Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

First Visit
My son is a toddler and not an easy patient. This was his first dental visit. The entire staff at Valley Smiles were kind, patient, and reassuring. Many thanks to our rockstar hygienist, Mallory, & Dr. Caldera!!! You're amazing!!!

Kind, thorough and informative
Explained everything she was seeing as well as options. Grateful she wanted to approach a large and intense cavity without anesthesia first as the other pediatric dentist we had seen felt it necessary to do under anesthesia. Very kind, the dental assistant and other staff were very kind.

The best practice. We all love it
If you and your children want to be happy to go to the dentist and feel better after going then this is your place!! We tried a few other pediatric dentists before finally finding the right place. Dr. Caldera and staff are all super positive, upbeat and honest people. Everything is always explained in a constructive way without any shaming and treatment is conservatively recommended, nothing extra or unnecessary. Honestly, I don't have a single negative thing to say. Scheduling is easy, front desk is as amazing as the hygienists and clinicians. There are TVs on the ceilings for the kids and they get prizes when they are done so my kids actually look forward to going to the dentist! When life is full of stress and negativity, don't let the dentist make you feel that way!!! I just want to spread the word because finding the wrong dentist can also have bad lasting effects for a parent and child.

I was incredibly impressed and pleased with my entire visit. I didn’t have high expectations for my 2.5yr olds first visit to the dentist. But the office staff was so friendly and the waiting room so inviting that we started off on a great note. Then my son got to pick his toothpaste flavor and a movie (with the tv on the ceiling so he could watch the whole time!) and sit on my lap during the whole cleaning. Reagan was a great hygienist and handled my son perfectly. Dr Caldera was also very kind and professional. I was given great information and advice about my son’s dental care. Then my son got to pick a prize for being such a good boy. We will definitely be back and I would highly recommend this practice to any parent.

It was my daughter’s first visit to the dentist. She is usually a terror at the doctor’s office. She left saying she had fun! They were attentive and took time explaining some concerns. All the staff were friendly. Overall, this was a pleasant visit for us.
