go to Westfield Pediatric and we have absolutely no complaints. They are very friendly, professional and accomodating. For example, when my daughter needed to come a different day than scheduled, they accomodated us by being able to see her on the same day we were there for our son. I highly recommend Westfield Pediatric!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is super attentive, friendly and very informative! I can't imagine going to anywhere else! My 4 yr old usually has a hard time getting off bed un the morning, but when I told him we are going to the dentist today, he jumped up yelling "Yay!! I LOVE seeing my dentist!!".
Fantastic experience: Accommodating, professional and great with special needs population.
Fantastic experience: Dr. T and her assistant are such a great team. They always provide amazing kindness, mindfulness, and care. If only they could be my dental team!
Fantastic experience: They do an amazing job here
Fantastic experience: Fred did a great job cleaning my child’s teeth zz Dr Walk is excellent , she is calm , friendly and professional .
Fantastic experience: My kids have been patients at WPDG for almost 20 years. The staff is amazing, everyone’s main priority is on the child’s comfort. The office is fun and welcoming for young patients & the older-more-established ones too.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Jong is the best!!
Fantastic experience: These dentists know how to accommodate all kinds of children that most practices are not set up to treat. My niece and nephew who are autistic are comfortable here and my nephew who is neurotypical is comfortable here too.
Fantastic experience: The staff and dentists are fabulous. Always kind, friendly and they value our time. There is never a wait and there are always many hands on deck to ensure a smooth visit.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff!
Fantastic experience: We had such a lovely first experience at the dentist for our daughter here! The staff is so kind! Dr. Tariq Was so kind and gentle with our daughter, and she was very informative! Silvia was a fabulous assistant we love her! she helped make us happy and feel comfortable! Jackie was also very helpful and delightful! We found our place for our little girl here and are very happy and confident in the care we received! Thank you wpdg!
Fantastic experience: My 3 year old son had an excellent visit with Dr. Tariq today. From the minute he was welcomed into the office, I could see how comfortable he felt. Dr. Tariq and Jasmine, the dental assistant, both had such a wonderful bedside manner that he sat through the entire exam and cleaning all by himself! I would highly recommend this practice and look forward to our next visit.
Fantastic experience: My son went in for his 6 month check up and cleaning and it was amazing! Dr. Walk and Fred were so great and my son was so happy. We love how warm and friendly all the staff is and how beautiful and child friendly the environment is. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Could not be happier with our experience with Dr. McCabe and Silvia. We were recommended to this office for my anxious child who hates going to the dentist. As soon as she walked in and saw the decor and happy staff, she felt more relaxed. Add in Silvia’s gentle and caring touch with Dr. McCabe’s friendly demeanor, knowledge and expertise with children, she trusted them and that made this mom feel relieved. So glad to have found this team!
Fantastic experience: We LOVE Westfield Pediatric Dental! Between my 13 year old, 7 year old and 18 month old, each child is treated based on their own individual needs. All the staff are so phenomenal, including Martha who made sure my youngest was at ease the entire appt today. Thank you to all the staff who make going to the dentist actually enjoyable and FUN!
Fantastic experience: The staff and dentists here are caring and professional. Their attention to the children is individualized and they go above and beyond to make sure the kids are treated well. Dr McCabe was very helpful and kind!
Fantastic experience: 1st time my child went to the dentist.She had to get her tooth removed.They were great with her.
Fantastic experience: I'm very happy we came to Westfield Pediatric Dental Group. Everyone was super kind and nice with my son. He has special needs and he loved the way everyone treated him. He felt comfortable enough to allow getting Xrays done, cleaning and the doctor checking his teeth. I'm thankful we found a great dentist practice to go to. Thank you for your kindness and lovely way to treat our kids!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Walk and the rest of the staff are always amazing with my kids. They explain everything in detail beforehand to help my kids prepare. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Westfield Pediatric Dental is THE BEST DENTIST office! My kids have been going here for over 15 years and we have always had a great experience. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: My daughter has been going to Westfield Pediatric Dentistry for about 16 years and have never had a bad experience. Doctors and staff are courteous, patient and understanding not just with me and my kids but all of their patients and families. Dr McCabe and Dr Jong have been excellent. Would definitely recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: Always checked in my child making sure that they were comfortable and felt safe.
Fantastic experience: We are incredibly grateful to Dr. McCabe and his team. From the very beginning, he has been knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in the well-being of his patients and their families. Our little boy was just a few days old when we first visited Dr. McCabe. He immediately recommended an excellent lactation consultant and thoroughly explained our baby’s tongue and lip ties and potential treatment options. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding about what our insurance would cover, we initially chose to have the procedure done at a different oral surgeon’s office. We’ve regretted that decision ever since. It’s truly worth it to have a frenectomy done correctly and with care by a trusted provider like Dr. McCabe. Ultimately, we returned to have the procedure redone with Dr. McCabe — and we couldn’t be more thankful that we did. Dr. McCabe and his team were absolutely wonderful with our now 4-month-old, taking their time and even pausing during the procedure to let our little one rest. Dr. McCabe is, without a doubt, the most up-to-date and thoughtful pediatric dentist we’ve encountered.
Fantastic experience: Great experience as always! My kids love it here. They make them feel special and happy to be there and remove any nerves that can pop up. Great waiting room and staff also!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Westfield Pediatric Dental from the moment we walked in, the entire staff made both of my children feel comfortable and cared for. My autistic son often has anxiety about medical visits, but they showed incredible patience, understanding, and compassion. They took the time to explain every step to him in a calm, gentle manner, which truly helped him feel safe and at ease. My neurotypical daughter was also treated with the same kindness and professionalism, making the visit enjoyable for her as well. The office is welcoming, kid-friendly, and very well-organized, which made the experience smooth for our whole family. We couldn't ask for a better place!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Tariq is great!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Tariq and Dental Assistant Martha were absolutely amazing! They were so patient and caring throughout the entire visit. They made my son Christophur feel completely at ease while getting two teeth extracted, a situation that could have been scary, but they handled it with such kindness and professionalism. We appreciate them both!
Fantastic experience: We love Dr. Walk and the staff at Westfield Pediatric Dental! They are so patient and kind with our children (currently 6 and 3 years old) always taking the time to explain what they are doing and why good oral hygiene is important. The office staff has also been helpful with insurance issues and appointment reminders/rescheduling.
Fantastic experience: Our experience with Westfield Pediatrics was excellent. I have a special needs daughter that been with Dr Jong for over 5 years. Dr Jong is a pleasure to work with.
Fantastic experience: We love the ENTIRE TEAM at WPD! From the front desk staff to the hygienist to the dentists!! Dr Jong is theeee BEST.
Fantastic experience: My son chipped one of his front teeth. We were able to make an appointment and receive treatment quickly. Dr. McCabe and Martha were so kind and thorough in explaining the process. They used the dental pain eraser and my son was comfortable for the entire process. Dr. McCabe did I such a wonderful job, that If I didn’t know, I would think it was his actual tooth! So appreciative of their work!
Fantastic experience: Dr Walk is the best!! She’s super nice and great with kids. My 4 yo loved her
Fantastic experience: I love this dentist, she is very professional, she treat my daughter very kindly. The place is very clean.
Positive experience: Very busy place but all the staff friendly and conscientious. Dr McCabe is very personable and great chair side manner. No cavities so a great visit
Fantastic experience: We took our 3 year old daughter there for the first time and were blown away by who nice, thoughtful and caring all the staff were. Such a good experience
Fantastic experience: The whole staff is fantastic. Very friendly, helpful and the doctors are amazing. The office is always clean
Fantastic experience: We have been seeing Dr. McCabe with our 3 kids for 23 years and he is THE BEST! I wish I could give a 10 star rating! He is always professional, patient, and gentle. The entire office staff is amazing and I highly recommend them to everyone! They make going to the dentist fun!
Fantastic experience: Love WPDG - wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: We were really pleased with our experience from the first phone call (with Nicole) to our appointment with Dr. McCabe. My daughter had been having some tooth pain and when I called to consult, Nicole listened carefully and then looked at prior X-rays to determine possible causes and how we should address it. In the appointment with Dr. McCabe, he also took his time to ask questions and thoroughly examine. He was able to discern the specific cause and how to appropriately treat. We felt very well taken care of!
Fantastic experience: Dr. McCabe and Martha do a great job explaining the treatment plan before they get started. The new technology used made filling my daughter’s cavities pain free with no shots! It was great that she wasn’t numb walking out of the office. This trip to the dentist was stress free!
Fantastic experience: Dr Walk and her team are fantastic. She’s been my son’s dentist for years and I recommend Dr Walk and the practice often.
Fantastic experience: I can't thank you enough!!! Thank you for being so patient caring and supportive!!! Thank you to Dr. McCabe and the rest of the staff!
Fantastic experience: Took both my toddlers here again for the second time and the staff and doctors are always so patient and helpful. They tailor their approach depending on the age of the child and it makes going to the dentist a much more pleasurable experience!
Fantastic experience: I love this practice. Every dentist my kids have seen has been wonderful and the staff is always friendly. Today, Dr. McCabe took out one of my son’s baby teeth and answered many general questions I had about interesting topics in dentistry!
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience. Eveyone was so friendly.
Fantastic experience: We have been taking our son to Westfield Pediatric Dental group, for years. Dr. McCabe and his staff are excellent! They now offer the Dental Pain Eraser, which eliminates the shot when filling cavities. My son had a very positive experience, no pain! We were in and out the door in less than 30mins! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing first visit for Haven! They were so kind and fun and made her feel so comfortable and showered her with gifts. Just a few tears toward the end but she did great! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Our son had a great experience at Westfield Pediatric Dental! Our son is Autistic and non-verbal. Ms Martha, and her team, were extremely patient and kind. The dentist was very understanding and patient with our son. They have knowledge of how to redirect behaviors and will work with special needs children and the parents. Will definitely be returning and recommending to all our friends.
Fantastic experience: The staff and doctors are wonderful and the quality of care is top notch. My kids look forward to their visit.
Fantastic experience: Staff couldn't be nicer and very efficient. . Great with special needs patients. Dr. McCabe could not be more patient and thorough. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Such a great experience for my daughter and myself! From the moment went walked into to the moment we left!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome. Very kid friendly and made my daughter feel very comfortable
Fantastic experience: Really great experience. The staff is all fantastic, welcoming and kind to the kids!
Fantastic experience: We have been coming to this family dental practice for almost 16 years. Dr. Jong is incredibly experienced, wise, and understanding in her approach. My kids love coming here to see their dentist. The entire office staff is friendly and capable.
Fantastic experience: The best pediatric dentist in NJ! My girls have been going here since they were very little. Super kind staff and the doctors are all amazing with our little ones. Super clean and friendly environment.
Fantastic experience: Loved the way they approached my daughter.
Fantastic experience: Have been going to this Dental Group for nearly 4 years and it’s always a pleasant and enjoyable experience. All of the staff is welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend! Top Tier care for your kiddos.
Fantastic experience: Westfield Pediatric Dental was INCREDIBLE! They spared no expense ensuring the children feel as comfortable as possible when having exams done, whether cleanings or a first time visit. TVs on the ceiling, an open floor plan of dental chairs to put kids at ease and total transparency. I mean, it was my 3 year old's first visit and you'd swear he'd been there before given his comfort level. The energy of the dental assistant with my 5 year old for his X-rays was perfection. Dr. Walk was so warm and amazing with my kids. So happy we chose Westfield Pediatric Dental for my boys!
Fantastic experience: My coworker recommended this place to me and it’s everything I have been looking for since my move to New Jersey from CT in 2020. The Staff are all friendly, they greet you with smiles, they are efficient, did not wait long at all, I was in and out in about 45 min with 3 children. They were thorough as well. The place is clean, kid friendly, and my kids were able to sit side by side and get their exams done as they watched the tv’s in the ceiling ! (A must for me) they were all smiles leaving this place. Lastly, they said “mom, they gave us mechanical toothbrushes!” Lol We will be with Dr. McCabe until they outgrow this place !
Fantastic experience: Dr. Walk is the best. My son has been going to her since he was 3 and he’s 11. We moved to Virginia 3 years ago and we drive up every 6 months for a check up with Dr. Walk, it is worth the drive!! When we get there it’s like going to see family you haven’t seen in a while and catch up. My son loves going to the dentist, that says everything!!
Fantastic experience: My daughter's always get great care at Westfield Pediatric Dental. Everyone is so kind and patient.
Fantastic experience: We have been going to Westfield Pediatric Dental for 15 years now and have always been very, very happy! Dr. Walk is wonderful! She has a kind, gentle manner that immediately puts children at ease. I would highly recommended her and this practice in general ... excellent!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience!! Very friendly/professional doctors and staff. They were so great with my daughter, and they even gave my son a little present, even though he didn’t have an appointment today. Love it here!
Fantastic experience: So thankful to have found this amazing practice. Everyone was so informative and extremely helpful. Such a huge difference when you’re dealing with people who love what they do!
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff ! Kids love going to the dentist
Fantastic experience: The staff is so caring. You are in and out quickly with attention during the visit. All doctors are great with my kids.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love every person who works here. They are all so kind, thoughtful and never make you feel bad if your kid has a cavity. They are creating a generation of kids who do not have ptsd when having to go to the dentist.
Fantastic experience: Everyone is always so helpful, courteous, and my kids look forward to their appointments. We love Dr. Walk!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! My 3yo son was very scared and nervous about being at the dentist. The team was incredible with being patient, kind and understanding with him. By the end of the appt, he was comfortable and more relaxed. A very kid friendly office with toys in the waiting area, tvs on the ceilings, fish tanks and colorful wall decor. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: This office was referred to me by a friend’s family member. My youngest has ASD and needs speciality care. The hospitality of these office is top tier. Although a dental procedure can be dramatic for children no matter the developmental stage, my husband and I never felt uncomfortable with how our child was being cared for. I am so grateful to have found this office. We are patients of Dr. McCabe and he is excellent! I am certain all the doctors in this practice are just as excellent. The staff definitely follows pursuit, they are kind, knowledgeable and create a welcoming atmosphere. Job well done Westfield Pediatric Dental Group
Fantastic experience: The staff is always amazing and helpful
Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Jong. She is straight forward without passing judgement or acting condescending toward the parents. She addresses the kids who need the addressing because kids don’t always listen and believe their parents. They think we are overreacting or nagging them. There will come a time when your adolescents will not let you supervise them brushing their teeth. She educates the kids without criticizing. Too bad the office is not in network with BCBS dental, and my husband is retiring so we don’t have Delta Dental anymore. Otherwise, my kids and I would love to stick with Dr. Jong.
Fantastic experience: So wonderful and patient also with kids who are afraid!
Fantastic experience: From cleanings to emergencies, the staff are fantastic. Friendly, information, really puts shy kids at ease. Went through two others and not one compares to the quality, cleanliness, patience & informative responses to all my questions without rushing or making me feel anything but confident and educated in the decisions made about children’s well being and care. So grateful for everyone from the front staff to the dental assistants (esp Jackie) and Dr McCabe.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Jong is FANTASTIC. She has been working with my family for over two years. We have two children 3 and 5 who truly enjoy visiting the dentist because of the wonderful team at Westfield Pediatric Dental. Dr. Jong and Jackie are so friendly and make the kids feel comfortable and safe. The front office is quick, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for what you do. I can’t recommend them enough and I do recommend them often!
Fantastic experience: Great services! My daughter was born with tongue tie and causes me huge pain during breast feeding. She also keeps having feeding breaks and suck in extra gas affecting sleeping. The procedure was quick and easy and had immediate results. Easy to feed and no more blisters for me.
Fantastic experience: My daughter had a great experience!
Fantastic experience: We can't thank Dr. McCabe and Ms. Martha enough for being so patient and accommodating with my son. My son is autistic and these two have been working with us since he was 2-years old. They give him time to explorer the room and get acquainted with the chair every time. They are never forceful and genuinely understanding. When the time comes for cleaning and examination, we all work as a team and they are gentle, quick and efficient. Dr. McCabe also invited us to come in between routine visits to tour the facility and rooms, just so my son can become more comfortable with the environment rather than coming in every 6 months. The staff in the front desk are great also. They are the "control tower" of the facility balancing calls, in-office guests, etc.. and they all do it with a genuine smile. Thank you all again!..But give Ms. Martha and Dr. McCabe a raise!!! The special needs community are so blessed knowing we have these two to turn to !
Fantastic experience: Staff are super friendly and the dentists are all very knowledgeable and caring!
Fantastic experience: Always kind and always understanding!!! Luv this whole team!!! We still drive an hour back to them since we moved away
Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Appointment was right on time.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for going out of your way and contacting me when there was a cancelation so I could bring my daughter in on her day off from school. And everything always runs so smoothly. The hygienist always does a great job on her teeth. Thank you, we appreciate everything.
Fantastic experience: Super professional very very very very very good. Kids calmed my son down and explains what was going on
Fantastic experience: Amazing!!! I wish I heard about this office before.
