I have gone to several dentist in Wilmington, but was…read morereferred to this office by a very dear friend after she also started getting care at this office and was very pleased. From reception, to the technician I interacted with, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also appreciated that I was seen close to the scheduled time and never felt rushed. Once the technician brought me back, I went through a quick X-ray and was led into the exam room. The room was clean, organized and comfortable. Again, within minutes, the dental hygienist arrived and started her routine. I'm very particular about following up with dental care and exams. I floss and brush frequently, and take pride in my teeth. Nevertheless, this dental hygienist took her time, and was extremely detailed in checking the health of my teeth, and even better, she was meticulous with a very detailed cleaning! I can say that in all my years, she is most definitely the best Dental Hygienist I've ever had! Great job! Next, I was welcomed to the practice by a super down to earth and friendly dentist: Dr. Panchal. We went over any concerns and and oral history, and, of course, he studied all of the X-rays taken. He proceed with the oral exam. Dr. Panchal patiently explained his findings and discussed his recommendation, treatment plan, and timeline. I'm pleased to say that my first visit was above average! From professionalism, welcoming and very clean environment, detailed staff, everything was perfect! Dr. Panchal has a great personality and I can see how he sets a wonderful standard which staff fallows. His wit, and lack of pretense were great, and even better: his knowledge, his ability to put the patient at ease, and his communication skills were wonderful! So, if like many, you're nervous about going to the dentist, I strongly recommend that you give office a chance. They are fantastic and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!!! Nice job, everybody!

A clean and comfy reception area where I feel like I am at a well loved home, where care was taken with the decor to give patients a relaxing and welcoming experience, not a feeling of being a product in an assembly line like at other dental practices. 2. A receptionist who smiled and made eye contact, politely asked the necessary information, and remained pleasant for duration-this is important because it is lacking at dental offices where front office employees often act as if patients were a chore. 3. A competent, thorough dental professional named Andrea, who did probably the best dental cleaning I have ever had. 4. Dr. Miles greeted me, checked work done, and even referred me to a dermatologist for treatment of a growth she noticed on my skin. I live at walking distance from two dental practices in the area. I was a patient at both. I prefer to drive 15 minutes to Dr. MIles' office. If anyone is going to invade my body by placing their fingers in my mouth, I need to feel that I can trust that person.

Not to mention I am in my 20's and have a lot of life to go in my teeth. In 2024/2025 she had told me I had some very small cavities starting and she recommended fillings to prevent any worsening. Since those fillings I have had nothing but issues. Not only did she crack my teeth she caused extreme sensitivity and I am now up to $8,000 worth of dental work done to fix her mistakes. She knew she messed up and tried to have her daughter fix her mistakes but not even that could do it! She cracked my teeth when doing the fillings and then sent me home. I then noticed and called and told her what she did. She supposedly "fixed" them but can confirm that did not happen based on a second opinion. She did poor fillings and I am still having to have hers removed and fixed. Not to mention she completely messed up the crown of my implant creating a large food gap. Most dentist would redo the crown until it's right but not her I was told "you'll just always have to have floss" EVERY piece of work she has done I am having to have fixed. I am having to have a new crown made and placed on my implant because hers was horrible, I am having to have all her fillings removed and replaced because it's "terrible" work. Having to have my bite fixed because of her TERRIBLE TERRIBLE WORK! I went back several times telling her something was wrong but was always brushed under the rug and told to use sensitive toothpaste. Turns out shes just a horrible doctor and doesn't want to fix her mistakes. She messed my mouth up so bad she couldn't even fix it. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere! I've been having to have her mistakes fixed since I left this practice and I'm still dealing with issues she created. Leave while you can because you will end up paying for it in the long run. When she retires you will be having to have your mouth fixed! Horrible dentistry work clearly she had no idea what she was doing

I have had a phenomenal experience from scheduling my appointment until I left the office. When you walk in the office is absolutely stunning super clean very comfortable. They even have a special waiting room area for children. I was asked by three different people if I wanted a drink of water or anything while I was waiting to be seen and honestly, I waited maybe 10 minutes, I was greeted with unbelievable friendliness by every single person in that office. The facility is fully modernized with updated technical equipment beyond my expectations. They took x-rays and pictures of my teeth gave me a cleaning that was so relaxing, and then I had a very amazing exam and conversation with the dr about my teeth and any work that needs to be done, ( I came in with a cracked tooth I knew I would need something ) I opted to get my teeth whitened ( it was something I knew I wanted to do before I went in) And they came out beautiful. I forgot to mention dental the chair vibrates like a massaging chair also has heat and they gave me headphones and they had a TV screen that I could watch Netflix. They treated me like I've been a patient there for 20 years. I felt so welcome and so comfortable. It is a must go to very professional dental facility. I am definitely going to be a regular patient there ... they also offer an in house dental plan for those that do not have dental insurance that includes two cleanings a year X-rays and fluoride and a discount on any other treatment I may need including Invisalign ( which is cosmetic ) but they still offer a discount

I had my first experience with Smile Starters on 2520 N. College Road, Tuesday October 15. Upon…read morearriving I was greeted and checked in without any issues. The facility was clean and all the women behind the counter were professional and cordial. Upon calling my two kids back for X-rays and cleaning, I learned that I was not allowed to be with them while their procedures were getting done, however I could watch through the windows. At first I was extremely taken aback by this news, as this was never the case at their previous pediatric dentist, so it was a lot to handle in the moment. My immediate response was to ask for the office manager for more clarification. The OM did come out shortly thereafter and explained their policies to me, she also explained how this policy-no parents inside during treatments-was conveyed to whomever scheduled the initial appointment. (This was true and did happen-mom forgot to mention it to me initially) After hearing from the OM, I understood and had a more clear picture of why this policy was being utilized. Although different for me and my children, I 100 percent understood its purpose-I unfortunately was just opposed to it. The OM immediately sensed my discomfort and offered to have the head dentist come out and talk with us once she was free. This small act, was much appreciated and went a long way. After hearing from the dentist and then my children, after the appointment, my initial apprehensions were dismissed. Before we left, we scheduled two more appointments for them and placed their names on the short list in case anyone canceled. Luckily, we were informed yesterday that they would be able to come in for their procedures today, Thursday 17, which we did. Both of them had another great experience and so did I. Although, I am still unhappy and uneasy with this policy, I am extremely satisfied with how they went about handling it, especially the Office Manager. I appreciate all the women that we have encountered at Smile Starters, and would definitely recommend them. From the Receptionists to the Office Manager-to the Dental Assistants-to the Hygienists-to the Head Dentists-everyone who came in contact with, myself or my kids, was excellent! Thank you WD / SS.
