Gale Ranch Pediatric Dental Group

We have been taking our 9 and 6 year old daughters here for about 2 years and the staff is amazing with children. Dr Amy and hygienist Gabriella are incredibly patient with our kids. One of my daughters has major anxiety around coming to the dentist and the team at Gale Ranch Pediatric are always super accommodating. The office is also always clean and they have all the latest dentisty equipment. I highly recommend!

My two kids (4yr old and 2yr old) recently had their regular clean and dental check-​up with Dr. Santiago.
I found this place from shopping at Safeway, which is in the same plaza. I am so glad that I brought my two kids here. They had a wonderful time during their visit. I never had my kids pay so much attention to every detail of their daily dental care routine until we came to this place.
I like the idea of making a pediatric dental clinic very welcoming for kids. Aside from the child-​friendly setup, I really admired the professionalism and expertise that the staff had in all aspect of my kids dental visit and procedures.
I am so glad that we found this wonderful place for my kids.

After 3 dental offices, we finally found a great pediatric dental group for our kids! Our daughter has always been very hesitant and fearful of going to the dentist, but the staff and doctors know just how to handle this issue! The kids love the fun and playful environment! I know my kids are in good hands… Thank you!!!

We have been coming to Gail Ranch Pediatrics dental office for several years now and our 3^rd child, 18-​month Emma, is their newest patient. Our two other kids are 7 and 5-​years old.
With each visit the staff always greets our kids by their name and actually spend a few moments speaking to them. I can see that our kids really do appreciate this acknowledgment as it makes them feel recognized. Our middle child Niko can really talk it up with the staff and they always spend the time listening to his stories and what’s going on in his world, which makes him feel heard and acknowledged, an important part of keeping his confidence high.
We once had a dental emergency with our oldest child Maya and when we called they told us to come right in. Once we arrived they treated the emergency like it was a top priority. They also were wonderful at making Maya feel comfortable in her time of distress.
They are great at discussing treatment plans and options with parents will spend the extra time answering questions /​concerns.
They have such a beautiful atmosphere that is very kid friendly. Imagine creating such an environment where kids not only look forward to going to the dentist, but also don’t want to leave! This place has accomplished that!
They even have a monthly reading club where the tooth fairy rewards kids who read at least 10 books a month. Our kids absolutely love this reading program as they are rewarded with a $ 10 gift card to a local book store where we allow them to pick a new book. As parents we love it because we see our kids excited to read their newly purchasd books.
For being a dental office, they have taking the fear out of seeing a dentist down to a science! I remember never looking forward to seeing my dentist when I was a kid; to see our kids actually look forward to going to the dentist is simply remarkable!

Went here the other say for my 3 year olds first dentist visit and it was great! The lobby is very cute with s bunch of activities for kids. The hygienist and dentist were awesome and so great with kids. He also got a bunch of freebies. I think when we left, he had 3 new tooth brushes in his bag. They accept delta dental and that was the main reason why I picked this place. Overall a great experience!

The doctor and nurses is very nice and professional. The decoration of the waiting area is very useful and fun for kids. My kids love there.

We continue to love Gale Ranch and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great dental place for your kids. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and sweet. My girls look forward to visiting the dentist!!! =)

I never would have expected my twins would love the dentist, but they do! The staff here is amazing! Highly recommend!

My daughter had to have her 1^st ever cavity filled and was very apprehensive since having a procedure done on an engrown toenail recently. I love how the whole staff at Gale Ranch Pediatric Dental Group assured me and her that everything was going to be ok. When she was done she had no adverse effects.
Dr. Santiago is the best and always make my 2 kids (12 & 10) feel comfortable.

I’ve been taking my kids here for the past couple years. They were nervous as any child would be going into see the dentist but the staff made them feel comfortable. They seem to really care about the patient and are not pushy to get any work done.
The staff is really friendly and I love how the ladies at the front desk remember me and the kids even when we only visit twice a year.

My kids were scared of going to the dentist’s office and Dr. Santiago together with her wonderful staff made the whole visit really enjoyable. Jackie especially, IMO, is the best caring nurse ever. My younger kid never allowed anyone other than us to get close to her but Jackie not only got friendly with her quickly but also completed the whole checkup AND the cleaning without any issue. She was amazing.
Starting from the appointment making to check-​ins to visit till we left the office, every time the staff was amazing. I think this is THE BEST place for kids.
I think this is a hidden gem in this area. Thank you, thank you and thank you for the great service !!

I can only say that this team is wonderful! They were great with my 12 year old son and he doesn’t fear the dentist as he used to. While waiting for him during his last visit I was able to observe the staff and they are just great with all kids. They are patient and they’re great with babies to teens. They don’t keep you waiting and are very informative as to what insurance will cover etc.

I was super impressed with this dental office. The place was decorated very nicely but more importantly the customer service was superb! Super nice, informative, and patient with my little one, Addy. I highly recommend this dental office for all children. Staff is amazing here! They also explained to my daughter the procedures in a very creative manner so that she would understand. Genius!

–5 star service all the way!
–This is the cutest dentist office I’ve been too. It’s a Disney beach themed office. Its very clean. Everyone here is very friendly. Dr Santiago is very nice. The assistant made my son’s first visit at one year old super smooth – she reminds me of those princess entertainers at kids parties. Lol that’s probably her other job beacuse she’s just too good at it. My son used to fight us off Everytime we brushed his teeth, but after his visit here and we told him to pretend he’s at the dentist’s he loved brushing his teeth! He loves pretending to be a patient at the dental office. That goes to show that they made a good impression on him.
–They took a picture of my son at his first visit and mailed the photo to us in a a cardboard frame. Also, he gets to choose a souvenir from their treasure chest at the end of every visit.

My son has had Dr. Margaret Santiago as his dentist for a while now and I am very please with the care he has received. I highly recommend Gale Ranch Dental Pediatric!

This is by far the best pediatric dental office around. Not only do they do everything to help make you’re child feel at ease and comfortable but they are super friendly and caring. My little one loves going to the dentist and enjoys being part of the «no cavity club»!

We love this place. The staff, the hygienists and the assistants are SO nice to my young daughter. The facility is so cute and this helps put young children at ease. The entire team is so good with children.
They have never pushed us for any additional dental work. They had a watch on a tooth. I liked this because I want to make sure the filling would be required before I put my young child through the pain and scariness of putting a filling in her baby tooth. We take extra care in brushing that tooth and it’s ok now. So I was happy about the situation.

Very kids friendly. Wish I have this place when I was a kid!

The dentists and staff here are great with kids and very friendly. That’s always great for the kids. Very clean offices and décor makes kids want to return back.
The reason for the 3 star is because I felt that the dentist immediately recommended a filling for a cavity without monitoring or any alternative methods to prevent growth. Coincidentally on the same day, another set of parents were being told to fill their child’s cavity immediately as well. The sales «push» turned me off.

My 2yo had his first dentist visit here. He was very apprehensive when we arrived, but everyone was so warm and friendly and helped him settle in. The staff is wonderful, and Dr. Santiago is the best! She is so gentle and great with kids. But what I appreciated the most is the time that they took to introduce my son to all of the equipment so that he would feel more comfortable and not be so scared. He met Mr. Thirsty, the tickle brush, and their friends, and he went for a ride on the magic chair.
By the end of our visit, my son wasn’t begging to stay, but he sat very still through the entire exam, cleaning, and fluoride treatment. Not bad for a crazy 24 month old! I never thought it could happen, but the folks at Gale Ranch Dental were really fantastic.
