GETTING TO KNOW YOU & REDUCING ANXIETY

Lucia G.

What makes Dr. Lucia really loved by her patients is the amazing way she has of putting her patients at ease. She has a special interest and training in “behavior management,” a stiff-sounding phrase that really means getting to know, understand, and gently meet the needs of every child – on their level!

Marlina S.

Dr. Marlina has helped restore countless smiles to prevent a future filled with dental issues. Despite her busy schedule helping children and teaching, Dr. Marlina manages to put great effort into completing her continuing education to remain up-to-date with the latest treatment techniques and technologies.

Welcome to Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry

We know that kids do better when they feel safe and confident. They get better grades, they thrive socially, and they do better in potentially stressful situations. We keep our lines of communication open and clear to help support this safe and confident feeling.

WE LOVE GETTING TO KNOW OUR COLUMBUS NEIGHBORS!

What Parents Say About

Buckeye

Pediatric Dentistry

The professionals at this facility are HANDS DOWN TOP TIER! From scheduling the appointment for my daughter to follow-up calls providing important information about my insurance, Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry was simply amazing! The dental hygienist and dentist that worked with my daughter were just LOVELY! They spoke to my daughter with so much care and respect and informed her of everything they were doing so that she was comfortable! I literally burst out in the middle of her appointment and said, “You all are just fantastic! Thank you so much!” After my daughter’s appointment was complete, she left with a hand-picked toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, and a ton of stickers! My daughter wanted to call our entire family to tell them about her dentist appointment! Thank you Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry! We can’t wait to see you in August!

Leah G.

My 6-year-old recently had some cavities filed by Gerstmann, and it was honestly a FUN experience for him! Lucia is so kind and gentle with kiddos while explaining everything she's doing so they can understand it. Her staff is also super friendly and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. So thankful we found them!

I will be switching all my kids over here. It’s just the tentativeness and their approach they have with my child. My child didn’t want to get her teeth work done but the Dr was so patient with her. In the end my daughter got her teeth work done , the Dr and assistant praised her then gave her popsicle and stickers! My daughter was proud of herself but I think it was more bc we had a softer approach on her teeth surgery than the other dentist we previously visited.

We have always had a great experience at Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry for over 15 years. My kids needed extra tooth care at a very young age, and after a bad experience at another pediatric office, we have felt very fortunate to have found Dr. Lucia and the other doctors and hygienists and staff. Dr. Lucia explains everything in detail, is very encouraging to the kids, fun to be around, and a talented doctor (as are the others here). If you have kids, I highly recommend taking them here for their dental needs.
