My 3 year old son has anxiety about the dentist, we borrowed some books from the library that talked about the dentist which helped. Also the facility was VERY child friendly and he loved that, and the best part was the TV on the ceiling that was playing his favorite cartoon which I think helped so much. The staff was very friendly! Wry happy with our experience

Can't say enough about this practice. The staff is over the top amazing. Incredible with kids and parents alike. For the kids they make them feel comfortable and give them a sense of safety and security also educate them on how to best care for their teeth. For parents they explain everything carefully. Doctor's, Hygienists and Assistants are really wonderful. We've had some very dry experiences with other pediatric dentists in the past and we are glad to have found a home. You will not regret taking your kids here! Exceptional people! Father of 3 Patients for 4 years

I'm writing this review for my mom, who takes my 6 year old sister here. Here at this pediatric dentist office they are very attentive and take their time to work with the kids. They're very patient and I want to specifically mention that Michelle, as well as Decenia were amazing and very kind. The doctor is amazing at what she does and shows she truly loves her job.

Wow. I was impressed. My first time at the Smile Express and I was a happy parent. My daughter is terrified of dentists and this is the first time I've seen her comfortable and didn't cry once. Ms Yessenia was amazing in making her super comfortable. The entire staff was great and the atmosphere was amazing. The waiting is super kid friendly as it mirrors a movie theater. I'm extremely happy i found Smile Express. Definitely will recommend it.

My daughters experience was perfect! It was her first time at the dentist and her dental hygienist was absolutely amazing! Did everything to make her comfortable and enjoy her experience. If it wasn't for her I don't think my daughter would have been so good!

We were new patients.. went in and found out my daughter had multiple cavities. We had to split the appointments into 2. For her first appointment everyone was so friendly, the assistant took her time to explain and show my daughter the entire process. It really eased her mind!! I had to reschedule her 2nd appointment due to a booking error on my end. I asked to be put on a cancellation list and they got us in much sooner!! For her 2nd appointment she wasn't nervous at all and said she hoped it was the same people as last time and it was. As soon as she saw it was the appointment was a breeze!! Thank you so much.

The staff and dentist were excellent in dealing with my son. He had a very difficult time at the dentist due to having a bad experience at a different dentist. They were very kind and accommodating to make him feel comfortable. They listened to my concerns and are offering the best solutions for care. Highly recommend them.

The smile express. I've been bringing my son here for almost 2 years. My son can be challenging sometimes. Today I was almost in tears. The Dr and tech was very sweet and loving with my son. My son started to freak out but the Dr and staff were very helpful in trying to calm him down and after a few minutes my son calmed down and he finally relaxed. This is the first time my son actually got comfortable with a Dr. The last dentist I took him to had to get cavities and he fell asleep. He woke up during the procedure and that stuff had to tie my son hands on the handles and 2 other staff had to hold him in place. He was crying and he was very scared and I never thought I would ever find a dentist for my son who would feel comfortable. After today thank you so much smile express. I will definitely recommend you guys to all my friends

Normally they are great but idk if it's because they are short staffed but I waited 45 minutes after my appointment time for them to check my sons tooth, the nurse had an attitude and it seems like they forgot about us. If it wasn't for this negative experience I would give them 4/5 stars
