Coastal Pediatric Dentistry - James A. Forester DDS 620 California Boulevard, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

"Dr. Forester and his team are the best! Can't imagine having a better pediatric dentist for my family. Friendly, patient, thorough, disarming, exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and the list goes on! Their facility is state of the art and I know that Dr. Forester and his team will always have the best and most current solutions for our kids dental needs. I only wish that they took care of adult teeth too! :)"

"Sometimes I can hardly believe we have access to such an amazing pediatric dentist office here in little SLO. My two youngest children have been part of this practice for several years now; my daughter had a great orthodontia experience with Healthy Start retainers, and my son, who has cerebral palsy, has always been treated with so much friendliness and compassion that this is one doctor’s visit we never have to dread. As a parent, it’s a relief to know that I have this phenomenal team to rely on for my kids’ dental health. Thank you all!"

"We had such an amazing visit with Dr Natalie and her Dental Assistant, Katrina. She had so much fun with Katrina and loved that she even stuck around to take pictures with us! Compared to our previous dental visit at another clinic, I could feel the difference as soon as we walked in. Judging by how well my toddler did, I could tell she was so much more comfortable and open to an exam. We left with a reusable shopping bag filled with a toy, toothbrush, toothpaste and an adorable certificate with my daughter's picture printed on it. We really felt the care in the office and I'm happy to make the switch."

"Amazing dentist office. I've been coming here for about 10 yeyears. Dr. Forrester is amazing and takes the time to answer your questions. The office space is engaging for children of all ages and interests. The staff is amazing as well. I love that they go all out with theme days and holiday cheer which makes it a fun place for kids. You may even see the tooth fairy make an appearance. Recently my son was particularly interested in the toy teeth in his exam room and enjoyed brushing them. You can't go wrong with this office."

"Dr. Forester is so kind and great with our kids. He gets on their level and makes sure they understand him. He always makes sure to discuss all of the options available with our children's dental treatment and is professional and friendly. All the staff are friendly and inviting, and they treat our kids with respect, gentleness and kindness. They are also trained in making balloon animals so the kids get a fun surprise at the end of each visit! We moved during the pandemic and as a result have been to another pediatric dental provider in the area, and they do not allow parents in the room while they are doing dental work. This was incredibly traumatizing for my youngest son. Dr. Forester allows parents to stay in the room with their children and we have found this makes a huge difference in their overall dental experience and keeping it positive for future visits. We are so happy to be back at his practice and to be under his care. We trust Dr. Forester and are very grateful for his pediatric expertise!"
