I honestly thought that they were great up until some overly sensitive employees took offense when I was not smiling and overly joyous during a visit and decided to lie and proclaim that I was unhappy and possibly angry about a copay which was only $30! I never once expressed discomfort or anger about the copay. The manager Ann called me and was very dismissive claiming that she's going to stand behind her staff and then offered to cancel all of my upcoming appointments without my asking her to do so. They also cancelled my husband's upcoming appointments without his consent or knowledge. AWFUL experience with this clinic and I do NOT recommend them! They do not care about their patients AT ALL!

I'll be honest--I wasn't having the best day and may have come off a little rude at first, but the staff's professionalism and warmth completely turned things around. The office was clean, very informative, and made us feel comfortable. Most importantly, my daughter loved it, which means everything to me.

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...

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.

That was half a day, gas, and a half a day of work that I took off wasted, they even knew I drove down an hour to get there I did not have to tell them that, the fact that a simple phone call that morning could've solved all of this

They were thorough, they worked with my insurance, and most importantly I felt like they genuinely cared. I hadn't seen a dentist in a decade, literally. And I had some cavities and Dr. Bethel was so sweet; he reassured me before we started (I was being a real whimp about it!) And he kept checking during the procedure to make sure I was doing okay and not in pain. And I could tell he appreciated his staff- In my profession I've worked with a lot of doctors and there is always a direct correlation in how well a doctor treats his staff and how much they care about their patients. This is my new family dentist for sure!
