Coastal Pediatric Dentistry - San Luis Obispo, California

Rachele Dickson

I can’t recommend this children’s dentist enough! The entire staff is incredibly caring, friendly, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. I have two little ones, and they go above and beyond to make each visit a positive experience.

My older child is sensitive to suction and toothpaste, and the team is amazing at working quickly and gently to keep her comfortable and happy. They’re so understanding and patient, which makes a huge difference. As for my energetic 2-year-old, who can’t sit still, the staff handles her with such kindness and creativity, making the whole process much less stressful for us both.

The environment is so kid-friendly and inviting—it’s clear they really care about their young patients. I truly appreciate their efforts and highly recommend them to any parent!”
P.S. the fun surprises are the best!

The staff members at Coastal Pediatric Dentistry are incredible. Every single person is so kind and welcoming. Dr. Forester is such a wonderful, caring doctor and can relate so well to the kids, but it's equally great with the parents. Everything about this office screams thoughtfulness and care. My son is excited to go to the dentist because of this team. Thank you!

My daughter chipped her front adult tooth. I called and left a message right when it happened and then called again first thing Monday morning. I spoke with Sarah who asked me to send pictures of her tooth so the doctor could look at it. They called back within a few minutes and scheduled us that afternoon. Once we arrived the customer service representative we spoke with was incredible friendly and presented an estimate for the days visit. I was able to get a payment plan set up immediately after discussing it with Nancy in their billing department. Once we went into the treatment room it was as though the hygienist and Dr. Forrester had one purpose and that was to make my daughter feel as comfortable as possible, not to mention they were quick and efficient. Her tooth looks beautiful to top it off. Overall the office, from front staff to treatment staff, was incredible from start to finish and every other visit has been this way. The are wonderful!

Amazing dentist office. I've been coming here for about 10 yeyears. Dr. Forrester is amazing and takes the time to answer your questions. The office space is engaging for children of all ages and interests. The staff is amazing as well. I love that they go all out with theme days and holiday cheer which makes it a fun place for kids. You may even see the tooth fairy make an appearance. Recently my son was particularly interested in the toy teeth in his exam room and enjoyed brushing them. You can't go wrong with this office.

Amazing pediatric dentist! I brought my son to be seen and I couldn’t be happier with everything. Dr. Forester is experienced, informative, and so caring. The receptionists are so friendly and well organized definitely a great office!

Both doctors at this practice are exceptional. Doctor Forester was kind, wise, and talented in rebuilding a tooth that needed repairs. And recently Doctor Natalie was exceptional in treating our son for both repairs and extractions. She explained everything she was going to do before doing it, she monitored and adjusted based on pain levels, and was patient and compassionate throughout. We could not have been in better hands.
