Blue Coral Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics - Crystal Lake (formerly Pediatric Dental Associates)

Ms Ashley was very helpful and informative about my son's hygiene and with my son. She made him not feel nervous and he did great! Dr. Klarck was very patient and nice also. I think I finally found the perfect dentist for my son

Dr. Lin and the entire staff were very welcoming, patient and kind. We came for a re-evaluation or second opinion and could not be more pleased with how thorough Dr. Lin was. The office is definitely kid friendly and offer all the amenities that will keep your young ones entertained throughout their dental examination or work needed. Even small details of having movies to watch on screens favoring the client (placed on ceiling for enhanced viewing) to introducing the movie (cartoon/ suitable for kids) upon the dental session starting. They have all the favorites to watch. Not a boring moment and Dr. Lin was just incredible!

We were referred to Dr. Lin from our feeding therapist who helped my daughter past a 100% oral aversion and taught her to eat orally. We had our cleaning today which still brings out major anxiety. The hygienist was so patient and was able to polish all but the back teeth, and able to scrape some tarter off. She used a brush on the back teeth to not trigger her gag reflex. She then needed a chipped tooth and a baby tooth in front of her fully in adult tooth pulled. Dr. Lin read the room well, controlled the environment, and looked to me to take the lead to get her through it. They were so patient and nurturing. I appreciate how he looked for my input on how we'd most likely be successful with the extraction. Thank you so very much!

My daughter is super apprehensive with the dentist. We had to switch because ours moved far away and decided to try Blue Coral. We were truly impressed. The front office staff were very professional. The hygienist was amazing and made me laugh the entire time, while she was comforting my daughter. She took her time with my children’s cleanings. A lot of places rush with kids (in my opinion) but you can tell she knows what she’s doing and really gets those teeth cleaned! The dentist was super nice and knowledgeable. He actually saved me money I was going to be charged at the last place for fillings my son didn’t need. My daughter asked to go back today! That’s a first for the dentist! It’s helps they give balloons. Give it try if you have kids who get nervous!

My son is on the spectrum and very finicky about who he lets near his mouth. Most times he needs to be medicated before his appointments but the last 6 appointments he has had he has not needed his meds. Dr George and his staff especially Ashley and Joanna my sons hygienists are amazing. Such patience is important for a special needs young man completely amazes me. We are so thankful for them. I would recommend this practice to anyone and everyone! Thank you again for keeping my Georgies smile in style 😊

Dr. Lin and his staff are incredible, even our three young children truly enjoy going to the dentist! This last appointment we brought our very nervous 6 year old son in for a tongue tie laser surgery. Dr. Lin has every step of the procedure organized so perfectly that our son was calm and cooperative throughout. I just cannot thank Dr. Lin enough for his expertise in pediatric dentistry!

I can’t say enough about how great this office is for a first time cleaning for both my 2 and 4.5 year old! Dr. Lin and the gals are super sweet and left a happy impression on my kids; that is exactly what I wanted as we teach them the importance of their dental health. My 4 yr old left so happy and has been so excited and proud of her little baggie at the end of the visit. thank you guys !

I switched from a different dentist to blue coral. I wasn't happy with the previous dentist I was with for my boys. I'm so happy I switched and found blue coral. They are amazing, patient and understanding. Dr Klarck and his team are phenomenal. He recently just did work on my son, and my son was not nervous at all. I love the whole kid friendly aspect, they truly care about kids which makes coming to the dentist hassle free.

Our hygienist Ashley was the best hygienist I’ve ever had with my daughter. She was very patient and did a great job taking her time cleaning her teeth and explained everything as she went.
The dentist was very nice as well, great experience.

Dr. Lin and Ashley the hygienist are amazing with my son. We have been going here for 9 years and my son has special needs. They are very patient and accepting of him and his behavior. They are kind and competent and remember every little thing that he prefers to make him comfortable. I have also contacted them in a full panic about my son’s teeth in the past and they were able to see me the same day and alleviate any fears. I can’t say enough good things about this practice.

My son has a fear of dentist. Once we walked in and he met Dr clark he has fine. The compassion that the whole team shows to the patient and the parents made the whole experience wonderful. They talk to you face to face and not around you. I would recommend anyone to go here. Is the bill pricey yes but we'll worth it if my kid is comfortable and willing to see a dentist like Dr clark.

The staff is amazing! My daughter hates needles and she needed cavities filled. I was a hot mess anticipating the worst experience for her but the staff and dentist made it an amazing one! We need to go back for more cavity work and she is actually excited to go back! My daughter will be a patient here as long as possible. Thank you Blue Coral Pediatric Dentistry 🖤

My coworker and friend referred me to this office. I took my two-year-old son, who knocked both front teeth out to see Dr. Clark. I was nervous because my child usually does not let anybody touch him. Although my child was hesitant, the staff was very accommodating and very understanding which made our first experience I would say good to great! we already scheduled our next appointment to start becoming a regular patient !

My 5 year old daughter was very nervous for her visit to the dentist. The hygienist, Jessica, was AWESOME at making her feel comfortable and explained everything in a way that she could understand. We will be back here for EVERY future dental appointment in our family. I wish I could leave 6 stars!

I am new to this office. I highly recommend Dr. Klarck and his team. My daughter had a procedure done today and I was so nervous. They make you feel at ease not only myself as the parent but my 3 year who is terrified of everyone. Great experience at this office and will continue to bring my children here. Thank you!

Scheduling appointments have never been an issue. The staff is quick and efficient and takes great care of my kids. They also give parents tips to help reluctant teeth brushers! I’ve seen a few dentists there over the years and have never had any concerns. Very pleased with them!

Had a great experience there for my daughter’s first dental visit. They are pros with hesitant/anxious children and normalized how common it is. Super friendly staff.
Dr. Klarck was wonderful!

Dr. Talati is amazing. Our son was in pain and swollen over the weekend and she was able to get him treated the very next day after evaluation. She truly cares about her little patients. Thank you!

Always a great visit. They get three of my kids in all at once and it goes so smoothly. My kids love Dr.Bilunas! She puts them at ease and they never complain about having to visit the dentist.

Everyone was so kind from the 1st phone call I made to our amazing new dentist (my daughter prefers a female dentist, she was so happy to meet her new dentist) to the balloon she got on the way out. Plus, the technology is much more advanced compared to our previous pediatric dental office. Thank you so much!
