Loved it!.. waiting time was minimum and I had 4 kids needed to be seen ranging from 1yr old to 8 yr old. All sorts of stuff was needed in all 4 and we were in and out within 1hr 30min. which i consider not very much. There's been other places where it takes at least 30min to b seen let alone for them to be worked on. Awesomee service, my kids loved it. I do recommend it highly.

What would normaly be a harrowing and terrible experience has been made almost easy by this great office and staff! Hannah loves going to the dentist and was so excited when her tooth was pulled! Haha! Couldn't recommend them enough!

Everyone was very helpful and left a positive impact with our family as far as the importance of taking care of your teeth. My daughter has a special case, but the staff at Smiles U made us feel comfortable despite it. I look forward to going back again in 6 months with her.

Dr. Danna and her staff do a fantastic job! Both my boys are positively giddy about going to the dentist - such the opposite of how I remember things growing up. The facility is top of the line with no expense spared. Great distractions with movies playing for the kids, and a very clean environment. I would drive from Austin (or further) to keep my boys favorite dentist!

I took my son to his first dentist appointment today and it went great. I loved the way Dr. Danna and Michelle interacted with Sammy and made it a wonderful experience. When we left, he was very excited and proud. I definitely would recommend Smiles University to anyone with children!

It is very hard to find a dentist that treats my daughter very well. She loves going to the dentist they do what they have to do but they make her feel safe while they do it. I would recommend them to anybody that has kids.
