Tracy McKinney, LPN, School Nurse Seymour Middle School
Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students.

Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive!
Steve Basnight, Principal
Our Carnell School Family truly appreciated the dental services that you provide to our scholars here at school. Your team works in harmony getting the children screened and then providing the needed services. We hope to continue seeing Mobile Dentists here at Carnell Elementary in the years to come.
Vanessa Faine, School Nurse
It is always a pleasure working with this program. The staff are very friendly and self sufficient. We’re grateful to be able to provide this service to our students who would otherwise possibly go without dental care.
Tanya, School Nurse Bibich Elementary
We are so happy you come here and provide a much needed service. These students would never receive it if the parents had to leave work or get transportation to ascertain care. Thank you so much for your work!
Marilyn Namey, School Nurse Hanover Area High School
Professional and friendly staff that are easy and understanding to work with. Overall, kids are excited when they come.
Tanya Ange, School Nurse John Small Elementary School

Great, friendly, generous service. We appreciate it very much!
Bridget Montgomery, Case Manager
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
This is a very important program for public schools!
Betty Girsch, RN, School Nurse
The program is wonderful and the parents and students are very happy with the program. Thank you for doing this!
Joyce Batts, Parent Coordinator P.S. 298
This is such a wonderful program…the children ask frequently when the dentist is coming back! We are such a rural area that the closest dental facility that accepts some insurance programs is 90 minutes away. That means a full day of missed work for the parent, a full day of missed school for the student, and a very long drive. Thank you so much!
Susan O’Bier, RN Northumberland Elementary School
he dental team arrived on time and had their equipment set up and ready to go promptly. They were very professional and explained everything that was going to happen to the students before they began their individual tasks. We had some first time students who had never been seen by the program before, and they put those students as well as the others at ease. We would recommend them to any school. They were kind and welcoming to everyone, including staff who stopped in to see how the program works, and volunteers who helped coordinate the flow of students back and forth from the classrooms for treatments.
Patricia Holston, RN, School Nurse
Friendly staff and great service. A wonderful program that supports our community with a great smile.
Nicolas Perez, Principal Cheltenham Elementary
Dr. Ash and her team have a fabulous rapport with our children, and explain everything at their level so they understand the procedures. No fear or crying at all, and for K-2, that’s saying something! We really love this service and it is much needed in our community. Thank You!
Michelle Hagglund, Registered Nurse
Always great with the students, and a pleasure to have. My school really benefits from this program on our campus.
Ms. Klein, School Nurse
This program goes above and beyond, and they are professional and compassionate about what they do. We are grateful for this program!
Tammy Carey, Nurse
We are VERY pleased to be able to offer your services to our students. Thank you so much!
Angela Vass, RN Carroll County
I always appreciate timeliness and professionalism, and that is exactly what your service provided for my center.
V. Carter, Administrator Ready 2 Learn Childcare Center
We are so fortunate to be able to participate in this much needed program. Thank you!

Your service is most welcome at our school. It provides our children with the care that they would otherwise not receive. THANKS SO MUCH!
Serena Taylor, Secretary Duchesne Elementary School
Thank you for coming and providing your services to ensure the dental requirements and health of our children are met at Head Start!
Valerie Dierckman, Health Specialist II
A pleasure to work with your staff! They were very accommodating to our classroom schedules. Dr. Jewell and the dental assistants and hygienist were wonderful with the students. We had a great three days, and we were able to let their parents know if further dental care was needed. Thanks so much!
Marynan Mudd, Family Resource Center Coordinator
You have wonderful, patient staff, that are very friendly. I hope Montlieu’s hospitality was warm and inviting. Thanks for all you do for our students here at the ‘Lieu’!

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!
Annette M. Scott, RN, BSN, LSN, School Nurse Ironton City Schools
The staff is always professional, nice, and friendly. I always enjoy having them.
Charlotte Morris, School Nurse
Smile New York is a wonderful in-school dental prevention program. Our students were engaged and excited about the dentist visiting. It was beneficial to have so many of our students receive dental health services and walk out with clean and treated teeth. The dental staff was caring, supportive, and professional. Our overall experience was great!
Audra Jimenez, Director of Counseling and Student Support Services
What a WONDERFUL service for the children in our district. The staff was so friendly and made the children feel safe and comfortable! For many children this was their first time seeing a dentist or having any dental work done and they all did so well, because the dental team was so great. We are looking forward to your return visit.
Jessica Dorsey, BSN, RN, CCRN, CTTS, Southern Local/Miller School
We love Big Smiles! So many of our kids would go without any dental care without it. They are wonderful with the kids and we could not be more pleased with the service.
Angel Goldberg, RN, School Nurse Maplewood Richmond Heights Elementary School
We loved the team that came! They truly sought to serve kids well, and worked hard to make sure everyone received excellent serve.

The staff did a wonderful job this year with the elementary and middle school students! They were friendly and very efficient with their time. They treated 40 students, which I believe was a record year for us!
Andrea McGrew, District Nurse
The Mobile Dentists program is such an asset to my students in delivering dental health care, helping to keep absenteeism down, and health habits up! I will definitely have the Mobile Dentists visit our school again!
