Reviews for Dr. Smolen

What students and patients are saying…

Dear Dr. Smolen & staff,

Thank you for my smile makeover. During the process you addressed all my concerns and made sure I understood what to expect every step of the way. All your planning certainly paid off. The final result has far exceeded my expectations. I just love my smile now. Thank you again. Words cannot express my appreciation!

Thanks for that great lecture yesterday. While the material covered was outstanding it is your passion and enthusiasm for dentistry that really made the lecture special. Hopefully the first years realize how lucky they are to be getting such great wisdom.

Hi Doc,

I just wanted to thank you for everything that you have done for me these past two years at FMR. Your encouragement, support and belief in my potential has been invaluable to me. I’m now working towards and achieving goals that I didn’t think would be possible. Your ability to change lives extends beyond the realm of dentistry!

I’m looking very forward to working with you next year at FMR and perhaps one day I’ll be able to give to a participant what you have given to me.

Dear Dr. Smolen:

Congratulations on your career move. Lucky students who get to enjoy working with you and gaining experience from an expert!

We wish that you had always been our dentist as we are happy for your excellent care.

We wanted to let you know how much we appreciate you.

With our very best wishes, KS & JS patients in Yardley practice

I am very pleased that you have found dental education so rewarding and fulfilling. Laura and I have certainly enjoyed your personal and professional manner for the past 35 or so years and will certainly miss you and the excellent care and advice you have always provided to both of us.  Hopefully we will see you on your one remaining day if we have a serious dental issue or require an educated opinion regarding a potential dental issue. We certainly remember you when you were just beginning your dental practice in Langhorne (with a dark full head of hair !!) and were pleased to know your family through the conversations we’ve had with you in the office. We have also enjoyed working with Dawn and the rest of your dental staff.

We will always hold you in the very highest esteem both professionally and personality. Thank you so much for being such an excellent, caring dentist for so much of our adult life.

Warmest regards and congratulations

If there is one thing that I have noticed I guess it the obvious.

You are so passionate about dentistry and pay attention to detail. Thank for helping be visualize procedures and SOT and repeat them in my practice.

Since I started FMR my daily has improved tremendously but I do need more to improve. Therefore, I do remember how you helped me adjust the occlusion for Frank’s temp and explained the steps needed from posterior to anterior. Using guidance and different thickness of articulating paper.

Thanks again for your mentoring.

You have made it easy for me to be a great leader, you have contributed so much to my success.

Please accept my gratitude and thanks… until our paths cross again… please be well, be happy and remember we get to make people smile!

Thank you, Mark
