I highly recommend Dr. Greg Rabitz, an incredible pediatric dentist in Willow Glen. He took over the practice from his father and boy, does it run in the family! He's fantastic with the kids and when my boys give me a hard time about brushing their teeth all I have to do is mention Dr. Rabitz and they open wide. They really want to impress him and make him proud. He develops amazing connections with the kids and explains why tooth care is so important and the office is like a kids dream...

Hi A.!
I have just the dentist for you. His name is Dr. Barrera but the kids call him "Dr. B." He's great with my girls, they absolutely LOVE going to see him. A friend turned me on to him about a year ago. He's a pediatric dentist, but her kids who are now teenagers still go to him.

Hi A., my kids have gone to Dr. Wolkstein for years. In fact my daughter who just turned 25 was kicked out because she is getting too old. My son is 21, his time will be shortly. My daughter wants to go back. The whole office is great and really understands and knows how to deal with kids.

Hi Amanada,
I would definitely try Dr. Phil Wolkstein, who practices with his son. He is located on Blossom Hill Rd., close to Oakridge Mall. He is great and everybody I know likes him and his manners. Good luck!

A.,
I would recommend Dr. Philip Wolkstein on Blossom Hill Road. Him and his son work together. His son's name is Gregory Wolkstein. They are great and so is their office staff. It is kid freindly and parent friendly. The office staff that works with billing is very accomodating and understanding if you have to make payments. All three of my son's saw them, my two oldest are adults now and have moved on but really miss them, they have not found dentists they like as much or good cleanings. Good luck. The address is 841 Blossom Hill Road #210 San Jose and the phone number is ###-###-####.

Hi A.,

I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Fisher. My son started seeing 3 weeks be for he turned 3 and absolutely loves him. Two weeks later he had to go back to him because he broke one of his front tooth and had to have it removed. My son didn't feel a thing and he got a letter to the tooth fairy explaining why she had to come so early as well a keepsake box. Now all of my kids see him (18, my now 7 y/o son and my 4 y/o girl). The office staff is welcoming and friendly and his partner is also great.

The only thing is they are off Berryesa in East San Jose. If you won't mind the drive, you'll find that it's worth it. I live off of Blossom and wouldn't trade him for the world.

His number is ###-###-####

Good luck.

Check out Dr. Phillip Wolkstein on Blossom Hill Road. He was recommended by several people and my daughter never complains about going, even though she's had two teeth pulled by him.

My boys have been going to Dr Simon Morris since they were very tiny. They are 10 and 7 now, but really like him very much. He is gentle with the kids and is an excellent dentist. He always takes an interest in them too and everyone there is great. Dr Morris is young and he will be practicing for a while, so it's a good place to start at. My kids never complain about going which says a lot. They have had dental fillings and other work and never had any pain.
He is on Bascom Ave and his number is ###-###-####.

I would recommend Dr. Donna Cotner DDS. She relates well to children and the kids respond to her gentleness and relaxing atmosphere. The office is environmentally conscious, they do not try to up-sell, and I can reach Dr. Cotner on the phone when I have question. I think all these points are important. She is a few minute drive but worth it. Dr Cotner is a family dentist.

The office number is ###-###-####
