Pediatric Dental Specialists - Lee's Summit
Lee's Summit, MO, United States 
Having FOUR sons, we frequent the dentist. Most of the time for happy visits and cleanings, but even when a cavity arises, I trust this group whole heartedly. Dr. Hawkinson is a great dentist & so patient with the kids. The hygienists are all well experienced, explain things in “kid terms” as they go & reward the kids for their behavior. Below someone was outraged by the slushies (yes I laughed at your outrage) they are sugar free & for a child, like my son, who had an extraction today, a frozen treat was earned. Billing answers all my insurance questions, scheduling is friendly, we all around love this office!
The staff has been amazing!!!! My twins are 2 years old and very comfortable coming in and getting an exam. The staff is patient and caring. I'm excited for our next visit so I can catch up with staff and how they are doing. 🤗
The staff is so friendly and patient. They make my child feel so welcome.
The staff was great with my 10 months FIRST VISIT and being so attentive to my son as well! Can’t recommend them enough!
Dr. Lopez is the greatest! Sweetest, calming spirit!
