Having the dental team here at the high school for a day was wonderful. Thank you! Patty Skinner, School Nurse Trimble High School

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’! Marsha C. Erwin, CIS Student Support Specialist Montlieu Academy of Technology/CIS

The ladies from the program are fabulous! The kids love going to the dentist when they come, and everyone is smiling and happy! Kelli Sanders, Health Aide

They did amazing! We had students who refused to open their mouths when they went to the dentist with their family that let the Smile Programs dentist examine their teeth here at the school. Sarah Dean, School Nurse Franklin Learning Center

Working with the staff at the Mobile Dentists office was very easy. They were very accommodating when choosing a visit date and were very efficient while processing the students’ permission forms. The staff from the Little Smiles New Jersey program that came to Mastery McGraw Elementary School were wonderful. They were prompt with their arrival and were very professional and friendly with the students and staff at our school. They saw 22 students at the visit and each student benefited from the work the dentist and dental hygienist did on their teeth. We have already scheduled our next visit for the fall and cannot wait to have the mobile dentists back at McGraw to see and help more of our students. Thank you! Chelsea Trach RN, BSN, School Nurse

Wonderful team to work with! Chris James, RN, 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 dentists who come are great. They are warm and welcoming to our students, and our students love them! Thank you for always ensuring our visits run smoothly. Karoline Alexander, Community School Director

Always a pleasure to deal with and they always do a wonderful job! Matty Leocadio, School Nurse, RN, BSN

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

As always, it was a pleasure having the Mobile Dentist team visit our school. Our children certainly are fortunate to have such a wonderful and beneficial opportunity! Joanne Conn, School Nurse

The Smile Program is a wonderful service for students and parents who are on the go and just can’t seem to find enough time in the day to make that most needed dental stop. I would recommend this program to everyone that I know because the staff is very friendly and highly professional at all times. Thanks Smile Programs for servicing our students here at Emerson School. We’re looking forward to your next visit! Lashunda Harold, Health Clerk

Thank you for your excellent service to our school community! Becky Drummond, Elementary Principal

You are all great! Sue Kruckman, 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

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

This service was wonderful. I would gladly recommend it to any other program. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Jessica Davis, RN, RDH, Health and Community Services Manager

We have worked with the staff for several years now, and have always been pleased with the service and professionalism displayed. I hope we can keep them for many years to come. LaTonya Maxwell, Family Support Counselor

Your entire staff was excellent, professional, and very pleasant!! It was a joy and an honor to work with them as they provided a valuable service to our students. They were prompt and efficient as we overcame a few challenges. Each one of your staff showed a real love for what they do, and interacted well with our students, especially the challengers. Saundra L Davis, RN, School Nurse

Always a great experience! Mike Honemann, Director

The staff that comes to our school is excellent. They are so good with the kids and our teachers. Barbara Gray, Clinic Aide Northwestern Elementary School

Thank you for this much needed service for the students! Marie Newton, RN, School Nurse

Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive! Steve Basnight, Principal

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 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

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

Always great with the students, and a pleasure to have. My school really benefits from this program on our campus. Ms. Klein, School Nurse

Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students. Rocio de Leon, Community Liaison

Extremely friendly staff, and the students loved their toothbrushes! Susan Avery, Principal Braceville Elementary School

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

The staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids! Abby Phillips, Health Clerk

The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, and they showed up on time and prepared to work each day they visited us at HCP. Thank you! Elizabeth Cushing, Paraprofessional
