Children’s Choice Pediatric Dental Care

My daughter has been seen by the dentist here for 2 years now. What a great office everyone is so kind and helpful. I would recommend to family and friends. What an amazing job they do with the children. Office is setup just for them.

They had a great atmosphere for for children. Friendly staff and were helpful with further treatment for my daughter.

My daughter LOVES going to the dentist because of these guys! They are great with kids, can handle difficult insurance questions and are always polite and kind :)

I brought my 2 year old in here for an early morning appt. and had no problems. He enjoyed the Minions movie playing in the waiting room and the slide. The Minions movie was also playing above the dentist chair. They were running on schedule. The dental assistant (Anthony) was friendly enough and xrays (front only) went very smoothly and easily as they have a handheld camera instead of the big machine. I was so impressed that I decided to bring my older 2 children in as well on a different day. My oldest son is 8 but has some issues with going to the dentist. He has ADHD and he is very nervous and needs to be told what is going on and what they are doing which I feel is reasonable. I like to be told what people are doing before they just start shoving things in my mouth as well! He also has a strong gag reflex. These are the exact reasons I take him to a PEDIATRIC dentist office. I made this all clear on the 4 pages of history I had to fill out upon arrival. I had 3 kids with me for this afternoon appt. We arrived early. No movie was playing in the waiting room. Half of the games on the older kid’s side of the waiting room were not working. We had to wait half an hr past our appt time. The dental assistant (Anthony again) was extremely rude, disrespectful, and rough with my son during attempts at doing xrays. My son has a very hard time with the bite wings and at any other dentist appt we’ve been to at other places they are either successful or they let me know they couldn’t get xrays today. I am fine with that. Anthony kept repeating over and over that «Everytime you move we have to start over again. Do you want to keep doing this? Do you want to be here all day? How old are you? I have 3 year olds that can do this!» He then proceeded to pretty roughly shove my son’s face around trying to hold the bite wing in and not allow him to move so he could take the xrays while my son is blinking back tears. He then came over and did his cleaning without ever saying a word to my son. My son looked scared and kept jumping and trying to look behind him. When he was finished he said no food or drink for 30 min. My son asked for water so I asked Anthony does that also mean no water? Anthony snapped at me saying that if I wanted to wash off all the fluoride he just put on then that was up to me. I was pretty pissed at this point and just in a hurry to get out of there. I am sorry if it has been a long day and you want to get off work. I am sorry if my son is a little difficult although I do not feel that it is extreme by any means. He is not fighting or crying or throwing a fit. He is just uncomfortable and nervous. I am sorry if you expect something different from an 8 year old. But maybe you should not work in a children’s office if you can’t deal with children… I will not return to this office.

My son was seen for his 6-​month follow-​up exam. Again the doctors, hygienest, and the front office staff were very nice and extremely professional.
When reading some of the poor reviews I pondered on them and this is my thoughts. Parents you are your child’s advocate. When someone says you need to be put on a waiting list your job is to keep calling at least weekly if not daily to find out when the appointment will be. Ask to speak to an office manager if necessary. Oftentimes front desk people can be overwhelmed and things to be done could get misplaced.

I have nothing but good things to say about this pediatric dentist office! The dentist was incredibly nice with the best bed side manners. He was extremely patient with my 8 yr old son as my son was having a difficult time and not wanting to be there. The staff was very friendly an explain everything in detail what is going on. The office is conveniently located in Lincoln (which is great for me) as well as other locations.
I highly recommend this office for your children’s dental needs.

Poor communication! My son had an appointment for 4:40. We weren’t pulled into the back until 5:10. We were lead to «his» chair and nothing was said. We were left to wait again. Wow! There was no communication about what was going on. I’m not even sure they knew what was going on. This place is lacking. I will not be back and I would not recommend this place.

This place was AWFUL. I should have known by the rude demeanor of the person who scheduled our appointment, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt seeing how there aren’t many pediatric dentists in Lincoln. Not a single person at the office, from the receptionist to the doctor, made any effort to make my daughter feel welcome and comfortable. The technician who took her X-​rays did not explain what he was doing and he snapped at her for moving her tongue. The hygienist that came over to clean her teeth, 25 minutes after our scheduled appointment, did not even introduce herself. She sat down in her chair, said «I’m going to clean your teeth,» went about her business and then got up and left…5 minutes later! For a moment I thought she brushed my daughter’s teeth to prep her for the hygienist, but that was not the case. I’m no expert, but I know that it takes longer than 5 minutes to properly clean teeth! I at least heard the hygienist who was working on a neighboring patient ask them what flavor tooth polish they wanted. No such luck for my daughter! Sure, there are fun games in the lobby and televisions mounted above the dental chairs, but what really matters in a dental practice is the care of your patients. In addition, when working with children the staff could at least introduce themselves and describe what they are doing to give the kids a sense of comfort. I walked out infuriated and did not schedule the recommended follow up appointment. I would rather pay out of pocket for a dentist that doesn’t accept my insurance than go to this office again.

I loved the dental staff at the Sacramento office, and I’m so thankful that they’re in Lincoln. They’ve been great with my kids, and always helpful with getting them in for emergency. Love this place!!!

This is the first time my kids have EVER been excited about going to the dentist! The office is so fun! Games and activities in the waiting room. Lots of bright colors! Each cleaning chair has their own movie screen. Both kids had to get fillings. They made the not so fun experience fun for both of them. My daughter said she laughed and laughed with the dentist «he was so funny». Thank you for helping my kids love the dentist again!

I love Children’s Choice Pediatric Dental Care here in Lincoln because they are nice, friendly, caring and do their best to give each child the dental cate they need while still keeping it an enjoyable visit. Both of my boys enjoy going. I am so thankful. I only wish they would have a full month to schedule for appointments and had a anastesiologist that took all of the same insurance as the practic. Hands down the best pediatric dentists in the area!

BEYOND INFURIATED with this office and Lucy that works there.
My son has severe autism and has a sensitivity issue with his top teeth which makes it incredibly hard to brush and keep clean. We were seen at Childrens Choice February 6 2015 we were told his front two teeth would need to be capped and the little ones next then filled for preventative care. My son has Anthem Blue Cross with medi-​cal. Lucy said since he had medi-​cal he would have to be put on a waiting list and when there was an opening with the anesthesiologist we would get a call. She also said the anesthesiologist, Dr. Miller took carecredit so when we received a call carecredit would take care of the $ 600 fee for Dr. Miller. So I applied for the care credit card when we left there and was accepted, got the card and was ready for the call. Two months went by no call. I called to see where we were on the list and they said they didn’t know but we would get a call soon. Three months went by. May 18^th I noticed my son’s front tooth was chipping so made an emergency appointment with their Howe ave office. My son was absolutely traumatized at this location, they strapped him down and tried to use gas to sedate him. (Which we knew would not work that’s why the plan was to see the anesthesiologist.) After all that they doctor there said «oh ya this isn’t going to work mines well just let him go home» seriously?! He is in pain. When we were checking out at the desk the lady said he should be getting a call soon from Dr. Miller and that my son was just put on the list May 18^th. wtf!
So Lucy at the lincoln office totally dropped the ball and never put my son on the list! And when I got a hold of Dr. Miller’s office they did not accept the carecredit, which Lucy said they did. So here we are needing an appointment asap and I don’t have $ 600 dollars saved up because I was under the impression from LUCY that he took carecredit. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. And I feel terrible for my son because I took him to this hell hole. MY SON NOW HAS TO HAVE ALL FOUR FRONT TEETH REMOVED BECAUSE HE DID NOT GET CARE IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANKS LUCY AT CHILDRENS CHOICE DENTAL!

Yay. Took over the old silver star dental office which is awesome! Fabulous staff. Doc is nice. My little one loved playing in the lobby waiting for his older brother. Kept him busy for over an hour. So happy they are in Lincoln now.

My daughter had been terrified to go to the dentist but she had a great experience at her cleaning with the great friendly staff and then today she had to get two fillings and she actually had fun thanks to the amazing nurse and super fast doctor! I asked if they were done with one filling and he said nope we are done with both fillings and sealing both molars. I was very impressed with both visits and even more impressed that my daughter is excited to go back.
