    My experience at The Smile Center of Pleasantville was amazing. Dr. Basim El-Toukhy was a kind and considerate person who made me feel very welcome. I wouldn't usually say this about a dentist office, but I enjoyed every second of being there.

    Doctors Basim and Nicole are two of the finest Dentists I've ever known. Both of them are very patient, and caring. They took their time to explain,and develop a dental plan with me. Dr's Basim and Nicole take turns in performing the dental work. The three of us had to spend over six hours; grappling with a marathon restoration procedure. The numerous drilling episodes were a testament to their Patience,tenacity,and technical skills. They made a potentially excruciating dental crown preparation,actually tolerable. I thank these especially gifted Doctors. I am grateful that they chose their profession.

    As a loyal patient to the dentist who used to own this practice, I was a little apprehensive about the new owner and coming in for my appointment. I am so glad I did! Dr. Rockwell was wonderful and extremely welcoming. He took the time to explain the work that I needed done and made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. I'm so relieved that I had a great experience and my mouth feels great! Thank you Dr. Rockwell!
