Hi!
My family and I are new to the Okemos area and are looking fo a great Pediatric Dentist! Seems like there are not too many in the area! Would also be interested in a wonderful family dentist if a Pediatric Dentist is not an option! Thanks so much!

What can I do next?

Dr. Vuchetich is a wonderful dentist. I've been going to him since I was 13-14 and now my kids go to him and they love him. He's on the corner of Lake Lansing and Abbott Rds. in East Lansing.

I take my 3yr old and 5yr old to Dr. Eric Eby (Eby Dental Care). His office is right on Okemos Road. He and his staff are wonderful. He isn't specifically a Pediatric Dentist, but he is great with kids. My daughter actually gets upset if I go to the dentist without her! (he is my dentist, too).
Last year she needed a filling. I was was pretty worried about how she would do, and it did take 2 visits before she settled down enough for them to do the procedure, but they were so patient that it wasn't traumatic for her (or me!) at all. She never even said ouch!
Dr. Eby has young kids of his own, so I think that helps him relate to little ones. Best wishes!

Our family has been going to Dr. Hinterman for over ten years and love him! He is wonderful and has four kids of his own. Our kids have seen him since their first visit as toddlers and now we even have one in braces (he does all that too). His office is near the Frandor shopping center. His info is:

The pediatric dentist that I use is located in the St. John Medical Center Building in Detroit. Sorry...I do not know of any good pediatric dentists in Okemos.

Hi!

Although my dentist is clear over in Lansing (near Pennsylvania and MLK), I LOVE her. Her name is Kelly Johnson. She is WONDERFUL with kids, as is her partner who just joined the practice. I've considered changing to someone closer to Okemos, but like you said, there are a ton and I have not heard anything fantastic about anyone here. I know that Dr. Johnson has cut her hours to spend more time with her kids, but still works a few days a week...and her partner did a great job with my 3 year old last time we went in. They have a great play room too...so when you go in for something you can bring your kids and they can play. Very nice office staff and hygenists, too! I guess I feel like since I don't have to go over there that often, it isn't such a big deal to travel 20 minutes to get there.

Anyway, let me know if you want to check them out.

My children go to Dr. Klein---they just love it. His hyg. are so good with the children. The office makes the children really comfortable it has a huge railroad that goes through all the rooms and the he has tv's up so when they are getting their teeth cleaned they get to pick something to watch, a huge fish tank, and much more.

My girlfriend who lives in Haslett takes her kids to see Dr. Morrow. There are actually 2 dentists named Dr. Morrow in that practice. I believe they are a husband and wife team. One is an adult dentist, the other specializes in pediatric dentistry. Not sure which one is which. Drs. Donald & Melissa Morrow 5685 Babbitt Rd. Haslett ###-###-#### or ###-###-####. Hope that helps.
