Cedar Park Pediatric Dentistry

Wonderful office! Sometimes when there are a lot of females working together there can be a negative vibe but it seems like everyone genuinely enjoys their job and each other and that translates to the patient care. Dr. Vasut is friendly and great with my toddler! I recommend this office all the time when someone is looking for a pediatric dentist!

Cedar Park Pediatric Dentistry is simply the best! They are kind, caring, and professional. Their staff has been very helpful. We had had no issues with billing and/​or insurance. Thank you, Dr. Sam Alzayat and Dr. Bert Vasut!

Our son had his very first dental appointment today, at four yrs old. I am SO GLAD a friend recommended this practice! They were amazing with him! From the very first, «Hi, Guys!» greeting at the front door (like they were glad to be there, and glad to have us there, too!) to the sweet folks who cleaned & X-​rayed, to the dr whondid not give us a hard time (or even mention!) our preference for no fluoride or sealants. Seriously, this was a great experience all the way around for mom & child. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Been taking my daughter here for years and to be honest she always enjoyed being seen here. I lost my job recently which caused a complete restructuring of our children’s care, our insurance, financial situation, etc. Somehow during this transition we managed to miss two appointments in the same year (the first in February and now again in September) and we are now no longer welcome here. It’s an unfortunate situation. I truly can’t recall any other appointment for my wife, my children or myself that we have ever missed anywhere else. There was no warning after the first time or when making the second appointment and there was no call after the second missed appointment. I called a few hours after the appointment to apologize and reschedule and was told that a letter had already been sent to my insurance to notify them. I understand that they need patients to show up to their appointments but how about reminder calls or emails or texts? Happy to have moved on.

New to Austin and would highly recommend Dr. Bert. He was very welcoming and my 3yr got along very well. The nursing staff was so kind and gentle too.

The staff is friendly, and the care seems good. My issue is billing. On two separate occasions, I have been quoted one price then hit with another, higher price. One time can be a mistake, two times is a pattern. In the first instance they used a fluoride treatment on my son, but he spit it out. Billed anyway, then did it again next visit without my knowledge. No big deal, I trusted them. But then charged me an extra $ 50 because insurance only covers it once per year. I asked why I was not informed, and was told «We don’t let insurance companies tell us how to treat our patients». Ok, cool, but if you know it will cost ME extra, you darn well better tell me since I’m the dude paying!
Next visit is my daughter, and now it gets pricey. She needs an expander. I’m told it’s $ 1,400, and I have to pay half ($ 700) up front. Ok, I pay it. Procedure done, then I get billed for another $ 250. Not surprisingly, I inquire as to why. I’m told my insurance only allows them to bill $ 900, so they can only collect half of the $ 900 ($ 450) from them, but I have to pay the rest based on their $ 1,400 charge. But wait! If you are in my network, and you agree to accept $ 900, then you should accept $ 900. Instead they want to collect an additional amount on top of what they agreed upon with both me and the insurance company. Not cool, no matter how you slice it.
Bottom line is that the care is probably ok, but never doubt for one minute that it is a profit centered business. Your child is a number, and that number is preceded by a dollar sign.

I’d like to begin with Dr. Vasut has been seeing my daughter since she was 1 – 2 years of age. She is now graduating from high school in June. Because of his great bedside manner and dental knowledge we have followed him and stay with him even when insurance said he was not covered. His services and staff are caring and set your mind at ease for your children’s dental care. Because she is 18, she will also be graduating to an adult dentist, but I have 2 younger kids that will remain in his care. Love this office like family!

LOVE Dr. Vasut and his staff. Friendly, helpful and quick appointments EVERY TIME. 3 kids with a fourth otw, he will have another patient once she gets a tooth.

All three of my children (now young adults) have seen Dr. Vasut since 1996 and we are huge fans. My daughter had orthodontia and we were very pleased with that whole process (as pleased as a girl can be with braces, anyway!). Our eldest has autism and, while fairly healthy dentally, is a challenging patient. This morning, he had to undergo anesthesia for a deep cleaning and X-​rays and the entire staff accommodated our special needs. They contract with a dental anesthesiologist so that the patients go to the regular, familiar office with people who know them. Dr. Sam Alyat treated my son’s work today. It was our first time to meet Dr. Sam and we loved him. He really went out of the way for us but didn’t act as if we had inconvenienced him at all. We are extremely grateful to the entire team.

They did really well with an active 3 year old boy, however I was told over the phone the initial visit would consist of an exam and cleaning at no cost (to help familiarize children 3 and under with the office). While we were there, they took a full set of x-​rays as part of the visit and didn’t attempt a cleaning. The hygienist told me there’s a good chance he has some cavities. Then Dr. Sam did an exam and said his teeth look great. At check-​out we were billed $ 100 for the x-​rays. It’s generous of them to provide a complimentary exam, however I just wish we would have known we would be paying for x-​rays (for no reason) so we could have been prepared. She clarified at check-​out only the exam and cleaning are complimentary and fluoride, x-​rays, etc were our responsibility. Just a little more information ahead of time (when I specifically asked) or a heads up at the time of treatment would have been helpful. Just walked away with a bad feeling which makes it hard to want to go back.

Great hygienist and orthodontic staff, conservative approach to dentistry, and friendly office staff have kept us coming back for the past 8 years. Both of my daughters have also had orthodontia done here. I really couldn’t speak of a pediatric dentistry office more highly than this one. Even though we live in Pflugerville, I have no qualms about traveling to Cedar Park for a great dental office!

We have been taking our kiddo there for the last four years and are very happy with the customer service and price.

I have been taking my children to Dr. Vasut since the youngest was 3 and the oldest 5. They are now 18 and 20, and «graduated» from the pediatric dentist! I have had a wonderful experience with both Dr. Vasut and his staff. They retain staff for many years, which is a sign of a thriving and healthy practice. I had a child who refused to open his mouth for my old dentist, but loved to go to see Dr. Vasut and his staff. Plus, by carefully pulling teeth as new ones came in, we avoided braces entirely for both of my children, saving me a LOT of money.

My kids have been seeing Dr. Vasut since we moved to the area in ’05. His staff is always extremely friendly and Dr. Vasut very kind and great with the kids. But… He’s on the expensive side and does not accept all insurance. His billing person, Monica, often seems clueless about billing codes and she’s inflexible and not open to suggestion. I’m starting to reconsider the value of services ($ 150 to pull a very loose tooth??) as compared to others in the area. But if money is not a consideration, he has state of the art technology and takes the time to explain processes and procedures. He also doesn’t respond directly to concerns that are emailed or snail mailed to them, rather he refers them back to Monica. It’s like he’s afraid to alienate a parent but he doesn’t mind if Monica does it. When you corner him he’ll talk, but one should not have to corner him to have a frank conversation with him. I should also add that I have NEVER been discouraged from accompanying my kids during their procedures except when my young son was placed in the «teen» area, but that only happened once and I’ve been in the «teen» area since then.

These guys are awesome pediatric dentists. They take great care of my 3 year old son and I also have a ton of people I know rave about how good they are. Great friendly staff and Dr. Vasut has always been very helpful, personable, and informative

My neighbor recommended this dentist for my toddler. I called and got an appointment for his first checkup the same day, which worked well for us. All the paperwork was available to me ahead of time online, which was convenient.
When we arrived, we were greeted by the receptionist who was very friendly and courteous. My son loved the waiting room, which had books, a hand puppet, cool stools to climb on and off, and a video game console that had cool visuals and audio.
We were called back promptly and met with a hygienist for a quick consult, before meeting Dr. Bert. He is a very warm and friendly man. He chatted with us for a minute and then we went back to the exam room for a quick brush and fluoride treatment. Dr. Bert then did an exam and we were done! In and out in less than 20 minutes.
We liked this place a lot. We’ll be going back in six months for his next checkup.
