Meet Our Doctors...

to work with children each and every day.
Drs. Collier, Rao and Zimmerman strive to make each appointment
a great experience for patients and parents focusing on creating healthy habits for a lifetime of beautiful smiles.
We are here for you and your child. From the time your child grows their first tooth until they are ready to move on to an adult dentist, our doctors and their team will help care for and protect your child’s smile. Because children are so different from adults, we take a unique approach to every patient. We treat our patients as if they were our own and we want each visit to be a fun, educational visit.

Read what our patients and their parents say about us...
“We came to this clinic for a second opinion after a not so great experience at another pediatric dentist. I can’t brag more about the amazing staff here!!! My daughter was made to feel so comfortable. After the experience we had at the other place this was a breath of fresh air. We look forward to continuing all our girls dentistry here!”

“We love Koala Dental! All my kids love Dr. Dave - he is funny and amazing with them! I remember growing up I hated the dentist! It's so nice that my kids actually get excited to go to the dentist :) Keep up the good work!!!”
- Tarina L., google
“My kids have seen Dr. Rao for the past 8 years. She is so smart, kind and caring. She takes the time to explain everything. She goes above and beyond when thinking about any complex issues that could be going on. I’m so thankful we found her years ago. All the staff is so great with the kids. I highly recommend taking your children here”
