Academy Kids Vision Central

We had such a great experience at Academy Kids Dental at Citadel Crossing today! From the moment we walked in, the team was welcoming, professional, and right on time—something that really matters with a busy schedule and a kiddo in tow. Dr. Becky was absolutely outstanding. She took the time to examine my son with genuine care and concern, making sure he felt comfortable the entire visit. You can tell she truly cares about kids and what she does—it made all the difference. The whole staff was friendly, courteous, and incredibly professional. It’s not always easy finding a dental office that’s both efficient and great with kids, but this place really checks all the boxes. Highly recommend Academy Kids Dental at Citadel Crossing if you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring dental team for your family!

My daughter had an emergency and the whole team here at Academy Kids were absolutely incredible. From start to finish, they took great care of my daughter and provided a plan of care that works. Highly recommend this team. Shout out to Dr. Issac’s & Damaris 🤘

My 7 year old needed a filling & my kids’ dad had to work, so I had to bring all 3 of my kids. My younger 2 were getting impatient & my 3 year old especially was losing it lol. I’m 8 months pregnant & was feeling so overwhelmed trying to hold my youngest & calm her down. One of the medical receptionists came over & offered to bring my kiddos some coloring pages & juice boxes. It immediately called them down. It truly takes a village & I am SO grateful for the help offered to me while we sit here in the waiting room waiting for my 7 year old to be brought out. Sooo grateful for the patience and compassion offered to me & my children this morning.

We witnessed a non-English-speaking toddler with Down syndrome being physically restrained during what appeared to be a simple exam, while staff attempted to “comfort” him in English. This was unnecessary and deeply concerning. The child was clearly distressed, and there did not appear to be any urgency that justified that level of force, especially after hearing the mother state she had no concerns and that her child maintains routine care. Situations like this require patience, adaptive communication, and child-appropriate techniques, not restraint as a first response. We know better. Modern care emphasizes trauma-informed approaches, especially for children, patients with disabilities, and those facing language barriers. What I saw felt outdated and unacceptable. Even my 15-year-old recognized something was wrong and left upset. That alone speaks volumes. You serve many Medicaid and underserved families. That responsibility requires a higher standard of compassion, respect, and professionalism. There is a clear need for additional training. Do better.

This place is amazing! They work around my chaotic schedule & are able to get 3 kids in the same day. The staff is also super friendly & kind. They take the time to get to know their patients and family. Dr. Turner and Eva remember my children and are super sweet & informative! We had an eye appointment today, but also think the dental team is equally as wonderful. Highly recommend this facility!
