The secretary who speaks Spanish is super cute and friendly!! Thanks for the support and patience. The dentist is very attentive, my son is always very calm during the procedure with her, which we greatly appreciate!! He also always calls in the afternoons to check on how my son was during the day. Everything is excellent!!
Niamh Ramirez
Can’t say enough about this team ! From the front desk staff to the dental assistant everyone is so friendly and professional! Dr. Nate is amazing with children very clear with both parent and child on what is happening!
Taya Yusuf
Our kid actually looks forward to his dentist appointments! We’ve had another dentist for him before, that was more “adult”-like, and very visit was a struggle to keep him in the chair and to open his mouth. A friend recommended Discovery pediatrics, and we are so happy to switched. The dentist is kind and engages with our kid, even explains to him what is happening. The space is set up for families, it’s a small things that make your life easier (like the play area for kids while adults can sort out the billing - so thoughtful!)
Stephanie Wei
Great experience with this dentist office, which is why we switched from our previous pediatric dentist to this one even though the drive is farther. Very friendly staff. The dentists and assistants are very experienced with children and patient with them as well. The dentists are also knowledgeable about things to look for when caring for our child’s teeth and is very friendly when answering our questions.
Lily C.
Excellent care from all of the staff. The dentist and hygienist are all very caring people. All of the clinical staff are skilled and patient. We've been coming here for over 10 years. They can answer questions about insurance billing and are up front about out of pocket costs. Dr. Wang explains procedures using age appropriate language to alleviate any anxiety. But she is upfront about needing to step up the brushing or flossing, if necessary.
Lauren Parris
So lucky we found this practice. My daughter and I love it. If you live in San Fran come here!
Amanda Webb
My three year old son had a great first dentist appointment. It was seamless, gentle, and he will be in great hands going forward with Discovery Pediatric Dentistry.
Jung-Ah Kim
Great and clean facility and all of the staffs and doctors are very nice and caring!
Jennifer Gay
Excellent care! I am so happy we found Dr. Emily. We felt so welcomed and very well taken care of. She is kind, patient and very thorough. I highly recommend her.
Eliza Shepard
My son loves going to the Dentist. Kind, caring and knowledgeable staff and dentists.
Lauren Breault
My son is autistic and has ultimate fear of dentist procedures. The entire staff has been amazing working with him. He got his favorite cartoons streamed to watch during the procedure. They go above and beyond to ensure my son is well cared for and as comfortable as he can be for dental cleaning, x-rays and exams. He gets to play with toys and a wall sized light bright prior to exam and gets toys on top of the customary tooth brush and floss. This office is top notch. I drive an hour and a half for good reason to go here and will continue to do so. Thank you team for being so great with my son!!!
Tracy Tanner
we are so happy with Discovery Pediatric Dentistry. everyone on stff is friendly and kind and help my anxious daughter feel comfortable and safe.
Sukhada Rahalkar
One of the best ways to spend time with my toddler. We can easily spend up to 4 hours here.
serena satyasai
Both my kids have gone to this dentist since they were little. The entire staff knows how to work with little ones and make them feel comfortable. The office has lots of toys and kids get to choose a gift after every visit. The office is also full of natural light and open so kids can see what other kids are having done. They are also expert in knowing when to refer for orthodontists, etc. Easy location to reach though you do have to pay for parking.
Carolina Gomes
Excellent care for kiddos. Great staff and super kind and patient with my little one!
Sarah Maltby
This was such a great experience all round. Dr Nate is a brilliant, empathic & relatable parent educator and he was clearly born to work with kids. My son’s first dental appt was actually really enjoyable for us both. The premises are set up brilliantly for kids (train set, neon peg board, big trucks), most of the consult was in the play area and when it came to actually looking in my sons mouth it was done in such a relaxed and collaborative way that my son wanted the game to keep going. 10/10 recommend.
Ehud
My 6 year old had anxiety and they couldn't complete a required filling at a previous dentistry. This time, at Discovery, it went smoothly and the filling was made. All staff are wonderful. Thorough exam and explanations.
Volha Nahornaya
This is our second visit to the clinic, and the doctors are very attentive and friendly to young patients.
Elva Campos
Everyone was GREAT! I loved how everyone was so patient with my 2 year old. My 14 your olds teeth are looking great. I want to thank everyone at Discovery dental for your help.
Kathryn Chen
Discovery Pediatric Dentistry is really great with kids! We started coming when my daughter was around 3. They're great at putting kids at ease and so happy to have found them!
Sutana Sertana
My kids have seen Dr. Pereira and Dr. Wang since they can see Dentist. The team is amazing! They are very patient and amazing!
Judy F. Tu, Esq.
My son is only 14 months old so I was worried about going to his 1st appointment. Dr. Emily Wang was the BEST! She calmed him down and even got him to sit still while she brushed his teeth. Dr. Wang was thorough, patient and explained the entire process and what we can expect in the future. We are so happy we found Dr. Wang! Everyone from the staff was very helpful and kind as well. Well worth the drive to DiscoveryPD!
Sheela Zemlin
So patient and parent friendly. Great detailed explanation of any issues and care treatment. We love your practice!
Kai Chan
Dr Emily is great. All of the staff is also really nice. My son enjoyed his dental visit.
Emily Regan
Both of our children had such a wonderful experience at their check up and everyone was so sweet and our kids were happy the whole time!
Anthony Rivera
The entire team is top notch! They hey you go through everything, they work well with young kids and make sure that you are comfortable before they proceed. Will return with my son for future visits!
Maria Bernasconi
Dr. Emily took the time to talk with my children and explain things to them at their level. She was very warm and caring with them and also with us, the parents. It was a great experience and we truly appreciate her professionalism and expertise!

Amazing Doctors and Staff!!! My kids have been seeing Dr. Wang and Dr. Pereira since they could see a Dentist! Highly Recommended!!
Sami Greenberg
The first time I had a great experience. This time, they were running 40-45 minutes late and didn’t say anything to us. Once we saw the dentist, it was a super quick appointment because they were running late.
Although we know this is too late, we believe an apology is always better late than never. We apologize for not taking the time to keep you in the loop with our schedule. We try our best to stay on schedule, and when we do sometimes have to run on what we call “Children’s Time” we also usually clearly communicate with other families about any delays. Clearly, we missed this time around, and apologize for the experience. We hope you’re willing to give us a chance to make it right at the next appointment. As an inside tip, we recommend trying early morning appointments or the first appointments in the afternoon (after lunch) as there is less chance for us to run on Children’s Time because frankly, there would be less children before the appointment. Thank you for your patience and for bringing up your experience as it helps us stay on track to deliver the high level of service we strive to provide for our patients and families.

My 3 year old daughter was pretty nervous about going to a dentist, but her dentist (sorry I forgot his name) was absolutely amazing with her and she was at ease almost instantly! They definitely know how to work with kids
Brandy Sykes
Dr. Emily was wonderful! So patient, kind and upbeat. The kids loved her, esp my nervous 6yo who is never keen on visiting the dentist. This was our first time at the office. We saw Dr. Nate 10/23: another great visit! My boys actually like going to the dentist, the staff is always wonderful, kind and happy. Dr. Nate was amazing with my boys, they both came home reiterating all the tips they received from him regarding food choices, flossing and even for my sons upcoming expander placement. Great place, you won’t regret coming here!
Mira Yuzon
Dr. Wang was great. She stayed composed and professional despite my toddler’s outburst. It was my daughter my first visit to the dentist and she was very nervous and scared. Dr. Wang explained everything she was doing and was very patient with my daughter. Staff were also very helpful.
Alicia Contreras Ruiz
My kids love Discovery Pediatric Dentistry they are always friendly, take the time to explain and answer questions and they know what they do.
Svetlana Pardon
EVERYONE is super friendly and extra knowledgable on how to handle kids and make them comfortable. All kids I saw there including mine are smiling and following dentist’s instructions with ease . Thank you for the great care ?
Oyuntuya Sandagdorj
We love the Discovery children’s dentistry! All nurses and doctors are super friendly and helpful! There is no waiting time, everyone is super attentive and listens our concerns and questions! Everything looks clean and organized in the dentistry and overall we are so happy found the Discovery. Wish I can go there if they treat adults.
L Klinger
Competent and friendly staff, kind and gentle and skilled dentist and beautiful office.
julio ramirez
Always a great visit with Dr Nate! He includes the child in the process and gives great options for treatment based on the need of the child
Allison McConaghay Shu
We are extremely impressed with Dr. Pariya. Highly recommend her!
Hannah Calderon
We just visited Dr. Nate’s Dental Practice We bought our three young kids ages 6, 4, 3, for their first dental check-up, not only did Dr. Nate and his staff make them feel welcome and comfortable but proceeded to give us sound advice so we can give our kids the best dental care at home. Thank you Dr. Nate and your staff for their knowledge and professionalism.
Cristina O
Wonderful staff! Very good at what they do; showing great care from the time we checked in through my children’s cleaning and exam and the final recap of the visit. Thanks for another great appointment!
Charline Souffan
Awesome first experience for my 4 and 2 years old kids. Dr. Emily and her staff were very sweet and patient, and the kids didn't move a notch during their exam, even WITHOUT any screens. Would definitely recommend!
Nerissa Vergara
Love bringing my kids. The staff are all so welcoming. They know how to make my 4 year old daughter feel comfortable. Dr. Melanie Perea-corkish and Nga were very patient when my daughter didn’t want to finish her clean up. They gave her time and waited for her when she was ready. We left with clean teeth and smiles.
Walter Lee
Dr. Melanie and staff were so kind and patient! My toddler was very frightened and had a total meltdown (and she gets frightened in most healthcare situations, not just dentists). They really went above and beyond to try to comfort her. They were still able to get an exam and cleaning done, between all the tears, and they had a great attitude throughout. Thank you!
Maylina Baltodano
We love Dr Nate … he is the best and my daughter loves going to the dentist ? we have been going to see Dr Nate for 11 years
Helcerna Hernandez
Love the place! Amazing treatment with the staffs, like a family. All the equipment is updated and high-tech. ? ?❤️?
jennifer henley
Estelle loves Dr. Emily and all of the technicians. She needed an x ray and an extraction of a baby tooth yesterday. Dr Emily and the hygienist were fantastic with my courageous, very nervous and disoriented by numbing, little eight year old
Lisa Franks
We had an excellent first dental visit, and also our second and third, from beginning to end! Staff were pleasant and professional, and gave clear information. My little one can't wait to go back!
Kathryn Bache
The dentists here are always so patient with my kids and they give the children a toy at the end which definitely keeps the kids excited to come back.
Sophia Montoya
This place was great but I have to doc a point for price. Holy wow are they expensive! I was shocked when they gave me the bill. They charge far more then my adult dentist and they didn’t even have to do anything. This was an introductory visit for a 16 month old where they brushed his teeth, visually examined them and applied a thin coat of fluoride. $400!!!! The fluoride alone was $140 and that very morning I had myself a dentist appointment and got fluoride on my much larger then baby teeth and was only charged $30. I feel robbed. But I will say the stuff was very friendly and efficient. While they were on time there was still pockets of time where we were waiting and a play area would had been nice, even like a wall activity board or something for a restless toddler to occupy themselves because it was exhausting trying to keep him entertained an patient. I think I would had expected more thought put into an establishment that works with children daily.

Dr. Perea-Corkish is fantastic with children! She is adored by my son! I appreciate how she made sure he was comfortable with the treatment by discussing it in detail before beginning his dental work. She had excellent bedside manners, which helped him and me relax. Gina, the dental assistant and her front desk staff were also very nice and efficient. I gave their office a five-star rating because they genuinely care about their patients, and Dr. Perea-Corkish even called the same day to check in on my son. Discovery Pediatrics Dentistry did a fantastic job! Your kindness and hard work are greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the review. We feel that it is important that as children they learn and understand why going to the dentist is important for their health, but more importantly help nurture them to become adults that are comfortable and confident when they go to the dentist.

I've been taking my daughter to this practice for a couple of years. I highly recommend it. - It's easy to schedule appointments. - They're accommodating if I'm running a bit behind. - Their Covid protocol is good. It requires temperature check and hand sanitizer to be allowed into the practice, only 2-3 kids + one parent tend to be in the treatment area at once though they can accommodate many more, and their toys/gifts see as little touch as possible. - Everyone treating kids has an upbeat attitude and a friendly approach to kids. They make everyone feel at ease. Get there a bit earlier than appt. time as parking can be tricky.
Thanks for the review and tip. Hopefully when Van Ness construction is over, parking will be more consistent.

We continue to be impressed by how Dr. Nate handles my kid’s dental work journey. He’s been patient, but also encouraging for him to overcome his fear of procedures.

We had an amazing appointment with Dr. Nate! I can't speak more highly of our experience. He and his team were extremely thoughtful and calm with my son exploring and checking things out before we got his teeth cleaned. Unlike other dental appointments I've had for my son, Dr. Nate took the time to tell me what we'd do together and how I could keep telling the story of what it was like at the dentist with my son later. I'm so grateful I found Discovery Pediatric Dentistry and am so happy we have such an awesome dentist!
Lisa Forero
Dr. Wang and the hygienist team are top notch. Thanks to her care and advice, my son who is 9 is cavity-free.
Laura Strylowski
This is the best pediatric dentistry! The team is highly competent in interacting with children and are very friendly, professional and communicative. My 3 yo daughter loved how they included her and they made her feel very comfortable. They are extremely sanitary with their procedures and equipment, and followed strict Covid precautions which I appreciated. I have/would recommend Discovery Pediatric Dentistry to anyone!
Khristine Atienza Walker
The doctors and staff at Discovery Pediatric Dentistry are amazing! My kids (6 & 3 yo) love going there, because they think it’s fun. I never would have thought that my children would be looking forward to going to the dentist. I think that a testament to the people that work there. They are so nice, they talk to/joke around with the kids, and more importantly, they do a great job with their teeth! I highly recommend this place!
Thanks! Work is just a lot easier when you’re having fun! Have a great summer.

Dr. Wang and her team very professional. Years ago my family dentist referred us to Dr. Wang because my baby girl has dentist problems not just cavities, she helped with taking off some baby tooth and bridge space between teeth. and now there still more teeth with limited spaces, she provided some options and also explained all details including side effects, we were very clear about and now I think we are going to have braces for my daughter. Thanks Dr. Wang! We will continue to see you.
Thank you so much for your words of confidence. We try our best to deliver the best care we can for each and every one of our patients.

My son has been coming here for over 5yrs now. Never had any problems. All the providers are great, including the front desk staff to the assistants in the back they are all great very friendly! But our favorite is Dr. Nate, he really just connects with my son. He's very gentle and laughs at my sons silly jokes! Tells stories to distract the child during a procedure! He's great! Highly recommend having your child be seen at this dentistry, always super clean, with COVID now even more. Have visited twice during pandemic have felt safe both times.
Your words mean a lot to me and my team. We’ve been working hard all year to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Thanks for coming in. We miss everyone’s smiles. Dr. Nate.

Dr. Emily Wang is amazing as always. With the all the new protocols in place the office staff and dentists are clean, safe, professional and efficient. All of the dentists and staff are great with the kids both reassuring and positive when working on their teeth. I would highly recommend.
Angela Lau
Update: Our daughter is now 3 and we've been consistently going to DPP every 6 months. The space follows all Covid protocols and felt super clean. Appointments and patients are well spaced out. Dr Melanie continues is still the great personable caring dentist that she is! All the assistants and staff are also super friendly. Love this place. ************************************************* So grateful our pediatrician referred us to DPD, we saw Dr Melanie and she can't be any more perfect. Super heart warming to our 15mo daughter, kind and patient as she walked us through all the necessary steps for proper hygiene and advice on weaning her off her pacifier. She didn't cry/whine at all when she helped her brush her teeth for the first time ever. The office set aside an area with activity tables and toys, I was beyond impressed. Not only is their office perfect for children, but they actually see you on time!
Thanks! Glad your little one had a good experience. =)

Staff is always super friendly every time we come in for our appointments (including when we are running a few minutes late). They have plenty of toys and kid/adult magazines to read while waiting to be seen. My kids (9 and 6 years old) have been seeing Dr. Nate since they were 2 years old. Through every cleaning and filling he is always patient with the kids including times when they don't want to be there!
