Doctors are very professional Not care about kids mind..while tooth extraction it takes little long to make my 5 yrs old kid. But after 30 mins they told we can't do that today. Already they gave anesthesia and next extraction part in only matter of time. But they are not even ready to waste 10 mins on him even after several requests... Only they were thinking of next appointment..

We have been taking our kids to Smiles for Kids for the last 2 years and have been really happy with the care they provide. My daughter, who tends to get anxious, has had one filling and one crown done here and had a great experience both times. I highly recommend!

I wanted to give a huge shout out to Corinne and Dr. Levy for seeing me today to fix my tooth. I didn't have an appointment, I called and explained the situation and they saw me the same day. They are both amazing, professional, courteous and smart women who treated me with the utmost highest dental care. I highly recommend them for any of your dental care needs. Thank you so much Corinne and Dr. Levy. Deb Torres

I have been a patient of Smiles for Families for six years and had great experiences with Dr Jordan, Dr Levy, and their dental assistant Corinne. They are all very thorough, knowledgeable, and also very kind and empathetic. I have recommended many patients here and will continue to do so due to the quality of care provided.

I had neglected my teeth and gums for at least eight years. The staff really helped me get back on track and helped me to improve the health of my gums and my teeth. Without them, I don't know where my teeth and gums would be today.

Today I had the worst experience with them. A month ago, at my normal cleaning, Dr. Pappas found 2 fillings with cavities that need to be redone and I scheduled it for this month. I told her that I was anxious and really wanted laughing gas (knowing they offer it at smiles for kids). She told me that she doesn't "do that" but handed me a prescription for 12 Xanax, explaining how I only need 2 for the appointment but she doesn't think I'll need them at all. I held on to the prescription for the last month trying to not need it. I've never taken anti-anxiety meds before and I wasn't sure it would really help me. But today I tried to fill it because of the anxiety I've felt this week. At the pharmacy I found out that Dr. Pappas let her DEA number expire and I couldn't fill the prescription anywhere without that being renewed. Talk about feeling anxious! I called the office to see if another dentist could write the prescription thinking this was all in error or an oversight. After making several calls and finding out that Pappas wasn't in, the front desk clerk said she'd call me back within the hour. What I heard when she called back shocked me and my husband! I was told that Dr. Pappas WAS NOT going to renew her DEA number and if I wanted the prescription, I'd hav to go to my primary doctor (whose office is closed on Fridays). When I explained this, the clerk had nothing left to offer and was speechless. I wondered a couple things. Did the dentist write this thinking I wasn't going to fulfill it and knowing her number was expired? Is that why she tried to tell me that I didn't need it? Why would a medical professional trick me or play mind games when I try to explain my fear of doctors and needles? How could someone who writes prescriptions let something so crucial expire? I honestly felt mislead and used. I immediately cancelled my appointment for tomorrow and my cleaning in December. I won't go back to a place that takes anxiety around the medical field seriously. I also find it suspicious that Dr. Pappas would prescribe 12 Xanax when I would only need 2. What would I do with the rest? This is how people abuse drugs. This is just my experience... it was a nice place, until it wasn't.

The dentist and staff were so sweet and patient with my children. I have gone to many places and this place has been the best experience. My children can be difficult and throughout the cleaning the staff were amazing. I would highly recommend for anyone.
