I recently had Dr. Smith remove a back molar and I was so impressed with his work that I thought others should know! Of course this procedure will have the normal amount of dental chair pain and I was told that it wasn't going to be a piece of cake beforehand. But the whole procedure went very well and out the door I went with a couple of stitches and a large mouthful of gauze. The recovery is what this award is for! I literally had no lasting pain after the Novocain wore off and no swelling to speak of at all. The very next day I was back to normal. I just think Dr. Smith and his staff are a very professional organization and would recommend them highly to anyone.

Dr. Smith is simply the best! He is incredibly friendly, professional, thorough, and great at what he does. Dr. Smith answered any and all questions I had during the consultation appt and thoroughly explained the procedure to me. He gave me lots of options and made me feel very comfortable. The ladies at the front desk were all also very professional, kind, and friendly at every appt. The surgical procedure went very smoothly. I did not feel any pain or discomfort, and it was over before I knew it. Dr. Smith's surgical assistant was very comforting and incredibly friendly-- she even took the time to walk me out to my car after the procedure was over. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and his lovely staff to everyone!

Dr. Smith extracted my infected tooth in NO time! He was very nice and gently hummed while doing his thing, which was surprisingly comforting. His assistant was also super sweet and explained aftercare in detail and answered all of my questions. I was terrified walking into the office, and walking out I felt so much better. I had very MINIMAL pain after the tooth was out, and the healing process has been going great! 100% recommend this office!
