Dr. Smith and his staff were so patient with my 9 year old son as Dr. Smith worked to extract a molar. He communicated with my son to hold his hand up if he needed a break. My son held his hand up several times, pushing his appointment length to about 30 minutes past normal business hours. The entire staff was so patient, and sincerely gracious throughout the entire experience. He creatively used my son's hobby as a way of distracting him from the any pressure he was feeling. You can tell Dr. Smith has a heart for kids. So happy with our experience at this dental office.
