I’ve been going to best smiles for 4 years now and I don’t have anything negative to say about it Dr Khumar , is exactly who he think he is “ the perfect fixer” he and his dental assistants are very professional and compassionate people whos goal is to make the patient feel at home and comfortable safe and thats the exact experience you’re going to get with them I wouldn’t change my dental care if I had to book book book book -Signed Leah
When visiting Best Smiles I was greeted by a friendly receptionist. Dr. Kumar was professional and had updated tools to make my visit better. His team made me feel comfortable for my first visit and I plan on making this my new home dentistry.
I can’t say enough good things about Best Smiles Dental! Dr. Kumar and his entire team consistently provide exceptional care. Every visit is a positive experience because everyone is so welcoming, patient, and genuinely caring. As someone who brings clients to the office, I truly appreciate how respectfully and compassionately they treat every person who walks through the door. Dr. Kumar takes the time to explain procedures, answers questions thoroughly, and makes sure everyone feels comfortable and at ease. The front receptionist is outstanding—always greeting us with a warm smile, checking us in efficiently, and making scheduling appointments simple and stress-free. She is friendly, professional, and makes everyone feel valued from the moment they arrive. The dental assistant is just as amazing. She is kind, gentle, attentive, and reassuring throughout each visit. She works seamlessly with Dr. Kumar and goes above and beyond to help patients feel relaxed and cared for. It’s not often you find a dental office where every member of the team is consistently compassionate, professional, and dedicated to providing excellent care. I highly recommend Best Smiles Dental to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients. Thank you, Dr. Kumar and your wonderful team, for all that you do!
