    I can't thank Dr. Palmblad and his staff enough. Their patience and sensitivity made my visit an enjoyable experience. My procedure was pain-free and Dr. Palmblad explained every step thoroughly. I highly recommend Smile Makers Port Jefferson!

    I don't usually post reviews, but in this case I have to make a special exception. I was thinking back to when I was a kid and going to the dentist was always a terrible experience! For years I thought it was normal to feel pain and almost jump out of your seat when the dentist drilled into your nerves, without realizing you weren't numb enough! Owe, how much fun it was! With that being said, I would like to thank Smile Makers for 22 years of pain free and excellent dental services. Doctor Palmblad is a master at his craft and is the best dentist in town! I highly recommend him and his wonderful staff! Thanks, Jerry Cipriano

    My husband & I have been going to Smile Makers since they took over for Dr. Clark. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Palmblad & his wonderful staff! Always able to get a quick appointment & we never have waited. Dr. Palmblad has been so helpful with our payment plans since we do not have dental insurance. One time, a few days before Christmas, I had an emergency cracked front tooth, he took me in right away, did an amazing job fixing my tooth, then on my way out, the staff ran after me & said Dr. P said Merry Christmas & no charge!! Who does that?! This wonderful Dentist does!! Highly recommend!!

    The SmileMakers team is just amazing: very good care, control of the costs, no waiting time. They have it all. We've been with them since our post-doc times at the SUNY at Stony Brook and that's more than 15 years ago. They were good and friendly to us when we barely made it on a student budget, they are good and competitive today when we have good insurances. Our two children found the SmileMakers team friendly and I have to say that Dr. Palmblad managed to extract two teeth (for the braces) from the mouth of my fussy junior without a tear. I could not believe my eyes, but he tricked the kid and did it. We saw Dr. Palmblad and Melissa just before the COVID-19 lockdown and they acted very professionally, reassuring and with a lot of sense of humor.

    I recently had dental work done at Smile Makers in Port Jefferson and I'm extremely satisfied. The procedure done by Dr. Palmblad was painless and stress free, and I would highly recommend him. The whole staff was friendly and comforting. All safety precautions were taken above and beyond. Great overall experience.
