I am looking for a pediatric dentist for my 5 year old daughter. Our insurance covers these four dentists. If you have used them could you please let me know your opinion.

Kelli Ettelbrick
Ty Hinze
Sandra McDougal
Thanks to all everyone for your recommendations. We went to Dr. Ty Hinze. The staff and Dr. Ty made my daughter's dental experience fun and painless. She can't wait to go back!
Does it have to be a pediatric dentist? If not...my dentist is GREAT with children. He is seeing my 3 year old. And my husband has seen him since he was 3 years old too.
Dr. Richard Seidler in The Colony
Both Dr. Ettelbrick & Hinze are in the same office. We started out with Dr. Ettelbrick and absolutely LOVE her. We saw Dr. Hinze when Dr. Ettelbrick was on maternity leave and he was nice too. Highly recommend them.
We use Dr. Sandy McDougal-- my kids actually ASK to go "see Dr. Sandy"!! She is GREAT with the kids, and they love her.
I have referred at least 5 other moms/kids to her and ALL have absolutely loved her, the experience and continue to use her (AND refer her)!
Drs. Kelli and Ty are in the same practice and we LOVE them both. The staff is also fantastic. They are beyond great with kids there and the office is very, very child friendly.
Good luck!
We use Sandy McDougal and she's great. Highly recommend. She was referred to me by a friend who also uses her. We live south of LBJ, and drive all the way up there to her because I didn't have confidence in the network dentists in our immediate area.
I too use Dr. McDougal and have not problems (my son is 3 so there has not been much to do yet).
good luck
Another recommendation for Dr Kelli and Dr Ty! We usually see Dr Ty and he is wonderful, as is the rest of the office staff.
Hi N.! My daughter had to have some major dental work done by Kelli Ettelbrick and it worked out wonderfully. We had a great experience with her and she is still her dentist.
We also use Dr Kelli and Dr Ty and love them both! Lately we've been seeing Dr Ty since Dr. Kelli had a baby (she's back now but I hear she's expecting again). Great practice...the ladies who work in the office are wonderful with kids too!
Dr. Kelli is amazing - my son was actually upset when he didn't have a cavity because he loved having his other ones filled. The office is amazing - wish I could go there!
Dr Kelli, or Dr TY!!!! They are wonderful!!!! We have used Dr Kelli for 4 years and will never use anyone else!! Her office is fabulous!! You will Love her! Dr. Ty is her partner and equally as great!!
I have used both Kelli and Ty and they are wonderful. I live in Frisco and have several friends who take their kids there. I have a 5 year old daughter and an eight year old daughter. At one point, the five year old needed something removed from her lower lip which required topical and deadening of the mouth with a needle and she never knew they had done so. The staff is wonderful and you could not get better care. Trist me, I have tried. I hope this helps.
My kids are 11 and 6, they have been going to Dr Kelli since we moved to Frisco in 2006. She and her staff are really awesome!
I would NOT recommend Sandy McDougal. I actually took my son to see her b/c I got so many great comments and referrals from MamaSource. Not to mention, the examination cost was quite a bit less than most pediatric offices. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Without going into detail, it was not a good experience, I was not impressed with the staff and I will definitely be using another dentist.
Love Love Love Sandra McDougal
Cant say enough good things about her
We go to Ty Hinze (who works with Kelli Ettelbrick). He was great. He was so gentle and good with our son who wasn't quite two yet, and he didn't even cry ! I've heard Ettelbrick is great too, but we happen to see Hinze.
I would also recommend Dr. Kelli. My daughter is four and has been to her three times and really enjoys going - she and her staff are really great with kids!
