I absolutely love OPD! I have been taking my son here for 2 years and every time it is a great experience. The staff are always so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend OPD to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist office !
Nicole H.
Wonderful dentist and wonderful staff! I will always go to OPD they treat you like family! They treat you just like family
Beth T.
Taking my daughter here for the 1st time dental appointment I was worried, but after meeting the amazing staff who was so attentive to her it changed my mind. We will continue to use OPD Smiles for years to come. Thank you again and especially to the front staff.
Amber R.
Brought my daughter here for her first dentist appointment And they were incredibly patient with her (she’s dramatic, lol) will definitely be bringing her back. The front desk ladies were also very nice and explained everything where I could understand. 10/10 experience.
Jesse W.
I used to go to a different dentist and orthopedic, and the comparison from it to this Is phenomenal. Every time I would go there, the employees and the actual help(braces) would get worse and worse. But ever since I got to OPD Smiles, it has gotten better and better, and not in just the employees and braces. The experience is better, having an area to play games to wait, drink coffee, and watch TV. Which they have a reward system, to win like 5-10 dollar gift cards. All in all I give this place 5 stars, definitely recommend
Renee J.
The entire staff is so friendly and helpful and have made it possible for our boys to actually make it through an appointment and even look forward to going! I cannot say enough good things about OPD!
J H.
Wonderful staff. Especially the front desk. They are so helpful and I will always recommend.
James H.
OPD Smiles is absolutely amazing! The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming. They make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in, and the level of care and attention to detail is outstanding. Highly recommend OPD Smiles to anyone looking for an exceptional experience and a team that truly cares!
Jessica R.
As a mom of 3 kids, I’m always worried about their mouth health and I’m always looking for a good dentist, honestly OPDsmiles is by far the most amazing experience for mi kids. since you open the door you feel like you’re at home, all the staff is so friendly and kind. The kids waiting area is nice, they have a small living room with coffee, ☕️ , visually it’s cozy, bright, clean. It’s a 10/10 👍🏼
