Carr Pediatric Dentistry, Riverview FL

(I am late with this) back in November my daughter had a dental emergency, being new to the area I called a couple of dentists who wanted to charge me an extreme amount just to get her in! By the time I called Carr Dentistry I was close to tears and feeling desperate, they were extremely helpful.got her in within an hour. Having financial troubles and being very apologetic about needing a payment plan, they were more concerned about my daughter. Let’s act now and talk later was the vibe they had. They were more concerned with my daughters treatment and were able to work something that didn’t break the bank for me. She recovered quickly and is back to her happy self. I would recommend this clinic to every parent or guardian.the staff was warm and welcoming and i felt that i could trust them! Thank you!

I am so disappointed in this clinic. We were very happy the first time we went and we decided to sign up for their membership (because apparently it’s discounted) We called to cancel the membership because we are moving out of state. This is a life event that they don’t care about. And they don’t want to work with us cancelling our membership. We lost so much money by going there. We called 2 days ago about it and they said they will call us back. They never called back and then at 6: 30 am we received a text message saying that it is not refundable. Not even a callback! This is beyond unprofessional and they can’t even work with their client. I very enjoyed Dr Carr but this ruins it all for us. It is a lot a money for us and they don’t care about it. Obviously they don’t care about us. I understand the non refundable part. But this should be a qualifying life event for a refund. And btw, they don’t tell you when you sign up but “in the contract” so they can’t help you.

I absolutely love this dentist office. All of staff is super courteous and professional! My daughter loves coming to the dentist because Dr. CARR makes sure every visit personable. Shout out to Christian for walking me and my kids to the car with umbrellas when it was raining. They staff goes above and beyond! Best Pediatric Dentist in the Tampa area hands down!

Love this place! Today was my daughter's last visit because of age, but she had been going there since 2013. Staff was always friendly and Dr. Carr is amazing! She takes the time to explain about my child's care and treatment and is so personal. Danielle is also so very sweet and personable with my daughter. The woman who checks us out upon completion is also amazing. Both of these ladies have been there as long as my daughter has been going, which also says a lot about the business- they keep their staff! Also want to relay I do get feed back from my daughter about how they treat her in the back without parents and it's always a positive response. Thanks again for all you guys did for my daughter over the years and for the community!

The most amazing dentist office from the moment you enter the door. My grandson was visibly nervous and scared when we were checking in. The staff at the counter immediately tried to help make him feel more comfortable. They fully explained every detail of what was available to help him feel calm and what procedure he was going to have. He was having a tough time at first so they brought in a therapy dog to see if it would help. It worked! Because of Dr. Carr and Danielle's patience and with Buddy by his side he made it through the procedure calmly without any sedation needed! They took me back three times so that I could see how he was doing and to provide me with updates. When they were done he asked me when he was coming back. After I told him when he said he wanted to come back next week so that he could see Buddy. So we may have to stop by for just a few moments to say hello to Buddy. Dr. Carr and team thank you for being such an amazing team that really cares about their patience and family.

Amazing Experience! The staffs and the doctors were nice and super friendly. Kids loved this place. Highly recommend this place.

We gave it three tries here. The first time they overcharged us and didn’t communicate pricing before performing cleanings. The second time we waited an hour and a half-my 4 year old and 1 year old were hungry and exhausted after waiting in a busy waiting room for way too long. The third time we had a new insurance and they asked me to call my insurance while in their waiting room after already waiting for 45 minutes. They said they couldn’t help me unless I called otherwise I’d have to pay out of pocket. I tried to call and waited on hold then decided to leave. Finding a new dentist for my little boys. This place is NOT WORTH IT. Extremely frustrating experiences all 3 times we have been here. Do your self and child a favor and DO NOT GO HERE.

PLEASE FIND SOMEONE ELSE! OR AT LEAST GET A 2ND OPINION. My 6 year old daughter liked her previous dentist and went in for routine cleanings. She never feared going (And I was there with her the whole time). After Dr. Carr worked on her for 2 hours (after being asked not to) and ridiculed her for crying and complaining of being in pain, it took years for her to get over her fear of the dentist.

DETAILS: I was told in my initial visit my daughter would need a lot of work done on her teeth. That was a bit shocking because her previous dentist never mentioned that amount of work and even advised my daughters enamel didn’t fully develop on both of her molars. Dr. Carr told me flat out that was a lie and that they were cavities due to sugar. During our consultation I made it clear that much work could not be done in one day on my child. She said she’d charge me extra for a 2nd visit which I had no problem with.
I WISH I WOULD HAVE GONE FOR A 2ND OPINION!

On the day of my daughters appt I realized she had been in the back for over an hour. I began to worry so I inquired about her visit and asked for an update.
They let me peek through the door- my daughter was alone but “seemed” calm. They assured me they were finishing up.
After a 2 hour appointment and another inquiry my daughter came out looking visibly shaken and teary eyed. She said she cried the whole time and screamed for her mom and they told her if she kept crying she wouldn’t be able to see me for even longer. That’s why she was still when I saw her from behind. They were mean to her and didn’t console her and never came to get me. The part that hurt the most was when Dr. Care told me THEY MADE AN EXECUTIVE DECISION TO DO ALL THE DENTAL WORK IN ONE SITTING AND THATS WHY IT TOOK 2 HOURS. I was shocked a dentist would work on a 6 year old for 2 hours after being told absolutely not.

Our new dentist fixed some of the errors that were made and causing pain. It’s been 4 years and my daughter has NEVER needed the amount of work Dr. Carr suggested and executed. She still talks about how traumatizing that experience was to this day.

Amazing experience! I was nervous about taking my child to a dentist that did not allow us to be with them during the treatment, but after taking the tour of the office and meeting absolutely everyone (it was part of the tour) I felt safe to have them go back. Everyone was friendly and great with the kids. The doctor was so patient in explaining everything and explained in common terms not doctor lingo.

Dr Carr and their entire team is incredible… I genuinely felt like everyone at the office went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and my son. Special shout out to Jordan who really helped take our experience to the next level. I came here for a second opinion and couldn’t be happier that I found our new dentist

Dr. Carr, Dr. Carter and the Carr Dentistry team are amazing. We switched to this dentist office and our experience was exceptional. My 5 year old had to get a lot of work done and they made him feel very comfortable. Thanks again Carr Dentistry.

This place is terrible. When I went there you couldn’t have a parent even near the room and couldn’t take your phone back there to entertain yourself for the 3 hours you get stuck back there. They don’t let you have your phone so you can’t take pictures of what they do to the children. Parents obviously to protect there children and other would also tell about this business. Please please please for the comfort and safety of your children stay away and don’t go here

As a wife of a general dentist I had high expectations for my daughter's (at 18 months old) first dental experience. Dr. Carr and her staff exceeded those expectations! My daughter was happy and cooperative during her visit because the staff was gentle and friendly. I can't wait for my daughter to cultivate a great relationship with this office that can only result in a lifetime of superior dental health.

100% satisfied with Dr. Carr and her entire staff. The staff makes you feel at peace as soon as you enter into the lobby with their natural happiness. These ladies at the front desk were on point when it came to getting my two boys in and out all with the highest quality of care. This was our second visit and have absolutely zero intentions of going anywhere else. I will be bringing my young boys back to Dr. Carr and her staff for years to come!

I love Dr Carr, but I don’t give her 5 stars because the last 2 visit the wait time has been absurd. Today was more than 40 min in the car waiting for my child to be call inn, I understand that the protocols are different and more difficult because of covid, but this is the second time we had have to wait so long. Other than that, the staff and doctors are wonderful.

I took my 11 month old daughter for her very first dental visit this week. From my first step through the door, the staff was friendly and helpful. Jordan was great at explaining the dental visit and what to expect and she gave some great tips on how to make it easier to brush the teeth of a child who is very resistant. We saw Dr. Carter and she was simply amazing! We couldn’t ask for a better first visit and can’t wait to go back in 6 months!
