An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.

Our students have special needs and the dental team was very attentive while caring for their needs. They were simply awesome! Anna Calhoun, Practical Nurse SPEED School
It is a pleasure to work with an efficient and caring team! Saundra L. Davis, RN, School Nurse Lincoln Elementary School
I always like having the Mobile Dentists come to my school, because I am so amazed they are able to see all our little ones and we never have a screaming episode. Everyone is always looking forward to seeing the Dentist. I never have parents displeased with the services or how they were conducted. I wish you would consider giving us one day of adult check ups! Yvette Franklin, Health Professional
The service was excellent, and we want to thank you so much for bringing your program into our school. Your staff did an excellent job working with our nurse and office staff. Catherine Webb, Office Manager
Awesome, and so good with students who are afraid or nervous. The follow up care was wonderful! Marlaina Reel, 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
Outstanding service and care for my students, and a great team to work with! Lisa Fox, School Nurse
This program is excellent, all schools should participate. The kids were very excited and some mentioned that the visit to the dentist is not as scary as they thought. Your staff is awesome and caring, and our students were very happy. Zoraida Olivo, Operations Manager
The team was great! They do a fabulous job, and the student’s really enjoy visiting the dentist. Paula J. McCarthy, RN, School Nurse
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

The dental team has a wealth of expertise in pediatric dentistry and ensures students have a comfortable experience. They eliminate the fear some students may have of going to the dentist. The team also informs me of the most severe cases, so I may follow up with the parents to ensure restorative care is executed. Sharon Wingfield, Assistant Principal Horace Mann Academy
I’d like to compliment all of your dental team for the excellent service they provided to our kids. Thank you! Juliana Reyes, Family Resource Coordinator Graves County Central Elementary School
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
Very friendly, efficient staff. They make the children feel comfortable, and they were thorough with the exams and cleanings. Deb Graham, RN Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center

The dentist and hygienist did an amazing job! In addition to the usual dental check-up, they did a lot of health teaching as well. They gave each child individualized attention and made sure each child felt good about him or her self, even if they had a cavity! I really liked that! They were sensitive to student needs and very nice to deal with. We can’t wait for them to come again! Hagit Stone, School Nurse

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
Efficient, friendly, flexible, and prompt! The hygienist came in to greet the office staff first thing in the morning.

Thank you for a wonderful service to the community and children. Catherine Aldrich, Administrative Assistant
Very flexible with our special needs students! Margie Rossander, RN, School Nurse Canterbury Elementary

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
Professional, friendly, and wonderful service! That’s my experience with Mobile Dentists. Johnny Raynor, BSN, RN, EMT-P, CSN, School Nurse
