Testimonials

Highly educated group of ladies. Explains everything very thoroughly. My questions were answered before being able to ask. Normally dental visits are painful, even after your hand is raised the doc continues. Here, they take pride in stopping when you’re experiencing any discomfort so that’s big for me.. everyone makes sure you’re comfortable and from what I have seen it’s a great place for the kids, as they look forward to future dental visits.

My experience here was phenomenal. Everyone was friendly, caring and made every effort to ensure I was comfortable. It has definitely been one of the best dental experiences I have had.

Deborah R.

By far one of the best dentist practices I have ever been too. Family oriented. State of the art technology. I recommend the smile salon to anyone looking for a good dentist. Dr Doaks is the best!!!!!

Gena R.

Stanisha G.

Can you imagine that a dentist's office is one of my favorite places to go? It's true! The Smile Salon is amazing. They take every step to make sure your visit is pleasant including free chair massages, personal MP3 players and extremely friendly people. Dr. Kundstadter is the best. She is so progressive and sincerely interested in how to make your smile the best it can be. I've sent many of my friends there, and they all give it rave reviews.

Donna S.

The staff is always the first thing you notice about a dentist office, and the staff at The Smile Salon was friendly and attentive from the get-go. I have never been a person to become loyal to a business because there are so many options, but after going to a few dentists before The Smile Salon, I realize that this one was a keeper. I've been with them for over a year now, and am always treated like family every time I go in. I will never go to another dentist for as long as I live.

Jackson S.

Best place ever to get work done. they must call it smile salon because guest and staff are always smiling. Lea and Dr.K even helped me get over a phobia.

Zachary R.

They are awesome. I've had a root canal and it absolutely nothing like the horror stories I'd heard from other people. They were friendly and comical and kept my little girls pleasantly distracted. They are very professional and I'd recommend anyone to go here for their dental work. And they amazing with kids.

Kalishaun L.

I saw Dr. Thornton and she and the entire staff made my visit so easy and stress free. I will be back!

Aja J.

Really nice people. I don’t like going to the dentist and hadn’t gone for years. 1st appointment I was nervous. I thought they would sure say something about the fact that I don’t see a dentist very often. Instead they were really nice and didn’t feel like I was being judged based on the state of my teeth/oral health.

Carlos R.

Great people, great work. This was a great place. Made teeth work the easiest I have ever had. I have been to several dentists before finally finding this one. The staff was friendly and kind, and the doctor took her time and was careful.

Ron H.

Dr. D is awesome she was very patient getting me numb and working around my tmj. She was awesome.

Andrew H.

Earlier this year, I had a tooth pulled. I was not looking forward to it, but Dr. Doakes took great care of me. When returned for my cleaning.....again, I got great care from Kelly. I am really motivated to take good care of my teeth and I have The Smile Salon to thank!

Eleanor L.

I had an awesome experience when I visited the Smile Salon! The staff is SUPER friendly, hospitable, & knowledgeable; you just don't find that everyday. It was my first visit to a dental office in over fifteen years and not once did I feel uncomfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone who asks and will definitely be returning here for all of my dental needs!

Conor G.

Dr. Doakes and Amanda were AWESOME!!! I was so nervous about getting a root canal, because of a past experience before. This experience was 100 percent better!! I would recommend them if you sressed looking for a dentist!!! The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere makes you comfortable fron the moment you walk in. CUDOS FOR ALL THE AWESOME WORK!!

Keisha B.

I absolutely LOVE this place! Everyone is so sweet and professional, and they have helped me so much! Everyone is actually interested in how you are feeling and progressing with your dental work and they are very knowlegeable. Dr. Doakes knows her stuff and is the best dentist I have ever been to. The complimentary hand massages are a plus when you're stuck in the chair for a while, too =) A huge thank you to all the staff that has helped me on my journey to a healthier smile!!

I ABSOLUTELY love this place. I love the staff. I love the look and comfort of the office. It's very family oriented. If I could give it more stars, I definitely would being that I am terrified of going to the dentist. I'm able to do something that I have never done before... SMILE and not hide my teeth!! I'll update my review once the braces treatment is complete!!! God bless this staff!!
