Richard Keilson, DDS

Dr. Keilson is awesome. He has a very calming presence and explains everything very clearly. He doesn’t try to sell you on things that aren’t needed. If he would let me, I would sit in that open room with 8 or so dental chairs with all the kids/​teenagers just so he could do my dental work! I’ll say it again… He is AWESOME!
The facilities are nice and clean but nothing fancy. There are toys in the waiting room, but I’ve never had to wait there more than a few minutes. His staff is friendly too. I would have to move a significant distance away to stop bringing my two girls there!
If you read this, Dr. Keilson… thanks so much for being so great at what you do!

Probably one of the best Pediatric Dentist around. Dr. Keilson has a warm friendly manner about him which makes the children comfortable. If the child is unhappy with the situation he will usually say «Well we don’t have to do it this time, but maybe next time… ok?». My shy daughter opens up and talks to him, he’s just great with kids. I think you will not be disappointed with Dr. Keilson.

Dr. Keilson and his staff are the best! They truly did a wonderful job at making my nervous 3-​year-​old feel comfortable and special. Like most kids, she has an aversion to doctors, dentists, etc. At the beginning of her first appointment there, she was literally quivering with fear. By the end, she was happy and proud of herself for making it through the visit. Dr. K actually got her to laugh a few times too. His casual dress and kind demeanor makes him likable and approachable.
The first check up was just an introduction to the dentist office and staff. Dr. K assessed her teeth by asking her to let him count them. She went to two more visits (a cleaning and an introduction to the dental instruments) before Dr. K fixed her cavity. This approach of getting her comfortable and trusting worked immensely. By the time she got her cavity fixed, she wasn’t worried or scared at all. Dr. K even called us that evening to check on how she was doing.
Dr. K and staff get our highest recommendation.

Dr. Keilson is 5 star however I had to go with 4 stars due to his staff. My girls have been patients for 5 years and with every visit it doesn’t get any better. They have never been rude-​just nothing special. Office is clean but if your looking for bells and whistles your not going to find it here. In the end I would rather have a great dentist anyway”!

Went to Dr. Keilson for the first time about a week ago. The front office staff was efficient, prompt, and friendly. I did have one minor gripe which is that when we made our appointment, the staff did not allow me to check if my kids’ visit would be covered until the day of the appointment. Not wanting to show up and then be turned away, I called just prior to my appointment. They checked at that time and assured me that it would be completely covered.
The examination room is one large room where the kids can see the other kids. This is a great idea as then the kids can see that other kids behave just fine at the dentist. The bad is that your business is everyone else’s business. The kids are given stuffed animals with teeth and a large toothbrush so they can «practice brushing teeth».
Dr. Keilson is fantastic. We brought one of our 3 kids here but he essentially gave me education on how to care for all of our children’s’ teeth. Very informative and very knowledgable without being condescending. I think he actually cares (on a global public health level) about the health of children’s’ teeth. He was very gentle with our 3 year old (first visit) and told me that at the next visit, if the kid cooperates, we can try to get X rays.
Excellent and highly recommended.

I was referred to this office after I had a nightmare experience at another office. All I can say is that I went from the worst to the BEST! Dr. Keilson and his staff are so gentle with the kids. They talk to them on their level. They never condescend or make the parents feel inferior like some dentists do.
My son had loads of «necessary» dental work prescribed by another dentist who was clearly just trying to make a buck. Dr. Keilson told me that he felt none of it was necessary. He has a wait-​and-​see approach and won’t do anything unless it is really called for.

This a great office for kids. Others may say «kid» friendly, this is truls kid-​friendly”. Friendly staff, lots of toys, nice doctor. I wish I could come here.
