“I wanted once more to weigh in with a thank you for all the time, concern and care you’ve put in thus far and are continuing to put in to help Jack and us. Most kids believe for a while that there is a tooth faerie, but Jack actually has one...and it’s YOU! More like a tooth angel, really, come to earth in the guise of a doctor.”

“If you or your child are hesitant about their upcoming dentist visit, we HIGHLY recommend Dr Sara Fikree, the awesome pediatric dentist who comes to your home!!! We just had our daughter’s first dental check up ever (she is almost 2) and could not be happier with Dr. Fikree’s home visit. The doctor was super prompt, came on the dot at the scheduled time, (talk about fitting things into your busy schedule- no commute and zero wait time for your family, and if you have other kids/babies at home- no need to drag them with you!)
The visit, exam, and cleaning itself was completely trauma free, with puppets, fun dentist tools to examine and play with before they go in the child’s mouth, songs, laughs, and lots of useful info and advice for the parents. Such a hassle free, fun and positive dental visit experience!”

“We had a great experience with Dr. Sara - a common sense approach to pediatric dentistry combined with warmth, love, puppets and house calls! Because our 24-month-old watched Dr. Sara’s videos first (she watched them like a million times), she was excited to meet the dentist. The cleaning took place on my lap at our kitchen table. Our daughter cried during the cleaning, but quickly recovered and without any prompting from us, she gave Dr. Sara a big hug afterwards. I could tell that while our daughter wasn’t thrilled about dental work, she totally trusted Dr. Sara. It was our daughter’s first dental visit. I should add that we don’t have dental insurance for our daughter, so no matter where we went, we’d have had to pay out-of-pocket. I thought what Dr. Sara charged was very reasonable - and worth it. Even though we will be able to put our daughter on insurance in the fall, we will probably keep seeing Dr. Sara for at least a year. I just can’t imagine taking this tiny human to a big dental office. She’s not ready and since Dr. Sara makes house calls, she doesn’t have to be!”

“Dr Sara house calls was a wonderful first dental experience for my 21 month old son. Being at home was a great advantage and her care and attention with pre videos, puppets and teddy dinosaur with teeth was such a great way to engage my son and prepare him for his own check up. Highly recommend her. She is warm, friendly and very professional.”

“I cannot recommend Dr. Sara Fikree highly enough. She is a wonderful clinician who is also gentle and empathic with her young patients. My son is on the autism spectrum, and she understands him, is patient and kind with him, and clearly enjoys seeing and treating him. She is thorough and goes way above and beyond for her patients and their parents, even maneuvering through tricky aspects of the health care system on behalf of parents when they need it. I am grateful to have found Dr. Fikree, and my son will second my words when I saw that we will never go to anyone else. If you’re reading this because you’re looking for a talented and caring pediatric dentist, you’ve found her!”

“My 3 year old son does *not* open his mouth for our family dentist, so we made an appointment with Dr. Sara (also a mom to young kids), hoping she’d have better luck with him. The day before our appointment, she sent us an adorable video to show our son to prepare. She came to our apartment, brought all of her tools (and her puppet dental assistant!), and made my son feel comfortable right away!! Everything went smoothly during the visit and cleaning. Dr. Sara spoke with us afterward about dental health and then emailed us a summary of our visit and how we should proceed to take care of his teeth and gums! Our son now lets me brush his teeth for a minute before he gets to, all because Dr. Sara said so.”

“Are you looking for a wonderful Dentist in Park Slope who visits you at home? I have so many wonderful things to say about Dr. Sara Fikree! My son was always very anxious when we’d visit a dentist in the office. They weren’t always very patient and attentive and he could sense that. In this being, when I came across Dr. Sara I automatically jumped at the chance for her to come and visit our home and examine our son. She arrived with smiles, putting us all at ease. With her were puppets and she played our son a video that he was intrigued by. She had him lay down and with little complaints allowed her to “count his teeth”. She’s very patient and really told him about the process which obviously helped ease his anxiety. It was really a good experience that made him realize how important it is to take care of his teeth. We love “counting” teeth now. After the appointment, she sent us a summary of the visit and her recommendations. ”
