Dr Melissa Smith at SWPH is an exceptional dentist. She and her staff are highly knowledgeable and supportive. She provided excellent care for my teeth , and I did not feel any pain ( Praise God) I will definitely be returning! May God bless you all at SWPH 7-2-2025

Today I saw a Beautiful Dentist named Ms. Smith. She is the kindest, gentleness, and patience Dentist that I have ever meet.. I want to thank you so much for your kindness and for saving my front tooth.

The dentist was so kind and understanding of our financial situation. He referred us to a specialist in Lafayette who was also kind and charged us a fee we could afford. This helped us preserve the teeth rather than extraction. Thank you 🙏🏾

My experience with Dr. Melissa Smith and her associates has been absolutely wonderful It's truly been a life changing. All of the staff present as compassionate caring with a great attention to detail. Absolutely exceptional personal care. It's been over 2 years now that I have had the opportunity to receive dental care from S.W. dental clinic specially working with Dr.Melissa Smith. Her chairside manner continues to be personal and professional. She continues to be wonderfully kind and caring and I would not want to seek care from anyone else! 5 Star's!

Their appointment scheduling is horrible. one time my appointment had to be rescheduled because my teeth cleaning was scheduled during the dentist's lunch break. I took off from work only to find out that they couldn't take me that day. On another occasion, they scheduled my appointment the day after Thanksgiving. I was relying on this appointment. They called me the week of Thanksgiving to tell me they had to reschedule to a much later day because the office would be closed the day after Thanksgiving. Definitely was relying on that appointment because I had severe tooth pain.
