My first dental checkup in a lot of years after a bad experience was at Seymour Dental , and it was outstanding . Dr. Haley and her team made the multipal visits pain free, quick, and with a boat load of compassion and caring. The facility is clean and very well managed from the front desk to the back proceedure rooms, never rushed , and Dr. Haley spent a great deal of time explaining the proceedure to me in detail and allowed me time for many questions. I strongly suggest that you give them a call if you are in need of quality care and compassion. Not to mention she is a Knoxville native from South Knoxville.

I think her name was Dr. Julian but I have only been to this location one time. So I apologize if the name is wrong but I am new to the area and needed to establish a new dentist. Dr. Julian was very kind, caring and professional, as was her whole staff.

Very friendly and professional staff (everyone from the Receptionist, the Hygienist, office staff, and Drs. Corey and Haley). Excellent dental care. Drs. Corey and Haley took the time to visit with us and answer any questions that we had. My wife and I highly recommend Seymour Dental Associates.

Clean, efficient, thorough and spot on with their diagnosis and treatment planning. I could have used a provider that was in my insurance network but felt they will be more cost effective in the long run by giving the proper care I need to ensure I have excellent oral health care! As a retired dental professional, I am "picky"! They were excellent and I would recommend them to anyone that wants a very fair and kind professional practice! And I thank Dr. Corey for his service in to our country in the Navy!

My only regret is not coming here sooner. Everyone I know uses this office, and for obvious reasons. Not only are you greeted with the friendly front employees, it only gets better. If you want to go to an office where you feel like family, and trust the opinions and directions of the Dr's and staff, LOOK NO FURTHER. This will be the last Debtist you use. There is a reason everyone recommended the Smith's to me, and now I understand why.

I have been seeing Dr. Doug Smith and his staff for a very long time. I am 30 years old and I started going to their practice when I was a teenager. I have never had a bad experience. My sister would always see Dr. Cathy Smith and she also never had a bad experience. The staff are friendly and inviting. Most of them have been working there the entire time I have been coming, and that's says a lot on how Doug and Cathy run their business. Recently I had a choice on where I was going to take my 5 year old son for his first appointment, and I'm glad I decided to bring him to my dentist instead of a pediatric dentist. They are patient and interactive with him. So far he has had 2 cleanings, 1 cavity filling, and zero meltdowns. I highly recommend their practice if you are looking for a long term dentist.

From the cordial, efficient front office personnel to the dentists, we always have a wonderful experience at Seymour (Smiths') Dental Office. Bethany did an exceptional job--thorough, professional, efficient, and pleasant. Consultation with Dr. Doug was great, as always. Kim always takes care of my insurance and billing. Because of my dental insurance I left with a whopping $6 bill.
