An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Manchester Avenue Elementary,
The team was excellent with the kids, and they met and exceeded my expectations by doing everything they promised. The teachers also agree that this is a valuable service that we should continue to offer. We’re looking forward to making this a permanent program and growing it in the future.
Dan Goetz, RN, Nurse
The service was excellent. Awesome program and staff! We look forward to having Smile Programs here.
Lori Rice, RN, School Nurse
Mobile Dentists far surpassed my expectations. The staff was warm and gentle with the students, while being highly efficient and effective. I was quite impressed with their speedy set up and compact equipment. Our school is very old, and they were able to utilize a very small space to turn into the “dentist office”. In addition, their office staff took care of everything in terms of paperwork. They verified insurance, contacted parents for more information, and supplied families with grant paperwork. Thank you Mobile Dentists for a wonderful experience; I know we will be seeing you again next year.
Christina Bancroft, BSN, CSN-NJ, School Nurse
We are VERY pleased to be able to offer your services to our students. Thank you so much!
Angela Vass, RN Carroll County
The program is great, and really helps a lot of families which cannot get these services, or never thought to get these services done.
Gladys Fonua, Administrative Assistant
I can only say great things about Sherrie. She is awesome with the clients here, and all of the clients ask if she will be returning in 6 months. Dr. Reisinger is great also, and will see all of the clients scheduled that day even if he has over 100 sealants. The restorative team is great also.
Shalonda Allen, Patient Care Coordinator
The dentist and hygienists were very thorough seeing students. Many students told the nurse how nice they were and it “didn’t hurt at all!” They took time with the students and were not trying to hurry them out the door. Our students had many dental issues…having this service available has been wonderful! We even had students from other schools in our district the dentist previously saw that were having issues. They immediately saw the student and addressed the concern!
Rachel Lee, RN, School Nurse
The staff is always professional, nice, and friendly. I always enjoy having them.
Charlotte Morris, School Nurse
I was pleasantly surprised by the comprehensive dental services the Smile Program provided for our students. Services were rendered in a professional manner with few tears and drama. Our students genuinely liked the services and staff. I was most impressed by the manner the staff had with difficult students.
Angela Boone, Family Resource Center Coordinator
Your staff was really kid friendly! For some children this was their first experience with the dentist and the Smile Pennsylvania dental team really gave our children excellent dental services. Stephen Girard Elementary School in Philadelphia looks forward to your visits in the future.
Andrea McCoy, CSN, BSN, MHed, School Nurse
The staff is very friendly and provides a great service to our students.
Lori Bradigan, LPN Oaklyn Elementary

Wayne Rankin, RN, DON Liberty Point Health Care RTC
This was our first visit from the Smile Programs team and we were extremely pleased with the services we received. The team was on time, professional, patient, and kind with our children. I am looking forward to our 6 month follow up and hope that our participation will continue to increase.
Wendy Adams, LPN, Health Services Coordinator
The team took extra time with a special needs student that I didn’t think would cooperate. They were able to reassure her, and provided care quickly and painlessly.
Cindy, School Nurse
This is a very important program for public schools!
Betty Girsch, RN, School Nurse
Thanks again for coming and seeing our students! We appreciate the professionalism, kind words, and dental teaching you provided them! The program is so easy to work with and all went well and ran smoothly!
Sharon Chura, Certified School Nurse Purchase Line School District
The dentist and dental staff were very kind, gentle, sweet, and patient with all our students. They arrived on time every day and were very happy to be in our school providing services to the students. They were honest, informative, and helpful. They told the students step by step what they were going to do before using any of their equipment, and asked the students if they had any questions. Their professionalism, patience, and knowledge helped the students with their fears. At the end of the visit, everyone went home with a brand new tooth brush, sticker, and copy of the work that was done on their teeth. It was a pleasure to have them!
Ximena Salvador, School Liaison

I appreciate the services you provide to our school and children. Some have never been to the dentist, and other dental programs don’t service the whole school population. Thanks again!

It is always a pleasure to have your services and help the kids of Baltimore City. I am grateful to know that an organization such as yours will provide a much needed dental health care need, now and in the future.

Excellent, friendly, professional staff. Works well with our special needs students. Love them all!

We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Smile Program. The friendly service the team provides helps to fill the gap in access to oral health care for children under age 5 in our community.

I have worked with Smile Programs for several years now and can’t say enough good about your program.
