What Pinellas Park families say
Real reviews from Go Smile's Google Business Profile.
We went for my daughter's first dentist appointment. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming, and my daughter was not scared at all. They have a lot of fun activities for the kids, the appointment was very interactive and relaxing. They made it feel special for her by putting on her favorite show, and they were really great at making her feel comfortable. She got a little gift at the end of her visit and she is so excited to go back to the dentist again. Five stars all around. The office is really modern and clean and updated. Would highly recommend them!
This is the BEST pediatric dentist I have ever been to! The staff is really nice and knowledgeable. When you walk in there is toys to make your children feel comfortable, they even have a television on in the back room where your children can watch their favorite show while getting their teeth cleaned! I promise if you take your children here you won't regret it. Thank you to the staff for making this the best experience for my son!
I've been taking my 7 year old daughter here and Dr. Lynne and their staff have been amazing. Best pediatric dentist we've been to in the area.
Dr. Guloy and Dr. Cataldo are the best duo! They are incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and so friendly—you truly feel like part of the family at every visit. They have a special way of making kids feel safe and calm, explaining each step of the process in a reassuring and easy-to-understand way. The office is always clean, organized, and welcoming. You really feel prioritized from the moment you walk in. The care and experience they provide is unmatched and the results so far are amazing!
Highly recommend to any family looking for top-notch pediatric dental and orthodontic care!
A great pediatric dentist and orthodontist office option! The office is clean, modern, with the most up to date and advanced technology. The staff is awesome and Dr. Cataldo and Dr. Guloy are great at what they do which is evident in their work. You will not be disappointed if you take your children here!
They took care of both my kids and from the start, my kids felt comfortable. They also allowed me to go back with them. The dentist was very knowledgeable on why my kids teeth were the way they were and gave ideas on future treatment plans. The office was clean, organized but above all, very comforting to my kids. I knew before going in that one of my kids teeth had to be pulled and that process was relatively straightforward and the verbiage they used was kid friendly and not scary to them. They both really did love going! Thank you!
