Pediatric Dental Specialists - Leawood
Leawood, KS, United States 
The entire team is great! My daughters began going to Pediatric Dental Specialists when they were each about 2 years old. They are now 22 and 16. We’ve been so pleased, we’ve never gone anywhere else. Drs. Hawkinson and Crist are who we see regularly and communication is wonderful!
LOVE this practice! Quick to get in for a tooth emergency and very welcoming. My son LOVES the attention from the slushies to the prizes! Makes going to the dentist easier
Always friendly and just a great team. They have been our kiddos one and only dental office, Top notch!. Impeccable facilities!. Absolutely love this team! Highly recommend. They are great with any age kiddo toddler to teenager!
Dr. Lopez is so calming. She explains every step of the procedure while she is doing it. Just so awesome.
The staff, including the doctor, was patient with our young kids. They were gentle and made the visit as easy as possible. Our kids loved the lobby and game room, as a bonus!
