Honestly, Dr. Rudolph deserves way more than five stars! I've been seeing her since 2011, and she's the only dentist I've ever had. The office in Tampa, FL is always spotless and welcoming, with TVs at each seat to help keep you calm. The staff is super kind and understanding too. As someone with ASD-1 and other disabilities, doctor visits can be really tough with too much sensory stuff, but they make it work. Their pediatric dental care really shows they get it.

After a few visits, my son finally let Dr. Rudolph clean plaque off his teeth and take X-rays in Tampa. The last time he needed X-rays, he had to be put under anesthesia, so this was huge for us both. Her staff is so patient and kind. If you've got a kid in Tampa who's defensive about anything near their mouth or has autism, you should check them out. Their sedation dentistry options might help too.

We're thrilled to hear about your son's progress with our Tampa team. Thanks for trusting us with his pediatric dental care. Looking forward to his next visit at South Tampa Pediatric Dentistry.

Our first visit to Dr. Rudolph in Tampa went really well. From the receptionist to the hygienist to Dr. Rudolph herself, everyone was kind, caring, and thorough. They answered all my questions and laid out a solid plan for the future. My 8-year-old was nervous but ended up doing great and left happy. As the daughter of an orthodontist, I really appreciate how they handle preventive care and appointments here.

My son always has a wonderful, caring experience at this Tampa dentist. Going to the dentist can be scary, but Dr. Rudolph and her team make it as fun and easy as possible. From the video consoles in the waiting room to the TVs on the ceiling and prize machines after, the kids feel totally at ease. It's clear they put a lot into making pediatric dental care comfortable.

I have been coming to Dr Rudolph office since my daughter is 6 month old, now 8 y/o. One of the things I love the most it’s the warm environment and the consistency of the visits, always smooth and time efficient. My daughter is happy coming to the dentist and I can’t ask for a better pediatric dentist. Thank you South Tampa Pediatric Dentistry.

The staff at Dr. Rudolph's office in Tampa are absolutely wonderful. They're friendly, caring, and patient with all their patients. The atmosphere is calm and inviting. Kids can focus on cartoons playing from the ceiling screen during appointments, which really helps make trips to the dentist successful. It's a great setup for anyone needing pediatric dental care around here.

Be warned, there's a total disregard for patient care here in Tampa. We tried to get a last cleaning in June so my daughter could go to college and establish a normal adult dentist by December when she returns. The office told me they didn't care—they'd graduated her four months ago when she was barely 17. She'd been a patient for years, but they just don't seem to care. I was beyond floored. Had I known, I never would've signed up. It always felt transactional, not like real emergency dental services or support.

We're sorry to hear about your experience in Tampa, FL. We take feedback seriously and will review our communication for emergency dental services and patient transitions. Thank you for bringing this to our attention at South Tampa Pediatric Dentistry.

We love Dr. Rudolph and her staff! Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. My son is 4 and has been going here since 18 months. Every visit is just like the one before, pleasant, calm, gentle.. I don’t think 1 tear has ever been shed! That is a big testament to everyone there. We son is now 5 and this is still the easiest appointment we have! We love Dr. Rudolph and all of her staff. 5 stars every time!

Years before my son was born, I spotted Dr. Rudolph's office while driving around Tampa and thought, 'That's where we'll go if I ever have a kid.' Fast forward a decade, and my 18-month-old just had his first visit! It was everything I hoped for and more. The waiting room has plush Rudolphs in every size and little video games that totally excited him. The receptionists were lovely, and the hygienists made his cleaning fun—he was involved every step. Dr. Rudolph was wonderful, examining his mouth gently during our first visit consultation.

We have been coming to Dr. Rudolph for over 10 years now and my son and I were both disappointed when we thought he would have to find a new dentist now that he’s turning 18. We were pleasantly surprised to learn at our visit today that he can continue to see her through his college years. Dr. Rudolph and her entire team are absolutely wonderful and have been amazing through all of his dental needs. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist.

Dr. Rudolph is the best! We've been going to her for years in Tampa. Every time, our kids are treated with kindness, patience, and compassion. She creates such a calm environment, even during procedures. Besides her great bedside manner, she's brilliant and practices evidence-based dentistry, so I know they're getting top care. It's obvious she and her team prioritize making kids comfortable and having a great experience. We love this practice!

Such a great place for kids. Lots of toys and Rudolph’s in the waiting room for kids to play with. All of the staff is super sweet and helpful. We had our second visit today and both appointments have been fun and easy for my three year old. My son loved receiving a token after his appointment to redeem at the treasure tower. :)
