Everyone is so informative, I learn so much about teeth and jaws but also nasal passage, breathing, throat, all the functions and how they work together. They are wonderful with my kiddo, make him comfortable and explain things to him. I really have enjoyed everyone at this dental practice, was our 2nd time there so far and will keep going!
Everyone there is wonderful, knowledgeable and caring. We’ve had teeth cleanings and cavities filled. Me and my 9 year old have been going here for 3 years. He loves everyone there too. Today he actually came home, saying how much he actually liked having his cavity filled And can’t wait to go back for his cleaning.. no joke
For someone who suffers from extreme dental anxiety, I could not recommend Smiles of Distinction more. From the moment I walked in, Jill at the front desk made me feel welcomed and talked me through everything. Dr Schultz came out to the lobby and talked me through what I was going to have done. Everyone on staff had such a calm and welcoming demeanor. They listened to my concerns and worked with me through the entire appointment and helped me set up my next appointment. I left with happy tears in my eyes because in 36 years, I’ve never felt so heard as a dental patient. I can’t say I am excited to go back for my procedure(tooth extraction), but I’m excited that I finally found dental care team that listened and actually cared. THANK YOU!!!!
I went in after weeks of pain from another dentist, pain i thought would go away, it just got worse. I couldn't eat or sleep from the constant throbbing pain. Smiles of Distinction fixed the issues. I was literally traumatized by the previous work done at different dental office. It felt calming and they gave me reassurances that I wouldn't be in pain during my procedure. Looking forward to finishing this process through Smiles.
Absolutely amazing. I truly can’t say enough good things about Dr. Bart. I have a phobia of Dentist and he is the only dentist who’s made me feel comfortable in his chair. His staff is absolutely amazing, friendly and welcoming. They’ll do anything to help you out. Just an example I broke a tooth at 8:30 in the morning, office didn’t open till 9am. I called left a message. Got a call back at 9:02 was in a chair at 10 AM and my tooth was fixed by 11 AM. His whole team came together to make that happen. It’s not just Dr. Bart who’s amazing his entire staff is awesome. From the moment you walk in the door they make you feel very comfortable. Now my entire family goes to see him. And anybody who asks about a dentist I make sure to let them know this is the place to go. Even if they are not in your network. They’ll still help you with billing and making sure you get reimbursed from your insurance. Truly, an amazing group of people. If I could give more stars, I would.
As usual, thorough, courteous, friendly and professional!
Thank you!
I can’t say enough about how great the service is. Best DDS i have been to in 70 years. They excel at the services they provide Awesome service! Love this place. Very accommodating Dr Bart-is the best!.
Thank you!
Dr Schultz and the staff are top notch. I am so thankful for you all!!
This is the best dental office ever! Wonderful, kind and responsive staff. Dr. Schultz is amazing and very skilled with any service I've needed. I've been going here for about 14 or 15 years, and Dr Schultz comes up with alternatives for a treatment and does it right away and plans it. I would highly recommend this dental office to anyone in the area.
