Reviews of Rachelle Shaw, DDS (Doctor)

Erica Schmit

Suzanne, our dental hygienist, was the absolute sweetest and most patient with my 3.5 and 1.5 year old. Every single person in the office was so kind and helpful and made the experience so easy for myself and my kids. 1000% recommend this practice!

Four years later and we are still seeing Dr. Shaw and the amazing support staff at ABQ Pediatric Dentistry! Hands down the best, most caring and compassionate dentists for kids. Dr. Shaw loves what she does and educates parents and kids on how to take care of your teeth. Marie and Danielle provide excellent costumer service and Denise is a loving dental hygienist. No worries about the kids going to the treatment area for fillings, the kids are safe and the Dr. needs to perform her work with the kids without them being distracted with parents present. Also, this time allows kids to build trust and know that the dentist isn't scary. My kids always come out with a smile and a Popsicle. They tell me "mommy, it was great!" Thank you everyone at ABQ Pediatric Dentistry! Here is my original post from 2015.

If I could give Dr. Shaw 100 stars I would. She is the best, hands down. My kids have gone to her for over 15 years now and she has provided the best care we could have asked for. I also think very highly of her staff, always professional and willing to go the extra mile. She not only has taught my kids how to care for their teeth, she has done it with gentleness and love. They actually have always looked forward to seeing her, and for having boys that is an accomplishment. If you are looking for a top notch pediatric dentist, Dr. Shaw is the best in Albuquerque.

Friendly staff and my little one had fun with having her teeth cleaned. She even was able to play video games and see the tooth fairy!

Noel Horcasitas

Dr. Shaw always makes my boys feel like they are the one and only patients. She definitely gives everything her personal touch. I feel like she is a special member of our family. She always makes my special-needs son Sean feel comfortable and puts him at ease. It’s been 15+ years that my boys have been going to you. The office staff are also amazing — so polite and kind. Thanks for being such an amazing dentist through and through!

Dr. Shaw has taken care of my boys since they were 12 months old. They love going to her! She's passionate in her commitment to take care of the kids and she'll make sure the parents understands what to do to help give their little ones a beautiful smile from an early age. She is our modern day tooth fairy! Thank you for all you and your staff have done!

Chantal Galloway

The front office staff are very friendly and seem to genuinely be happy to see my son any time we have an appointment. Dr. Shaw and her clinical staff are great when working with my toddler. It can’t be easy easy, but they sure make it look that way.

I've been seeing Dr. Shaw over 10 years now. I love coming here though the dentist is terrifying, the staff is amazing and friendly. She teaches her patients how to better clean and keep healthy teeth. Not one complaint.

sarah murchison

The whole staff is so friendly. They took their time and explained everything to my kids and to me. We didn't feel rushed at all. Dr Shaw is very knowledgeable and I will be taking my three kids back to see them again!

Always very friendly. You can tell their staff really cares about the kiddos.

Dr. Shaw has been my son’s Dentist for the last 10 years. It’s a fun office, he loves going there. She and her staff have always done a great job making my son feel comfortable and answering all my questions. This is the place you want to take your children!!!!

Becky Vigil

We love Dr. Shaw and her staff. Our children have been seeing her for the last six years and our family adores her. Dr. Shaw and her staff are always very friendly, personable, and professional. We recommend her to all of our friends and couldn't imagine our kiddos seeing anyone else.

diane sholtis

Dr Shaw and her staff are so wonderful. My children have never been frightened in her office! They ❤ her!

Rose Soloperto

My son, who is 11 years old, has been a patient of Dr. Shaw's for 9 years. We tried several dentists before we found Dr. Shaw. After our first visit at age 2, my son has never had another cavity due to the wonderful instruction and care provided by Dr. Shaw and her staff. Everyone at ABQ Pediatric Dentistry is professional, welcoming, kind and caring. Dr. Shaw is an excellent dentist who understands the needs of her patients and it is very apparent she loves what she does! My son truly enjoys going in for his dental check-ups!

Kristy Townsend

My daughter's first dental appointment couldn't have gone any smoother. The staff were so nice and helpful and made my daughter and I feel comfortable from the moment we stepped into the office. They described everything so simply and made what could have been a traumatic experience enjoyable for my daughter. Highly recommend them!

Mary Elias

We have been going to Dr. Shaw for years, and every time we have had a great experience. My kids are always excited to go to their appointment. The staff is so gentle, patient, and kid-friendly. Dr. Shaw is so personable and very experienced. It's very easy to make an appointment. They also have the coolest waiting room ever!

Karen Edwards

This first visit with Dr. Shaw and everyone in her office was exceptional. They are all very kind and my grandson was very comfortable.

My daughter has been going there for over eight years and we love it there

Denise Padilla

We love going to Dr. Shaw's office. Marie and Danielle are so nice!

Jane Dunn

Amazing Staff! They did amazing with my 13 month twins first dental appointment!

Jada Ulibarri

Wow! What a blessing it's been to have found this pediatric dentist for my children. I'm writing this review from Dr. Shaw's waiting room because my kids keep begging "one more game" and with the rainy weather outside today, I may as well let them have some fun. When I was a child, going to the dentist was an absolute dread. With Dr. Shaw though, my kids look forward to getting their teeth cleaned. Everyone here is so nice, like we're old friends. My family has been coming for years and I highly recommend Dr. Shaw.

Alessandra Peluso

Dr. Shaw and her talented team are some of the most patient and dedicated medical professionals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My daughter is four and has been seeing Dr. Shaw for over a year. Trips to the dentist are filled with toys, games, prizes and smiles. This staff really knows how to make children relax. I get information on how to keep my kids mouth healthy and my daughter always walks away feeling proud of how good she is at brushing her teeth. My highest praise for the team, and my warmest thanks for Dr. Shaw, for starting my daughters dental health off right.

Leslie Wegrzynek

My 11 yr old has been seeing Dr. Shaw for many years. Knowledgeable & friendly staff! Awesome dentist & hygienist, great with my son. Office extremely kid friendly & comforting. A+++

Elisa Hollingsworth

We took our daughter for her first dentist visit and everyone in the office was so sweet and welcoming to make her feel welcome. She was extremely anxious and cried and Suzanne and Dr. Shaw both took their time and engaged her to make her feel more comfortable. We will definitely recommend Dr. Shaw and her team to our friends.

Ray Santiago

Dr. Shaw and her assistant were fantastic with our 4 year old. The assistant really made her feel comfortable. We appreciate her honest feed back on our daughters dental care. We came for a second opinion on our daughters extensive treament from another dentist. Dr Shaw did her initial exam then reviewed the previous dentists treatment and was very thorough on her findings and was even able to show us exactly what she was explaining to us. Needless to say, Dr Shaw is about our daughters dental health, her well being, and not about making unnecessary treatment for the buck. Glad we were able to find Dr. Shaw!

Heather Carson

Great experience. This was our son's first experience at a dentist and we were concerned on how he would do. Dr. Shaw and staff are amazing with children and make the office a warm and inviting place. He didn't want to leave!

Jenna Brooks

We were optimistic about scheduling an appointment at this office, especially after speaking with the receptionist who was very friendly and able to get us an appointment for our 4 year old quicky. However, we were disappointed to learn the day of the appointment that this office has a policy against allowing parents staying with their children for procedures such as fillings. We were not made aware of this policy at the time we made the appointment, and subsequently cancelled. While we can understand the reasoning we were given for the policy, we do not feel a child (especially a 4 year old) would be able to advocate for themselves adequately if needed, and therefore should not be without parents. Leaving this review so that other like minded families are aware of this policy.

Matt Spiva

She was awesome! Got us in and fixed my two year olds tooth the Same day. Thanks Dr. Shaw!

Alicia Sanasac

DDS Shaw and her staff are the best at making a child have a fun and safe dental experience. They relate very well to children and have entertainment and activities to keep you child engaged from the time you check in to the time you check out. Your child even gets to see the Tooth Fairy and gets a toy. If you want your child to have a good experience and enjoy the dentist, see DDS Shaw!

April Mashings

I feel fortunate to have found this great dentist for my son. Every visit has been so positive from start to finish. I always thought I'd have a hard time getting him to go into a dentist's office, but this place is so nice that he actually never wants to leave!

Tyler Bouton

I have been taking my four children to Dr. Shaw and her staff for 13 years. The are on time, great with the kids, and keep my kids' teeth healthy. I am always able to get an appointment and they are absolutely professional.

Linda Taylor

Wonderful experience from entering the office to checking out. Knowledgeable, helpful, and honest, and everyone was extremely helpful. So happy we found Dr. Shaw!!

Rose J

Great dental practice. The staff is always friendly, very efficient. My kiddo used to get really anxious during dental visits and would cry every time. I switched to Dr. Shaw's practice and I haven't had an issue at any of our visits. My youngest goes here also and both of my kiddos look forward to their dentist visits. What a change from how they used to view the dentist! I am so glad I found these guys.

Tanya Rivers

Dr Shaw & her staff are great with my kids. We have been seeing her for 2 years & my kids look forward to going to the dentist! Fun games in the lobby & patient rooms.

Abra Altman

By far, the best dentist in Albuquerque. We have been going to Dr. Shaw for years. The office is a lot of fun for the kids, with video game for them to play while we wait. The staff is helpful and polite and if you listen to everything Dr. Shaw tells you, your kids will have healthy teeth that won't require a lot of dental work. She gives great advice! You would be crazy to take your kids to anyone else.

Mary Martinez

Dr. Shaw has been the pediatric dentist for all three of my children for many years. The entire experience is always great! We are greeted warmly and never have to wait. Everyone is warm and kind. None of my children have ever experienced any anxiety over their visits. They actually enjoy their visits!

Julie Sanchez

Doctor Rachelle Shaw and her staff are wounderful in every way. When you walk into the office you are treated with kindness and the upmost respect. The staff is prompt and professional. When we have had dental emergencies over the years, we were taken care of immediately and skillfully. Our son will graduate from high school this years. The staff has taken a sincere interest in him over the years. His dental health care has been exemplary. With Gratitude I thank you for making the dentist visits a pleasant experience throughout his young life.

Tim Ashburn

Extremely friendly and professional dentist and dental staff. I highly recommend ABQ Pediatric Dentistry and Doctor Shaw.

Rebekah Ray

From reception to Hygenist to Dr. Shaw to checkout..Flawless. Offices like these make you expect more from ALL doctors. Quick and easy, the reception area is adorable. No doubt they know exactly how to distract and soothe babies and kids. Don’t hesitate, this is the dentist you want for your kids.

We had a visit at the dentist yesterday with my 3 year old son. I was a little apprehensive at first because he was scheduled to have two fillings done. From the moment we walked into Dr Shaw's office I was put to ease. Her front office staff explained everything fully regarding the insurance and our copay. The assistant that came to get our son was very friendly. He took her hand and went back to the exam room with barely a glance over his shoulder towards me. When his treatment was complete he came out smiling with a new toy and a frozen fruit pop that he was very excited about. I was so proud of him but more then that he was very proud of himself. It was much easier then I ever anticipated. Cavities are not fun but when you have a great pediatric dentist like we have found in Dr Shaw and her staff, they are not a problem. We will step it up with our hygiene and watching our son's juice intake but if treatment is ever needed in the future, it won't be a worry. Thanks Dr Shaw and Staff for another great experience in your office.

Kostiantyn Dreval

Today was our daughter's first dentist appointment. It went very well! My daughter loved it so much! I have mentioned, that the place is very kids-friendly, and most importantly the staff is so so so so great! Definitely recommend! UPD. We came back for the teeth treatment and my daughter loves the place even more!

Todd M

The entire office is really great with kids and they have provided our children with excellent dental care.

Dr Shaw, whom we have seen, is the best! And she doesn’t gas the children.

rebecca tuton

Dr. Shaw is amazing!! My child’s dental experience is 100% different than his last dentist and I’m forever grateful for this. It’s due to the kindness and patience Dr. Shaw and her experienced staff shows each and every family. Jax looks forward to the dentist and we believed Dr. Shaw is a fair and trustworthy dentist which shows from her diligence and caring work! I can’t say enough great things about this office

Lace Lucero

All the staff and Dr. Shaw are super friendly and amazing with my kiddo. I was impressed with Dr. Shaw, she really put me and my child at ease. I tend to be a worrier. Didn’t try to push unnecessary treatment and was able to get us in right away. So thankful we found her!

Deb G

Gentle with the kids and is patient. Encourages my son to be who he is and take care of his teeth

Brittany Padilla

This office is amazing! From the front desk staff to the assistants and Dr. Shaw, herself. My son has been cared for so well and even when he gets scared he is able to hold a hand which helps him calm down. They are truly wonderful and 1000 times better then the last detal office we used.

bianca borg

I literally threatened my 3 year old by saying, “If you’re not good you can’t go to the dentist tomorrow,” and she was an angel. Enough said. The staff is wonderful, and the waiting room can’t be beat!

Casey Soto

My 3-year-old fell and knocked her front tooth out at 4:45pm on a Friday. Dr. Shaw stayed late to see us at the last minute and fit us in for a follow up the next week. She was calm and helpful and my daughter was happy and laughing by the time we left.

Susan Hewatt

Dr. Shaw and her staff are so wonderful! They always take such good care of my daughter every visit. There is no better pediatric dentist around and we are so lucky to have her!

S Col

My 2 year old is very shy and tends to get over stimulated easily, and that goes to say she isn’t the easiest of toddlers to deal with. Dr. Shaw is more than patient with her. She treats us with kindness and professionalism each and every time we see her. The office is clean and the waiting room is truly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. All the staff we have encountered have been so welcoming and kind. I would 100% recommend Dr.Shaw to anyone looking for an amazing pediatric dentist.

Brenda Catanach

We've been going to Dr Shaw for about 10 years! The kids love her and her staff. Dr. Shaw and her staff are amazing! Quick, friendly and thorough

Aubrey Jackson

My 11 and 3 year old both love Dr.Shaw and her hygienists. They are so gentle and kind to the kids and their office is fun for younger as well as older kids. I was a patient of Dr. Shaw’s over 20 years ago and she was as great then as she is now.

Laura Rose

Both of my kids (14 & 10yrs) have been going to Dr. Shaw since they got all of their baby teeth. She is terrific and told me about an issue with my son's jaw that my pediatrician never mentioned.

Nicole Tull

She is an amazing dentist! I've been taking my children there since they were two. I will not take them anywhere else, the staff is so friendly always making our visits so comfortable.

M Munoz

Dr. Shaw was awesome in calming my three year old down when he got extremely scared with his teeth cleaning. She knew just how to talk to him. She explained to him how she'd clean his teeth and showed him on his nail how her device would feel. My son calmed down and allowed her to proceed with his cleaning. The rest of the staff was very understand and help eased the situation as well.

Antonette Manzo

My son loves his new dentist

Kristy Zyburo

I was a patient of Dr. Shaw and always remember having a positive experience. My son is now a patient! I highly recommend this office firstly because Dr. Shaw is experienced and has an excellent "bedside" manner and secondly because the office is very clean and has the latest technology for the kiddos to feel comfortable and excited to see the dentist.

JL SEDILLO

I've taken my two sons to Dr. Shaw for years. Service has always been excellent.

Michael Fanning

Dr. Shaw has always taken excellent care of my daughter! I look forward to seeing her and her entire staff when we go to appointments!

Hien Tran

My 19 month old was happy to play while waiting for the providers and he let them do his cleaning and check up without any issues

Morgan Overton

Always a stellar experience coming to Dr. Shaw. Our son had his 6 year old molars growing in and they managed to wrangle him down for a sealant treatment at the very end of the day/visit. I don't know how it's done, and I'm just pleased I'm not the one having to try to maneuver him to get any of the treatments done!

A Google User

I don't think there is a better pediatric dentistry practice around. Dr. Shaw and her staff have vast experience with kids and kids' teeth, so I completely trust them to guide my family in providing the best dental care for my kids.

Angela Sena

Elijah loves visiting Dr. Shaw’s! Best staff ever Marie, Danielle and Suzanne Thank you

Kelly Bradshaw

My children have been under the care of Dr Shaw for over a decade! She has seen my children through all adolescent trials up to and including routine check-ups, pulling baby teeth, and a particularly bad fall my daughter took to her face. Dr Shaw has the best staff on board. I've never been displeased with her dental techs. My favorite staff members are Marie, who greets me at the front desk and Danielle, whom I see at the end while making final payments and future appointments.

Valerie Rosenthal

Always prompt and professional. My kids really like their visits and they always take care of our issues promptly! Great dentist!

Amber Hayes

My daughters have been followed by Dr. Shaw since they've grown teeth. They love going to the dentist and their dental care is top notch. No cavities! Great developmental guidance. Really nice, pediatric dentistry practice, who know how to support and care for kids, with specialty training. It makes a difference.

zerzurajv

Great dental office for kids. I've been taking my kids there for years and have never had a problem. Everyone there is always really nice and professional.

My 2 year old daughter had a great experience. She actually asked me to go back to see the dentist and tooth fairy, the very next day! The whole team was amazing.
