• "Kitsap Kid's Dentistry has completely revolutionized dental care and customer service!!! The moment you enter their office, you are met with a calming and inviting ambiance. The entire office is completely designed with children and their family in mind – there were no details left addressed! The children’s area of the waiting room has fantastic media activities making the “wait” a breeze. Speaking of “waiting”, there isn’t much of it! It amazes me how they can provide such quality care for every patient, yet stay on schedule! I don’t ever recall having to wait long at all – that’s HUGE!

• My daughter actually looks forward to her dental visits for so many reasons. She seems to be fascinated by all there is to see. Not only do they entertain the children, but they do so while making dental care fun to learn about.

• Dr. Banks and her staff are uniformly consistent in providing stellar dental care- Period. They are in a league of their own. I strongly recommend this office! I LOVE IT!

• To Dr. Banks and Staff – Thanks for all you do! All children deserve the Kitsap Kid's Dentistry experience! YOU ROCK!"

• "Dr. Banks and her staff have helped my son transition from his being terrified at his initial appt to a little man who jumps up in the chair and is ready for his exams/x-rays, etc."

• "I love the office and Dr. Banks. I refer you to all of our friends and in coming military families."

• "Your staff was absolutely WONDERFUL! My kids actually said, "That was fun!" after we left!"

• "I was very impressed with the office and staff, it is by far the best dental clinic I have been to! Just wish Dr. Banks treated adults too. I already referred you guys to a few friends and my appt was just yesterday. Thanks for a positive experience for me and my daughter."

• "Service was excellent & staff members were very welcoming and friendly. I would recommend Dr. Jessie Banks to every parent!"

• "You need to start accepting dentist-phobia adults :) :)"

• "I love this office and the people who work in it! Everyone is very professional and attentive to their patients needs and concerns!"

• "You guys are all wonderful!"

• "You need to multiply the staff and the building and let the world have a chance at the awesome experience."

• "I am so sad to be leaving the area. This is by far the best children’s dentist office. The staff is amazing with the children and know how to make teeth cleaning fun. My son was so excited to go back for his cleaning. It will be very hard to find a dentist office like this again. One in a million. I just hope there is a good children’s dentist in South Carolina."

• "My son was extremely comfortable in your office. He is always considerably nervous in new situations, not at Kitsap Kid's though! Wonderful. He also is heeding the advice beautifully given. I am 100% satisfied, thank you!"

• "This office is GREAT!!! MY kids look forward to all appointments. Thanks so much!"

• "I thought the staff was so friendly and kind to the kids. It's a relief to have such a great dentist so close to home that we can bring our foster children to. Thank you!"

• "My kids love coming to the dentist!! It is always a great experience for them. THANK YOU ALL!"

• "This is the best children's dentist office ever!!"

• "Our first appointment, to set up my sons record was fantastic, the staff was genuine, welcoming, and I felt as though they really cared for and loved children. We had X-rays done and an exam to determine the health of my sons teeth where we found out that he had 4 cavities. We went ahead and scheduled an appointment for the fillings, with the office, due to this fantastic experience alone."

• "We had the first appointment for the fillings today, and I will say that my son couldn't have been more comfortable and relaxed. He was wearing a lot on his face/head for a 4 year old, but the staff and Dr. Banks were really calm, sincere, and patient. I have never had an experience like this for myself. I would recommend Kitsap Kid's Dentistry to anyone and will maintain Dr. Banks as my children’s pediatric dentist as long as she is in business."

• "Its a great place to bring my kids! I love it there."

• "Your staff is always so friendly, the gals up front always greet me w/a great big smile...and checking out is always a breeze :-) Georgette was very informative & my son loved the Mario Brothers paintings on his teeth. Dr. Banks was wonderful (as always) and she always makes our visits fun & enjoyable ones! Thanks everyone!!"

• "We have been impressed and very happy with every experience we've had. We have referred several friends and will continue to recommend your office. Thank you for taking such good care of our family!"

• "I just wanted to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! My son absolutely LOVES coming to see Dr. Banks! I never thought it would be possible for kids to be upset because they have to LEAVE the dentist...he'd live in the waiting room if he had the chance :-) We love the office, love the staff and we learn so much about taking care of our teeth at each visit! Thank you KKD!"
