Take a tour of our office before your first visit.
We are proud to offer dental services for special needs patients. It is important to us that each and every patient feels comfortable coming to the dentist.
The most common anesthetic we use is a local anesthetic. This blocks pain in a specific area of the mouth. We often apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area before we give the injection.
Testimonials
Dr. Verma and his staff are fantastic. We have been going to Star Pediatric for over 6 years and we are always greeted with smiles and kindness. Everyone is patient and does a great job keeping the kids at ease.
My son had an emergency one evening and Dr Verma met us at his office after hours. They really care about their patients and always go above and beyond. Highly recommend Star Pediatric Dentistry. You won't be disappointed.
I am so glad I found Star Pediatric Dentistry of Manalapan! My son had a bad experience at another dentist and we were recommended to them. The minute we walked in you can tell they get kids. Everyone there from calling to set up the appointment to the waiting room were all so nice and professional. My son has anxiety and both the dental assistant Jessica and Dr.Donohue was so great with him( and my 1 year old who was with us). They were so friendly and patient with them and explained everything. We already scheduled our next appt for him and her first dental appointment. Again I’m so impressed and happy we found this place!
My son has special needs (autistic) and at 8 years old has still never had a successful dental cleaning. That all changed today when we took him to Star Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Donohue and Ashley are AMAZING people . The staff was so patient and understanding of what he was comfortable with that he was willing to sit for a 45 minute cleaning, in 10 second increments. His teeth went from zero to hero in those 45 minutes. Despite not being able to truly verbally communicate, they were both able to set expectations, build trust with him, and respect his boundaries. (He was still wearing the blue exam gloves they gave him when we got home!)
As a parent, I am blown away by the professionalism, capability and compassion we saw today. This was just such a surprising and wonderful outcome, I would recommend anyone and everyone looking for pediatric dental care to drive however far they need to drive to get to this office.. particularly if you've had bad experiences in the past or a child with special circumstances.
THANK YOU, STAR PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY!
A Harvard educated doctor you can afford? Yes! Ask for Dr. Goldman… she is phenomenal and went above and beyond. Thorough, never rushed, and made sure I completely understood all aspects of the plan for my children. As a father of 4, my two little girls love her and my oldest (who has autism) needed some treatment and Dr. Goldman and her assistant could not have been more patient and fun. Her entire team is friendly, helpful, but most importantly, helpful! I refuse to go anywhere else!
The staff at Star Pediatric are excellent. My son was petrified of the dentist and wouldn’t even let other dentists look in his mouth but thanks to Star Pediatrics he’s not scared anymore and actually tells his friends how he loves his dentist. He even had surgery last year and everyone took such great care of him, I can’t give this office enough praises, they are all really wonderful.
