- My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Smith for several years. In fact, we saw him while we lived in Lake Oswego. We moved to a new neighborhood and it was no longer "convenient" to drive to Lake Oswego. However, within a couple of visits to other dentists, we both decided the drive was well worth it. We both like his easy-going personality. He is very down-to-earth and his staff are friendly. The office environment is lovely, clean and relaxing. Highly recommended!

- What did you like most about this practice?Expertise, honesty (didn't over treat me), efficiency (fast!), friendly, beautiful office.
