List of Alford Pediatric & General Dentistry's Reviews
Great experience yet again!! I hate the Dentist and avoiding it for years but I've finally found an office that's friendly, and welcoming. Every hygenist I've seen has been super gentle and makes it very painless and they are always pleasant to talk to. Dr Jason is friendly and funny!
Very thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable! Wonderful experience for both of my kids.
Always accommodating and providing excellent service, I recommend the Alfords to everyone!
Very efficient service Dr. ALFORD is ultra experenced and gental with his care.
Very professional. Worked around my busy schedule.
Establishing with the Alfords has been an excellent decision for my family's dental care. Jason is a down to earth dentist who is thorough and easy to talk to. The kids are stoked and have no qualms about going to their appointments. The hygienists have been gentle. Appointments are timely and efficient. Can't provide enough positive feedback about their practice.
First time I can recall having a good experience at the dentist! At other dental offices, it was always the same problem - they didn’t listen, aggressively pushed procedures on me I didn’t want, and the results were mediocre, at best. As a child, it was traumatizing. As an adult, it was frustrating, and painful. Dr. Alford, and his staff, provide an entirely different and welcoming approach. When I told the hygienist I wanted minimal polishing paste for the cleaning, there was no pushback, just a simple agreement, professional, no drama. When I mentioned that I did not want ultrasonic cleaning as it was very painful, I was told they already noted that in my chart, and the subject was immediately dropped without pushback. That was a first! Not only that, between the hygienist and Dr. Alford, my cleaning was so thorough that afterwards I couldn’t feel any rough spots from my problem areas that get a lot of tartar! My teeth are also whiter than they’ve been in years. I’m still kind of amazed, because I’m used to LONG sessions, and having to live with sandy areas because that was “The best they could do without the ultrasonic.” I am super grateful to finally have a competent dentist to go to where I feel comfortable, safe, and my concerns and wishes matter. Dr. Alford is easy to talk to and put me right at ease, as did his hygienist. I don’t know if it’s because this is a pediatric specialty office, but the entire staff is naturally kind and considerate. It definitely takes a lot of empathy and patience to work with kids! Whether you’re a nervous adult, or want to ensure your kids are in good hands, I highly recommend Alford Pediatric & General Dentistry for your whole family.

Dr Alford was great - very friendly and put me at ease. He was very informative and answered all my questions.
I would highly recommend this dental practice for your children. We brought my 2.5yr and 3.5yr here for their first dental visit and everything from the front staff to the doctor was perfect. The place is nice for the kids, and a clean environment. The assistant who cleaned their teeth was professional and our kids enjoyed her kindness. The dentist was also very nice and spent lots of time explaining all the details of their care. It was an all around pleasant experience and they will be seeing my children for the foreseeable future. 5-stars for the care, professionalism, and customer service.

All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
