Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been coming to Proud Smiles for my dental care for over 15 years. A colleague recommended Proud Smiles to me, and it was easy to get to from where we worked. Now I am retired and live across town, but I am happy to make the trip. Proud Smiles has given me the best dental care I have ever had in my life. The entire staff is wonderful. The doctors are wonderful. My teeth are wonderful because of them. I whole-heartedly recommend this practice!Add photos & videos

Professionals that care.
I've had all of my wisdom teeth pulled with Dr. Paulin and she is great. She does Everything she can to make it as quick and painless as possible while also making you feel well cared for and valued. As well, she's had the same fantastic staff forever. I imagine that's because they're all treated with the same care and professionalism as her patients.

Dr Brenda Paulen is very open ,honest, and sincere. She is a perfectionist, and she is passionate about about her craft. Thats why i love her and she loves giving out hugs. I love that about her. I love her whole team and she loves sharing knowledge and she is good at making you feel comfortable about making sure you, the patient, achieve the best results. I think she practices the "kaizen " principle, which is the pursuit of perfection. Thats what i like about Dr Brenda Paulen.

Amazing service. I fell while traveling overseas and badly damaged 4 teeth. Dr. Paulen was able to see me quickly and install 4 caps. They feel great - I have to remember that they are not my natural teeth.
