Testimonials

What Our
Patients Say...

"PDG feels like home. Whether my 3 girls were there to see Dr. Kramer for regular dental care or seeing Dr. Kennedy for orthodontics, we were always greeted with smiles and treated like family. I was so impressed with the beautiful smiles created by this great team of professionals that I had my braces done there as well!

Our family photos are "picture perfect" and my family is so glad I chose to trust the care of their smiles to the friendly and highly trained staff and doctors of the Pediatric Dental Group."
