Affiliated Children's Dental Specialists

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. MacLean and her team. They are the most friendly, accommodating, skilled group of dental specialists. Both my children see Dr. MacLean and have seen the benefits of the Silver Diamine Flouride treatment she uses. They take the time to ensure both my child and I understand the treatment options/ plan for every treatment need and always spend time reinforcing with my kids the importance of brushing and flossing every day! We began seeing Dr. MacLean about a year ago following a difficult billing and insurance situation with another pediatric dentist office here in the valley and the transition of care has been incredible! Every visit I am impressed with the passion Dr. MacLean has for her work and her patients. She's absolutely amazing! I have recommended and will continue to recommend her and the team at Affiliated Children's Dental Specialists to anyone looking for a truly caring pediatric dentist in Arizona.

Dr. MacLean is a phenominal dentist. She absolutely cares about my child, and not just her teeth. Their office is fun, and the staff is kind as well. Her use of SDF helped my child avoid traumatic and dangerous experiences, and her explanation of why my child's teeth are at a higher risk (thin enamel, genetic), helped me to understand her treatment recommendations. This really made all the difference for us. I am glad we have never had to sedate my child. Her adult teeth are coming in healthy, and I have everything I need to keep her teeth looking and feeling great. Thanks Dr. MacLean and staff!

Amazing staff and top-notch care! I have been taking my twin boys to Dr. MacLean for 7 years and the LOVE going to see her. The whole staff takes time to make their dental visits fun and educational for all. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Affiliated Children's Dental is a fantastic place to take children. I have children that have fear issues and need a lot of work done. They go above and beyond to help children overcome their fears and that is exactly what they did for my son. He now has no anxiety when going to the dentist, due to the genuinely caring staff at that office. My daughter has had to have lots of dental work done and they patiently assisted us through the process of what we needed to do. They are a FANTASTIC dental office and I would recommend their services to everyone.

I was recently in the office with my 7 year old grandson. Dr.Maclan extracted a tooth, she was so patient and gental with him. The front office ladies Anne Marie and Jeri were very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend Affiliated Children's to anyone needing compassionate dental care for their babies. I love this place won't go anywhere else.😁

I have to say, hands down, the BEST experience I could have for my children and nieces and nephews. The staff is caring, thorough, and highly trained. The dentists CARE for the whole child. They offer minimally invasive approaches and referrals to specialists if needed to give each child the best treatment. It says a lot when it’s always the same faces year after year!

We've been seeing Dr MacLean for nearly 4 years now and absolutely love her and the entire staff there. During our most recent check-up, I mentioned that I've always had a hard time getting my 6 year old to cooperate with flossing. Yvette took extra time to not only talk to him about how important it is, but she used a special dye to show the plaque in between his teeth, and then carefully and kindly showed him how to floss between each tooth until all the yucky dye was gone. I really appreciated her approach with him, it was so helpful for him to clearly visualize how flossing cleans his teeth and he FINALLY does it now at home. Unfortunately since he'd gone so long without doing it well (or letting me do it) he did have a few cavities that needed to be filled. Dr MacLean showed me his x-rays and explained exactly what needed to be done, and also recommended using an oral sedative to make sure it would be done as safely as possible. Of course I was a bit nervous about that part of it, but they walked me through each of the steps and I felt totally comfortable with the process. And I'm so happy we did it, because what could have been a stressful, traumatic experience for him was 100% easy and painless. Dr MacLean also went above and beyond, and called me later that afternoon to check on him and make sure he was doing well, and made sure I had all of my questions answered.

During our visits I always feel well informed and involved in my children's dental care. Not to mention their staff is so knowledgeable and organized with insurance paperwork, so I have never had surprise charges or bills in the mail weeks later. I can honestly say my kids look forward to their bi-annual visits—they love hanging out in the waiting room, and get to watch good movies and pick prizes! I'm so grateful that their early dental experiences have been fun, comfortable, and stress-free. I highly, highly recommend this practice!

My 2 and 4 year old are patients at ACDS. They've always received excellent care. The office is clean, the staff is friendly, and they almost always run on time. Both kids have been going regularly since their 1st birthday (like our pediatrician recommended), so they are both now very comfortable with the office (which is decked out in a movie theme with video games, play areas, etc.). They've seen both Dr. Mandy Daitch and Dr. Jeanette MacLean. Both doctors are very knowledgeable and kind, and they are both moms, so I feel they are very patient and understanding with my kids. The staff is amazing - scheduling, billing, assistants - all very helpful and friendly (wish I could say the same about my own doctor's office). One in particular, Yvette, goes above and beyond! My son used to be scared of doctor's visits, until she took a good deal of time going over each tool that they were going to use and what it did. They let him sit on my lap for everything, he got to wear some cool sunglasses, they gave him a mirror so he could see what the hygienist and dentist were doing, and he didn't cry! He was fine during the entire exam and polishing. After the exam (no cavities!), they gave him a sticker and a token for a prize, he was so proud of himself! I couldn't ask for a better experience for my kids. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr. MacLean and her staff were amazing!! My son has been going there since he was a baby and he screamed every time they worked on him til he was 4 years old, yet they never seemed tense or put off by it. They actually put me at ease by saying it was ok and normal for his age and helped me prepare my children with positive dialog to prepare for the next appointment! He is 7 now and looks forward to seeing the dentist :)
The girls in the office are so warm and friendly....and best of all CALMING.....I only wish they worked on adults too, lol!

After another pediatric dentist told me that my young children had multiple cavities (with no prior cavities), I went to Dr. MacLean for a second opinion. Dr. MacLean confirmed that both of my kids had NO cavities. She even reviewed the x-rays from the other provider. Taking my kids to the dentist is now a pleasure. I drive past a lot of dentists on my way to see Dr. MacLean, but the extra drive is worth every minute to have a good pediatric dentist I can trust. Thank you Dr. MacLean for saving my family a lot of tears and money for unnecessary dental work.
