Excellent service, care, efficiency and quality have continued throughout my 16 years with Smith Dental. I take a very conservative approach to my dental care. Dr. Joe is in tune with this! Very well organized processes in making sure my care and visits go smoothly. I appreciate their documentation of my visits so I don't have to remind them again. They keep their promises and stand behind the quality of their work.

The facilities are beautiful, and just walking in, you feel very comfortable. It continues with the staff's friendly welcome, their competence, and personalized attention, kudos to Amanda and Connie. Dr. Joe is very personable, relatable, interested in you, and has a calming manner. He's gentle and offers his expertise readily and gives understandable options for treatment. He also calls in other Specialists to help evaluate a tough case, which was much appreciated. Connie got me an appointment with the other Specialist close by, same day, and that is concierge sevice! They also discuss pricing, so you know all the details and options. A very positive experience, and highly recommended!

Dr. Soloman is hands down the best dentist I have ever been to...professional, competent and a sense of humor! After several setbacks with a tooth extraction Dr. Soloman and Kaylin have been so understanding and patient. My comfort and care was always their priority. Thank you Dr. Soloman and your whole staff.

I had a bit of an emergency, Friday, my dentist after-hours emergency call-back service gave a 2 hr window to respond, and I couldn't wait that long, and as it turns out, to this moment, 36 hours later still no response. Not that it should matter, but I've spent what a lot of people make in a year at my current dentist and this is not the only time we've had an emergency, and pardon the pun, but it was just like pulling teeth that time as well. Smith Dental Care was recommended by a very good friend. Thank goodness they were open, stating that they're always open on Fridays for those of us that only seem to have emergencies on weekends (or close to) or holidays, that's HUGE! Upon arrival the staff was very attentive and welcoming. I saw a dentist promptly and my issue was addressed.
