This was our 2nd visit to Groovy Smiles for my 3 year old. Both visits have been great experiences!…read moreNo cavities for my little man and Dr. Forrester was so good with him. From the get go it was really easy to schedule an appointment, their webpage is simple. Once we arrived we had no problem finding a parking spot. Inside the waiting room had a big screen with tiny chairs which was playing Moana! Also in the waiting room was a play area with toys and cool tablets to play on. We didn't have to wait long to see Dr. Forrester. He was very nice and noticed my son was a little nervous. He spoke to him and explained everything he was doing, this helped him so much. He also told me what I needed to do so we could keep up his NO cavities streak! Afterwards my son got a goodie bag (tooth brush, paste, floss) and a gold coin to get a cool prize. It's such a relief to find an awesome dentist for my kiddos!

We just recently moved to Arkansas and were in need of a new pediatric dentist for our son. After…read moremuch research, we decided on Groovy Smiles and Dr. Aaron Forrester. My main concern was that since we are far from our home state of Massachusetts, that we would not be able to find the same standard of care here, or a dentist and staff that was compassionate and caring. My other concern was whether we would be able to be in the exam area with our son..so many dentists these days are choosing not to allow the parents in the room...in screening dentists this is a giant red flag for me. Dr. Forrester's staff made it easy from the first call for the appointment, no receptionist with a bad attitude who hates their job..she was pleasant, knowledgeable and booking was easy. Our visit was great, the paperless system for forms was a welcome surprise, the waiting area was clean and had a tv and toys for the little ones. The wait time was minimal and the dental techs who performed the X-rays and cleaned our sons teeth were welcoming and professional. Dr. Forrester was a pleasure to meet, very welcoming demeanor, a nice change from some other dentists we have encountered in the past who probably disliked their jobs and no longer had patience for kids. But not here...everyone was great. Dr. Forrester took time to address my son and speak with him, gave him a thorough look over and I was happy to hear that his opinion of my sons dental treatment going forward was in agreement with our dentist in Massachusetts. We couldn't have had a better experience with Groovy Smiles...

Dr Wilson has been seeing our sons for a few years now. Our kids STILL like going to the dentist…read more The staff are all so kind and professional. Perfect for children and their parents. They have televisions playing cartoons or other children's networks (they can pick) above each table so kids can be immersed in entertainment while being looked at/worked on. I am so impressed with Dr Wilson and how he works with the kids. He playfully explains what he is doing the whole time so they are never surprised by anything. Plus it helps us as parents always know what is happening. His assistants are the same way. They are all the best!

This dental clinic came highly recommended, because people like the trains, fish tank and Dr…read more Friend. They lobby does look nice, but the rest of our experience wasn't that great. Dr. Friend is not taking new patients, so we ended up with a different dentist who didn't seem to care very much about our child or our parenting choices when it comes to dental care. They also have too many rules there that really put a damper on the experience. They won't let you take pictures in the dental room, even if only your child is in them, so we weren't able to capture the moment of our 1 year old's first dental experience. They also wouldn't let both parents in the room, which is something that is important to us. If I had known these things in advance, I would have gone somewhere else.

I'm sad that Dr. Nutter in California won't be our kids' dentist anymore (he was my dentist!), but…read morethat's the military life and so it was up to our insurance website and the internet to help me find a new dentist for my kids. Yelp isn't used much in Arkansas, so I had to read some reviews on Facebook, which is still weird to me, and I found the website for the Central Arkansas Pediatric Dentistry. I called to request appointments and the lady who helped me over the phone was polite and extremely helpful. If you're a new patient, you can fill out all of the paperwork online ahead of time to spare your hand and save time. Your signatures will be captured once you check in. Michelle & Trudy are the two helpful ladies that sit at the receptionist desk and are the first ones to greet you as you walk in. My information was reviewed and signatures were collected, which made the first visit less stressful since I filled out the paperwork ahead of time. The waiting area in front of the desk has a TV and couches and off to the right of the entrance door (behind the couches) there is a little play area for kids with cool chairs from Ikea that they can hide in. Deidra & Nicolette were the techs that performed the cleaning and x-rays for my kids. Both young ladies were very professional and let the kids warm up to them to help make their first visit better. I was very pleased with how they interacted with my middle two, especially my youngest daughter, because both of them opened up and were comfortable with them by the end of the visit. Dr. Jana came to see both of them and also tried to relate to both of them to make them more at ease. Unfortunately, she isn't really familiar with Star Wars because Sebastian was a little disappointed she didn't know who Kylo Ren was (he was wearing him on his shirt), but we'll give her a pass. haha :) My middle two enjoyed their visit, so I'd say the search was a success. Hopefully my eldest and youngest have a great first visit as well. Either way, Dr. Jana has 2 very pleased patients.

Everything is white with splashes of colors to appeal to kids. If I were able to come to this dentist I would! There are TVs everywhere. Which is great. The waiting area has a limited seating area (but only due to the size of the building) there's a small play area also. They have Netflix and they are nice enough to change kids movies to suit the "primary customers" aka kids in the waiting area :) In the back areas, they are using modern equipment and you guessed it...TVs there too. On the ceiling. Legit. Again...I'd go here...as an adult ha. Our dental tech Kim & Dr Jana were awesome! Highly recommend. Oh & military peeps, Tricare/Met Life accepted.

Finally April of 2022 I will have this ripe off paid for and over and out. I say ripe off for this reason. After that I was told I had 3 cavities that needed to be filled and Dr Jirik (Jerk) told his nurses, as he walked out of the room waving his hand, to set her up for 3 crowns???????? Needless to say I haven't been back since that day and I did write a review and Becky the head secretary ( I like her a Lot ) called me and asked me to take my review down....I did then but now that I no longer owe them...I'm done and I'm writing and posting my experience.

I eventually had a wisdom tooth that was bugging me and I chose this dentist because they do sedation dentistry. I have an insane fear of dentists so sedation was a must for me. After having my wisdom teeth removed and becoming familiar with the staff, I fell even more in love with this dentist. Everyone is super nice and clearly loves their job. They go out of their way nearly constantly to make sure I feel comfortable. They redid my top row of teeth (the area of my greatest concern and insecurity) and completely changed the way I feel about myself. They taught me how to take care of my teeth and showed me exactly what to use for the best results. Everyone that sees my teeth can't believe they aren't my real teeth at all. They genuinely made teeth that looks like I was born with them and I feel like a whole new person. I absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a great dentist with staff who are prepared for it all. Thank you guys for giving me my life back!
