Chase
★★★★★

“Recently switched to Race Track Smiles and had my new patient appointment with X-rays, cleaning, and examination. The hygienist was friendly with a wonderful personality and the dentist explained everything clearly. From scheduling to payment (where they gave me a t-shirt) the process has been smooth, and everyone I’ve spoken to has been very clear and kind. Very glad to have found this practice!”

Joy
★★★★★

“I highly recommend Race Track Smiles. It was really one of the best experiences I have had at a dental office. I had been putting off going to the dentist for a while because it’s hard to trust if you are being told the truth. Val was very friendly and made scheduling super easy. The hygienist, Melissa, was very thorough and took her time making sure I was comfortable and did an amazing job. Angie was very attentive. When I was waiting she brought me a drink and made sure I felt at ease. Dr. Esi was just so nice and very professional. He did not make me feel guilty at all for putting off the dentist for so long. You won’t regret it. Definitely a great place.”
