Kathy Oehler, FRC Coordinator
Outstanding service and care for my students, and a great team to work with!
Lisa Fox, School Nurse
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 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
Thank you for your excellent service to our school community!
Becky Drummond, Elementary Principal
Always great with the students, and a pleasure to have. My school really benefits from this program on our campus.

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.

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 mobile dentist program is always so amazing! The staff is always friendly and professional, and we are always grateful for your visit. The students are so excited when they know that the mobile dentist is coming. Thank you so much for attending our academy!
Marquita Hall, RN, School Nurse
The team was amazing, and they displayed remarkable patience and kindness to each student. They saw 30 children in our school, some who had never been to the dentist before. The process was well organized, resulting in minimal disruption to the school day. Many thanks!
Summer Piller, School Nurse Westwood Hills Elementary School
I was very pleased with the professionalism of the team. They were very caring and it was the best dental experience. Keep up the outstanding work!
Kate Haenig, Social Worker
Your dentist and staff are awesome with our special needs children, and are so patient and kind. They made the visit for most less frightening for future exams. One preschool student went back to her class raving about her experience, and stating “They tickled my teeth!”.
M Stevens, RN
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
Smile Illinois has been visiting AFL for a number of years now. It gives our students a great opportunity for a dental check up and cleaning. The dental staff are very helpful and professional. Thank you for coming!

We enjoyed having Smile Pennsylvania at our school. The team provides a much needed service to the children in our school.

The staff is always professional, nice, and friendly. I always enjoy having them.
Charlotte Morris, School Nurse
Thank you to the entire dental team for the wonderful service provided to our students. From start to finish everything was professional and organized. This was my first time having the Mobile Dentists at our school, and the feedback received from students, parents, and school staff was extremely positive. We are looking forward to having you back.
Nadine Rickards, 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 staff was always wonderful, very professional, and kind to everyone. I wouldn’t have any other business come to my school to provide this service. Your company beats my expectations by a mile! I was able to call (daily almost) and get the answers I needed with no hassle. Suzie was wonderful, very attentive, very knowledgeable, and just overall wonderful! The past two years have been great with the Mobile Dentist Program, and I look forward to many more.
Jacilyn Habura, Secretary/Health Aide
Thank you for this much needed service for the students!
Marie Newton, RN, School Nurse
The services were absolutely beneficial for my school, and assisting my families with obtaining the services needed. I also thought the tooth brushing demonstration was great!
Stephanie L. Thomas, CHN/RN
Efficient, friendly, flexible, and prompt! The hygienist came in to greet the office staff first thing in the morning. A few times I walked by the room where they were set up, and for a mobile unit it is an extremely professional set up. It was a pleasant experience for the staff and children. Thank you for a wonderful service to the community and children.
Catherine Aldrich, Administrative Assistant
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.
Katrina Harwood, WIC Director, Marion Public Health
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
The dentist and assistants were awesome! Go with the flow kind of team! They worked non-stop until the job was done. Thank you for coming to our school!

We are very thankful for your program. We have several students who would not see a dentist if you did not come to our school. Thank you very much!
Gina Berry, Clinic Assistant
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
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
The Big Smiles dental crew were great! They were all terrific with the kids and worked hard to see everyone. They ended up treating 75 of our students that otherwise may not have been to a dentist. There is just no way to express how happy that makes me! I look forward to having them back!
Erin Bonham, RN, School Nurse
This program is something we have needed for a long time. They do excellent work!

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
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
Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students.
Rocio de Leon, Community Liaison
Having the dental team here at the high school for a day was wonderful. Thank you!

This dental program runs very independently, with little assistance from school staff. It provides a great service for our students.
Patti Oester, Administrative Assistant Flanagan Grade School
Always a pleasure to deal with and they always do a wonderful job!
Matty Leocadio, School Nurse, RN, BSN
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!

Your service is most welcome at our school. It provides our children with the care that they would otherwise not receive. THANKS SO MUCH!
