Dr. Smith was my dentist from age 0 to 18, and my parents still see her for all their toothy needs. Her chairside manner was impeccable and she always hired very nice, diligent hygenists. Occasionally they would prod in an ouchy manner, but they seemed to be focused on their work rather than inflicting pain. If I could afford her, I would be a patient again in a heartbeat, however I don't believe she's on any insurance plans any more (at least not mine) and I cannot at this point afford her fees. I have never had any problems with her, her staff or her office (and that's saying a LOT) and I would recommend her and her services very highly.
