Dr. P. is a great dentist with a very good manner with small kids. He gave us excellent advice at our first visit and our son is now 6 and has had nothing but perfect check-ups ever since. Our son actually enjoys getting to see Dr. P.

Dr. P is the best pediatric dentist out there! We love him and his staff so much I would be willing to pay 100% of my childrens dental costs to keep them as patients of Dr. P if Dr. P was not in my provider network. The office is super clean, the staff and Dr. P are so inviting and pleasant. My kids love the glasses they get to wear and the toys they get to tinker with while they wait. Oh how could I forget the«pictures» they get to have taken of their teeth. My middle child still talks about getting more pictures taken of his teeth. I can honestly say my kids get excited when I tell them we get to go visit Dr. P. My oldest son had a lot of work, caps and all at a very young age. I was so pleased with how the assistants and Dr. P managed to calm him and gently restrain him while the procedures were completed. I much prefer this to the other pediatric dentists that are so ready to sedate them or gas them up. Truly a wonderful practice here ran by genuine, caring and skilled individuals. Dr. P and his staff are not just a dental office to us they are an extension of our family!

Dr. P is an amazing children’s dentist! He knows how to work with kids and has the patience and understand needed get nervous kids calm and to relax in the chair. I have a daughter who has gone through 2 other dentists who didn’t take the time to ease her fears about going to the dentist. In two visits Dr. P has been able to do a full exam and cleaning on her by taking the extra effort in his calm, understanding and gentle way. Amazing dentist and a great practice. I would highly recommend Dr. P!

We as a family think Dr. P is fantastic! The perfect idea of a dentist for children is Dr. Putman. He speaks to children so they listen and understand. He is friendly. Kind. And addresses any and all concerns you could think of. I’m thankful for his gentle work.

Dr. Putman rocks! A great pediatric dentist who the kids love. He doesn’t have fancy ceiling mounted LCDs or anything like that, but does have a comfortable friendly atmosphere. The best thing about him is that he doesn’t default to nitrous oxide, valium, and other drugs for nervous kids, but rather takes a more psychological approach(one that works) to calming them down by explaining what’s happening and being very kind and gentle. Of course if that doesn’t work there’s always backup, but it’s gratifying to see that approach tried first.
