Therese Gallagher, Family Nurse Practitioner

Kat Brook, Administrative Assistant Veritas Academy

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

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

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

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

Extremely friendly staff, and the students loved their toothbrushes!

Susan Avery, Principal Braceville Elementary School

Thank you for this much needed service for the students!

Marie Newton, 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 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

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

The Smile Illinois mobile dentists is an excellent program! The dentist and staff are so good at what they do, and are wonderful with the kids. I think this is a wonderful program that benefits our students a great deal!

Gina VanCleave, RN, BSN

We are so thankful for the wonderful dental care your organization provides to our students. Many would not receive any dental care if it were not for the Mobile Dentists.

Elizabeth J. Hollingsworth, RN, School Nurse

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

The Smile Programs Dental Program is great! This program helps children to be relaxed about seeing the dentist and taking care of their teeth. The dental teams work well together and are supportive of each other. I like this program and wish you much success with helping children and our local school district.

Brigitte James, Registrar Langdon Elementary School

Excellent service and “bedside manner”. Every person in the dental team was awesome.

Blair, Registered Nurse

It’s always a pleasure having your dental team come to our school, they are always pleasant, professional and nice to the children.

Susie Rolando, Health Clerk

The staff were very efficient and organized, and the program ran smoothly.

Cynthia H. Morgan, Principal Edgemont Primary

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

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

Excellent service to our students!

Dr. Beverley Martin, Assistant Principal

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 love having you come to our school. Your staff is great!

Mandy Powell, Secretary Centennial Elementary School

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

The team is always great and very happy to be here. We love having them here!

Renee Johnson, Health Tech

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

The mobile dentist provided excellent service to the students at Southeast Elementary. The team was very kid friendly, and made the process fun for the kids. Everyone walked out with a smile! We look forward to next year.

Araceli McBeth, Health Aide Southeast Elementary School

Thank you for your excellent service to our school community!

Becky Drummond, Elementary Principal

Awesome, and so good with students who are afraid or nervous. The follow up care was wonderful!

Marlaina Reel, School Nurse

Susie was wonderful to work with in coordinating the visit.

Ilundria Bardwell, RN

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

Kim Dougherty, RN, School Nurse

The dentists and dental hygienists are always friendly and very patient with the students. They give the kids positive feedback on their behavior during the exam and procedures.

Tara Lovejoy, School Social Worker Morley Stanwood Elementary

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

Staff arrived promptly, set up quickly, and were conscientious about not having students out of class any longer than necessary. They were very friendly and very professional.

Tracy McKinney, LPN, School Nurse Seymour Middle School

We were very impressed with the organization and efficiency of the dental program. What a great service! Having programs such as these provides great benefits and service to our students and is very much appreciated!

Bridget C. Lucardie, MSN, RN, School Nurse

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

Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive!

Steve Basnight, Principal

Everyone was courteous and professional. The team was able to finish early and they were great with the children. Thank you for another great experience!

Cortney Williams-Loyd, Site Coordinator Ezra Jack Keats Pre-K Center

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

Professional, friendly, and wonderful service! That’s my experience with Mobile Dentists.

Johnny Raynor, BSN, RN, EMT-P, CSN, 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

This is a very important program for public schools!

Betty Girsch, RN, School Nurse

It’s a great service, and we love having the dental team come.

Brenda Hanson, LVN

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

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

We are VERY pleased to be able to offer your services to our students. Thank you so much!

Angela Vass, RN Carroll County
