San Leandro Pediatric Dentistry (San Leandro, CA)
August 2010
I'm thinking of switching my daughters dentist. But, she has Healthy Families
and our choices are limited...
Her current dentist in Oakland is just sort of lack luster and doesn't really
seem
to know how to relate to kids. For the last two hygiene appointments, we spent
longer sitting in the waiting room, than the cleanings took.
So, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience (good or bad) with the
dentists over at San Leandro Pediatric Dentistry. I'm especially curious about
either Dr. Hipolito or Dr. Hosseini?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Andrea,
I've taken my son to San Leandro Pediatrics for a year now
and so far, we've had a good experience. We've had minimal
wait times and the staff are very helpful, even with my
fidgety five year old. Dr. Hipolito takes his time with the
children and includes them throughout the process. With that
said, I would definitely recommend the practice.
One Happy Momma!

There is nothing current in the archives on pediatric dentists
in San Leandro. Does anyone have a recommendation? I'm
particularly interested in someone who can work with kids that
might not be very comfortable with others working on their
teeth or in their mouth. Thanks
After a bad experience at a ped dentist in Oakland (didn't let
parents in the room with kids!), I took my 2 yr old son to see
Dr Joseph Smith in San Leandro. He was WONDERFUL! He and I sat
knee-to-knee, and my son laid across my lap with just his head
in Dr Smith's lap for a gentle exam. We haven't had any major
work done, so I can't speak specifically to that, but Dr Smith
has a lovely, kid-friendly demeanor (he visits at least one pre-
school every year to teach the kids about teeth/dental hygiene)
and he seems responsive to parents' needs/anxieties, etc. His
office is located at 441 Joaquin Ave.510-352-2632
Good luck -
