Treated My Son With Patience & Kindness

Took both my sons for dentist appointments today. My older son is 12 and my younger son is 4. The 4-year-old has nonverbal autism. The staff and dentist were absolutely amazing. I wasn't in the waiting room more than 2 minutes when they came to get us. They treated my son with so much patience and kindness.

We'll Definitely Be Back

Today was our 1st visit! We had a dental emergency and needed an office that accepted our insurance. I was very impressed. Everyone was so nice and put my son at ease. The dentist was funny and spoke directly to my son so that he knew what was going on. The office was very clean and organized. We will definitely be back and I plan to bring my youngest here as well.

They Were All Exemplary

Panhandle Dentistry has amazing staff!! Everyone was patient and friendly. I have one child with special needs and they were all exemplary. Dr. Barry found out my other son loves music and he beatboxed for him.

Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Experience

I couldn't have asked for a better 1st dental experience for my boys! I was nervous for them as I remember my dentist as a child. From the moment I walked through the doors I felt an at home welcome from the 2 wonderful ladies working the front.

So Blessed & Happy

We drove almost 2 hours to go to this dentist and I am so blessed and happy we chose this one. I highly recommend this place to anyone who has little kids or bigger kids to go here. We are a permanent client now.

Every Encounter Was Phenomenal

We went the Panama City location and I was thoroughly impressed with our visit. The first thing I noticed was the facility is beautiful and clean and you can tell they take the health of their staff as well as their patients very seriously. Then, literally every single encounter we had with the staff was phenomenal. The front desk ladies were welcoming, kind and bubbly.

This Visit Was Exceptional

My daughter has autism and office visits are not her favorite. This was our second time to the Niceville office and while the first was good, this visit was exceptional. Corey cleaned her teeth and did her x-rays and was AMAZING with her. They knew exactly how to help her through it.

- Nicole

Friendly Staff & Great Service

Excellent friendly staff and great service, my 6 yr old actually enjoyed coming to this dentist!

- Elizabeth

Such a Blessing

I only have the best things to say about this wonderful office!! I've had so much trouble finding dentist for my children with the Medicaid we have, but they took me in got my kids all squared away and took the insurance I have they are so nice and will work with you on many different levels. I will never take my kids to another dentist this is such a blessing in disguise!!

Baby Boy Left Happy

I was very pleased with the office personnel, the cleanliness of the facility and how comfortable they made my little guy feel. Dr Eric was great with baby boy and took his time walking us through what was happening on this first visit. He willingly addressed all my questions and concerns! Baby boy left happy which makes Mama Bear happy.

What Quality Care Should Look Like

This practice exemplifies what quality care should look and feel like, exceeding expectations from the moment you walk in and after you have checked out.

Made Us Feel Very Comfortable

10/10 recommend this place! Everyone was so nice & welcoming with big smiles! Took my 2 year old to have her cavities filled & from the moment we walked in they made us feel very comfortable making sure to answer any questions or concerns! Throughout the process they made sure to update us on her progress while we waited out in the lobby!

- Nyla

They Made It Fun

Took both kids here. One for his first dentistry appointment - and the eldest for his second. It was a great experience for both kids!! The staff is patient and able to work with children of varying ages and abilities when it comes to comprehension. They made it fun - the dentist was great as well - thoroughly going over our options at varying price points depending on in office our out of office options for sedation options.

- Chase

Professional & Caring

We had an incredible experience for my daughters first visit, especially considering she had quite a bit of work done. The staff was professional and caring, and Dr. Johnson was wonderful with us. Thank you for taking such good care of my little girl!

I had to take my 5-year-old son in for an evaluation for some dental work, and the entire experience was great from start to finish. The initial appointment was quick and easy to schedule, and when it turned out he needed work that required sedation, they were able to get us in again very quickly.

The doctor and all of the staff were absolutely amazing—kind, patient, and wonderful with kids. They made what could have been a stressful situation feel easy and comfortable for both of us.

We’ve also had to return for a separate incident, and once again the experience was just as positive. I would definitely recommend Panhandle Pediatric Dentistry in Niceville to anyone with young kids!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience and recommendation! Our team strives to make every visit as smooth and comfortable as possible for children and their families. We’re grateful you chose our office for your child’s dental care. 🦷😊

We’re really happy with the treatment we’ve received, so far. We’ve been coming here for about 2 years now. The staff is always very professional/friendly and the prices are reasonable.

Clean, neat office. My room was freshly sanitized upon arrival (the chair was freshly wiped) Friendly staff. Flexible when it comes to scheduling and will even squeeze you in for an appointment if they have a cancellation! I also informed them I was going to be late for my son’s appointment due to heavy traffic and weather, they still took us in! Great office and staff!
