We love Dr. Keller and his whole staff We are been taking our 4 kids to him since they were babies about 17 years. They help us all feel comfortable and like we are part of a family. They have TVs for the kids to watch which helps take their minds off whatever procedure they are having. They are all easy to talk to and going to the dentist doesnt feel like a burden. It is always an exceptionally good experience for us all. I could not recommend him more

AMAZING SO IMPRESSED AThis was our first visit to Dolphin Pediatric Dentistry. We were referred here by a dear trusted family friend with 3 children of her own. Sadly we were coming not for a routine cleaning but because our regular family dentist who is not a pediatric dentist noticed some decay between my 5 year old sons teeth.Let me start by saying that Kristen was a joy to speak with on the phone when I first made the appointment. She was warm friendly organized and SO helpfulWhen we first arrived Kristen greeted us and my son was instantly put at ease by his surroundings. The decor and waiting area cater to children. He was informed there was a game room and he was hooked There are video games books tv and other activities for the kids while they wait.We were called back by Kathy who was so welcoming accommodating gentle and just overall wonderful. My son was captivated by the tv mounted in the ceiling and was so enthusiastic to pick his own show from Netflix. He was offered headphones and from that point on he was distracted and tuned out. Typically this is not ideal but its the perfect distraction during a dentist appointmentAfter an initial brief evaluation by Kathy Dr. Keller came in. He was so kind gentle and he put both myself and my son at ease. He examined my sons x-rays took detailed notes and then explained which teeth were in need of fillings and which teeth could be treated non-invasively. I love that Dr. Keller was conservative in his approach in that he didnt just decide to fill all of the cavities regardless of the degree of decay. Since these are baby teeth the cavities that are not very advanced will be treated non-invasively and watched closely. All of the treatments that were recommended to us were thoroughly explained and all of my questionsconcerns were addressed directly by Dr. Keller.Once we were satisfied my son happily hopped down from the chair and Kathy told him he could pick out a prize from the Treasure Box. His eyes totally lit up Especially when she said he could pick 2 prizes because he had been such a good patient She also told him he could pick a prize for his little sister who wasnt with us at the time.Kristen was ready with our quotation including what our insurance was expected to cover. We then made an appointment in a couple weeks for my sons treatment.I couldnt be more impressed with this office the staff and Dr. Keller Both of my children will be coming here regularly from now on I HIGHLY recommend this practice to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist

We were vacationing in San Diego. Our little girl had an infected tooth that required removal. Dr Keller and his staff comforted our child and made the process as painless as possible for all of us. Great bedside manner and very knowledgeable about pediatric dentistry. We may go back to San Diego twice a year just to visit him for check ups.
