Trust our family to care for yours.

Our practice has deep roots in San Diego. It began with Dr. Howard Dixon, who is a patriarch of Pediatric Dentistry in San Diego and has been treating the children of the community for over 50 years, building a reputation for gentle, trusted care. Today, the legacy continues with his son and daughter-in-law, Drs. Eric and Stephanie Dixon.

While we are proud of our history, we are even more excited about our future. We have recently relocated to a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in Pacific Highlands Ranch (Carmel Valley / Del Mar). Although our address has changed to 6101 Village Way, our core values haven't. We remain a 100% family-owned and operated practice—not a corporate chain. When you visit Cali KiDDS, you are trusting our family to take care of yours.
