"I cannot speak more highly
of our experience with Park
Avenue Pediatric Dentistry. Our
daughter needed to go under
sedation at the age of 4 years old.
The staff could not have been
more reassuring. They thoroughly
explained the procedure and were
available for any questions.
Because of their kindness and
professionalism, our daughter
was unafraid."
-S. Hurst

"The entire sedation experience was
excellent, from the initial explanation
of how the procedure would be handled,
to follow-up phone calls to ascertain
further questions and to check in to
make sure our daughter had not
developed a cold prior to the scheduled
day, to the way in which the (person
who administered the sedative dentist)
explained everything to our daughter
and offered support to a mother
who found she was quietly becoming
more nervous than she had expected
while in the waiting room."
-Y. Pomerantz
