What Families Love About Little Bear

This was my child's first visit to the dentist and it was lovely. The staff was very nice and they gave us a little tour of their facility. Because of how young my child is, they have a special area for him to play in during his exam. I've never been to a pediatric dentist before but the technique the doctor used for cleaning his teeth was very effective and did not upset him at all. I have already made his next appointment and look forward to going back. I also plan to refer some friends here when it's time for their kids to go to the dentist.

We had such a great experience at Little Bear! Each member of the team was warm, welcoming, and put my nervous son at ease. The office is peaceful and friendly for kids with various needs. Dr. Skuja explained everything to my son in advance, let him see and feel everything, and went at his pace. She gave him a variety of choices throughout his cleaning and explained everything to me in parent-friendly language.

During our first visit at little bear our experience was beyond amazing, upon arriving we was treated like we have been going there for years! My children sometimes can be a little overwhelming even with my 8 year old having anxiety when he goes to the dentist they was Amazing and patient with him. My youngest don’t have many teeth left the tooth fairy been coming a lot around here but I have never seen him smile so hard in a dentist office!

Little Bear sets the bar for an amazing experience for little ones at the dentist. We brought our 2 & 4 year old boys for the first time this morning.  They had an absolute blast and were asking on the way home when we can go back.

Dr. Skuja and her staff provided a personalized and attentive experience. Her practice is fun and calming for the little ones and they genuinely enjoyed going to the dentist.

We brought them to Little Bear due to dissatisfaction at a practice in a neighboring town.  We were looking for a more personal experience and Little Bear totally delivered. If you’re looking for great, personalized dental care in a relaxing and fun environment, look no further. This place is great!

We were willing to drive the extra distance from Phoenixville as this dentist and team treat you like family! The actual office reminds me of an indoor playground with books, sensory toys, little tables and interactive wall toys!!! Dentist is PHENOMENAL and literally walks you through the process. My 3 year old son did awesome at his first visit!! She had him sit in my husbands lap and face him as he laid back. She sang to him and counted his teeth. My son did great and he had no cavities. As a teacher and Early intervention instructor I highly recommend this place!! 👍👍💯

Dr. Skuja and her team are fantastic! We had a very smooth and thorough dental visit for both of my children. The office is warm and welcoming, the space was designed very intentionally to make children and caregivers comfortable. Every room has something special to offer! Congratulations to Dr. Skuja on opening a beautiful pediatric dental practice!
