I would just like to say I never liked going to the dentist… not many ppl do. Family members go to Dr. Smiga so I thought I would give him a try. He is such a nice guy and makes you feel so comfortable. AND the girls at his office are the best! They also made me feel so good and comfortable. I didnt feel like I was being judged for all the work I needed done. Thanks everyone!!! GREATDENTISTANDSTAFF!

I had to have a tooth extracted and as many other folks out there I am terrified of the dentist. However, Dr. Smiga sat and talked with me for 15+ minutes to get my mind off of the impending procedure and treated me like a friend not a patient. He was knowledgeable, friendly and patient, all important attributes. Knowing he cares made everything much less stressful and glad to have him as my dentist.

I never liked going to the dentist. As it ends up, I developed an absess, and being new to the area, asked a co-worker who he would recommend. I am glad I did. He and his family go to Dr. Smiga, so I decided that despite my aversion to the dental chair, I couldn’t take the pain any longer. The very day I called and explained my situation an extremely friendly and helpful receptionist, told me she could squeeze me in that afternoon. She also advised me to park around the back, and cautioned me that the entrance and exit to the back of the building, were both one way. When I arrived, I checked in and began filling out all the new patient paperwork in a small, but comfortable waiting room. With as filled up as the schedule was, I was taken to a room suprisingly quick. Dr. Smiga stopped in my room within 5 minutes and chatted me up a bit to find out what was wrong. He is an extremly friendly and such a nice guy. He was very concerned with my pain and assured me that he would take care of it quickly. I had a bitewing xray and within two minutes he was back in the room to perform a root canal. He numbed me up quite well, unfortunately, due to the infection it didn’t _completely numb me up, so when he drilled the back of my tooth, I almost jumped out of the chair. He assured me that in three seconds, I would be pain free. I was. I could have kissed him. I had been in pain for a week. My entire new patient appointment, including a root canal took only an hour. Dr. Smiga and his staff are all very nice and friendly. He is obviously an expert in his field. We even discussed his charity work traveling to foreign countries to do volunteer dental work. I would recommend Dr. Smiga to everyone. I can’t get in for a cleaning for 3 months, but that’s understandable being how great he is. It’s worth the wait.

When I arrived at Dr. Smiga’s office, I came with a history of botched dental work from a previous dentist. Dr. Smiga identified the problems and provided me with straight-forward information about my treatment options. He is as honest as it gets. Years later, I have my fair share of tooth aches, crowns and cavities, and Dr. Smiga’s office accommodates me every time. I used to get upset when I had to go to the dentist. With Dr. Smiga, I look forward to going to the dentist because I know I’m in good hands and that he will fix my problem… and get it right the first time.
