Dr. Paik and Lyda are wonderfully patient focused and caring. After struggling for years - following a jaw surgery that led to bone and tooth loss, with much difficulty eating - it was very clear from day one that Dr. Paik is invested in providing the best solution and care possible. I am very grateful for his thoughtfulness and thoroughness in addition to his compassionate approach.

Dr Jen is absolutely fantastic. Her entire team is amazing, and this coming from someone who has feared dentists her entire life. I actually look forward to going, now because I know I'll be OKAY and look better/ feel better when I leave. :)

Oh, my God, I am so thankful that I found MD Smiles. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. I felt right at home. After suffering for 2+ years with a nagging tooth issue and being misled by my former dentist and her Periodontist, I lost confidence in ever getting this issue resolved. In my first visit, Dr. Sokolosky and Theresa were able to solve my problem within minutes. I am so thankful I found MD Smiles.

My experience with MD Smiles and Dr. Jennifer was absolutely fantastic. She was extremely kind and patient -- completely easing my anxieties about dental visits. Her team and office staff was extremely personable and friendly. They were able to accommodate me quickly as a new patient which was wonderful and unlike the norm. The office was clean and welcoming. The technology utilized seemed brand new. I don't have enough great things to say about my first experience with MD Smiles.

First time visiting the office! Wonderful experience and I am NOT a fan of going to the dentist! They did a thorough exam and gave me all my options moving forward! Everyone in the office went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable! Extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything! After oral surgery, my 2nd visit was great. While waiting for implants, Dr. Sokolosky went above and beyond to make sure my partial was comfortable and aesthetically pleasing for me! Highly recommend!!!
