San F.
Wonderful experience!!! My kids are very welcomed from check in to end of the appointment. Staff is wonderful and approachable. The doctors are all nice and very friendly. Highly recommend them for your little ones!
Guillermo C.
I am so happy to have found this place. My son loved it from the moment he walked in. There is a fun decor, comfy seats, a big TV playing Disney+, and awesome front desk workers. Everyone and the doctor were very kind, gentle, and checked in with dad and the patient throughout the whole process. They were on time as well which is always great but rare to find in medical fields.

Highly recommend!
Susana V.
My children love this dentist office and everyone is so friendly here. That makes me feel secure in bringing them to this pediatric dentist. The kids leave saying it was so much fun 😁
Zeynep G.
Very friendly and experience staff. My kids are looking forward to their dental visits!
Angela A
My daughter went in stressed out and came out so happy and calm. Incredible staff and doctor! She’s actually excited to get back to dentist! Highly recommend!
Jessica W.
I took my daughter who is 18 months old to her first dentist visit and it was such a wonderful experience! I thought it would be all tears for my little one but they made the whole appointment so comforting and smooth. I will definitely be bringing her back here for all her future dental care.
Yanet O.
My daughter had a great first dental visit experience. Dr. Avula and Amy are so good with kids! From the beginning everyone was very attentive. My daughter mostly speaks Spanish so Dr. Avula would let her know what was going on throughout the dental exam in Spanish! She was so happy that keeps asking me to go back to the dentist.
Stephanie H.
I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Dr. Jonathan Chang at Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry. He’s an amazing dentist and a wonderful person who has been taking care of my three boys since they were very young. (7 plus years) Dr. Chang and his team know us so well and always make the experience positive, even when it could be hard or scary for the kids. They do an incredible job of being patient, talking the boys through each step, and providing unwavering support for our whole family. We’ve always been extremely happy with the care and service.
Respectfully,
Stephanie

Took my two year old son to his first appointment here. He had a great experience. The office staff was friendly, well organized and answered any questions I had. The dentist and the dental assistant explained every tool to my son and what they were going to do before they did he so he was prepared and not scared.

Faith F.
We have been going to Just Kids for 4 years now and we love it! My kids are pretty nervous about going to the dentist, but I appreciate how Just Kids tries to make it a positive experience from beginning to end. The waiting room has arcade games and books and colorful windows with drawings of cartoon characters. During the visits, they give my kids a choice of what to watch to make them feel comfortable and at the end they get little prizes and animal balloons!

We usually see Dr. Bryan, but all the doctors (Dr. Jeff, Dr. Tarek) and the entire staff at San Leandro have been amazing. Dr. Bryan is great with kids and I can tell that he really cares about his patients. We never feel rushed and he always takes his time to discuss his concerns and treatment plans. The dental assistants are also very patient (even when my kids are going through all the emotions). They are thorough with cleanings and give their recommendations on what we can improve on at home. Thank you Just Kids! Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your kids enjoy our services and environment. Our team truly values creating positive dental experiences for every child. We appreciate your support!

We went in for a regular teeth cleaning for both of my children. We were in and out within 30 minutes. Dr Bryan Chao and staffs were great. We’ve been coming here for around 3 years now and we love it here. After each visit the kiddos get a balloon figure and a coin for little toys so it’s a nice way to end each visit.

Great service. Called for a second opinion and got the same day appt. And I am glad I did that. Dr Bryan was so knowledgeable and addressed all my concerns. My daughter was misdiagnosed by the previous dentist and I am glad I decided to have her checked by another one.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Kavita. We're glad to hear that Dr. Bryan was able to address your concerns and provide the quality care your daughter needed. We appreciate your trust in us.
Karen L.
I brought my 14 month old here for his first dental visit. The office is near the San Leandro main library. Dr. Bryan and the entire staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They kept my baby entertained with a balloon dog and a bit of TV while they examined his mouth. We went home with a t-shirt and some goodies. Definitely a great experience for my baby’s first visit to the dentist!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Karen! We're delighted to hear that your child's first dental visit was a positive experience. Our team is dedicated to making dentistry enjoyable for kids. We look forward to seeing you again!
Nicole A.
I’ve been taking my two year old to Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry in Fremont since he was one, and I’ve been very happy with the service. I really appreciate how every staff member is so friendly, positive, and patient. They all work really hard to make going to the dentist as fun as possible for babies and toddlers (and I’m sure older kids as well), which can be a challenge because my son isn’t cooperative and he usually cries even when we brush his teeth at home. He always leaves smiling thanks to the balloons, songs, and prizes. And I’m really relieved we’re taking good care of his teeth from the start.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Nicole! We’re thrilled to hear that your son enjoys his visits. Creating a fun and positive dental experience for young children is our priority. We appreciate your kind words!
Frances C.
We took our kid in for dental check-ups several times and was impressed with how staff served kids' dental needs here. It is pretty intimidating for our kid to have the first few dental visit. However, dental hygienist and Dr. Tan were very patient and was able to persuade my kid to cooperate. All the staff were friendly and had their own charms that work on kids. Love how they went above and beyond to make the dental office very kid friendly. Dr. Tan was very professional. I would highly recommend her to any kid!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your child had a positive experience with Dr. Tan and our team. We strive to make dental visits enjoyable for kids. Your recommendation is truly appreciated!
Kimberly R.
First time coming and we had the best experience. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I love how they treated my daughter
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Kimberly! We're thrilled to hear that you and your daughter had a great experience. Our team always strives to provide a welcoming atmosphere for our young patients.
Melody A.
Dr. Chang is undoubtedly among the most exceptional doctors I've encountered! Remarkably compassionate, he possesses the ability to perform miracles on children who would otherwise be reluctant to sit in a dentist's chair. It's truly difficult to express my immense gratitude for Dr. Chang and his wonderful team, as they provided a solution for my son's multiple cavities without resorting to anesthesia. I can't imagine what I would have done without their assistance.THANK YOU Dr. Chang!!!
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!
Shawnette M.
My son recently had his first visit to Just Kids Pediatric in Tracy, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. They made both my son and me feel welcome and at ease, which is so important for a first-time visit. The environment was clean, kid-friendly, and well-organized, which added to the overall comfort and professionalism of the office.

What stood out to me the most was the level of customer service. Every staff member we interacted with was patient, kind, and informative. They took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions without rushing through the process. Since I was paying out of pocket, I was especially grateful when they offered me a dental plan option to help make future visits more affordable. It showed they genuinely care about the families they serve and are willing to work with different financial situations.

Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with our experience and feel confident bringing my son back for future visits. I would definitely recommend Just Kids Pediatric to other parents looking for quality, compassionate dental care for their children.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Shawnette! We're thrilled to hear that your son's first visit exceeded expectations. Our team is dedicated to creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for families. Looking forward to seeing you both again!
Tina P.
My kids have been coming almost for 8 years now. Every time we come we feel welcomed by their friendly staff. It’s always been clean which is nice. They give the kids coins to use at the end of the appointment for the different prize machines that they have.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your child felt comfortable with Dr. Tan. Creating a positive experience for kids is our top priority at Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry.

This is a wonderful place to take your child to the dentist. The dental assistants and dentists are so good with children. The front office is very nice. They have a TV mounted to the ceiling, so kids can be distracted by a show while they get examined. Your child gets a balloon afterwards and a token to get a prize. They really have thought of everything and make going to the dentist fun. I’m so glad I found Just Kids Pediatrics Dentistry and highly recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your child enjoyed their visit and found our team attentive and caring. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Jillian B.
My 2.5 year old son and I had a great first experience with Dr. Jonathan Chang. We are new to town with no personal recommendations for children’s dentistry and picked this one. Due to COVID they had us wait in the doorway until it our turn to check in. Super speedy, delightful staff behind the desk. Smooth process. We waited maybe 4-8 minutes (which was perfect for a curious 2.5 year old) and we’re taken back by Elizabeth who immediately started working on building a relationship with my son. She was so patient, and encouraged his curiosity, while also checking his teeth and doing the annual cleaning. She gave me tips on how to clean my sons teeth better and even showed me which was helpful. Dr. Jonathan came along next- not a long wait at all between the cleaning and dr. check. Again, very kind, very welcoming, you can tell he loves kids and what he does. I didn’t feel rushed and knew I could ask whatever questions I had. I am so happy we stumbled upon this place. I look forward to coming back. My kiddo left by saying goodbye to everyone with a huge smile of confidence and a squeak clean smile.

Dr. Jon, our dentist, and his staff is amazing with my child's dental care. From the start, their warm and friendly approach put my child at ease during appointments. Dr. Jon's expertise and gentle manner ensure positive experiences for my little one, without fear or anxiety. He takes the time to educate us on proper oral hygiene practices at home, benefiting my child's long-term dental health. I am relieved and grateful to have found such an exceptional dentist for my child, like one I had growing up! We will continue to see Dr. Jon and highly recommend him to any parent seeking excellent pediatric dental care.

Update: April 2025
Still my favorite dentist. We recently moved to Sunnyvale and we will continue to make the commute to Fremont to be seen by Dr. Jon and his staff. Thank you for everything.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are honored to serve each and every one of our patients!
christopher P.
Great place to take kids. Everyone is patient. My daughters used to be scared of dentist but now look forward to their visit. My eldest asked if she can watch movies. 😄 They get balloon animals and toys from toy machine.

Charmaine M.
My son is always nervous when it comes to going to the doctor or dentist. The staff at Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry are always so nice and patient with him! He looks forward to picking his prize at the end of his cleanings. They have TVs in the waiting room and above the dental chairs to keep your kids entertained. The facility is always very clean and welcoming.
Ashley P.
My 2 year old has been treated so well here! Even the first visit, when he screamed the whole time, they stayed calm and examined as gently as could be. It’s clear they are well versed and well trained in working with children.

When he took a tumble and injured a tooth across the country, we were able to do a FaceTime within the hour and determine if immediate intervention was needed, or if we could wait the two days until we were back to be seen. Knowing the dentists will be there for you in an emergency is such a relief!

For regular visits, the hygienists will make the kids a balloon animal and give them a token for their prize wall, which is enough for my kiddo to want to go back to the dentist every time! Anytime someone in the area mentions needing a pediatric dentist, I cannot say enough good things about Just Kids. Definitely a wonderful practice and we look forward to many more years of great service.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Ashley, for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that your little one feels comfortable with us. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care and making every visit enjoyable for children. Looking forward to seeing you again!

The office is really cute and everyone is friendly. They also have a pac-man game for kids to play while you wait for the doctor. The doctors and staffs are very patience when I bring my son in. We both enjoy going there. Oh, you get a balloon after your visit too.
Kay Kolos M.
Such a great experience with our toddlers first visit! Got checked in very efficiently and the appointment was on time. The staff was very professional and good with babies - we had cleaning and exam done with no problems. Recommending and we’re looking forward to our next visit.

Erin S.
Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry is honestly the best place I've ever taken my son for dental work! I've tried a few, but I'm sticking with them forever because of how good they are with kids. They are fast, affordable with Delta Dental, and my son got major surgery with them and it couldn't have gone better. The staff is so experienced and sweet to the kids, and offer them treat bags, balloon animals and are warm and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. And I don't post many reviews, so believe me, they are amazing!
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!

Awesome experience with Dr. Jon. He and the staff here are very sweet and friendly. My son had an awesome visit here, loved playing on the play fort while we waited for our appointment to start.

dan r
Amazing office and staff. Dr. Pooja Rattan was a breath of fresh air. I had some concerns regarding fluoride and other things and she was super patient in trying to meet me halfway instead of just pushing her point of view, like so many other dentists do. She was also great at chatting away with my kid…she was able to make him so comfortable and distracted that he did not even know when she extracted his tooth. I did not think it would go so well! I’m really impressed by this doctor and this office.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Dan, for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that Dr. Pooja Rattan provided such a positive experience for you and your child. Your satisfaction is our top priority.
srividya S.
Wonderful experience overall for the regular 6 month check up. Got my sons teeth cleaned and they took x rays to check his teeth alignment. Professional staff and my son particularly liked the balloon made by the nurse

naomi P.
Hands down the best dentist experience for my two young children. They absolutely love the setting, most of all the entire staff is super friendly which keeps them relaxed throughout the whole process. Specifically Dr. Shilpa Avula who has done work on both of my children she’s amazing with them!! shes creative in ways to help make them feel comfortable & stay calm. She’s very thorough & considerate of all their needs. I’m pleased overall & will continue any treatments, cleanings here for my children.

We have been using the services of this kids dental clinic for three years now. I trust the staff as much as myself. I really like the approach to children. Clear advice, always clean and tidy. Goodwill, honesty, transparency and decency are the most important qualities that I have seen during this time. And this is not unimportant. Thank you for healthy teeth and happy smiles

Chantal Noelle T.
I can't say enough good things about the staff at Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics - Mission Hills. We've been to the downtown location and we love it there and love this location just as much if not more. All 3 of my kids (5,3,1) had their appointment last week and of course going to the dentist can be a little scary but the kids left feeling excited and eager to tell their dad about their fun and amazing experience. The staff here is incredibly patient and went above and beyond for my kids especially since I was a solo parent that day. If you are looking for a Pediatric Dentist look no further! Thank you so much to Dr. Lee, Jasmine, Amy, Lisha & Joselinne!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Chantal! We're thrilled to hear that all three of your kids had a positive experience with us. Our team strives to create a comfortable and fun environment for our young patients. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to seeing you and your family again!

Serafin C.
Today was the best experience my four year old daughter has had with a pediatric dentist. The entire office staff was very pleasant and kind. Every person that I spoke with was friendly and polite and gave my daughter excellent care. My daughter was very nervous about her appointment due to a previous experience at her previous dentist. The dentist himself was amazing and knowledgeable and efficient. We didn’t sit around waiting for the doctor to see an overbooked room of patients which I appreciated. Just kids definitely changed the way she feels about visiting a dentist office.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, Serafin! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter had such a positive visit with us. Our team strives to provide a comfortable and caring environment for our young patients, and we're glad we could help change her perspective on dental visits. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to seeing you both again!

My personal experience at Fremont Pediatric Dentist office has been nothing but positive! especially for my two daughters who always look forward to going to their dentist for work. The staff and office vibe in the last few years of coming here with my two children has been nothing but exemplary. All staff members from front desk to to the doctors and assistants that work there are awesome and very caring to my kids and are the friendliest and most knowledgle workers I have meet. I'm glad to be part of this great family and I look forward to seeing them when I take my kids there. I have nothing but love and respect for their work which is not easy but they always have smile on their faces no matter what! my kids and I appreciate them very much. It has been an honor for me to write my review. thanks again and see you all soon!

Words cannot express how wonderful this place is for kids! My son who has autism used to dread going to the dentist and he now looks forward to going. The personal touch each team member puts into to the overall experience from check in, to assistants, up to Dr. Brian is evident and nothing short of magical. Thank you team for building my son’s trust in the dentist back up!

Mark H.
Just Kids is not our regular dentist due to distance, but we've visited them several times for second opinions or special procedures, and our experiences have been excellent across the board. The pre- and post-visit communication is top notch, the environment is extremely kid-friendly, the staff are professional yet friendly, and most important of all: my wife and I have always felt that the advice and treatment we received was what was truly in the best interest of our child. Heartily recommended!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Mark! We are thrilled to hear that you had excellent experiences with us, even as a secondary choice. Our goal is to provide the best care for your child, and we truly appreciate your recommendations. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime!

Dr Jonathan and Miss Amy are our absolute favorites! They’re so kind and incredibly patient and gentle. They remember so much about their patients, asking for life updates at each appointment, celebrating their wins with them, and making them feel so special and cared for. The office ladies are always so kind and the office is very clean and organized. I HIGHLY recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Tiffany! We’re thrilled to hear that Dr. Jonathan and Miss Amy made such a positive impact on your experience.

GC&C - Charissa G.
Our son has had wonderful experiences with this dentistry team. Our son is on the spectrum, and he has never had anxiety going to the dentist! He has had multiple teeth pulled, a cavity filled, and numerous cleanings! He now flosses his teeth without me reminding him every day.

They are amazing with him, and I appreciate them all making him feel so comfortable. We love this office.
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!

Alondra B
I have an autistic 5 year old brother. It is hard to advocate for little humans as it is, let alone kids with special needs kids who don’t quite know how to properly express what they feel physically. As someone who’s worked in the dental field for nearly 4 years, I know how hard and rare it is to come across Dr’s and staff who are sympathetic, compassionate and who GENUINELY care for their patients. Bay Area Kids Dentist fits the criteria. I called as a referring patient, and they quickly sympathized with my brother and accommodated him with an appointment the very next day. I knew right there and there, this is the ideal office for my brother, as they made it very clear that they were trying to be helpful and relieve my little brother from the discomfort he was experiencing. My brother was treated by Dr. Kim and her wonderful assistant, Olga. I want to express my utmost gratitude to all the staff, front team, dental assistants, and Dr’s. As they were all comprehensive, caring and most importantly, patient. I HIGHLY recommend Bay Area Kids Dentist to anyone who’s looking for an ideal and exceptional pediatric dental office.
Response from the owner:Hi Alondra! We're so happy to know that you and your brother had an amazing experience with us. We will make sure to let Dr. Kim and the rest of our know about your feedback. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you! :)
Michelle C.
I took my 2 children today and had the best experience. The environment of the office was perfect with a small playground that my kids loved. All staff and the doctor were so friendly. One of my child was cooperative and the other one was not but they handled both children professionally in a way that works for each of them. I wish I can get my dental check-ups here! Finally found a place that I won’t have to worry or dread taking my kids to.
Response from the owner:Hi Michelle! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience! Providing a welcoming environment for families is a priority for us, and we're glad your children enjoyed the small playground. It's great to know that our staff and doctor were friendly and able to handle both of your children professionally, catering to their individual needs. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you and your family again! :)
Haixia L.
My son had a checkup yesterday. He gave this visit 5 stars! The affable front desk staff, caring nurses, and knowledgeable doctor made his checkup very easy and comfortable.

I also gave it 5 stars. My daughter had cold symptoms and I had to reschedule her appointment. The front desk staff received my request and processed it quickly.

Thank you Bay Area Kids Dentists!
Response from the owner:Hi Haixia! We're so happy to hear you and your son gave us a 5-star rating! Our aim is to make every visit easy and comfortable.

Flor Maria V.
Updating my review after talking with the doctor:
I am grateful for the care provided by this doctor. She took the time to address all of my concerns. I was worried about using fluoride toothpaste for my 13-month-old baby. One particular worry I had was regarding the use of fluoride toothpaste, a recommendation she had made. She kindly explained the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation of using a 'smear' of fluoride toothpaste twice a day from the appearance of the first tooth until age 3, her expertise instilled in me a sense of trust and confidence. I can recommend her to anyone seeking a doctor who prioritizes patient well-being and takes the time to address every concern with care.
Response from the owner:Hi Flor! We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and any inconvenience caused during your visit. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our patients is our top priority, and we regret if there was any miscommunication regarding the toothpaste prescription. We take your feedback seriously and will take steps to ensure clearer communication in the future. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can resolve this. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve our services.
Manisha G.
We had our regular cleaning appointment for both kids and both the hygienist Jetzy and Dr. Goal were super awesome and friendly. Kids have been going to them for about 2 yrs and we are very happy with the service.
Response from the owner:Hi Manisha! Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled to hear that Jetzy and Dr. Gopal provided were awesome. It's also wonderful to know that your family has been with us for two years already.

We appreciate your trust in us and look forward to seeing your family again at the next appointment!
