DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Do not go here!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND FRAUD BUSINESS. They charge you unnecessarily. VERY RUDE STAFF AT FRONT DESK!!!! Reply-- As a loyal patient for almost 7yrs, I don't remember signing a policy of a "no-call or missed appointment". If you update your policies after 7yr, inform your patients. Don't blindside them. That's fraud! I never missed my appointment but was rescueduled by your front desk staff. And, why wasn't I informed of a fee then during the rescheduling or when i showed up for my appointment and my next 2 appointments after? I could have received a letter about this . I travel all the way from Yonkers for 7 years to come to you. You could be professional about letting your patients know this, i would definitely not travel to you but find something else. As a mom of 3, you blindsided me after my last appointment to tell me I rescueduled an appointment and therefore I owe$150??!!! Ridiculous! You definitely lost a loyal patient. Rethink your policies!!

This was my three year old first dental appointment ever. It was fast, efficient. And the best investment. The dental hygienist was very sweet and made my daughter feel very comfortable. The dentist was amazing. I loved that she was bilingual which is a rarity these days. I recommend taking out their dental membership. My 15 year old will be going to this practice as well.

My 6 year old twins look forward to a cleaning here at Smile Savers. They truly speak in "motherese" to the kids making them feel so comfortable. They have cartoons on their tv's and they speak to the kids all throughout the process & not just putting in & taking out tools without an explanation, so this makes the kids aware of what's going on & it relaxes their fears. In the end they get stickers & a gold coin for their vending machines which are filled with small toys. This is the best part & they look forward to this the most. I recommend anyone with children to attend Smile Savers.

OMG!!! The waitroom reflects the pediatric energy, not too much or too little kids props. It is clean, smells free and not crowded with furniture. I see good teamwork amongst the staff; who were appropriately attired. The staff are awesome, from making the appointment to checking in to being attended to. They catered to both me and my kid. It was my baby's first time, and he CRIED hard, however, the staff were patient, kind, helpful, warm and understanding. Thank you!!! I am confident this relationship and experience will be maintained.

The staff is incredible with children. Some kids are terrified, and if that's the case, this is a wonderful place to go. It makes you feel so relieved and grateful to see your child treated as a with a such care, no matter how big or small your child is.

I loved everything about my children's experience at Smile Savers. Great staff. Super friendly. Great Customer Service. Everyone was so understanding with my daughter. It was her first time at the dentist. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a pediatric dentist to contact them.
