I had such a wonderful experience with staff of Dr. Smith's office, but an absolutely horrible experience with Dr. Smith himself. After getting x-rays done at my first appointment, I left the office with pain in two places in my mouth due to the placement of the bitewings. The pain in the two places in my mouth where the bitewing was located, soon turned into incredibly painful and large ulcers. I called the Dr. Smith's office a few days later to explain about the ulcers in my mouth and to ask if I could receive any type of medicine to deal with the horrible pain. Instead of assuring me right away that I could receive help, Dr. Smith called me to tell me that I "wrong" about having mouth pain from his office and that in all his years of working with patients, none ever got mouth sores from him. He sounded incredibly defensive and angry with me as I was on the phone with him just trying to get relief. I apologized and said I wasn't trying to offend him but that I was just stating the facts as to what I experienced and what happened at the previous appointment. Dr. Smith continued to ruthlessly cut me off and try to prove to me that I got the ulcers elsewhere and not from my experience. The way in which he spoke to me was horrible and I have never been spoken to like that by a health care professional before. Needless to say, I will not return to Dr. Smith's office again and would advise others to do the same.

First time I had a chnace to do a review. I have been a patient of Dr Smith for over 10 years now. Dr Smith and his team are wonderful. He has been there for me when I didn't have a dentist and a fractured tooth. He fit me in seemelessly, and provide me with excellent care and advice. His team is just as exceptional, doing their jobs well while providing a friendly atmosphere. This entire practice engenders trust and styaisfaction.
I cannot recommend Dr Smith enough.

It is obvious that their office is cleaned regularly. It was fantastic. They went out of their way to make me feel special and respected, and were very sympathetic to my situation. I've never seen more kindness and empathy anywhere else. It's always uncomfortable having to sit through a dental procedure when they use really cold or hot water to rinse your teeth, but they didn't do that here. They made sure that I was comfortable with the water's temperature. They are completely committed to helping me as long as it takes to find the best solution. I never have to worry that they'll back out or give up if a solution isn't reached immediately, which has been a problem for me at other places. Just as a side note, I was very impressed with how conveniently located this business was and how close it was to other shopping centers. It was so easy to find, I didn't have any trouble at all.
