Testimonials

My son is 21 months old and we went to Redwood Pediatric Dentistry for his first appointment. Dr. Jason (don’t recall his last name) was fantastic. I highly recommend coming here if you have a small one who is starting dental appointments!

If your newborn is losing weight, or your toddler’s speech is delayed, I highly encourage you to bring them in to Dr. Horgesheimer. The impact a tongue or lip tie can have on a child's ability to thrive and your mental and emotional health as a parent cannot be understated.... read more Redwood Pediatric Dentistry (RWPD) has the rare expertise necessary to quickly and effectively treat this commonly undiagnosed issue. We live in California and traveled to Utah for Dr. Horgesheimer's expertise, and I plan on bringing all of our future children to RWPD for a tie check, despite the distance. Our tongue tie story is not unusual. I was deeply concerned when newborn C’s weight dwindled from the 20th percentile down to the second. Four med professionals insisted that C would eat when he was hungry and encouraged us to keep breastfeeding on demand. Despite nursing for long periods of time, he was not gaining weight. My instincts told me something was wrong, but each medical provider firmly assured me that I was mistaken, even with the scale showing otherwise. At five months, finally concerned with his weight trajectory, our pediatrician gave the go-ahead for us to start on solids. C’s weight drifted back up to an acceptable range. When C showed signs of a speech delay, I knew that my earlier instincts had been correct, and that we were dealing with something structural. After all of the earlier medical trauma, I was concerned that I wouldn’t be taken seriously. We found a PROMPT trained speech therapist, who insisted we take C to a dentist to be checked for any structural abnormalities. Although we live hundreds of miles away, a family member who knows and trusts Dr. Horgesheimer recommended we visit RWPD. Like most children, our son was anxious about going to the doctor. His eyes lit up when he saw the absolutely magical lobby. C played in the treehouse while I checked us in. We were taken back by the friendly staff, and Dr. Horgesheimer joined us quickly for the evaluation. His bedside manner is nothing short of magical, both for parents and his young patients. I was so nervous about getting our son to open his mouth for the dentist, but I didn’t need to worry in the slightest. He knew every trick in the book to get our son to open up. He listened to my concerns, validated them, and explained why C was unable to make certain sounds and routinely rolled his lower jaw forward. We discussed treatment going forward, and Dr. Horgesheimer highly encouraged us to continue speech therapy post-release. All it took was two minutes with Dr. Horgesheimer for C’s tongue tie to be discovered. Half an hour later, Dr. Horgesheimer released the tie, and we were sent on our merry way. The improvement this procedure has made in my son’s speech and sleep is amazing. C had snored since the day he was born. The first night post-op, I realised he wasn’t snoring anymore. He finally could rest his tongue on the roof of his mouth. We are now six weeks post op and meeting weekly with the speech therapist who evaluated C before and after the procedure. She has remarked many times that she believes C was always trying hard, but that the tongue tie release made an impossible task now well within reach. C’s skillfully performed tongue tie release, paired with effective speech therapy, has facilitated a language explosion with clarity of speech that I once worried would never happen. Thanks to Redwood Pediatric Dentistry, our son now has a full range of motion for his tongue and is caught up to the expected speech timeline for his age group. It can be intimidating to go to yet another meeting with a provider, especially if your concerns have been dismissed by other medical professionals. As a parent, you can rest assured that Dr. Horgesheimer will listen to your instincts and thoughtfully walk you through the best options for your child’s health. His expert care could make all the difference in your child’s life, as he has in C’s. Dr. Horgesheimer has given my son the ability to speak, properly sleep, and eat, and we are forever thankful.

We were recommended this dentist by the dentist my husband and I go to. So glad they told us about this place! My son is always excited to come to the dentist and says he loves it here. They make it really funny for the kids to come - a... read more little playground in the waiting area, TVs in the ceiling for kids to watch while their mouths are open, prizes afterwards, and really nice dentists! We don't have a preference on which dentist sees the kids because we've had a good experience with each one we've met.

My almost-2-year-old fell and chipped her 2 front teeth. Dr. Horgesheimer did an incredibly beautiful and thorough job fixing them - you would never know that they had ever broken! They look exactly like before. He was so kind and sweet with her. The waiting area was so fun and... read more helped her feel comfortable and happy. He was professional and explained everything so well. He also did a tongue tie release for my nephew, and that was amazing as well. Wonderful staff and experience! We are thrilled with the results and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

The dentists who work here are a team for sure! They understand the kids by the behavior the kid show, and the staff know how to accommodate or work with the kids so they are comfortable. The staff listen and understand parent and child concerns and how to prevent cavities.... read more I love that when our children have cavities, the dentist offers preventive strategies, and as long as I (as the parent) help my child follow thr0ugh with the prevention strategy, their teeth don't need fillings for longer. Instead of fillings on the next visit for neglecting to follow through with preventive care. Good job, and we are always satisfied with the care received.

Best of the best! I love their kindness, their integrity, their promptness. I can't recommend this place enough. They have my heart!

I 100% do not recommend this clinic to anyone. We saw Dr Chuck for 6 years and only wish we had left sooner. If you are looking for a dentist who is in cahoots with the ortho down the hall to lie to get your child into braces as early... read more as possible, then this is your place! I was told on several different visits we needed unnecessary and expensive dental work done. The first time I refused one procedure, the second time, I refused a totally different procedure and left. We felt the dentist treated us like a salesman and not a doctor whom had our child's best interest at heart. It became blatantly clear once I got a second opinion and treated with respect from another dental practice. Its frustrating when we put our child's trust in these professionals whom are shady. Im glad I listened to my instincts and left.

Great and fun environment! They’re so good with kids and make going to the dentist fun!

good

Love Redwood Pediatric Dentistry all the staff is so caring.

We have loved coming to Redwood Pediatric Dentistry! Dr. McDonald, the hygienists, and the assistants are so great with my son. All the staff members are so kind and patient. Dr. Odion did my daughter's tongue and lip tie release. He was so patient and informative throughout the whole process.

We were referred by our amazing dentist, Dr Burdett. We have young kids who need special care and this office is centered around little ones. My husband said it was like their calling. We met with Dr Chuck and they were awesome and super understanding about all the wiggles.... read more So glad we found a great dentist for our kids.

They are always friendly and work super well with kids nervous about procedures that are about to happen. My youngest calls them the "Tickely Tooth Doctors" and loves it when it's time to visit them.

The receptionist and everyone on the front end customer service skills is horrible, they really need to learn how to treat their clients. They just lost a client who's been with them for years over a fee that could have been waived. We will be moving to a different... read more dentist office.

We love it here!

The best place to take your kids, staff is so good with kids and Dentist are the best!

Dr. Chuck is super nice and kid friendly! Always makes trips to the dentist fun

Dr. Chuck and staff were amazing as always with my sometimes difficult kids

Every time i went to this practice i had some type of issue with the reception people. Very random things.... it seems like there's a slowness or a lack of willingness to assist the customers and resolve issues. Weird. Moving on to a different practice.

Very cozy and welcoming

We have been patients at Redwood Pediatric Dentistry for 20 years. My kids think it’s fun to go to the dentist! The hygienists are always friendly and careful.

Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Dr. McDonald just saved my little girls Labor Day weekend. Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend my girl falls off a skateboard at her friends and cracks off a whole half of her big front tooth. Dr. McDonald was on his way out of town with his... read more family for the weekend and came to fix her tooth on his way out. Totally saved the day and days coming. My wife and I were headed to Moab so it delayed us but would have been much worse if we couldn’t have gotten it fixed. Thank you so much Dr. McDonald!!! He and his family were so nice also especially for having to come in when they were heading out of town. Thank you thank you!

They have some of the best dentists around

Jason is amazing

Best dentist ever! My family has been going here for 20 years and we’ve loved it. We usually have drive about 40 minute just to go here.

All my kids have been going to this office since they were little. 2 graduated from this office. We all love the dentists and staff! They are very caring, kind and helpful! I recommend this office to anyone who needs a great Pediatric dentist.

After going to the dentist today, my 3 year old said "the dentist is Awesome! Very awesome" so grateful Dr Chuck and staff helped her have such a good checkup

They referred me to a place that hurt my children!! Not even a year after my daughter's surgery she had all her teeth pulled out! My son had his nose ruptured in his surgery! Shame on those involved!

We have been going to Redwood Pediatric Dentistry for over ten years, and they have been fantastic for all four of my children!

This place is fantastic. The whole setup creates a welcoming environment for children and families. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make going to the dentist a positive experience.

If I could give more stars, I would! Dr. McDonald is SO great with kids and is honest and forthright with parents, which is so appreciated! He goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels comfortable there. My daughter had a cavity and from the time we checked in,... read more to the time we left was ONLY 22 mins and we had barely any tears! We couldn’t believe it because it’s only been the opposite experience with other providers. Can’t recommend this office enough!

It truly is a shame when you have to take your previously positive review and flip it around. The Dentists here are superb. It's the billing practices that drove us away. We encounted more than one billing concern. I've been down this rabbit hole with other dentists. Is this just... read more the industry norm? Why does billing have to be shady and ruin an otherwise good thing? Oh well. Moving on...

They are all very nice i enjoyed my visit. They made my kids comfortable.

Don’t go anywhere else!! This is the first review I’ve made in my life but it is because I was so happy with my experience. My baby had tongue, lip, and buccal ties so I was prepared for an awful scary experience, and a miserable week of recovery…but it was... read more opposite! Dr. Chuck told me exactly what to expect with clear instructions. It was so fast, which was a huge relief especially on those mom heart strings. My baby is nursing one hundred times better which is resulting in both of us sleeping better. I can’t thank them enough!
