Desert Valley Pediatrics

hi J., my name is S. and i take my kids to desert valley peds. i love dr. speikerman. he is so nice and knowledgeable. we just move down here from flagstaff and i really missed my ped office and he made it a better experience. i am also a dental assistant and we use to recommend taking kids around 2 years old. all there teeth should be in by then. now i have not taken my 2.5 yo because one- he doesn't have all his teeth yet and two- i am not sure he is ready but i would like him to go. if you want a good ped dentist dr. libby (she has a commercial on pbs so you can see her picture) my friend took her daughter to dr. libby and she said only good things. i hope this is helpful.

Dr. Rudy Serino is the only Doctor at the Surprise location and he is wonderful! He is great with the kids and really takes the time with each patient. I have never felt rushed there and have always be very pleased with our experiences there. As for a pediatric dentist, they recommend taking them as soon as they start getting teeth, so they can watch for any problems. We took our youngest for the first time around age 1. There is an awesome pediatric dentist right next door to Desert Valley Pediatrics in Surprise called West Valley Pediatic Dentristry. They have TV's for the kids to watch while they are getting their teeth cleaned and video games in the waiting area. Our daughter had to have some extensive dental work done on her teeth (she's 4) and they were awesome. I highly recommend Dr. Brownstein, he's great.

I have used DVP for 5 years now. I have no complaints. I recommend Dr. Speikerman but he is really hard to get into because everyone wants him. As far as a dentist goes, I was told my the dentist I use for my kids to start bringing them as soon as they are a year old. I used Perfect Teeth at 107th ave and Olive. Dr Kerr is great!

I am not sure about the pediatrics, but I know that you should take you son to the dentist as soon as he has his teeth in. My son's baby teeth rotted quickly from juice boxes and milk.

My son attends the 107th Ave location and he sees either Dr. Lisa Ring or Dr. Myopa (she is from India). They are great. I'm satisfied each time I go there. As far as the dentist my son does not have any teeth yet, he is only 8 months.
