Huntington Smiles Pediatric Dentistry

Excellent

I have been going to Huntington Smiles since 2017, and I couldn’t be happier with the care my family receives. I have two children with special needs, and the staff is always incredibly patient, kind, and respectful with them. Their compassion and understanding mean so much to us.

Over the years, I have referred three family members, and they all love the practice as well. I have never missed my six-month appointments because I truly trust their team and the quality of care they provide.

One thing I especially appreciate is that they are open on Saturdays, which is a huge plus for busy families like mine. I was there last Saturday with my three children, and they were seen quickly. Everything went smoothly, and the visit was stress-free.

Thank you so much, Huntington Smiles, for your outstanding service and for always making my family feel welcome and cared for! ❤🦷😊 Valdez family loves ya’ … by the way Jared take a picture every time with go since he was 2 years old 🤣🤣😍

My son has been going to Huntington Smiles for years now and it’s been amazing wouldn’t change a thing.

It’s a good place for you teeth and clean good

I used to be very HAPPY with this dental and had recommended it to many friends and family. But after our most recent visit, I will NOT RETURN.
My daughter needed a crown extraction because of infection, and I had confirmed an appointment with Dr. Rod Blasco in person. He asked me to come back because he was busy that day, so we scheduled the extraction for the following Tuesday. That day, I also booked a simple teeth cleaning for my son.
After check-in, we were told my son needed an X-ray first. I clearly stated that if the X-ray wasn’t essential for cleaning, we’d skip it. From that moment, the experience went DOWNFALL. The staff became visibly unhappy. My son was left waiting for nearly 50 minutes while the hygienist helped other patients. When the dentist finally arrived, she spoke to me in a demanding tone and emotionally insisted on an X-ray. I politely declined again and signed the waiver as requested—but she continued to press me even after I agreed.
When my son's teeth cleaning finally began, I was shocked: it only took less than a minute. The hygienist flossed only once between two teeth and barely brushed the front surfaces before calling it done. The same hygienist had done an excellent job on my daughter just a week earlier. Was this rushed, unprofessional cleaning really because I declined the X-ray?
To make the experience worse, even though I had confirmed my daughter’s appointment with Dr. Rod Blasco in person, when it was time for her extraction (after anesthesia was already administered), I was told the doctor had changed. No prior notice was given, and my only option was to rebook. I just had to let her do it. 1 minute to finish the anesthesia shot, 15-20 minutes to wait for the anesthesia to be worked, and 2 minutes to finish the extract. I didn’t get why I couldn't do it the first time when I was scheduled for it.
The entire visit was full of mistreatment, emotion, lack of respect and unprofessionalism. This time it completely disappointed me.

Love this place, my kids are been patients for almost 6 years, the ambient is appropriate for kids, the personnel is very friendly and experts treating kids of all ages. I definitely recommended to everyone.

They are the best pediatric dentist in town.

During the appointment, my son was understandably nervous and refused to lie on the chair. While I was actively trying to calm him down and help him cooperate, one of the staff members proceeded to brush his teeth without giving me any notice or asking for my consent. I was then told to hold him down while this was happening.
This experience was upsetting for both me and my son. I would have appreciated being consulted first and being given the chance to help manage the situation in a gentler and more collaborative way. As a parent, it’s very important to me that my child feels safe and respected during healthcare visits, and that I am part of the decision-making process.
I hope this feedback can be taken seriously so that future interactions with young patients and their families are handled with greater care and communication.

A very friendly and inviting environment. My kids did not want to leave the office even after their appointment. Definitely a great way to distract from something that scares most children. The actual cleaning is done very quickly and my son (4) had his first set of X-rays which were so quick and easy, nothing like what I remember as a kid and even adult. They answer any questions you have about your children’s teeth, mouth and development. We were in and out in 20 minutes!

Fun themed decor. Techy games and activities in waiting room. Photo prop. The kids don't feel like they're at the dr. Been taking my son worth special needs her for years. THE ENTIRE STAFF OF PHENOMENAL!!! they are kind, patient, observant and innovative. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend to any family of any needs. This office has truly turned a scary, anxiety provoking appointment into a quick, pleasant visit every time. I am so grateful for this office and their dedication to making it a pleasant experience for the kids.
