Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Always a great experience!

I loved going to Dr. Keaty as a child and now my 3 boys love it too! Dr. Keaty, Dr. Goury & the staff have been so accommodating for my autistic son. He gets a private room, and they explain everything to him before so he knows what to expect. They don’t use any dental tools that are “too loud or scary” for him. They really do everything they can to make him feel comfortable and safe. If you have a child with special needs, I highly recommend Dr. Keaty & Dr. Goury! They are both amazing!

My family loves Dr. Keaty and his staff! I went to him when I was a child and now my children see him. He and his staff are always so sweet and explain everything they are checking when they examine my children’s teeth and gums. This group really is the best!

We have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Dr. Keaty and Dr. Gouri. My children seem to have had nothing but bizarre things happen with their teeth, and with each thing, everyone in the office has gone above and beyond. I trust everyone in the office absolutely and recommend them to all of my friends and family. We love Keaty Pediatric Dentistry!
