I've been going to this office since the days of Dr. Friesen (25 years) and I've seen Dr. Bhatta since he first started at Smiling Creek, so this review is long overdue. Dr. Bhatta and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, friendly and kind. The office is immaculately clean and I'm regularly impressed with the latest and greatest advances in dental technology to help make my visits be more comfortable and knowing that I'm getting the best dental treatment. I love that there is always music playing with Karen humming while she works away! Also, they are wonderful supporters for many community

Dr. Bhatta is a very adorable person. He is a great dentist as well. Our family has been his client for more than 13 years now. Once he saved my tooth by putting a filling; otherwise it would need a crown. 8 years passed and there has not been any problem with this tooth. He did a lot more for me and family.

I came to Smiling Creek after a bad experience with another dental office and my situation was extremely time sensitive. I was trying to get a few things addressed before losing my insurance, and my previous office made mistake after mistake and wasted a lot of the precious time I had left. I needed my problems addressed fast, as I was running out of time. The team at Smiling Creek was very friendly, fast and efficient, they got my estimates run by my insurance company right away (while for some reason it took my previous office months to get me an answer!). They got me scheduled for a checkup

I was very late during todays first visit but the dental team was understanding and still accommodated me despite delay. They were warm and very efficient. The office is clean and welcoming. Dr. Bhatta and the Dental Assistant Kira displayed great professionalism and keen in listening to my concerns. They were throrough and informative; explained every single steps they had to do including fees to be incur and goals to achieve high standard oral care. Im so pleased I read reviews about this clinic and it was a great decision that I chose Smiling Creek Dental.
