My journey for a new smile is complete and I want to thank Dr. Mark Forward (Swarthmore Smiles )…read moreand the office of Dr. Christie, Dr. Drane and Dr. Forward Othodontics. It was a long journey because of the Covid situation, but we weathered through it and after my braces were removed, and I would like to add, Doctors Christie and Drane were so wonderful and patient with me. I felt so comfortable and it was actually fun seeing Dr. Christie Dr Drane and Kristen every few weeks. Then I meet Dr. Mark Forward and the transition started and now here I am with a new smile. Sometimes my braces needed adjustment when I saw him and he would adjust them and joke about helping his father during the summers with orthodontics. His staff and assistants made me feel so welcome, I felt so safe and I felt I belonged to the "family". After Dr. Forward finished my new smile, I immediately went to Dr Christie to show her. What a wonderful group of professional dentists and orthodontists. I couldn't ask for anything more. I hope a lot people see my review and will contact Swarthmore Smiles and Christie Drane and Forward Orthodontics if you need braces. They are kind, patient, professional and top of the line. Thank you Dr. Mark Forward, I am smiling now more than ever!

I was able to get in right away after speaking with the amazingly friendly and helpful Office Manager, Roseann. She's full of life and will put a smile on your face the second you meet her! I had an appointment first thing in the morning, and let me tell you, I never once felt rushed or pushed out the door. In fact, I spent so much time there I felt like I was hanging out with friends. Brooke the hygienist was super friendly and so knowledgeable. Unlike the previous dentist offices I've been too, this time I felt they had my utmost best interest in mind and explained everything to me. All the concerns I went in there with quickly subsided. Within two visits I had a cleaning, checkup and night guard all done. I even ended up buying a new fancy electric toothbrush there because it was $50 cheaper than any store, and it even had an additional $30 rebate. Dr. Wertheimer was friendly, intelligent and really took the time to explain to me the issues that were found and the best course of action to get them solved. I never felt pressured into anything and was happy to have been given multiple options. This is somewhere I look forward to going back to!

I echo the observation from other reviewers that at least one member of the administrative staff does not shine when it comes to friendly, welcoming service--and this seems to be the admin we always deal with. More problematic, there have been issues with confusing/late/missing invoices and ongoing unresolved issues with insurance--and getting clarification is usually difficult and uncomfortable, largely because of the unfriendliness. Recently, this staff member relayed incorrect information to a dentist--which had significantly adverse effects on the treatment our child received. I dislike having to ding a business on the basis of what might very well be an issue with one staff member, but when it's health care, and when the quality of the health care is affected...

The forms were easy to complete and send online. When I arrived at the office there was a giant sign that welcoming the new patients to the office. It was such a nice touch and made our day! When I checked in at the front desk they confirmed they received the forms and everything was all set. While waiting in the waiting room my daughter played with the books and other items they had in the waiting room. Once called back they brought us to a very kid friendly room with lots of beautiful paintings of animals. There was another personalized sign welcoming my daughter to her first visit. There were 2 dental professionals that went over proper cleaning and tips and tricks which was very helpful as a first time mom. After the cleaning Dr. Steph came in to examine her mouth and administer fluoride treatment. She also explained proper cleaning and things to look out for as more teeth come in. I truly can't say enough good things about this staff. From the front desk, to hygienists/assistants, to the doctor- the experience was truly incredible.

He was only four years old,when he starts going there, and each visit, he would complain about being restrained. They've been using these methods for dental procedures, but during our last visit, I specifically told them not to restrain him anymore. The very next day, after what was supposed to be a simple cleaning, his mouth became extremely swollen. He ended up suffering from gingivitis for a week and a half, during which he couldn't eat or drink properly. It was a terrible experience, and I believe they might have used poor-quality tools or improper methods, causing unnecessary harm. This has been one of the worst dental experiences, and I wouldn't recommend this clinic to anyone.
