Iowa Pediatric Dental Center - Cedar Rapids

Fantastic experience: Dr. Hamilton is incredible! My son loves him. This center is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Always a great experience!!! My kids love their dentist… all staff are friendly and caring, the kids get a goodie bag each visit and a coin to pick a prize. They even have a play area with a slide :)

Fantastic experience: Dr Shawn is always respectful to everyone and explains what he's doing. The office staff and other employees are very nice and caring.

Fantastic experience: Paige is a wonderful helper good with my kid

Fantastic experience: We always have great service, kind staff, and a loving atmosphere every time we go! Dr. Sean and his staff are exceptional! Thank you for all you do!

Fantastic experience: Amazing, patient, and kind! It was exactly what I would expect from a pediatric dental office and it was awesome!

Negative experience: Because genuinely why would you cancel someone’s appointment they’ve had booked for over a month, and not call or email them to let them know you chose to cancel it the DAY BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT? Glad you could call my mother to let her know but not the actual person going to the dentist!

Fantastic experience: We had such a wonderful experience again today. Ashley made my kid feel completely comfortable from the moment we walked in. She was patient, gentle, and explained everything in a way my child could understand. Highly recommend

Negative experience: i don’t know how good this place is (i wish i could rate it 0 stars). if you are thinking about taking your child(ren) to this place, be aware that they lie and ignore patients concerns and questions. don’t waste your time and money on it where the staff doesn’t respect their patients. highly disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Friendliest group of people ever!! Very professional and patient. Technician, Ashley couldn’t have been more sweet. Thank you so much for giving such great care to my grandson

Fantastic experience: New dentist for Addie, 10 years old. Very welcoming and friendly as we walked in the door. Addie felt comfortable right away with the tech that came to get her, and liked the dentist. They explained what was done and what was needed in the future. Having a child that looks forward to going to the dentist is awesome.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love coming here. Everyone is very knowledgeable very friendly from the front desk, to the dental hygienist to the Dentist himself, they all do an amazing job very informative always taking time to answer questions. My son did not like going to the Dentist and they have made the experience 1000 times better I cannot recommend them enough!!! If you’re looking for a kind carrying office, that will take their time with your child answering questions and going over a different things you need to come here.

Negative experience: Had a cavity filling recently, they gave me the numbing shot and completely MISSED where I was getting my cavity filled. This means that the area wasn’t numb the entire time. After the worst pain I ever have been through as they drilled into my tooth, I raised my hand (since that is what they ask you to do when something is bugging you) and the dentist proceeded to say “Thanks for letting me know” and CONTINUED the procedure without applying more numbing!!! This was a traumatic and extremely painful experience. I will never forget the pain of those drills.

Fantastic experience: Very quick and professional. recommended

Fantastic experience: She did an amazing job. I didn’t get her name but wow, so patient and very good with kids.

Fantastic experience: Super quick and easy to get both my girls in for appt! The assistants did great with my apprehensive 4yo and she was super excited when we left to find out how fun it was to go to the dentist! They both now love going to see the dentist!

Fantastic experience: My 2 year old son had a really rough first experience at the dentist. After switching to Iowa pediatric dental center my son has been EXCITED to go to the dentist! Paige is INCREDIBLE, she had so much patience helped him feel so comfortable. I highly recommend this office for your littles

Fantastic experience: Lama and Elyssa were great! The kids look forward to coming

Fantastic experience: I was in a panic over some insurance issues but Heather made it a super easy fix and was so pleasant! Wonderful experience!!!

Fantastic experience: First visit today and had a great first experience! Ashley our hygienist was very thorough at explaining the process and making everyone feel welcome. She even gave my daughter a toothbrush bag even though she wasnt being seen. Definitely will be coming back and bringing my other children to be seen here.

Fantastic experience: Always a great experience here. The hygienists make the kids feel extremely comfortable, and they always explain what they are doing very well for the kids. Ashley was great with my grandson at today’s visit! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Ashley and Kelly both were efficient and friendly. We’ve never had a bad experience at the Pediatric Dental center. I can take both kids and we are in and out usually within 30 minutes.

Fantastic experience: My son came in to get a filling for the first time and the staff did a really great job at making him feel comfortable. His nurse Lama treated him very well.

Fantastic experience: Nice, friendly staff. Ashley helped my son feel normal and safe during his dental procedure!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and inviting! Love this location!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff! Great entertainment for nervous waiting children. Lots of smiles. Truly caring and you feel it. Easy to work with

Fantastic experience: My daughter is 5 years old and it was her first time. She did so well there and they were all very gentle with her. I asked my daughter how was her experience there. She said I had fun. It’s a very relaxing to hear this. Love the children’s atmosphere also

Fantastic experience: The staff are kind and patient. Easy scheduling. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so great! Lama specifically did an incredible job with my son. She was kind, caring, and explained everything she was doing so he wasn’t nervous at all. 5/5 recommend!

Fantastic experience: Always a super easy visit. The doctors make sure my kiddo is well taken care of, and the dental hygienist (Paige) is great with the kids.

Fantastic experience: Our experience was great! It was my child’s first time at the dentist, and the team went slow and explained everything in a way that made us feel comfortable. Lama cleaned our son’s teeth and was wonderful—gentle, patient, and great with our son. Such a positive first dental visit, and we’re so grateful for the care we received!

Fantastic experience: Lama was very nice and professional is a very awesome dentist

Fantastic experience: Lama was SUPER helpful and so patient, we always come here for our daughters dental needs

Fantastic experience: Iowa pediatrics do a great job with our kids. Lama and Kelly were great with the kids. My first choice for kids dental care in Iowa.

Fantastic experience: My children had their first visit here yesterday (my daughter’s first dentist visit ever), and they were so nice and friendly. My daughter was very upset, because she didn’t know what to expect with it being her first visit, and even with her screaming the whole staff was so nice and calm with her…it didn’t calm her down but it was nice that they just worked at her level and did what they could to comfort her and get through the appointment. My son usually has some anxiety at the dentist, but he even went back alone without being upset to get a tooth pulled that was crowding his grown up teeth coming in. And even after getting a tooth pulled that he wasn’t expecting to have happen, he told me he really likes this new dentist and he’s happy we came here. The tokens for the machines for prizes definitely helped also So thank you to everyone…from the front desk staff, to the hygienists, to the dentist…we are so glad we found our new dentist office!

Fantastic experience: They are so good with kiddos!

Fantastic experience: They’re really good with autism kids and they treat us like family

Fantastic experience: Been bring all three of my lids here for a couple years now and absolutely love this dentistry! The dental tech Lama is super sweet, really all the staff are amazing! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best pediatric dental care provider in Cedar Rapids. After bad experiences with other providers we have finally found the best care at Iowa Pediatric Dental Center. My daughter is a difficult patient due to massive anxiety but they treat her with respect and comfort. Shout to the best dental hygienist in the world, Paige!

Fantastic experience: Brought 3 of my boys in who were nervous about the dentist and they had a blast. This place makes the kids feel like the dentist is fun. They left with lots of goodies and can’t wait to come back

Fantastic experience: Lama is amazing everything went smooth and fast

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, super kind. My kids love coming here!

Fantastic experience: Been taking my kids here for the past few years eventhough I live in Coralville and their sister clinic is closer. In my opinion it’s worth the drive to Cedar Rapids for the exceptional care they give my kids. Especially considering that my little one had to have some dental procedures done here and they handled them very well. Shes not traumatized or anything lol Thank you to the staff. The only thing I would say is that I usually get the answering machine when calling to make appointments . However I understand they’re always busy !

Fantastic experience: My son has been coming here for years, and we absolutely love all of the staff! Most kids do not love coming to the dentist, but the staff here are all so kind, patient and understanding, and that helps a lot! I’ll forever recommend them for any family who needs a dentist!

Fantastic experience: Always a great experience. I have taken my two sons (11 and 7yrs now) there since day 1 and have had no issues. Great staff!

Fantastic experience: Val & Ashley were amazing! They made my daughter feel comfortable and definitely passed her vibe check!

Fantastic experience: Ashley always remembers the kids. I love how nice everyone is!

Fantastic experience: Very appreciative for our services here. Great atmosphere and friendly people. Ashley was very helpful and informative. I highly recommend you check them out. It was our first time here and we will be back. 1000 starts

Fantastic experience: Heather set up my appointments and she looked up all our insurance info for us before we arrived! Ashley was our nurse and she was so patient with my toddler. I am excited to bring my older kiddo here in a couple weeks!!

Fantastic experience: Very polite and friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! Lama did really good with my daughter, kept her entertained, kept me informed with everything that was going on, and very patient with her. They have so many fun things for the kids to help them stay calm and happy.

Fantastic experience: Lama was very resourceful! Very kind and respectful to my son. Explained everything that she was doing to ensure a safe and fun experience!

Fantastic experience: Lana did great assisting my son

Fantastic experience: Coming to Iowa pediatric dental was the best decision! It’s so clean, the staff is wonderful! Especially Lama she was very good with my son!

Fantastic experience: We love all the staff here! Lana helped us with our recent appointment! We got in super easy and quick. The communication with the kids is amazing too! They make sure the kids feel confident and comfortable with every step they do :)

Positive experience: The dental assistants were very friendly. The front desk girl was rude and not helpful. The dental assistant advised me to ask the girl at the front desk for the list of orthodontist so I could call and get our referral appointment made. When I asked the girl at the front desk, she laughed in my face and told me good luck and to call around and see which ones took my insurance. She was more worried about ordering and eating her lunch than to do her job.

Fantastic experience: Ashley was detailed with my child I recommend

Fantastic experience: Ashley was amazing with my daughter. She was extremely patient & explained everything to my daughter as it was happening. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: My daughter had her first dentist visit here today, I never write reviews..this place was so kid friendly, everyone was welcoming and friendly. Very patient with my daughter as it was her first visit!

Fantastic experience: I’ve always have a good experience here at Iowa pediatric dental center. I love how they make my kids feel comfortable. But also, I was very nervous for my 3 year old daughter to get fills. But Ashley made sure she was safe and secured and I love that. I will highly recommend her and her team ❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Lama was amazing with our daughter and service is always quick. I love how kid friendly they are and how much children enjoy coming to the dentist here!

Fantastic experience: Paige and the whole crew were absolutely amazing! From my youngest to my oldest they took care of them exactly how they needed to and ensured they were comfortable and I was informed. They earned my trust and my business 100%

Fantastic experience: I love the practice, my youngest son usually gives me a hard time when going for cleaning but the dental assistant Lama kept talking to him and made him feel better she gave us such a great service . Now he likes going to his appointments and take all my four kids there at the same time

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience at Iowa Pediatric Dental Clinic. The clinic was very clean and well-organized, and the entire staff was kind and welcoming. I would especially like to thank Lama, the dental nurse, for her patience and gentle care with my children. She was very good at communicating with them and reassuring them, which helped make the visit calm and stress-free. Truly a wonderful experience!

Fantastic experience: Great with kids! Ashley helped us and was awesome! The Dentist was very kid friendly and informative!

Fantastic experience: My son used to be very afraid of dentists, but today he was very comfortable at the clinic. Lama explained everything to him so he could feel relaxed and not nervous.

Negative experience: As a mom of a 19 month old who has never had their child taken to the dentist, I was highly unimpressed and disappointed with our experience. We were sat in the middle of a room that seemed like an assembly line. We were taken back before the dentist was ready and had to sit and wait. Everyone had to listen to my son cry while waiting. Waiting for a 19 month old is incredibly hard. Due to his age, we should have been left in the waiting room where he isn’t expected to sit on mom’s lap for over ten minutes and there are things for him to do. There was then apparently drama among the dental assistants because as soon as the only dentist walked into the assembly line, one of them said “my two patients need to be seen first even though others disagree”. So my son waited longer. At 19 months, and a 1 minute exam, that’s insane and poor customer service. It resulted in everyone continuing to listen to him cry. The dentist then didn’t even introduce himself or explain anything he was doing. As the first time going to the dentist for my son, it was an awful experience. It’s really unfortunate because this should have been a great experience for him, but now this will forever be his first time at the dentist.

Fantastic experience: Ashley does a great job With the kids and they can be a handful

Fantastic experience: Lama our dental hygienist was truly amazing. She was great with my children, and she made them feel so welcome and comfortable!

Fantastic experience: Best pediatric dentist by far! The staff are amazing, and our hygienist Ashley was so patient and kind to my daughter. Every experience I’ve had here has been a great one!

Fantastic experience: Ashley & Kamryn were great. Very welcoming and professional!

Fantastic experience: Ashley was great! We love it here.

Fantastic experience: Paige was awesome my daughter enjoys coming to get her teeth cleaned.

Fantastic experience: I have an autistic son and I came in there very nervous and they took all my concerns into consideration and made accommodations to make him and me feel comfortable. They went above and beyond I was so thankful. Thanks Ashley and Dr Sean

Fantastic experience: Today was my daughter's 1st dentist appointment, they knew exactly what to do to keep her calm. Extremely gentle and answered whatever they could and gave me helpful tips to help in the future.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding hygienist and Doctor, very calm and caring for my grandson. Wonderful experience for him and me. Thank you very much.

Fantastic experience: They are absolutely amazing especially when my kiddos have a hard time being numbed up to have teeth pulled they were able to accommodate.

Fantastic experience: Something went wrong when I scheduled online but the front office was highly accommodating and got my son in anyway. Everyone was very kind and calm. My son’s 1st ever dentist appointment went smoothly thanks to the assistant Lami. The Dr had a good vibe about him as well. They let my son sit in my lap the whole time while they cleaned his teeth.

Fantastic experience: We always have a great experience here. The hygienists make the kids feel extremely comfortable, and they always explain things very well for them. The kids always end up leaving with a smile! Dr. Hamilton is also great with the kids and answers any questions I have. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My kid has been a patient here for a few years. Staff are awesome and they're good at what they do. I recommend.

Fantastic experience: I love these lady's that work here!! The dentists I have worked with my girls who are terribly scared of needles and they made it the best experience and not scary!! Thank you to all the staff!!

Fantastic experience: The staff is always so great with my daughter, patient and quick. There's a reason we have stayed patients for 7 years!

Fantastic experience: Process was very easy to set up and during the first appointment everyone was amazing, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great office! Everyone there was wonderful with my 2 year old!

Fantastic experience: Great first experience here for all three of my kids ages 4-8. Also saw how they took care of two other kiddos who were first timers 1yr-18 months. They explained everything to my 4 yr old and let him try the tools before doing exam/cleaning. Dr. Was very thorough and made sure my questions were answered before moving on. All three kids were in and out in less than an hr. Very efficient.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great environment for kids. My child gets anxious but it quickly subsides once he goes back and knows he gets to pick out a fun toy.

Fantastic experience: My daughter had her first visit today and the girls were so sweet to her!! :) Staff was wonderful! I will be back next week with my oldest.

Fantastic experience: they always are so patient with all our kids - especially our oldest with autism

Fantastic experience: Was my daughter’s first time in yesterday and she absolutely loved it and wants to go back. I was afraid she was going to be scared but they did an amazing job and you can tell they really love and adore children. Would recommend to anybody.

Fantastic experience: My sons have been going here for years and they love it. My daughter had her first visit today and the girls were so sweet to her!! :) they have a play area near the waiting room, and the kiddos get a prize at the end which is so fun. They always listen to my concerns, take them seriously and do their best to make sure my kids are healthy. I LOVE this Dentist office and all of the staff. 10/10!

Fantastic experience: This dental team really helped us to feel comfortable. My daughter had cavities and needed a dental procedure under anesthesia to resolve the issues. We called it her "Magic appointment"! Our dental team worked with the University of Iowa to make this procedure happen. We are satisfied with the level of communication, care, and sensitivity they showed us. We have been a little traumatized from previous medical system care with the lack of communication and level of controlled handling. This experience was healing for my daughter's teeth and for my own medical trauma from after birth. So grateful for her sparkly white, HEALTHY teeth Seriously, thank you ✌

Fantastic experience: First time taking my son here and the ladies at the front greeted us with smiles and the wait time was not long at all. The facility was super clean and the Doctor was very kind and gave my son tips on how to brush correctly. Will definitely continue coming here and recommend 100% thank you to the staff for a wonderful experience!!!!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is super friendly and nice. They are all great with kids. I wouldn't take my kids anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: My almost 5 year old was so scared for the dentist appointment and was telling me how nervous he was, within a few minutes sitting in the chair he was giggling and loving it! They were great and we will be back for all future dental needs.

Fantastic experience: 5 Stars – Outstanding Pediatric Dental Experience! We had an exceptional visit at Iowa Pediatric Dental Center in Cedar Rapids! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and made my children feel at ease. The environment is cheerful and clearly designed with kids in mind, which helped alleviate any dental anxieties. The dentist was patient, gentle, and took the time to explain procedures in a kid-friendly manner. My kids left with big smiles and are actually looking forward to their next visit! Highly recommend this place to any parent seeking quality dental care for their children.

Fantastic experience: My Son Has Been Going Here For 2.5 Years And We’ve Had Nothing But A Great Experience Here. Everyone Is So Calm With The Kids And Very Nice. My Son Loves The Staff Here!

Fantastic experience: After a fall ice skating, my 9-year-old son broke his two front teeth. Within 40 minutes of the accident, this office had my child in a chair and being worked on by Dr. McGivern and his terrific team. They knew he was scared and took the time to make him comfortable and explain everything as they went. And amazingly, somehow saved his teeth. We are so impressed with the entire office. From the lovely gal who took our original call and was able to calm me down and create an emergent appointment to have us seen, to the dental hygienists who stayed late to ensure his procedure was safely completed, and of course to the amazing Dr. McGivern who somehow created this beautiful before and after within an hour. Highly recommend for pediatric care, big or small. Hope to not need emergency services again but if we do we know we’re in good hands!

Fantastic experience: Thank you for being attentive to my daughter and making sure that she was taken care of We had a dental emergency and the clinic was able to see her within a few hours and take care of her and in a timely manner I appreciate all the love and care that you showed her you are all awesome and we're so grateful for you!!!!

Fantastic experience: I want to say thanks - I watched the nurses do such an amazing job of winning trust and calming the children down, my own 4 year old included. That’s quite a skill and they do it well! The anesthesiologist, Dr Stone is also top notch.

Fantastic experience: Paige at the front desk really went above and beyond for my kiddo. She helped find a kid friendly place for my daughter to go to for a root canal by calling around until she found somewhere that would take our insurance and this place did gret with my kid. Paige is awesome and probably deserves a raise! My daughter had a bad tooth accident last year and Iowa pediatric dental center has been awesome in helping to guide us through everything! We appreciate you soo much! Everyone is very nice when we go here which has been many times last year! Hopefully we won't have to see you as much this year!
