The doctor and assistant were very professional, and they went out of their way to make me relaxed. They put in sufficient novocaine that I did not feel ANY pain.

The team at Smiles is the best. Very personable, thoughtful, and patient-focused. If you've ever been to one of those mega chains, this is the exact opposite in the best way.

The dental office of Dr. Davis in Santa Fe has not only transformed my smile in six months, it restored my faith in the profession as a whole. I have extreme sensitivities to all the stimuli involved and combined with previous bad experiences I developed a firm phobia of avoiding the exam chair for ten years. Dr. Davis and his assistant Gina listen to all of my concerns and guide me through each appointment to my comfort level. Working up the nerve to schedule the consultation has truly been the most difficult part. Walking into the cozy reception area immediately put me at ease, due to the warm congeniality of the receptionist Annie. She is exceptionally wonderful at explaining financial options and payment plans, in actual human terms I could understand and budget for. Dr. Davis himself is a brilliant, caring man who so clearly enjoys his work it uplifts all of my progress into a positive journey instead of something to simply be endured. I've switched my whole family over to the team, and cannot recommend them enough!

Even though I knew of Dr. Davis, it wasn't until a few years ago when a coworker and customer both had raving reviews of Doc Davis, so I tried him and I am so, so glad that I did. He goes above and beyond the call of duty. Him and his staff are terrific !!! 5 out of 5 stars !!!

Dr. Davis is by far the best dentist I have ever seen! He is the best person in the medical field I have seen. He takes his time and gives you his undivided attention from the time you enter until you leave. Also, a big bonus is the wonderful dental hygienist and receptionist he has as well. It is such a calm and friendly environment. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!!

Dr. Davis has been my dentist for 11 years. He tells great dad jokes and his staff, Gina and Annie, are incredible. I actually look forward to going to my twice-yearly cleanings! Such a friendly and warm dental practice. Forget corporate dentistry--if you're looking for a competent, honest, local dentist, I can't recommend Smiles of Santa Fe highly enough!
