Good to Grow Airway Pediatric Dentistry

We have been very pleased with the results from our daughter’s first phase of treatment. We started when she was 3 and really needed a “nervous child”friendly provider in order to be successful. Dr Ballinger and her team are exactly what we were looking for. The office is fun and welcoming, and all the staff including Dr Ballinger are very friendly and patient with little kids. I appreciated the very thorough consultation in the beginning with all the cost details, scans, discussions etc. Billing was simple and straightforward. I appreciate that Dr Ballinger is committed to being educated in airway dentistry, and being focused on this specific area of dentistry gives me confidence in her skills.

Dr. Lauren and the Good to Grow staff are very nice, but the quality of care diminished throughout the 18 months that we spent with the practice. My son’s treatment plan changed often without any explanation. This was very confusing, and I constantly felt the need to do my own research and self advocate. They also don’t have a good system for removing the fixed expanders, resulting in a traumatic experience for the child. We ended up leaving and seeking out a different provider.

My two kids had their first appointment here and loved the hygienist, Dianna as well as Dr. Lauren. The space is all kid friendly, including a play room in the back which kept one kid busy while the other got her cleaning. We chose Dr. Lauren due to her specializing in airway care and look forward to continuing services with her! This place is great for regular cleanings as well as more advanced oral and airway care!

Good to Grow dentistry and Dr. Lauren have been game changers for our three children. Our youngest son had years of speech therapy and sleep issues, with little progress. But that all changed with getting the proper orthodontic care. His speech and sleep are drastically improved now that his mouth has the proper space. The issues, we learned, are often structural. Thank you, Dr. Lauren!!!

My kids have been going to Dr. Lauren for the past 14 years, first as their primary pediatric dentist and most recently my daughter has been seeing her for airway orthodontics and overall dental cleanings and checkups. My daughter is not an easy patient and Dr. Lauren and her staff are the only ones we trust to work on her, they are patient and kind and have her best interest at all times. We could not be happier with the team and services at Good to Grow.
