Felica A.
“Fantastic! Super charming, professional, efficient. My nervous little hypochondriac went in there terrified, and the calm, cool staff at BR pediatric dentistry set her at ease and pulled two teeth in what felt like seconds. Lovely miniature train set, as well! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
Jeffrey S.
“My boys are 5 & 7 so we have years of experience with Doctor Dan and his staff. We moved to Black Mountain 4 years ago but it’s worth the drive for our children to have a good dental experience. Always a great atmosphere, everyone goes above and beyond to make sure our children feel safe and comfortable. Doctor Dan not only did our sons dental surgery but also personally reached out to us to check on our son after he had surgery! That meant a lot! Great place, Maggie is just the cherry on top🐾”
Jolea E.
“Did some work the office recently and the staff was so kind and friendly I knew I could trust them with my daughters first dentist appointment the visit was very pleasant and really felt like family from all the staff we encountered they even had a cute dog to comfort my little girl in her visit if I could give 10 stars I would !”
Andrew C.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family has been going to Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry for many years, and we truly couldn’t imagine a better dental home for our kids. Dr. Dan is absolutely wonderful — his silly sense of humor instantly puts both kids and parents at ease, and he has a natural way of making dental visits fun instead of stressful. Maggie the dental dog is always a huge hit and adds such a special, comforting touch! The entire staff is amazing — consistently kind, patient, polite, and incredibly detailed when explaining everything. You can truly tell how much they care about their patients and families. We are so grateful for the exceptional care our children receive here and highly recommend Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry to anyone looking for a positive, welcoming, and professional pediatric dental experience.💙🦷🐾”
April W.
“Five star review here. Dr Dan was very thorough. The staff and Dr Dan review past appointments, what we need to work on presently, and what we need to prepare for or expect for future appointments. This makes me as a parent feel more connected to his oral care. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. My son loves the train that travels throughout the entire office. You can tell a lot of thought was put into making the kids' and parents' experiences the best in the country. I challenge you to find a more caring dentist or hygienist or receptionist than those you will find at Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry. Thank you Dr Dan”
Joanna S.
“Dr. Dan and staff are incredible! My son is truly excited to see them every appointment! He loves watching the train going around the facility while we wait and while he is being tended to by the staff. Most of all the Dr. Dan will reward his patients with a coin (sometimes a silver dollar, sometimes a half dollar) regardless the extra encouragement for my kiddo is INCREDIBLE!!! Another coin for his collection. It's our 3rd visit, NO NEW CAVITIES!! Thank you Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry”
Kimberly B.
“My 15 month old’s first dentist appt went really great today! 😊 He loved the train in the waiting room, staff was friendly and professional, answered all our questions, and the little toothbrush bag they send home with him is so cute. Thanks guys! We look forward to coming back soon! 🦷 🪥 👨🏻⚕️”

Vanessa N.
“Our experience at Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry has been nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we walked in, the entire staff made us feel welcome and at ease. The office is clean, inviting, and clearly designed with kids in mind, which really helped to calm any nerves. Dr. Dan is truly amazing with children—patient, kind, and incredibly skilled. They take the time to explain everything in a way that's easy for kids (and parents!) to understand, and their gentle approach makes dental visits something my children actually look forward to. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure a positive experience, from the friendly receptionist to the caring hygienists. They’ve created a wonderful atmosphere where kids feel safe and cared for.”
Jamie W.
“We have been with Blue Ridge Pediatrics for years. We've got one last visit with them before my youngest goes to the "adult" dentist and it will be a bitter sweet moment. This team has made our "scary" dentist visits seem fun and exciting. If there wasn't an age limit, we'd stay with them forever. Couldn't recommend a better dentist!!!!!”
Aley V.
“Both my girls go to the dentist at this clinic. Girls go for treatment or consultation with great pleasure. Very nice atmosphere and very good staff. Many thanks to Dr. Dan for the work done, and for the gift from the tooth fairy. Thank you for a pleasant visit.”

“McKenna absolutely loves Dr Dan!! We have been coming here since she was a baby and the experience has only gotten better with time. We are here for extractions today and they are fabulous with her!!”
Mckenna T.
“My seven year old had his first checkup visit here yesterday and it couldn't have gone better. After checking in we waited barely three minutes before being called back for X-Rays. He's struggled with getting them in the past, but with the staff's help he was able to get his done within minutes, and without any resistance or stress. The cleaning and exam were just as easy. I think we were in and out within 30 minutes. Highly recommended—we will definitely be back.”
Adam R.
“Dr Dan was really kind to my three year old and answered all of my questions. My son came in scared and left happy.”
Allison R.
“We love this place!! Every time we come we are treated so kind, everything that’s going on is explained in a way I understand and it’s just overall an enjoyable place to come! My son has been coming here since he had teeth and my daughter just had her first appointment. Dr. Dan and his staff are superb!! My 6 year old had to get some fillings and is not scared at all. The treatment is excellent. My children both get a sweet little dentist pack filled with fun things at the end of the appointment. I seriously can’t say enough great things about this business and the people who run it.”
Megan K.
“Best pediatric dentist my kids and I have experienced. My daughter has been going since she was 4. She loves it. Dr. Dan and the staff is great.”
Tina M.
“Wow. This office has it figured out with children. New patients getting a gift bag already has my son excited to go to the dentist. The doctor as well as the entire team of hygienists and staff are sweet and helpful. What a comfortable environment to bring your child for their first dental experience. Couldn’t be happier with my child’s first few dental appointments here.”
Debz C.
“Dr.Dan is an excellent dentist. He is very knowledgeable, gentle, and to top it all off…he is bilingual. Fluent in Spanish! What a hidden gem this office was for us! He and his team made us feel comfortable during our appointment. The doctor's attention to detail in patient care during the initial visit/exam and cleaning was very helpful. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dentist in the area! Muchas gracias Dr.Dan!”

Meredith L.
“My 6 year old had 3 teeth pulled today and it was the best possible experience we could have had. Christy was extremely patient with her and made sure my daughter was comfortable and Dr Dan was so great too. Dr Dan and Christy explained every step in a way that my daughter would understand. We received a service that is incredibly hard to find in a doctors office. The front office staff we all so great as well. I would recommend this dentist office 100000% to anyone.”
Hope V.
“We love coming here! Dr Dan is very professional and knows his stuff! I trust his decisions when it comes to my childrens teeth! Christy is the best dental assistant I have ever met! One of my kids always has her and she is hands down the best there is! Always makes the kids feel comfortable and has the most positive attitude!”
Theresa R.
“We have had nothing but wonderful experiences here. The staff is absolutely amazing and we love Dr. Dan. One time we accidentally showed up an hour earlier than our scheduled appointment time and they worked to go ahead and get us in. My daughter just had a cavity filled there and was so nervous, but Christy instantly calmed her down and made her smile. I’m convinced you won’t find a better pediatric dentist!”
Kerrie C.
“Absolutely love love this office. Dr. Dan is amazing and so kind and honest. Love the girls in his office they make my sons feel comfortable even being so scared! Shout out to Melissa for keeping me calm in a stressful situation!”
Shelby P.
“We love Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry! The staff are all so friendly and really take the time to make the dental visit fun. I have a six year old who LOVES going to the dentist and an almost two years old who isn't quite sure about it yet (but loves the train that travels along the ceiling throughout the office!) With each of my children Dr. Dan and the staff take the time to talk with us explaining what they will be doing and even what it will feel like. I am so glad we chose Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry.”
Lacey R.
“Blue Ridge Pediatrics is a great dentist. My two kids have been going there since they were six months old, they are now five and three. Every time I have had a concern about their teeth they was able to get me in the office in a reasonable time. The staff there is amazing and makes everyone feel welcome. My kids have no problem going back by them selves. I would recommend BRPD to anyone I know.”
Steven O.
“Dr Dan and Julie at Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry has taken care of both of my children for the last 15 years. They are truly fantastic. We love their staff, and Dr. Dan has given them both excellent dental care through their childhood.”
Terri C.
“I took my grandson to Dr. K., after being referred there by another dentist. Our experience was fantastic! The office was clean and the décor... excellent!! Bright colors and the train make for a wonderland for the children! The staff were all kind and eager to make my grandson feel relaxed. It is important to me that he have no bad feelings or fear towards gong to the dentist like I have. Dr. K was friendly and welcoming with my questions. I would refer this office/staff to all my friends and look forward to our next visit, as I get a kick out of watching the children play in the waiting room!”
Victoria B.
“I have a 3 year old and we just had our second visit. My child has had great experiences both times. My child actually looked forward to going this past visit. Dr. Dan and the staff is so friendly, make us and our child feel comfortable and give good advice on how to keep our child's mouth healthy. The train is a big hit with my child and all the extra effort they put into making it fun for kids. I highly recommend them.”
Robin M.
“We have had wonderful experiences here. They do have the bells and whistles which is nice when you're dealing with kids! My three children love the train! It is also nice that there is a TV above the chairs for distraction during cleanings. Their hygentists are all amazing. Very friendly and down to earth. I like the option of having the open room for multiple siblings. They are super accommodating--one of my kids was feeling nervous so they took us to a private room to do the cleanings. My favorite thing about Blue Ridge is that I have never had to wait for more than 5 minutes to be seen. Most often, they call us back to the chair before I can even finish the paperwork! Their text/email system is a huge benefit to me, I never forget appointments because of it. I also REALLY like that they schedule the next appointment for you--no juggling kids and bags and purses and a phone trying to pick a date six months into the future. Each kid gets a little swag bag too--which is a bonus! All in all I highly recommend Blue Ridge!”
Maribeth S.
“We had a great experience with my son's first visit to the dentist! Everyone was friendly and professional, the wait was nothing, the waiting room was fun for my son for the minute we were in there. The doctor explained everything to me and answered all my questions. The most important thing to me was that my son felt safe, and because he was so young they let him sit on my lap and lay back into the doctor's lap while he brushed his teeth and gave him a fluoride treatment. There was a TV on the ceiling above the chair for the older kids that played cartoons. I would recommend them to anyone with kids!”
Joy P.
“Wonderful atmosphere and kind staff. I was able to take both my children back at the same time which really helps when making appointments. My oldest son has sensory issues and they were very accommodating to him. We will be going back for both my sons regularly appointments. Highly recommend this office.”
Chris J.
“Always a wonderful time, every assistant is kind and Dr. Dan rocks!”
Morgan S.
“We left another peds dentist that we used to go to and went to Dr. Dan on some other friends' recommendations. My 5 yr old had a great experience here. The staff is super kind and professional. She got her X-rays done without any drama. Dr. Dan chatted with her and made her feel special. As a parent, I appreciate all of this but was also impressed with how quickly they got us in, did her exam, and had us on our way back to work and school in no time. My girl was excited to talk about her trip to the dentist at show & share at school!”
Buffy S.
“This is the best pediatric dentist I have ever had the pleasure of taking my kids too. I did shop around some before I chose them but I'm so glad we did. For both my kids they are extremely kind, caring, understanding and make your kids feel like they had a happy experience even when they are scared.They both love this dentist !! I would recommend 100 stars if I could!!”
Brittany M.
“Awesome skilled dentist (❤️ Dr. Dan) and pristine beautiful office with movable train for decoration. Very appealing for youngsters. Great staff. Gentle with kids. Lots of good distraction when needed (iPad, TV cartoon on ceiling, etc.) & they have the most adorable sweet therapy dog to alleviate kids’ anxiety. Parents allowed to accompany kids. Don’t go anywhere else. Our kids never complain about going to the dentist. 5 stars!”
Ann B.
“This was my first time coming to this office, and I can't rave enough about the amazing staff at this location. My five year old Layla had her first tooth extraction and the experience was nothing more than professional and helpful above and beyond. I walked in trusting the staff and wiping away mom tears as my little one left for the operation room, and at the end of the process I couldn't have been more reassured the process would be nothing more than smooth. Thank you dan knechtel and your staff.”
Brittany G.
“I am so happy we found Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry. The first thing you notice when you walk in is how bright, cheery, and clean it is! We were greated right away by a very friendly woman at the front desk. Check in only took a few minutes and they were able to get my daughter started with taking X-rays while I did paper work. Our hygienist was so sweet and gave us lots of information and advise while we waited for the doctor. Dr. Knechtel was so nice and gave us a treatment plan and answered all my questions. My daughter was so comfortable the entire time. They really do everything they can to make it a special experience for your child. We came here for a second opinion and I'm so glad we did!”
April H.
“My daughter isn’t a little toddler. She’s 9 but has lots of fear around dentistry. This office made a huge difference for her! The therapy dog & the warm welcome made her feel much more comfortable. Also the hygienist explained each thing she was doing in a very kind way, which my daughter liked also.”
Liz R.
“The best dentist by far my children are comfortable and relaxed every time they go. The visit’s go smoothly and quickly they have got a great system set up. Dr. Dan and his staff are a great group and offer amazing care for my children I am so thankful for them.”

“We always have a GREAT experience. My girls are always excited to go to the dentist, and cheer when I tell them it’s time for a check up. That speaks volumes to me.

Emily H.
“I cannot say good enough things about Blue Ridge Ped. Dentistry! My son is terrified of any kind of checkup. This office and the staff, I feel like, go out of the way to make sure the environment is appropriate and welcoming to all littles. This year he was actually willing to go to his checkup because he is so comfortable here! The staff laugh and give the littlest time to get comfortable, they are also super quick and thorough. I think we were there for 15 min total for his 5 year old checkup today. WOW. If you’re looking for a great place to take your kids, this is it. We will never go anywhere else!”
Sarah F.
“This is the most amazing dental experience you will ever have. The atmosphere, staff, and level of medical service are superior. Dr. Knechtel and his team have thought of everything from a working train track on the ceiling to TVs and a gold dollar coin after every visit. My kids love going to the dentist and it’s because they have had such a great experience here. I love that we get a picture every time we come to Mark the occasion and remind us of our next visit as well.”
Tracy H.
“My son has been going to Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry for over a year and he/we love them!! You are NOT just a patient account number here. They know your name when you come and have recognized us after just a few visits. Christy spent time talking to my LO about things he likes while also telling him exactly what she is doing while cleaning his teeth! She is awesome! Thankful for how on top of things this clinic is!”
Kathryn K.
“I have been taking my two sons to see Dr. Knechtel and his wonderful staff for over a year. They are very professional while maintaining a relaxed, fun, and comfortable environment that keeps my children at ease. One of the things I appreciate the most is a how well organized the visit is for us. We are always in and out in a timely fashion which helps keep my two wild boys from getting fussy and wild. We really love Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry!”
Chi G.
“Dr. Knechtel and his staff are AMAZING! Our daughter was terrified of going to the dentist until we found Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry. Now she can't wait to go! It's about an hour drive for us to their office, but is the trip is well worth while! We couldn't ask for a better pediatric dentistry team, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing dental experience for their child.”
Allie N.
“My son had his first dental visit here this month and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for him! The staff was super friendly and very helpful! They helped him feel so comfortable! I had no issues or stress during the visit and neither did my son! I am one super proud Mama! Thank you to all of the staff at Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry!!!! We will see y’all in December 😁 -Amanda Hoilman and Family”
Amanda B.
“My son had his first dentist appointment with Doctor Dan last week! Between the Dental Hygienist Valerie and Doctor Dan they both made my now 1 year old very comfortable. They took their time and didn't rush him to check his teeth/gums. They did it at his pace which I LOVED because it made my baby more comfortable. They both had him smiling and laughing. I loved how they gave him his own little goody bag with tooth paste, a tooth brush, lots of stickers and Doctor Dan gave him a coin to put in his piggy bank. I thought they were all SOO helpful and I'm very excited that I choose Blue Ridge Pediatric for my 1 year olds Dentist! Can't wait for his next visit!”
Jessica G.
“We choose Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry based on other mom's recommendations, and our daughter's first appointment, 12 months old, was great! The staff was very nice. Dr. Knechtel was very gentle and kind. Lovely and clean facility. Convenient location.”
Rachel K.
“We are forever grateful for the kind staff at Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry. Our daughter had to have 4 teeth extracted. She was so nervous. The staff and Dr. Dan were amazing. Kind words, gentle approach, along with great "bedside" manners made our child feel at ease. They worked with my crazy schedule and were sweet to follow up with a phone call later that day checking on Lydia and her progress. I highly recommend BRPD for any child! Lydia loves them and we look forward to having our youngest child become a patient. Thank you BRPD!”
Cynthia R.
“I cannot say enough about Dr. Knechtel and his staff. They are all so very nice and friendly! We are always in and out very quickly and most importantly they are WONDERFUL with kids. My daughter just turned 6 and has been a patient there for a little over 6 months now and she loves the dentist. She's been for 2 cleanings and a sealant procedure. She periodically asks if she can can go back to the dentist.... If that's not a sign they are doing something right, I'm not sure what is!!! We were refer by my "adult" dentist who will see children, but when it was thought she may need a filling, he sent us to the best. I myself am irrationally terrified of dentistry so I am so glad to have found a great dentist that my daughter likes and who makes dentistry fun, easy, and not the least bit scary!!!”
Michele M.
“It’s always been a great visit when my kids have appointment. The staff are always friendly and welcoming! I most definitely appreciate the office for preventative measures such providing masks if you don’t have one, hand sanitizer and so much more. My kids actually look forward to going to the dentist!”
Raven P.
“We had a great experience at Blue Ridge Pediatric. The office staff is so friendly. After having a bad experience at our previous dentist, it was so refreshing to be treated so well. The kids had a good experience and talked about the dentist for the rest of the day. The dentist himself came out to the waiting room to introduce himself to me and was very friendly and explained things well concerning my kids.”
Katie D.
“Today was my son’s 1st ever dentist appointment, the office was very clean! Staff were all very nice! Dr Dan is the man! I was referred by Jaxons pediatrician, and I’m SO GLAD! We can’t wait until our next visit!”
Katie G.
“My 3 year old son had been complaining of pain with one certain tooth. Dr. Knechtel and his staff were able to see him the same day I called and they were able to do his cleaning in the same visit! Because of the staffs attention to detail with small gifts for my son,TV's playing stuff he likes, magazines he likes in the waiting room...he actually likes to visit the dentist. I would highly recommend Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry to any family!”
Ben E.
“Dr. Knechtel was wonderful in putting everyone at ease (parents included!) Our son loves going there because of the video screens on ceiling and getting a little care package at the end of every visit. He and his staff are super considerate and caring as well as great with kids. We really appreciate all that they do. Highly recommend as a pediatric dentist.”
Anastasia I.
“My kiddos were treated so kindly. I’ve never seen such compassion in a dental office towards dental anxiety. The staff met my children where they were and calmly guided them through the process. My kids keep telling everyone how kind their dentist was today.”
R W.
“We took our son here for his very first dentist appointment and it was a wonderful experience. I can't believe I just said the dentist was wonderful, but it was! The staff were all very friendly and answered all my questions. My son actually had fun and asked if he could go back. I highly reccomend Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry.”
Emily E.
“My daughter is terrified of the dentist, and when we recently found ourselves without a dentist when hers closed, I was afraid of starting all over. However, this experience was by FAR the best one we have ever had. Dan Knechtel is very patient and understanding of kids. I believe he fully understands that kids are going to be naturally nervous of the dentist. My daughter had the best visit. In fact I was more nervous that she was. For the first time I do not dread the next dental visit .”
Amanda O.
“As far as dentists go this place is great. I'd recommend to anyone with a child to give them a shot. The assistants are great and dr. Knechtel is kind. They are patient with my toddler and she always gets her picture taken and stickers and stuff. The waiting room is nice and has a pretty cool toy train that travels through the office lol”
Arenda P.
“Today was my 6 year old sons first visit at Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry. My son has special needs, so it is very hard to find a dentist suited to his needs. From the first phone call to Blue Ridge Pediatric, there staff members were kind and willing to help. When we arrived at the office they were all kind and very in tune to his needs. They have I pads and tablets for the kids to use, and tv's to watch . The dentist fully explained what needed to be done for my son and was compassionateof his needs and very knowledgeable about what was best. I highly recommend Blue Ridge Pediatric to all families and especially to special needs families. Thanks for your kindness .”

“Great experience with my 5 year old. While in the office she was very nervous. Christy was very calming, and explained everything that would happen. Dr Dan worked quickly (which is important to an impatient 5 year old). She was a little emotional after the procedure, but Maggie (the most precious pup) cheered her right up!”
Koline R.
“Our daughters have both been under Dr. Knechtel care for over a year and I have been very pleased with the staff and doctor. He has taken time to explain special instructions upon examining x-rays, as well as the staff making a new patient referral to orthodontist. I will be suggesting this pediatric dentist to friends and family.”

Shaina H.
“My 5 year old daughter had a dental infection and it was causing her quite a bit of pain. DR. Dan called me back on a sunday and told me to bring her at 7:45 the next morning. She didnt even have an appt. He made sure she was cared for immediately. No wait. The staff were so supportive and nurturing for my daughter. Great team.”

Dr. Knechtel was very involved in the whole process and really made my boys feel comfortable and special. Thank you!”

Rachel G.
“We were at BRPD today for six month visit. What a great experience. All the staff were professional and very comforting for my 5 year old. I would highly recommend this practice to any one with children. Especially if they or you are apprehensive about taking your child to the dentist.”
Lori S.
“5 stars for Dr. Knechtel and the staff at Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry! After having a bad experience at another office, my 4 year old daughter was terrified to go back to the dentist. But her fears were completely relieved at Dr. Knechtel's office... The staff were so kind and caring, they let my husband and I both stay right by our daughter's side while having two cavities filled. They talked us through every step of the procedure and the visit went off without a single tear being shed. In fact, we all left smiling, my daughter with a new toothbrush and 'prizes' in hand, and me with the reassured feeling that we have found our daughter's new dentist - hopefully for years to come. Dr. Knechtel even called us at home himself later that day to see how our daughter was doing - and he was so sincere and genuine. This was above and beyond my expectation. Thank you Dr. Knechtel and your awesome staff!”
Laura P.
“We had our first visit on Monday. Great office decor; brightly colored walls, flat screen TV's and open rooms. It was really neat and cool for kids. The staff was very friendly and child oriented. We found a keeper for our new dentistry. Thank you for the great experience.”
Darrin S.
“We are new to the area and was recommended to see Dr. Knechtel by our pediatrician. I have a 7 year old and 5 year old. On the day of their appointment, I was sick so my mom brought them. Dr. Knechtel was very accommodating and his staff was very personable and helpful. Not only did he tend to my mom and update her, he got on the phone and updated me as well. Not only did he talk to me at the time of the appointment, he called back a few days later. I am very happy with BRPD. The most important thing is that my kids love it here. You can't say that about many.”
Wendy C.
“This Is the greatest pediatric dentistry ever!!! They take the time to get to know the child.. Really nice office and the staff is oh so people friendly and nice. My daughter was so scared of dentist until we started coming here. It's great and the BEST!!!”

“Wow, what a great experience! I transferred my daughter to Dr. Knechtel a couple of years ago when the previous dentist recommended taking my child to the hospital for a couple of cavities. Dr. Knechtel and his staff worked with my daughter and me, to slow the cavities down so that she wouldn’t have to get treatment under general anesthesia. Just the other week, Dr. Dan finished fixing the last cavity –without needing to go under general anesthesia. By working with us and each visit and my daughter feeling more comfortable at the dentists’ office, Dr. Knechtel was able to complete the treatment. Thanks so much to Dr. Knechtel and his office staff.”

“My six year old son is VERY wiggly, as well as apprehensive about the dentist. Dr. Knechtel & his staff are very patient with him, explaining everything as they go. Since we began coming to Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry, it is no longer a scary experience for him. I'm so glad we found them!”

Jenny F.
“My son was referred to Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry from our Family Dentist. From the first phone call in to make our appointment to the most recent visit today, we are very pleased with the Dr. Knetchel and his staff. Dr. Knetchel makes you feel very comfortable in the office and makes sure your child gets special attention. I was very nervous about Colson's procedure, but Dr. Knetchel made sure all of my questions were answered. After having 2 dental procedures, Dr. Knetchel called during the afternoon to check on Colson and see how he did afterwards. One neat thing that Dr. Knetchel does is give the kids gold coins, and Colson thinks it's the coolest thing ever!! Thanks for making Colson's dentist visits fun and enjoyable! We just completed our second dental procedure today and I am thankful that the "tough" dentist appointments are over. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist, we highly recommend Blue Ridge Pediatric Dentistry.”

Each person that had contact with us was friendly and made our experience a positive one. Thank you all for making going to the dentist a fun experience sure wish I could come to you guys as well. Dr. Knechtel and staff you guys rock!!! Thank you for all you do. April and Levi”

All of the staff was great, helpful, and very kind!! We cant wait for our next appointment.... I would highly recommend this dental office to anyone who is searching for one for their little ones.”
Eric C.
“My six year old and I are extremely pleased with our dentist. They not only remember our names, but they seem to remember our upcoming vacations, etc, that we spoke about at appointments six months prior. I feel like we are being serviced by a family friend.”
Ashley L.
“I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Knechtel last week when my 6 year old had to have extensive dental surgery. We had seen a previous dentist for the same issues over 2 years ago. The experience made me feel uncomfortable about the process of surgery and ashamed because he needed surgery in the first place. Unfortunately, delaying seeing the dentist did more damage. Dr. Knechtel was the opposite. He made me feel at ease and provided us with exactly what he needed and why. He answered all our questions in language we understood. We were also given several ways to help improve his dental health. I am so thankful to have a dentist that specializes in the treatment of children. Not everyone is meant to be in a profession that involves children. A good pediatric dentist needs to be able to speak softly and make our little ones feel at ease. Dr. Knechtel treats you as a person and not just a patient. I am glad to say the surgery went well. My little man took it like a champ. Dr. Knechtel gave him a t-shirt and a gold coin (which of course was from the tooth fairy). If you are looking for a dentist that is great with children and wants to partner with you to better your child’s teeth you need to meet the team for yourself.”
Carrie P.
“We love Dr. Knechtel and all the girls that work with him. As a grandmother raising 2 small grandsons, I had no idea where to take the boys, all I knew was that I had a very bad experience as a child with a Dentist and I did not want that to happen with the boys. I started out taking them to another Dentist in Asheville and Jacob was scared to death, he was going to need several teeth capped and was going to have to be put to sleep to have it done, well, one of those teeth started hurting before his appointment so the old Dentist referred us to Blue Ridge Pediatric....made an appointment for the next day, Dr. Knechtel fixed the tooth that was hurting and he also said that he could cap Jacob's other teeth without putting him to sleep, I thought...'NO WAY"....So, we went back on a scheduled day, I was doubtful, nervous and figured it would be a bad experience...boy was I wrong!!! He capped his teeth, no tears, Jacob was a little nervous but they talked to him and he calmed right down....so Dr. Knechtel and his staff are my hero's....Jacob went to the Dentist yesterday and had a tooth filled...no tears...didn't have that dread of going at all...So, this place...this Dentist and the staff....are AWESOME!!! Jacob and Lucas Autrey (Biddix)”

“Mykena has been to Dr. Knechtel only two times. She is not a patient that a Dr wants to see coming. However he was always patient and talked to her in a caring manner and tried to keep her calm. This past week she had to have dental surgery which included alot of work. He and his staff made this a easy process for both of us. I feel mykena was very well taken care of and i couldnt have asked for better care. We hope to be long time patients.”
Crystal S.
“We moved from Atlanta to Asheville, and had not obtained a dentist for our children yet. My daughter had an accident and broke one of her permanent teeth. It was on a Friday when most providers are closed. I frantically searched the internet, and called Dr. Knechtel. He actually answered the phone himself and took a personal interest from the moment we talked. He immediately referred me to a specialist and called them for me, and gave me the information. ON HIS DAY OFF! It impressed me so much that I took both my children in for their six month check. We have seen Dr. Knechtel several times for regular check-ups and various procedures. He is very sensitive to my children's individual needs and personalities. From my very first impression, and continued experiences with Dr. Knechtel I can highly recommend him and his staff.”
