South Valley Pediatric Dentistry

After having my daughters at another local office for 6 years I was very hesitant to change but we needed to. I was so happy to come across south valley and after 4 visits now I can hands down say this place is AMAZING. South valley blows everyone out of the water. Seriously they are phenomenal. From the front desk, assistants, Dr. Moody, down to the billing. This place is amazing. I wish I would of found them so long ago. They are so good with my daughters and 3 year old son. I have to shout out Jessica because I just adore her! She helps ease all my nerves as a mother when my kiddos are in the chair. Dr. Moody is phenomenal, I absolutely love that he takes my input as their mother really into account. My 6 year old daughter panics when she gets in that chair and he is so good and so patient with her. Constantly asks me if I think we should stop today and break up the work between a couple visits, or keep it going. The fact that he cares enough to even ask is top notch for me! And just to add, we have never waited more than 10 mins in the waiting room!!
I will recommend this office 100 times over to everyone I know!

Definitely THE best. Our daughter had 8 cavities, and the previous quote we received was very high. We opted to come to South Valley for a second opinion. Not only did they quote us less, but they found a cavity the other dentist had missed. There are a few things I want to point out with my experience. I was impressed with the staff that I worked with for my insurance/check-in (Courtney?) They were fast, they knew what they were doing, and they were very friendly. The facility is amazing. My 6 year old absolutely loved the theme of the building. They had a huge dolphin over the front desk, fish tanks throughout the building (which also helped keep my little girl focused NOT on being at the dentist) We needed to sedate my daughter since she had so many cavities. The dentist (Dr Chamberlain) was really sweet with her, and teased her that it tasted like yucky kool-aid. Then we were lead to a cute little room where we hung out and watched a move on a couch while the medicine kicked in. My little girl was 100% at ease with everything going on. She was so smiley and happy (before and after sedation!) Dr Chamberlain fixed her teeth and then work her up. I guess one of the things I really appreciated was that the dentist & the team took the time to work with me before and afterward to make sure I knew what to do and what to expect as a parent. I was super impressed that they were transparent on how much everything would cost, and it didn't change. The customer service and their treatment of customers was above my expectations. Also, my little girl went home and told her older sister (who is 9) about how cool the dentist is, and that she needs to go. My 9 year old is now begging to go to the dentist, and my 6 year old wants to come with her. How often does THAT happen? Best experience ever.

I went today with my 4 kids, they’re were really patient and attentive with their needs. They are really young and the staff was patient and make them feel comfortable.
We’re definitely coming back

I could not have been more impressed with the care that my son got from Dr. Moody. My son has special needs and Dr. Moody went above and beyond to make sure our concerns were addressed and our son got the gold standard of care. Not only did he spend extra time helping my son feel comfortable in his office, he sat with my husband and I to hear our concerns and hesitations. It is clear that his compassion, patience and dedication to high quality work drive his treatment... right down to a call from him on a Friday night to check in to see how our son was doing after his dental procedure. I was genuinely impressed every step of the way. 5 stars doesn't seem to do this dentist justice... and, I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but this quality of care warrants it.

My 4 year old had oral surgery yesterday. Her appointment was at 2:00pm. When I arrived, I was told that the dentist was running a little behind schedule. I asked how long I would be waiting. I was told possibly 30 minutes. We ended up waiting 2 hours in the lobby. My 4 year old has been fasting all day and was very hungry and sick of waiting. I had to keep asking how much longer it was going to be. I kept getting told 10-15 minutes, but that 10-15 minutes turned into 2 hours. We finally get taken back and had to wait another 30-45 minutes. Nobody came to tell us how long it was going to be. I had to search for an employee to ask how much longer it would be. Finally at 5:00pm, she was taken in for her oral surgery. The surgery took 90 minutes. They brought my daughter to the recovery room at 7:00pm. It has now been 5 hours of being there. I was so upset that I left as soon as I possibly could. I was upset at the Riverwoods Medical Center where she had her surgery. I feel improvement can be made here by keeping patients informed of when they will be seen and taking in consideration of the patient that has been fasting all day and is hungry. I understand emergencies, but I was never told there was an emergency, just that he was behind schedule. Maybe they could have called and rescheduled her or informed us to come in a few hours later. This made me very upset and I felt sad that my daughter kept saying she was hungry. They said she would get a balloon and that never happened. Not that a balloon matters, but I didn’t feel like we were important.

We had to go in with our 2 year old for some cavities and she had to be put under anesthesia and Dr. Hutchings was just amazing! He walked through everything with me as a very nervous mom and made me feel so much better about everything and what they needed to do. Also big shout out to the anesthesiologist Alex Knudsen - he was so attentive and amazing with my little one and so thorough with me about procedures and what they were going to do. I was very pleased with our experience and would recommend them to everyone!!

Dr. Moody is really personable and had better luck looking at our kids teeth than we do. The office is also super firm and engaging for kids with the aquarium and fish theme.

We have always had a great experience here. Every interaction has been very positive. The staff is kind. Dr. Chamberlain is very personable and always makes us feel valued and takes great care of my kids teeth.

This place is amazing! When choosing a dentist for my two boys, everyone I talked to recommended this place to me. Dr. Chamberlain is amazing at explaining everything that's going on in your child's mouth and letting you know all your options. My son ended up doing oral sedation so we could do all the work at once. Once he was out they were super fast, it took maybe an hour for all the work. His teeth look great! Everyone else in this office is super nice. I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone!

Editing to add: I had a child with a swollen upper lip and they got me in to look at it fairly quickly. We saw Dr Bower this time and he is just as amazing as Dr Chamberlain. He got us in the next day to do the work. He said it would be an hour and a half but it only took him about 45 minutes. Every experience that I have with South Valley is awesome.

Love Dr. Chamberlain!!! He’s been our kids’ dentist for 18 years, and he and his staff have always been awesome. Honest, great with kids, and always does a fabulous job. My kids actually like going to the dentist (as long as they don’t have cavities). 😀
