I can’t say enough about Dr. Joseph & his team. My 4 year old had a good bit of dental work needing done. At the pre-op consultation Dr Joseph heard a heart murmur that we were not aware of. We were able to get my daughter to a cardiologist immediately & make sure that her heart was okay. After being cleared for surgery- Dr. Joseph was on top of everything & made us feel 100% confident she would be okay for surgery. During the time frame of trying to get the clearance, she developed some tooth pain & a cracked tooth & the team worked effortlessly to get her in within the week for her surgery. I tal...

I wish I could video tape the whole process of getting our daughter’s teeth fixed the day of the surgery. It was very smooth and everyone was very KIND and HUMANE to us all. From receptionist to the surgeon , everyone was respectful.

We had a wonderful experience with Dr Joseph’s team to have my 5 year old girl’ teeth treatment done under general anesthesia. Ms Liz helped a lot with arrangements coordinations and answering general questions. Dr Joseph answered any medical questions and concerns we had before the appointment was scheduled and explained clearly on what he would do during the procedures. Both Liz and Dr Joseph responded me via text even during non working hours. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

We were treated with class and compassion. The staff that registered us were very very helpful. Everything was done virtually, with no wait time. My two daughters were seen within 2 weeks . This is by far the best pediatric dental sedation. The doctors and anesthesiologists were very professional. Highly recommend pediatric dentistry asleep for any parents looking for a children sedation dentist.

Dr Joseph took his time to explain everything they were going to do for my daughter during her procedure. All of the staff was very professional and informative.
