I had such a wonderful experience at Smiles by Dr. Josh! From the moment I walked in, the hospitality was amazing. Dr. Josh and his wife were incredibly kind and attentive, and they made me feel comfortable and cared for the entire time.
The office is absolutely beautiful, spotless, and very professional, and it even smells amazing. I loved all the thoughtful little touches, like changing into cozy slippers, the calming music, and the relaxing scents throughout the office. Being able to choose your own music was such a nice touch too!
Everything about the visit felt peaceful, comfortable, and luxurious. I honestly never thought I would describe going to the dentist as a luxury experience, but they truly make it feel that way. Dr. Josh is wonderful, and I left feeling so happy with my experience. I would absolutely recommend Smiles by Dr. Josh!

I had an emergency tooth extraction on a Friday night right before a cruise the next day, and Dr. Josh was absolutely outstanding. From the moment I arrived, his calm and reassuring nature put me at ease, and he handled everything with professionalism, skill, and genuine care. As a Canadian traveling through, I was especially impressed by how thoughtful, accommodating, and patient he was throughout the entire process. His holistic approach and top-notch bedside manner made a stressful situation feel manageable. I’m very grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend Smiles by Dr. Josh to anyone needing compassionate, high-quality dental work.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Josh. I recently broke a molar and was experiencing a dental emergency on a Saturday. Dr. Josh went above and beyond to see me right away, which was incredibly reassuring during a stressful situation.
From the moment I arrived, he was caring, calming, and compassionate. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel completely at ease. His professionalism, knowledge, and expertise were evident throughout the entire visit.
The office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and was exceptionally clean and sterile, giving me great confidence in the quality of care I was receiving.
If you are looking for a dentist who truly cares about his patients and provides outstanding treatment, I highly recommend Dr. Josh. Thank you for turning a dental emergency into such a positive experience!

What a GREAT relief when Dr Josh's office warmly welcomed my husband who was due to have surgery in a few days but would have to cancel due to a loose tooth that needed to be removed. He was handled with care, we were in and out quickly, and did not have to cancel the surgery. Dr Josh and his assistant's warm demeanor made us feel we had made the right choice. We are confident in his ability and we will be Smiles patients from now on!

My crown fell off over dinner last night, and I was a bit freaked out. I wanted it put back on as quickly as possible, and I'm glad I called Dr. Josh. Apparently, he lives near his practice, and when he can, he makes himself available for emergency and after-hours appointments. It was kind of strange being in the office at night with just him, but he knows what he's doing, and it worked fine. He seemed very knowledgeable. When I woke up this morning, my tongue went to the newly re-crowned tooth, and the first thing I thought was, "I'm glad I called Dr. Josh last night!"
