“From the receptionist to the doctor, every person in the office gave me a warm welcome which immediately made me feel comfortable moving forward with my appointment. The hygienest who perfomed my dental cleaning was knowledgable and passionate about her job which was lovely. Overall as a new patient I can say I would highly recommend this dental office.”

“I had the best experience at iSmile in the Fifth Avenue Shops. The office is spotless, the receptionist is so welcoming, and the whole staff is just incredible. Dr. Helmy took his time, explained everything clearly, and actually looked for a real solution to my problem instead of just covering it up like other places have. Ore, who did my cleaning, was so careful, kind, and amazing. Whoever is in charge of hiring deserves an award because this team is A+++!”

Outstanding dentist. The dental assistant/hygienist was superb—and the receptionist staff were excellent, engaging, and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Helmy and his staff to anyone needing dental care.

My visit was great. The most expensive options for things I needed to get done were not the only things discussed. I was given affordable options which I appreciated. The office offers evening and weekend appointments which is so important to me! Also, the hygienist and dentist were friendly and not rushed. I'll be going back!
