I cannot say enough wonderful things about this pediatric dental facility! My child has autism and ADHD with significant sensory needs, and dental visits are usually extremely stressful for him. From the moment we walked in, the entire team showed incredible patience, understanding, and compassion. They took their time explaining every step before doing anything, which helped ease his anxiety. They even allowed him to take sensory breaks whenever he needed to calm down, which made a world of difference. The staff encouraged him to touch and explore the tools beforehand so he knew exactly what to expect—something no other dental office has ever offered. What stood out the most was how genuinely they cared about making him feel safe and in control. Their calm, supportive approach transformed an experience that is normally filled with fear into something positive and empowering for him. If you have a child with sensory needs, anxiety, or special considerations, this is absolutely the place to go. We are so grateful for the kindness and expertise of everyone there. Truly an exceptional team!
We love Otter Kids! Dr. Ken and his whole team are so wonderful! Everyone was so kind and patient. The new office is bright and clean with an incredible view. Our youngest has special needs and the care and understanding was really extraordinary! Thank you Dr. Ken, Chris, Desiree, and the whole team!
I’ve personally known Dr. Otterstedt for 2 years now. His dedication and devotion to opening his own practice is beyond words. Dr. Otterstedt has been working towords this goal for a long time now. He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy and I'm so happy that he has something to call his own. Keep up the great work Dr. Otterstedt.
