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!

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.

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!

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.
