Everyone in the office was so thoughtful and nice. Dr. Medina was as well. He asked very important questions during my first visit that made me feel confident he listened to my answers and was willing to meet all my needs. In the end,, we came up with a great dental plan that also included Invisaline for straightening my teeth. I am very excited!!read more

I GOT A CROWN IN ONE DAY!! I was dentist shopping after recently arriving in Camden. Luckily, this was the first (and last) office I called. It was one of the best dental experiences I've ever had. Dr. Medina's office is the perfect blend of professionalism and family warmth. They explained everything to me and helped me understand all my options. Ultimately, we decided a crown was the best option--both dentally and financially--to get a crown. Allow me to repeat myself: I did not wait 3 weeks and two seperate visits for a crown. I, LITERALLY, GOT A NEW CROWN IN ONE DAY. He mills a custom crown for you in the office. I've found my dental office for life. Hopefully he's not planning on retiring anytime soon!read more

After my initial visit in February, I thought I was finished with my teeth for a long while, but today I found myself back in the chair with a chipped tooth! The good news is that the trip to the dentist isn't a pensive as it used to be since I am now a patient of Dr. Medina. He's the best, and love Michelle, and Nellie. I wonder if they realize how important their work is? I for one am grateful. See you guys soon to get this chip tooth fixed!! Can't wait! (not really)

My family has been going to Dr. Medina for many years. Nellie has always been so accommodating with making the appointments for the whole family. She calls and sends out reminders for the visits. She is friendly and is happy to see you when you walk into the office. Our hygienists ( We have seen Kim and Michele) are kind and are very gentle. They care about you when you are in their chair and make you feel at home. Dr. Medina always comes in at the end of every cleaning. He goes over any treatment plan and spends time going over any questions that you have. He cares about you as a person, not just another patient. Seasons of Smiles even sends out birthday cards with all of their signatures. My family has always had great experiences and we will continue to be patients of Seasons of Smiles. It is a great place!

10/13/15: My family have been patients of Dr. Medina for 20 years. From the minute you walk in with Nellie's friendly greeting and making you feel like more than a number, to the knowledgeable hygienist (Kim this time) who take the time to answer ALL my questions, to Dr. Medina who will take the time to explain procedures and listens to concerns to give me quality dental care. This office seems to be genuinely concerned with preventative care: Save the tooth, don't replace it. I like that I am not a number in this office. Thanks.
