Dr. Parsons was kind, gentle and gave me many choices to fix my dental issues, and time to do so

You are looking at a woman who is totally terrified of dentists, caused by many bad experiences when I was young! I broke a tooth and knew I had no choice but to bite the bullet and get it fixed! I asked a friend where I should go and this is where she led me. I had a panic attack before going and did not sleep the night before. Let me tell you that from the moment I opened the door and stepped inside I saw welcoming staff that immediately assured me that I was in good hands. The front desk staff was actually treating me like a person and not just a name on a chart! I was surprised...still terrified but comforted. I met Dr. Parsons and was immediately struck by his relaxed and friendly manner. He immediately put me at ease and was very reassuring and supportive. Nothing like I had ever experienced before! He fixed the broken tooth before I realized it was finished! It was the BEST experience I have ever had! Pain?? What pain?? There was none! I was shocked! Went back in today and the same result! I finally feel like I can handle getting my dental health back on track! I recommend them to a friend, Michelle, who broke her front tooth and is more afraid then I was. She went in two days ago and had Dr. Clark. She called me raving about her happy experience and is actually looking forward to going back next week to get other maintenance started! Unbelievable!! I recommend Bethlehem Smiles to anyone who is looking for a dentist!! Everybody here is fantastic!!

My family has been going to Dr. Parsons for many years - through the little kids stage through teen years, and us as parents. The office is always so friendly and efficient, and Dr. Parsons is gentle, down to earth and very knowledgeable. They've been wonderful!

Staff here are very friendly and professional. They take the time to listen to you and the doctor gives you options to suit your situation. My whole family are patients here and even my 6 year old loves it.....no fear of the dentist here :). I recommend Bethlehem Smiles for your entire family's dental care.

I am so happy to have chosen Bethlehem Smiles as my choice of dentist. I usually see Dr Owens and she is wonderful - warm, kind, always a smile! But actually I find all the staff the same. The office exudes a warmth of caring and a well placed confidance in the expertise of the doctors, technicians and office staff. I actually find myself smiling when I walk into the office. The office decor is pleasant and clean. The furniture is inviting and comfortable. But best of all is the staff - everyone from the receptionist to the dentists. My previous dentist was also great in his experience, knowledge and made me very comfortable. However, I needed additional dental work and needed to find a dentist who was able to address all my dental needs. In addition, I was happy to find a dental office with multiple dentists providing more availability during the week if I should need it. I found everything my previous dentist provided and more!

These folks are not only top flight professionals but also extremely friendly and welcoming. I have been going to Bethlehem Smiles four times a year for many years and have never waited more than five minutes in the waiting room. I have referred other family members to them and they have been similarly impressed with the quality of the service that they have received.

The staff and dentists are amazing. They get you in quickly; especially when you are experiencing uncomfortable dental issues. They have a way of turning a stressful situation into a positive experience. Thank you so much.

I had a great experience at Bethlehem Smiles recently. My hygienist was very thorough and careful. She gave me a sample of a listerine mouthwash that I really enjoyed the experience using. I highly recommend this practice.

I met Dr. Parsons on my first visit to Bethlehem Smiles. Even as an adult I truly do have anxiety from childhood experiences with the dentist. I was able to express my anxieties and he was understanding and kind. Answers my questions, ask a few questions, and made the experience of going to the dentist less stress-filled. The staff is very kind, work with your schedule and make you feel welcome.
