Our Office

 

Our office stands out for several reasons, starting with our people. Specially trained clinicians and team members are uniquely equipped with behavioral and environmental techniques to ensure a successful visit.

"That’s Never Happened Before"

 

A phrase we commonly hear in our office is, “That’s never happened before.” That’s because we go above and beyond to develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient, while striving to create a welcoming, comfortable environment. This helps patients enjoy a successful visit while helping to make proper oral health achievable between office visits.

I have had the best experience with PDS. From the very first phone call, to the appointment, to the moment I left, I have felt seen, heard, and well-taken care of. Dental visits have always been a sensory nightmare and everyone at PDS has completely changed my view on that perspective. Thank you Ebbeth for making me feel so welcome. Thank you Evelyn for explaining everything with such detail and attention & thank you for training Azana so we can have more excellent hygienists just like you. Thank you to Dr. Nicku for making me feel safe and helping me breathe and cleaning my teeth so thoroughly. Highly recommend & can’t wait to come back <3

I felt very comfortable and relaxed with Dentist Kayla Erps. I appreciated how she explained and taught as she set up a plan for my dental care. Her assistant was also good. I really enjoy Beatriz in the front office, and Abby. They are so helpful and warm and welcoming. Jan Johnson

Dr. Kayla and Carmen are awesome! They make my daughter very comfortable with coming to see the dentist. We highly recommended them for anyone looking for a special needs dentist.
