Pediatric Dentistry of Port Charlotte

Experiencia fantástica: Nothing but wonderful things to say about Pediatric Dentistry of Port Charlotte and their enthusiastic staff, detailed hygienists and well communicated dentist. My son typically hates going to the dentist and since coming here I have not heard a complaint!!

Experiencia fantástica: We had a wonderful experience at our visit. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional, and the staff took the time to listen to our concerns and explain everything clearly. The visit felt comfortable and stress free, and we never felt rushed. We truly appreciated the compassionate care and attention given to our child. Highly recommend this office!

Experiencia fantástica: We love this dentist office - it has exceeded all of our expectations both for general cleanings and for caring for cavities. I am especially impressed by (and deeply grateful for) Dr. Taylor and her two therapy dogs she has trained to sit with patients as they have dental work done. My 7 year old daughter sat through two different dental appointments for cavities and was greatly calmed by Ellie (the dog) laying next to her. She actually looked forward to her second appointment because of the dog. Dr. Taylor and hygienist Casey are a fantastic team. They work so efficiently and keep appointments short for dental procedures. We also love Dr. Argumosa. He is so patient and understanding with both children and parents. He made some hard appointments much easier with his kindness. We always leave having been very well cared for. I have only good things to say about this office and the staff.

Experiencia fantástica: We absolutely love this dental office! My youngest daughter had her first dental appointment yesterday, and everyone was so kind and welcoming. My older daughter has been coming here for 6 years, and we’ve always had such a great experience. We’re so happy to have a place we trust with both of our girls! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was kind and informative it was our first visit and it went great. Will continue to come back.

Experiencia fantástica: This office is fantastic! Immaculately clean, all staff is very friendly and accommodating. The doctor is pleasant, compassionate; and willing to answer any questions. He explained everything about the care being provided in detail. Dental hygienist Z is an absolute SUPER STAR! She is bright, has an infectious bubbly spirit/attitude; and a very comforting aura. Z had no problems making my 7 year old feel comfortable, reassured; and supported throughout the entire visit. She is for sure an asset to the Pediatric Dentistry family. Keep up the great work! 10/10 PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY OF PORT CHARLOTTE ROCKS!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice staff, friendly environment, made my daughter feel very comfortable

Experiencia fantástica: A great first dentist appointment for two kiddos. We were greeted with smiles and engaging ways to demonstrate how they care for their teeth. A very clean facility and staff who went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. I was super focused on finishing paperwork..ugg..but staff was very friendly and made my daughter feel very comfortable and welcomed. They were the fastest dentist I've ever experienced. It was cool to have the kids brush their own teeth first to see how they do it. I'll be back for my second daughter soon.

Experiencia fantástica: We always have a great experience! The entire staff is great with my special needs kiddo.We were sad to learn our favorite hygienist is no longer there but we met Mrs Z and she is awesome just like Ms Joy!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Pediatric Dentistry or Port Charlotte was kind and professional. My son loved their animal theme throughout and enjoyed watching the video as they cleaned his teeth. Thank you so much!

Experiencia fantástica: We love this dentist!! They are truly the best! Everyone there is so friendly and always smiling. They also have service dogs to help the kiddos when they are scared. Best in town. My son love going here and my daughter will starting soon..

Experiencia fantástica: Pediatric Dentistry of PC always has such friendly and helpful staff from the front desk to the hygienists, assistants and dentist! They were able to get both my kids in last minute for a dental issue. We never have a problem getting a hold of the office or getting an appointment. Highly recommend them and appreciate all of their hard work and professionalism!

Experiencia fantástica: Updated review! 4-24-25 Still love coming here..my teen son feels so comfortable and my toddler actually can’t wait to come back, THATS A HUGE WIN!!! I have been taking my teen son here for the past five years and this was the first time I took my toddler. The experience was absolutely amazing for his first time.. he absolutely loved watching the overhead TVs, and our technician is always so gentle and personable.

Experiencia negativa: My child had an appointment today for a dental exam. I was told the exam and cleaning had to be performed together, including a separate $56 fluoride charge. When I asked why distinct services—performed by different staff, priced separately, and commonly billed under different codes—could not be separated, I was told, “That’s just how we do it.” A parent asking why pediatric dental services must be bundled deserves a real answer. “That’s just how we do it” is lazy, evasive, and infantilizing--equivalent to a power-obsessed bureaucrat blurting, "cause I felt like it." It is especially offensive in a medical-adjacent setting where trust, consent, pricing, and professional explanation matter. When I pointed out that this was merely office policy, not an explanation, I was told the bundling was for customer convenience. It was not convenient for me. When I again asked for the reason, the answer returned to the same refrain. I also had concerns about pricing. The clinic appears to participate in a dental discount plan, yet the pricing I received did not seem to reflect the published savings. I left with the impression of an opaque, patient-unfriendly pricing structure. Parents should not need a cross-examination to understand what is required, optional, bundled, or separately chargeable. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this clinic.

Experiencia fantástica: So blessed to have found this dentistry for our kiddo! Every single receptionist, nurse, & doctor went way above & beyond any expectation we had! Everyone is so kind & caring & helpful (to state the least!) I feel like I will never be able to say thank you enough to all of y'all! We are looking forward to seeing all of yous' again! ✨️

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely one of the best experiences for and child to go to the dentist, the staff were great to work with , very helpful and a good can do positive attitudes!! My daughter loved the great happy animal atmosphere it didnt feel like a hospital!!!@ thank you staff for warm welcome

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great dentist office they work really well with kids. Nice lobby

Experiencia fantástica: Staff are very kind and gentle. Makes taking the kids to the dentist much easier.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly staff, good atmosphere. My nephew loved the cheetah with the toothbrush

Experiencia negativa: Teeth cleaning are a joke here and gives you a dental quote for procedures that are not necessary. They said my son (8 years old) needed all type of dental work (over $5,000). I should have taken him and had a second opinion by a non pediatric dentistry office before I scheduled his dental work. I did half of the stuff then decided to take him to our family dental office to get a second option on the additional stuff they wanted to do. Our family dentist said what they wanted to do was absolutely crazy why would you crown a baby teeth that are about to come out. I would recommend a filling or pull them since they are coming out. (We already had two of the teeth crowned at the pediatric office) those crowned teeth fell out less than 3 months later. On top of that I guess our insurance did not cover $161.20 of the bill they billed to my dental insurance. I travel a lot for work and didn't see the bill come in and they sent it to collection and added additional $100 on top of the balance. Talk about being crooked. Proceed with caution ⚠️

Experiencia fantástica: We had an excellent experience, the hygienist was very friendly, caring and informative. The staff in the front office was also friendly and it’s so nice to walk in and feel welcomed. You guys are doing amazing. I truly enjoyed our visit today.

Experiencia fantástica: You won't find a more caring, kind and genuinely loving pediatric dentist office in the area. The best staff all around! Truly a pleasure and blessing to take my kids for dental care here. We especially loved our hygienist Miss Joy! My boys just aged out and we will truly miss going there.

Experiencia fantástica: We absolutely love this pediatric dentist office! The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and wonderful with my three-year-old daughter. They make every visit fun, comfortable, and stress-free for both of us. The office is always clean, welcoming, and perfectly kid-friendly. My daughter leaves smiling every time and actually looks forward to going back. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for exceptional pediatric dental care!

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great day experience over all. Everyone was so nice and understanding. My little guy is on the spectrum and non verbal .Going to the dentist isn't usually an easy task. But everyone there made our appointment enjoyable and made us feel welcome. So glad we found this dentist office.

Experiencia fantástica: My kids love it here! The hygienists are always so nice and friendly! I love that they have tvs at each seat so the kids and watch a movie while they get their teeth cleaned or worked on. Really helps the kids relax and not be so anxious or scared.

Experiencia fantástica: Joy is so wonderful she makes us feel very comfortable. My kids both enjoy coming here.

Experiencia fantástica: Finding a pediatric dentist who truly understands children, especially ones who are a little nervous—is not easy, and I’m so grateful we found this office. My son is not the easiest to get into the chair and gets anxious about the noises and all the unfamiliar tools, but the entire team here is incredibly patient and kind. They take the time to walk him through everything they’re doing, which has made such a difference in helping him feel more comfortable and safe. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and go above and beyond to create a positive experience. I’m truly thankful for this office and their amazing staff. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a compassionate and understanding pediatric dental team!

Experiencia fantástica: Very satisfied with the assistance and the support of the front desk staff, the dental hygienist and dentist, Dr. Taylor. We always feel welcomed and love how treatment plans are thoroughly explained by everyone involved. Glad we are able to bring our children to this lovely dentist office.

Experiencia fantástica: My son goes here and we absolutely love the experience. One time he knocked his front tooth out, and we had to rush here and they stayed open after hours just to take care of him and they saved his tooth. His adult front tooth had come out and they were able to get it back in and save it but the fact that they stayed open after hours to help us was just amazing .

Experiencia fantástica: I love this destristry and the whole team. They are great with all of my kids, 13, 12, and 4 years old. They make them all feel very comfortable and fear free. Many services that they

Experiencia fantástica: The best pediatric dentist in the area! The entire staff is friendly, the office is welcoming, and they make dental health fun for the kids. If you’re looking for a stress-free dentist visit for your little ones, this is the place to go!

Experiencia fantástica: We recently moved to Florida and previously had a negative experience with pediatric dentists. The moment we walked in to this clinic we felt that this is the one. Everyone and I mean everyone is friendly, nice, professional, and kind. The way my child was treated was amazing. Definitely recommended this place. May God Bless this place and all who works there.

Experiencia negativa: Scam. My son needed some work. A cavity/ filling space with sedation. The amount due after insurance was close to 400. 397 and change. I paid it in full. I coparent. So my son's father went in and made a payment of 200. The difference was supposed to be refunded. After some time I called and asked about the refund. Figuring it would be a credit. They told me a check was mailed. I never received a check. I was told they would look into it and get back to me. During the next cleaning appointment I asked again. And they said they hadn't heard anything about it but told me the check was only for 50 dollars. I asked how? And where did the rest of the money go? They said they would look into it. I still haven't heard anything its been over a year. Im not sure if it's some kind of billing fraud or what. They arent BBB accredited which makes sense. I will be filing an complaint elsewhere too. I wanted so bad for my son to stay here at this office. I will not tolerate theft like this. I never received anything stating there was a change in coverage for services rendered. That the balance was changed. What a shame.

Experiencia fantástica: I really love the staff and atmosphere . They make you and your child comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is wonderful and so nice. My daughter is on the spectrum, so she has difficulty with new environments, and they really helped calm her down and offered her toys to keep her occupied so her teeth could be cleaned. I will always recommend this office.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are wonderful. They take really good care of my kid’s teeth. They are super friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful experience my son felt safe and they fully educate you on proper habits. The waiting room was suited for different ages and has books to read even though the wait was not long and I was seen before my appointment time.Staff was super friendly and customer service upon exiting was clear and accommodating.

Experiencia fantástica: This was my daughter’s first time going to the dentist and I thought she was going to have a hard time. But the staff was wonderful! The hygienist and doctor were so patient and my daughter ended up doing great! Loved this office, would recommend for anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: We have been to this dentist’s office twice after leaving a really scary dentist, and let me just say this office is amazing! All of the staff are so kind and welcoming, and the technicians and dentists are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. My kids love going here! They used to be scared of the dentist, but not anymore! Thank you guys so much for making dental visits stress-free!

Experiencia fantástica: My son loves coming here. they are so friendly and gentle with him. Everybody here is absolutely amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: We've been bringing our kids to Pediatric Dentistry of Port Charlotte for the last 7 years. My kids actually love going to the dentist because the team is always so wonderful. Not to mention everything is spotless and I know they're always honest with me with what my kids need for their oral health. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Was looking for a new dentist for my son to get a cleaning and check out a concern I had. I called the office and was able to be fit in immediately. The wait time was nonexistent and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Kacey, who did my son’a cleaning did an amazing job of keeping my son calm and happy and made the procedure go smoothly! We saw Dr. Vanderbosch and she was extremely knowledgeable and I feel very confident in staying there for the indefinite future as a patient. Great job! Will recommend to anyone looking for a great place to take your kids.

Experiencia fantástica: “The staff is amazing—from the front desk team to the dentist and dental hygienist. They provide such wonderful care. My children are walked through each step of their procedures, and their patience is truly remarkable. That kind of care is a blessing for any parent.”

Experiencia fantástica: They were very patient with my two toddlers, specially my Autistic one. They offer flourode and x-ray only if I wanted. They didn't impose it.

Experiencia fantástica: They are so supportive of the little ones. The office is cute and clean. They have tvs to keep the little ones distracted while their teeth are checked. Our favorite dentist. Wish they took adults too

Experiencia fantástica: All 3 kids love it here. They are so efficient and nice!

Experiencia negativa: I had a great experience at this place for the past year but today is another story. They have some good staff in there at the same time I feel they are about money and not quality of care. In my son last 6 months cleaning they recommended him to an orthodontist because they had some concerns about how crowded his teeth are and the new one can’t come out due to not having enough space so slack orthodontist recommended extractions to make room which was what the dentist concerned were from the initial eval. Fine I called to schedule they told me my out pocket not a problem then I got a call back from Joyce who was very short tempered while she tells me they have to charge me another mouth evaluation to look at the concern they referred me on his last visit. I said why what is the difference from what the orthodontist is recommended/agreeing to what you send me to them in the first place then she proceed to mute me and I hung up. Another staff called me back with the same sentence stating insurance won’t pay for it because it’s the same eval he had on his last visit we just name it different so they insurance won’t cover it since we all know you only get 2 a year. Not my problem is not the money just wonder why would I pay for the same evaluation to led you to referred me to specialist. She said it’s not the orthodontist job to recommend extractions they specialize more in braces ‍♀️ last time I check that inaccurate information that’s why you work hand and hand with a specialist. She proceeded to say it’s not the orthodontist call to make so I asked why didn’t your doctor make the decision from his initial eval instead of recommending me to a specialist. I see why insurance is so picky on approving certain services because it’s really a rip off at the end. I’m so disappointed and irritated at the same time. So the orthodontist that didn’t charge me for an x ray to do their required initial eval what does that say about them . Unbelievable

Experiencia fantástica: We had such a great first experience! My kids loved it! They were so kind and caring.

Experiencia fantástica: Every person that works here is the kindest, most patient, and gentle with my kids. My kids stress about going to the dentist and by the end of the appointment, they don’t want to leave! My kids have been going every 6 months since my oldest was 2 and he’s 6 now. It has always been a pleasant experience for not only my kids, but for my mama heart as well. I highly recommend you check out Pediatric dentistry of PC if you are nervous about how your kids will do. I’m telling you, they are amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing service! Will be back!

Experiencia fantástica: My children have been coming to Pediatric Dentistry for over 9yrs and we absolutely love it. The staff are wonderful and truly caring.

Experiencia fantástica: We recently moved from Bradenton, and my son had to transfer here. I was a bit nervous since he’s not the biggest fan of going to the dentist, but the team at Pediatric Dentistry of Port Charlotte completely put us at ease. From the staff to the dental assistants and dentists, everyone was so kind, patient, and amazing with him. I couldn’t be happier with the care we received!

Experiencia fantástica: The entire team (front desk included) understands how to work with kids - especially those that may be anxious about a dental visit or procedure. Check in is efficient and appointments are on-time. Staff is organized and thorough. We also absolutely love Ellie, the therapy dog.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience as usual. My two boys have been going here since 2019. Super friendly staff and atmosphere.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience! The staff was so kind and patient with my 6-year-old and made her feel comfortable. She left smiling and actually wants to come back!

Experiencia fantástica: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff made my kids feel comfortable and welcomed. The waiting area was kid-friendly, and the hygienists took the time to explain everything in a way my kids could understand. The dentist was patient, gentle, and truly cared about making sure my children were at ease the entire time. As a mom, it means so much to know my kids are getting excellent care in an environment where they actually feel safe and even enjoy their visit. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a pediatric dentist who really goes above and beyond!

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter had dental work under sedation today and she was very well taken care of by not only the staff and dentist at the office but also the anesthesiologist Dr. Shepard thank you guys for making it a less worry some appointment!

Experiencia fantástica: Loved the staff, they're amazing!! Office is super clean and kid friendly. Was early for our appointment and were called back right away.

Experiencia fantástica: Very happy with all the staff in the office. Thankful for the patience they display and that they don’t give up when the kids are hesitant. We made great progress with my youngest today. Beautiful, clean office. I highly recommend for all your kids dental needs!

Experiencia positiva: Im giving this business a 3 star being generous because there's nice people at this office, and I like the set up they have for the kids. Other than that, I will be taking my kids to Cool Kids Dental after what happened this morning. Its the first day for my preschooler and 2nd day for my middle schoolers. I made these appointments 6 months ago, so wasn't aware their appointment fell on the first week of school. So I call to reschedule (mind u, we've been coming here for a year and a half now since I got PRIVATE insurance) one of the girls was nice while saying this - but if you have to reschedule your child's appointment, be prepared to be charged $50 PER CHILD. that would've been $150 for rescheduling PLUS I pay $200 a month for insurance. That's a little extreme. Sad, because we really liked this place and their team and yes, the other office im going to doesnt do this.

Experiencia fantástica: They are amazing. My boy has ASD and sometimes is very challenging to deal with him. The staff went above and beyond today with us helping me to manage his tantrum. Thank you all.

Experiencia fantástica: We love it! It's our first visit today and when we are driving home my 2 sons said they love the ladies that attended to them and love the place, the toys, the TV for them to watch while they work on thier teeth, all amazing, wish they also attend to adult and I will go there too, lol

Experiencia fantástica: We love Pediatric dentistry!!! They are always so kind and patient with my kids. I love that I am able to have my children get their teeth cleaned at the same time and it is all in their open space room, so I can see them all at the same time! Their dental hygienists take their time and explain what they are doing to my kids and made it a fun experience. Best pediatric dentist around.

Experiencia fantástica: Clean and has very cute decor, staff is nice.

Experiencia fantástica: It was our daughter’s first visit and they made her feel so comfortable. The office was clean and the staff was patient and helpful
