Dr. Jay is great with kids. My little girl feels very comfortable and actually likes going to the dentist. Highly recommend this dentist/staff to all little ones. "

    • "Had I realized ahead of time that the first time treatment at Scripps Pediatric includes xrays, a real cleaning, a fluoride treatment and a full exam, I would have hesitated to schedule the appointment and possibly chosen a different facility. I just didn't think my 30year-old would be up to so much activity in a first visit.
      But my hats off to the folks at Scripps Pediatric in every way possible. The environment was playful but still serene, the bedside manner of each and every staff member was gentle and calm but also quick and matter of fact about getting the job done.
      The end result is that my boy had a great first visit and didn't skimp on any important steps. And days later he's still talking about how good his teeth are and how important that is. And he likes the dentist!

      "Dr. J - Chase communicated to me that he would like you to communicate with HIM if a procedure is being done (not just mom)...He had a loose tooth and you twisted it out - which at the time was not communicated to him - so he became very tense and nervous. He understands it would have hurt either way and that there was no choice. I only write this in the evaluation because I will forget to tell you all of this I am sure at our next visit! He's actually really good about doing things like shots and drawing blood if you tell him all the steps and process...so I am sure he will be the same with all dental procedures."

      "I have a very sensitive child but after his first check up with Dr. J my son left the dentist office and his first words were "That was fun!" He had to return for some more invasive procedures, but the dentist explained everything to me in detail and was excellent about calming my son, the nurses held his hand and even though there was a tiny tear or two he left with no fears of the dentist and was over the experience and on with his day. I wish I had access to such a caring, gentle and state of the art facility when I was a kid."

      "My daughter went to the dentist for the first time an the staff was amazing. She was so comfortable that she let them get a full set of x-rays and cleaning. She was nervous around the male dentist (although he's not imposing at all and is very nice) and the dentist was very understanding and happy to proceed any way that I saw fit. He event provided a recommendation for an excellent female dentist in the area."

      "I have become very suspicious of dentistry in general, because it often feels like my dentist is trying to sell me something. My experience with Scripps Pediatric Dentistry may have redeemed the profession for me. Dr. J. was very informative and helpful, and I really got the feeling that he cared about my child's health. I was very impressed that Dr. J. helped me feel confident that I could handle any mouth accident or trauma that my daughter might experience. I felt that Laura was very skillful and competent with my "less than thrilled" 14-month-old daughter.
      I would (and I have) recommend Scripps Pediatric Dentistry to anyone.

      "My child loves the environment there with laughing gas and TV screen on the ceiling. He got less anxious and nervous about dental work. The dentist and his assistants are very friendly and patient to him. This place is so high-tech and clean. No more struggling to take his teeth pictures like in the old family dentist office. I love friendly appointment reminders via emails and phone calls. Everything is very positive."

      "Everyone was really great! I have to say the room they have for the kids' exam is amazing. I was able to be in there with all my kids, and they baby was able to play while the older two were getting their teeth cleaned. Dr. J was great with the kids; they really liked him and the facility, even though my daughter was less than thrilled with the whole thing, she said she would go back."

      "we had an awesome experience. we had come from another pediatric dentist who did not meet our needs. dr j and his staff are so focussed on the children's needs (and mom's :)). they are so patient, not rushed at all, and you can tell they try hard to come up with different solutions, depending on the child. both my girls were in for fillings, and they were both very challenging in different ways, but the staff persevered and got it done. very impressed with this dentist."

      "My son and I had an amazing experience with Dr. J and his team. They are caring and look out for the best interest of the patient and family. My son had 2 teeth pullled, fillings & spacers put in. At each appt. my son's nerves were calmed and we were amazed how smooth the whole process was accomplished. My son went thru it pain free and comfortable. He now trusts Dr. J and his team. This has been, by far, the best dental experience I've had over the years and we have had many. Thank you Dr. J for your thoroughness, care, attention and sensitivity to our needs and for going beyound. It makes a world of difference. You are our dentist of choice! Angel and the rest of your team are true gems!"

      "I had no idea how my 2 year old was going to handle her first dentist appointment. Well, that's not true, I thought she was going to HATE it, but I was completely wrong. Dr. J and his staff were so good with her and seemed to put her at ease. She really had a great time and I was relieved. We look forward to going back! Thank you to Dr. J and his staff for loving what they do, it shows!"

      "We took our son in for the first dentist visit and found out he had 5 cavities. We were worried about the sedation and how it was going to affect him. Friday 6am appointment, I was surprised how fast the shot/sedation took place. He didn't even cry or knew it was coming which was helpful. 2 hours later, he came out a little woozy, but knew he was in Mommy's arms. So all in all, it was a good procedure."

They also allowed me to see everything and be right next to her. Staffs are very cheerful, friendly, gentle and patient, which was wonderful for a first time dental visit."

      "When I was looking for a new dentist, I asked my kids Jerabek classmates what they thought. I heard the dentist next to Trader Joes looked like a good one. Both my kids enjoyed their first experience at their new dentist office. They came home to show me how great their teeth looked and what they will continue to do to keep them that way."

      "Great for kids and parents!

      Dr. J is really great with the kids, and also with answering my many Mom questions. My 5 yr old had a cavity filled and she had a good experience with this. Dr. J was kind and patient. Laura his dental assistant has the same qualities. The office is immaculate, kid friendly, and conveniently located! The only reason I didn't give a 5 is that they seem to still be getting some administrative stuff/insurance billing smoothed out, but that is surely just part of having a new practice. That won't stop me from bringing my kids there.
