They have the best possible rapport with children...

Dr. Maria and the entire staff at Philadelphia Pediatric Dentistry are just amazing! They have the best possible rapport with children and have a way of putting them at ease in a stressful situation. My daughter was beside herself when she knocked a tooth out recently and as soon as she stepped through the doors she calmed down and knew she was going to be taken care of. If you are looking for a dentist for your amazing kiddos this is the place! The office is super convenient, centrally located and absolutely beautiful, as well!

Home Life

Beyond serving families, Dr. Maria is a joyful wife and mother of 2 living in the Art Museum neighborhood.
