5-Star Experience
Our dedicated pediatric team has earned thousands of authentic five-star ratings from real families living across the Tampa neighborhood and surrounding school zones,
Dr Tate is the best. I had different experiences with my older kids with other doctors but with dr Tate they fully relaxed about dentists appointments. We just did tooth treatment and removed one molar for my 6 year old daughter and everything went super smooth and fast. Really appreciate it. When my daughter refused to remove tooth on the same day with the treatment of the other tooth dr Tate was very nice and not pushy and my daughter agreed to come next time and today we removed her tooth and she is very happy. So important to have a good nice dentist with whom kids feel safe and calm.
Our family could not be more grateful for this office. Having three younger children on the spectrum, I know how overwhelming dental visits can be, but this team has gone above and beyond every single time. They are patient, kind, and intentional with every detail, from explaining what’s happening in a way my kids can understand, to creating a calm and supportive environment that makes them feel safe.
They treat each child as an individual, never rushing, and always celebrating even the small wins. I’ve watched my kids build confidence here, and what could have been stressful appointments have turned into positive experiences. It’s rare to find a place where both the parents and the children leave feeling supported, but this office and I do mean every single team member, manages to do it every visit.
If you are looking for a pediatric dentist who truly understands children with special needs and provides outstanding care, I can’t recommend them enough. Five stars is not enough for the level of care and compassion they provide.
I was looking for a place for my kids to go and I found a place that cares and loves the people that come through the door. I felt welcome from right when I walk in to the Doctor taking there time and explaining what need to be done for my kids to get back to a healthy smile. I would recommend this place every time.
Honestly can’t say enough about how amazing our experience was. Smile Cove is perfect…every aspect of our visit made us feel welcomed and made my little one feel comfortable. Thank you for treating us like family and we can’t wait for the next visit!
