Dr. Smith is the best Dentist I have ever had. He is gentle and does excellent work. I love all his staff too. They are all very friendly, and make you feel comfortable to be there. The Doc's choice in music they have on can't be beat too! You'll be tapping your toes, and there is lots of laughter there too : Best Dentist Ever!

Dr Smith is the best dentist I have ever been to. I travel a lot but always get back to Santa Cruz for my checkups. He is kind, funny and very caring. His staff policies must be good as they stay and those who leave for a while go back to him. We always manage to work out affordable prices for my treatments. I really appreciate this man

Dr Smith has been seeing me for about two years now and I couldn't be happier. This last visit I needed to have a couple teeth crowned. The crowns I had installed 8 years ago from a different dentist disintegrated so Dr smith had to clean up the mess and start with making new crowns. I'm making this sound simple but was a pretty involved process just to get the teeth ready to accept new crowns. The process was quick and painless! I was having dinner with a couple hours too. Highly recommend.

Top notch care from someone who really does. I've been fortunate to have had Rick as a dentist from the start of his practice. He's always had a congenial approach, with humor and a great smile, of course. I am definitely biased. Rick has supported my work as a visual artist, collecting marine-themed works on paper and canvas since the mid 80's. Visiting his office, like a gallery, is truly a visit with old friends.

Dr. Smith has always been state of art and cutting edge dentist. From the moment you step in the door, I feel welcome and safe, cheerful greetings from the receptionist, friendly and professional dental assistants and hygienists and Dr. Smith has the touch for pain free treatment. I've been seeing him for about 40 years and am still learning about different things he regularly does, sleep apnea specialist, on call at hospital for emergencies, Invisalign treatment and teaching to mention a few. He's the best!

Dr Smith and his staff are a warm welcoming crew. I visit this office on a regular basis for cleanings and I've also had quite a bit of repair work done. Dr Smith and his staff demonstrate a level of excellence which I have never experienced at other dentist offices. It's actually a pleasure for me to visit my dentist.

First off, the Dentist office is NOT one of my favorite places to go so finding Rick was awesome. He is exactly what I was looking for friendly, knowledgeable and he doesn't point out every little thing wrong just to make a buck. He gets to the root of the problem (literally and figuratively;-)) or keeps you free from problems and sends you on your way. His staff is great too. I love this Dentist and his office.
