Looking for a Good Pediatric Dentist

My husband and I moved here five weeks ago. We have two children. I'm having such a hard time finding a pediatric dentist. I don't know anyone in the area to ask for advice. I would love to go into an office that is kid friendly with toys, etc. I took them to one yesterday that advertised as being pediatric but when we arrived, it was very clear they were not set up for children! We had an extremely long wait time also.
We live in Julington Creek and would love to find someone near by us. Can anyone help?

What can I do next?

I can recommend Dr. Marinela Nemetz. She is a very friendly, competent pediatric dentist, definitely oriented to children. My daughter (5) has been going to her for 1-1/2. She is in Mandarin, very close to Julington Creek.
Here is her address and phone number:
12421 San Jose Blvd., #320 (kind of behind Sonny's BBQ)

My kids LOVE Dr. Matt McLellan in Saint Augustine. He is on U.S. 1 in Saint Augustine. His phone number is ###-###-####. He is a pediatric dentist and his wife is a regular dentist. He shares the office in St. Aug with his wife, there aren't a lot of toys there, but he does have an office in Palm Coast with lots of toys. He brings his staff back and forth with him. If you need an orthodontist Dr. Glenos and his staff in St. Aug are AWESOME! My kids actually look forward going to the dentist.

Hey R. i worked at weaver and strattons in op for 12 years or so and became asahm. They are great. They are very good parents outside of the practice and have raised wonderful children. Be very careful as to who u go to for peds in the area . Some have been in business for a long time but it's mainly do to the ins they take not the care they give to the children. Best of luck

We love going to see Dr. Michael Stratton in Orange Park on Kingsley Ave. ####-###-####. My son will be 3 in Sept. and we've been going for 1 1/2 years now and he never cries and looks forward to his balloon. They are always on time and will sometimes even take him back when we are early. They play kid's videos in the waiting room toy area and in the ceiling in the room they treat him. He is treated in the same room every time and they also make sure that the same hygenist works with him every time. It's worth the drive from Lake Shore on the Westside.

It's been a few years since my sons have been to a pediatric dentist. However, we LOVED Drs. Stratton and Weaver in Orange Park, Right off of US 17 and Kingsley. My youngest son hated going to the doctor but loved going to the dentist. He could play in the playroom and even went back (at age 4) by himself. He loved being able to watch cartoons overhead while having work done.

I also highly recommend Marinela Nemetz and she's probably the closest to you too! I have found her aquatic painted clinic to be very kid friendly. My 3.5 and 2 year old sons have been going to her for the past 2 years and they do great with her and her staff. Last month my youngest did a faceplant on the sidewalk and busted 2 front teeth. She was able to see him right away and filed the sharp teeth down without him even knowing what was going on. She's got tv's in the ceiling with kids channels and is super gentle yet firm when things need to get done.

Dr. Setzer and Cochran - Bayberry Road in Baymeadows is wonderful! Big Toothbrushes hang from the ceiling - kids get microphones and watch movies above their heads while they receive their cleanings. Friendly staff! Check it out - I've attached the link to their website. My child hasn't had one cavity yet and he's 7. My daughter who will be two is going soon for her first flouride/and check up. Good luck with your decision! http://www.setzerandcochran.com/
