Cloud Nine Reviews

Haihong Z.

I’m so happy to have found Little Cloud Pediatric Dentistry for my daughters. The clinic is super clean, well-organized, and beautifully designed. The staff are professional and kind, and even my little one had an amazing experience. Dr. Rachel is very experienced and provided me with lots of helpful information on how to care for my child’s dental health. The kids also loved getting toys and stickers. I highly recommend this clinic to any families looking for excellent pediatric dental care!

Sandra M.

Loved Nico’s first dental visit ever! We had an AMAZING experience and can't wait to go back in a few months for a checkup! Thank you Doctor Rachel and the Little Cloud team ❤️We felt so welcomed and baby Nico couldn't stop smiling! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Anne C.

We had a great experience at Little Cloud. Marielle and Dr. Rachel were so kind and patient with our toddler boys, taking the time to show them all the tools before starting. When it came time for the cleaning, they were quick, gentle, and made the whole process easy. I also loved how they explained cavity prevention to our kids. The little prize vending machines at the end were a huge hit! So glad we found such a thoughtful and kid-friendly dentist. Highly recommend!

Nicole A.

We had a wonderful experience at Little Cloud. On the day we were there they had their resident service dog there and it made all the difference in calming my daughter’s nerves. She left with a big smile talking about how nice everyone was. Thanks Dr. Rachel and team!

Julie B.

What a special place Dr. Rachel and her staff have created at Little Cloud.  The place is beyond inviting, clean, new, BEAUTIFUL!  It was such a relief for me to bring my 22 month old (shy and sensitive) toddler here.  They had her favorite movie playing, and engaged me with me from the start of exactly what would be happening, that by the time it happened it was all over in an ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle.  I look forward to my baby girl coming here as she grows into a tween.  Thanks again to everyone at Little Cloud.

Julia F.

We had a terrific experience for our baby's first dental appointment. Dr. Rachel and her team were so caring, thorough, and patient. They made the appointment fun for our son and gave us great advice to help with his dental care at home. We look forward to continuing to go to Little Cloud!

Julia S.

We had the best experience at Little Cloud Pediatric Dentistry in Lafayette! Dr. Rachel is absolutely fantastic — so kind, patient, and wonderful with my young daughter. The front office staff was just as amazing — warm, helpful, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The aesthetic of the practice is seriously the cutest I’ve ever seen! They got us in same day for an emergency appointment, and we left feeling so cared for and reassured. We’ll absolutely be switching here for all of our regular visits and telling all our friends to do the same. So grateful to have found this gem! 🌈🦷✨

Jagriti B.

An amazing practice from start to finish! The reception staff are warm and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere is calm and caring. Our child has severe anxiety and special needs, and usually dental visits are very stressful.But Dr. Rachel is truly outstanding—patient, empathetic, and incredibly skilled. She made him feel safe and allowed the exam without distress. This is by far the most positive dental experience we have ever had, and I would highly recommend Dr. Rachel and her team to any family, especially those with children who have special needs or anxiety. They’ve created a truly caring environment where every patient is treated with compassion.

Mari C.

My 2-yo daughter had her first dentist appointment here and it couldn’t have gone any better. The patience, kindness and directness displayed by the whole staff was exceptional. Additionally, the atmosphere is so well done! Everything is on theme in the nicest way to the clouds, making it both enjoyable for the kids and parents. Dr. Rachel really did an awesome job making what could be a scary place feel like a fun outing!

Carly P.

We had the best experience with Dr. Rachel! She saw my three sons and was wonderful with each of them. She was patient, kind, and took the time to explain everything clearly to me about their dental health and potential procedures they may need in the future. Her office is unbelievable - welcoming and kid-friendly, which really helped my boys feel comfortable. The dental assistants were awesome too; gentle, friendly, and professional. We’re so grateful to have found Little Cloud!

Ashley G.

We had an amazin experience here! I took my 1 year old daughter here for her first dental appointment. Dr. Rachel was very kind, professional, and made us feel comfortable. My daughter got to play with their therapy dog, Pearl, which was so fun for her (and me)! The office has really cute decor and fun books and games in the waiting area. Overall, it was a great expericence and highly recommend them!

Justin P.

This place is awesome.  We took our 14 month old here for his first dental visit.  It was a excellent experience.  Highly recommend.  They are friendly,  knowledgeable, and most importantly really great with our son.

Had my Daughters First appointment! She is one year old and they did such a really good job! Everything looks new and welcoming! Will be back for sure! Dr Rachel and the Staffs are all really nice and informative!

Justin F.

Our family’s experience at Little Cloud Pediatric Dentistry exceeded expectations. The entire staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, and the cloud-themed office was impressive. We appreciated Dr. Forer’s detailed knowledge of our children’s medical histories and we’re all looking forward to hopefully meeting her therapy dogs at the next visit!

Fabiola G.

Dr. Forer is amazing! The quality of care, patience, and attention to detail make Dr. Forer an excellent pediatric dentist. She took time to make sure my child understood what was being done and explained all the tools she was going to use. That along with being able to watch his favorite show while having the procedure done made the visit a breeze! The office is light and airy  with lots of attention to detail and her staff is always so welcoming. And Pearl the therapy dog made our visit that much more enjoyable.

Alison P.

Dr. Rachel is a special person! I trained with her at UCSF and was always impressed with her warm personality, dedication to her patients and love of pediatric dentistry. Her office was designed with every detail in mind to make your child's visit as comfortable as possible. I took my two littles here a few weeks ago and they loved Dr. Rachel and her beautiful office.

Teddi T.

This office is amazing! The decor is so cute and welcoming to families and you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. All the staff are so friendly. Dr. Rachel is a specialist in children’s dentistry and is so informative and nice! And they have a super cute therapy dog named Pearl. I wouldn’t take my kids anywhere else!

Meliza O.

What a fantastic office! Dr. Rachel and her team make going to the dentist feel safe, comfortable, and fun. The location is easy to get to, has ample parking, and is thoughtfully designed to be super kid-friendly. We look forward to our next dentist appointment!

We are very happy with our Little Cloud experience! Dr Rachel and crew were so kind and welcoming.  My son is on the spectrum and it was his very first dental appointment, Dr Rachel and everyone at Little Cloud were so patient and accommodating to his needs which we appreciate so much. The office itself is so cute and comforting which is also a big plus.
