Mo Bai: I dont even know that its fair to share my experience with them at this point, but I feel the strong need to share for the sake of potentially advocating for the kids that this office sees now. I havent been anywhere near a dental office for around 13 years because of the trauma these people caused me as a child. I finally took a chance and got my first professional cleaning after all those years yesterday (at a completely different office) and realized that dental visits arent actually all literal torment. It was just this office being horrible. I have never forgotten the genuine torture these people put me under as a child, not only physically but also mentally. Even as I grow into a safer feeling with this new dentist, I still cant be anywhere near a dental office without being in a complete state of panic due to the trauma from Help A Child Smile. So much as catching a whiff anywhere of the smell that exists in that office sends me into a panic attack. I have no idea if theres any of the same people on staff now or if their standard of care has changed for the better or worse, but given the reviews Im seeing, I feel that my experience is still worth sharing. Check in with how your kids feel going to that place. If they hate it, listen to them. Dont just dismiss them as being dramatic because "theyre a kid, and its the dentist." I wish my anxiety and tears about going to that place had been listened to, but they remained my dentistry office throughout my childhood, and that caused (obviously) long-lasting damage psychologically.

Giving me options to work my plan. I have recommended to others. So they can have that experience. And have a happy smile. Thank you to the staff for providing excellent service and the Dentist for being Awesome and Excellent. Thanks for a calm and clean environment also. Sincerely B. Taylor
Karina Lagos: We had such a wonderful experience at Mini Smiles! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming and patient.
The assistant and dentist took the time to explain everything. They were gentle and made my daughter feel safe around them. She had previously had a terrible experience but she loved the staff at Mini Smiles.
We will definitely be back and highly recommend them to other families.
Nico Vanderwolf: I recently visited Dr. Jelani Washington for a root canal, my second time seeing him—the first being 12 years ago. That initial experience was excellent, and I haven’t had any issues with the tooth since. This visit was just as positive. The office staff is also incredibly kind and efficient. While no one looks forward to a root canal, if you need one, I highly recommend Dr. Washington!
Nathan Faulkner: Extremely knowledgeable, and friendly staff. I was referred by my dentist to this office, once I got there April immediately welcomed me when I walked in the door. After my visit, explained my treatment plan and insurance coverage as well. April made the visit such a great experience, she went above and beyond!
