Mercy G.
Mi hija ya está aquí dos años con el tratamiento es súper bueno 😎🙏
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Mercy! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter has had a positive experience with us over the past two years. We appreciate your trust in our care!
Melly G.
I really like Dr. Brown, she’s gentle and kind with the children she loves her job! My kids will be seeing her on their next check up!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you and your kids appreciate Dr. Brown's gentle approach. We look forward to seeing you all at the next check-up!
Shelby F.
Amazing, professional, fast and transparent. No hidden fees, and the doctors are very personable. They listened to my problems and solved them immediately. It's SO HARD to find a healthcare professional that deals with TMJ and doesn't just refer you elsewhere in an endless cycle. There was NONE of that. They gave me a solution and within a week I was implementing it into my routine. I am ENDLESSLY THANKFUL and my jaw is already alleviated, getting better by the day.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Shelby! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your satisfaction and progress mean a lot to us. We're here to support you every step of the way!
Julanna

I've been taking my daughter to Freeport Kids Dental since she was 4 years old, she's 7 now and I am still very satisfied with their patience and kindness towards her. The dentist can be scary at times but she enjoys going here.
