Maribel Santos-Cordero DMD

I have been a patient of Dr. Santos since I was 3, I am 19 now. Yesterday was my last appointment with her and I was very sad to let go. I was extremely nervous about going to the dentist as a child, but Dr Santos and her staff changed my view completely as I got older. Dr Santos and her staff always made me feel so calm, comfortable, and welcomed in the office. I’ve been with Dr. Santos for many years, not only has she made an impact on my teeth, but also on my life. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their experience at the dentist to be calm and unintimidating. Thank you for everything Dr. Santos!

Today was our kids’ first dental appointment and we are more than happy with the care and attention we received from Dr. Santos Cordero and her staff.

They were very kind and patient with both of our babies. They were able to do a complete evaluation and dental cleaning even when one of our kids is very active. To me that was impressive! They are also very punctual, something I appreciate a lot since I have 2 kids.

The office is very clean, updated and the staff knows how to keep the children relax and entertained while doing the dental work. Our daughter learned a lot on her dental appointment as well. The staff took the time to explain to her everything they were doing which kept her from becoming anxious about the appointment.

At the end of the visit the dental hygienist gave our daughter a Frozen toothbrush and a prize for doing very good, my daughter was super happy. Our son (21 months) even got rewarded with a cute toothbrush and a ball for him to stay distracted and happy.

When we got back home our daughter asked us if we could go the next day to see the dentist 🦷. That tells me she felt comfortable, she likes her dentist and it is not afraid of going back again.

Both my husband and I feel we can really trust Dr. Santos Cordero and her staff with the dental care of our 2 babies. They are honest and kind. We have already scheduled our kids next appointment with them.

Dr. Santos is the best pediatric dentist we have come across.
She has the most compassionate, gentle, caring personality and knows how to make a young patient comfortable!
We have visited 2 other pediatric dentists before we found Dr. Santos. And let me tell you, both places were a bad experience for my son.
He was very scared to come in at first because of those two other places we visited. I had to carry him in even though he is a tall 7 years old, he was as nervous.
First of all, I (the parent) was allowed to come in with my child and stay during the procedure. The doctor then explained what is going to happen and truly listened to our questions and preferences. She gave us thoughtful suggestions to accommodate our needs in a compassionate manner.
Secondly, my son could watch TV with head phones on during his dental procedures.
I have to emphasize her assistant, Ms Claudia, is as gentle, caring and professional as the doctor.
My son told me that even the X-ray was not as uncomfortable as at the other 2 dentists we visited.
Now he doesn’t want me to walk him to the X-ray room any more.
My son walks in the office with confidence because he knows they care about how he feels. And there’s nothing more important to a parent and child.
They definitely exceeded our expectations!

We are so thankful for Dr. Santos. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the well-being of her patients. She fit us in last minute for a tongue tie and diagnosed an upper lip and double cheeked tie also. She was able to do surgery that day and personally called us a few days later to make sure everything was going well. We went from having a baby who couldn’t latch at all to a baby who won’t unlatch unless he is done! Her office staff is also extremely wonderful. We are so grateful for Dr. Santos. We highly recommend her and will definitely be back.

I went to see Dr. Santos to get a second opinion on my son’s suspected tongue tie. She was very compassionate and informative about tongue ties before examining my son. After examination, and it was determined he did have a tongue tie, she explained the pros and cons to getting it released so we could make an informed decision. After getting it released, which we were able to do same day, she asked that we came back several times over the following weeks so she could check his progress and show me how to do the tongue exercises properly, which I appreciated because I wanted to make sure his revision was successful. Dr. Santos also reached out personally via text to check on my son which I thought was very sweet. I’m very thankful we found Dr. Santos. In addition to her expertise, her staff was incredibly friendly and every appointment was very timely!
