Customer Reviews
My absolute dream of a pediatric dentistry! I wish I had the same place as a child. Tv for each kid, I can schedule my 3 boys at the same time, different flavor of toothpaste for each child and a toy choice after the visit. It’s so so cute!
Arcades at the waiting room and adorable photos of kids in nyc.
Can’t recommend more!
As a parent, taking two little ones (my five-year-old and four-year-old) to the dentist can sometimes be a challenge. But our recent check-ups at Chelsea Pediatric Dentistry were genuinely fantastic—a total game-changer, honestly.
First off, walking in, you’re immediately impressed. The office and the equipment are beautiful, designed to be bright and welcoming, not sterile or scary. It instantly calmed everyone down. The whole team is incredibly professional, yet so warm and polite, making the entire visit feel easy.
The cleanings were handled with such patience, and my kids' teeth were cleaned really well. The process was quick and smooth for both of them.
And then there's Dr. Yassmin—she is absolutely amazing! She has such a great way with kids and took the time to explain every single thing to me, making sure I understood our next steps. We feel totally confident in starting the necessary treatment for the children right there soon. We were so happy, we already have their regular check-ups booked for next month!
The cherry on top? The kids were blown away by the amazing goodie bag they got—full of new toothbrushes, fun toothpaste, and other great items. It was such a generous touch!
Finding a place this wonderful is rare. We're so happy with the care and we truly can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend them!
I have been going here for 14 years. The staff is always so friendly and amazing. They do a great job and always work very hard. They have tons of seats and video games and the waiting room. They also have a TV and many raffles.
Dr. Yassmin is the best! The practice is super professional, great communication before and after the visit and made it a seamless experience. They also took great care of my very squirmy toddler, and gave us a ton of comfort as his parents. Love the practice!
Couldn’t be more pleased with Chelsea Pediatric Dentistry. They are fully equipped to seamlessly execute the high quality care you desire from dental procedures as well as your child’s emotional well being - which is tremendous. The kids get the royal treatment there - Netflix shows of their choosing, cool sunglasses in the cleaning chair and a fun toy at the end. Also helps that the space is purple and blue and an overall cheerful and exciting environment to be in. It’s light and airy, and every employee from reception to hygienist (we LOVE Val) to the dentists (and Dr Natasha) are absolutely incredible women. The care my child receives is the most important part and I’m always amazed by how my child is so at ease here so that the professionals can more easily get in and do their job. Just another testament to this special place. Highly recommend!
