I found Dr. Redden's bedside manner to be very poor. I was never asked if I was okay during multiple cavity fillings or explained the process of anything she was doing/what to expect or after care. She appeared to be much more focused on her conversation with the assistant than she was making me feel seen/comfortable. She was pretty much out of the room before the chair was raised and I caught my bearings. It was all very unprofessional. I will not be returning.

To be honest, I've actually given them reasons to be frustrated at times, by rescheduling appts, and not always doing the simple preventative care they ask of me.

Be very cautious if you ever need a second opinion or your medical history from Delaware Smile…read moreCenter. After this office recommended a full mouth restoration costing $55,000-$60,000 instead of a standard whitening treatment, I requested my complete dental records to seek an independent evaluation. In explicit violation of federal HIPAA Right of Access regulations, this clinic refused to hand over my usable files. They sent only compressed, low-resolution thumbnail sheets of my X-rays and intraoral photographs that are completely unusable for diagnostic purposes by any other doctor. When pressed for my full file, the office explicitly stated in writing: "At this time, no treatment plans are available, and I cannot release the doctor's clinical notes." Under federal law, a dental office cannot legally refuse to release your clinical notes or withhold diagnostic-quality records. Because of their written refusal to provide my legal health history, I have formally filed regulatory complaints against Delaware Smile Center with both the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for HIPAA violations and the Delaware Board of Dentistry and Dental Hygiene. Please protect your patient rights and go elsewhere. UPDATE (July 16, 2026): After I notified the office that I filed formal state and federal complaints, they finally emailed my files--but they deliberately degraded the medical evidence. They intentionally converted all of my original, digital clinical intraoral photographs into black-and-white files. This is a direct violation of HIPAA Privacy Rule 45 CFR § 164.524, which legally requires providers to supply records in the exact form and format requested if readily producible. Grayscale photos strip away critical diagnostic data, making it impossible for a new dentist to properly evaluate soft tissue and gum health. They are continuing to actively block my right to a usable second opinion.
