Special Professional Interests
I realized pediatric dentistry was my calling after practicing general dentistry for 3 years and was not happy with adult dentistry. Treating kids brings me so much joy and happiness. We dance, sing, share stories and jokes and it’s such an ecstatic moment when they leave the office with huge smiles and are genuinely happy to be at the dentist.

Dentist is amazing. Talks to the kids in their language to make sure they understand what they can do to help their teeth health

We love Dr Joseph (hopefully I spelled it correctly) she is awesome! The only dentist my kids have ever seen and they love going to the dentist! Answers any and all questions amd really engages with the kids when she is checking their teeth.

We love Dr Joseph's and her team! None of my kids have dentist anxiety and I attribute that to her and the hygienists .

The care this dentist gives for her patients is just unbelievable! My daughter has no enamel and has trauma to her two front teeth, but she does not like anyone looking at her teeth. She screams and fights, but after ALWAYS says it's not that bad. She is three and just loves the dentist and staff. Does not like the process, but after how they just show her care, and attention makes up for all of it. Truly grateful to go somewhere that my daughter likes, and I can feel like they are really there to help my daughter and not make me feel bad she is screaming or crying. Just words can't express my gratitude.

Dr. Joseph's has been our pediatric dentist for all of our children for the last 12 years and she is fantastic! She is knowledgeable, personable, and professional. We would recommend her to anyone!
