My 9 year old daughter had been to several dentists in the past, but neither of us were happy with them. One was very rude and impatient, and another was very rushed, and barely cleaned her teeth. I decided to take her and her younger brother (age 4) to Dr. Rudnick, and was so pleased. The ntire staff are very nice, and Dr. Rudnick is cheerful and extremely patient with kids. My husband and I got to our appointment late, because we could not find the office, but they still squeezed us in. My daughter was terrified of going to the dentist, because of her prior negative experiences, but she did really well with Dr. Rudnick. We were also pleased with the office. The office has a very nice waiting area with plenty of toys and books for the kids, and it is set up so that parents can see their children as they get their teeth examined and cleaned (helps make the kids less anxious). Overall, I was very happy with the care my kids received, and highly recommend Dr. Rudnick.
