I had the most exceptional experience at Smiles! Not only was the staff warm and welcoming upon my entrance, but made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I had to get some fillings done the same day of my intake appointment and they took every step to make me feel at home, I feel like a made a whole new set of friends! They made the dentist go from a scary place to a warm welcoming home. Upon our meeting, my intake appointment consisted of getting to know one other with stress ball in hand to make the whole experience relaxing. I am 23 so finances are tough for me, however, they took the extra time to make sure I could make the payments in a way that worked for me and my situation. Not to mention, every single staff member made sure every question I had was answered. I truly look forward to my next visit, which I never thought I would say about a dentist!

My first experience at Smiles UWS could not have gone better! Beginning with my greeting by Blandine at the front desk, my exam with Dr. Statham, along with several assistants, to closing out with Blandine, everyone was friendly, warm and competent. I was also delighted to see so many women of color (including Dr. Statham) at this practice. This is such a rarity, sadly. Also, the space is beautiful and welcoming, and all of their equipment is made with the newest technology. I will be happy to recommend Smiles UWS to others!!
