Thank you for this useful post just gave me the level of comfort I needed. I’ve heard about implants a couple of times before and it always had me feeling painfully crying but now I finally understand that it’s a process and I am now confident it’s also one that will pay off in time. Please share more info.

I feel like I've had some time at a spa. I was pampered by Samantha, an extraordinary hygienist, and my teeth are squeaky clean. Just what I needed. My children had their teeth cleaned by Kim, the ever patient and brilliant hygienist. We all commented in the car on the way home how great it felt to have sparkling teeth after months of quarantine snacking. I love everyone at Season’s of Smiles for going the extra mile to make sure going to the dentist is enjoyable, even with all the new COVID-19 protocols.

Clean inviting living room- like waiting room, friendly technicians, state-of-the-art dental technology, and a gentle dentist. Who could ask for anything more?I was always afraid of dentists because of past unpleasant brutal experiences. Dr Medina's office however, is a Good Practice. No need to fear here. They know what they're doing. 🤗

Dr. Medina and his whole staff have been way over the top to our whole family. Today the TEAM took the time to assure my son (13) who was pretty nervous about his appointment and make it comfortable for him. And all this on top of the excellent dentistry we have experienced over the years! We are blessed to be patients of Dr. Medina and his knowledgable staff! Thank you all!This was my post 6 years ago...and again today we are still receiving caring attention and excellent dental care. Knowing our family and caring for us like family. Our favorite dentist!!

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!

Andrew Grindel

00:40 21 Nov 18

I'm not a fan of the dentist let me start there. But I went in was greeted but a friendly staff who got me everything I needed and once I was in the chair Dr. Medina and his staff did everything they needed to figure out the best plan to get my teeth back on track I am super happy with my decision to go here and cant wait to see the end result when all is said and done.

I have gone to them for just about my whole life! I’m terrified of the dentist but they give such a personal & caring experience, it makes it so much easier. The rest of my family hasn’t been in years, but the staff never forgets to ask how each family member is doing. Amazing people and great work!

1. I am a tourist and needed ER assistance. The office called me on Sunday to see me first thing Monday morning! 2. Michelle and Dr. Medina saw me immediately. 3. Expert care, friendly, and fixed a difficult dental problem. 4. I was shocked by the low fee charged for their work. 5. What was outstanding to me was the respect and kindness all staff showed and spoke to one another and to patients. Really a lovely atmosphere.

I am someone who gets very nervous/anxious before having any dental work done. But at Seasons of Smiles I was made to feel very comfortable, and was treated very well.

Dr. Medina and the rest of the staff is also very kind, understanding, and friendly! A great dental office all around!

Seasons of Smiles has a kind, knowledgeable staff with all the cutting edge technology for a superior dental experience! Dr. Medina made my husband a crown in ONE DAY with his new Glidewell milling unit. After all, who has time to wait for three weeks for a crown? Getting it made and placed in one day was AMAZING! We'll be back!

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)

5 stars in spite of the fact the dentist is not my favorite place to go. My great experience started from the initial call to Nellie...working with my availability and making it happen. Dr. Medina and Michelle were amazing. They made a difficult visit as easy as they could with sincerity and compassion. I will definitely be making the call to completely change my dental provider to Seasons of Smiles.

They were so great about getting me in same day because I was in so much pain. The staff was super nice and so passionate and patient. They took the time to hear my concerns and really cared about the fact that I was in pain and not just another check coming in. Dr. Medina was so nice and thoughtful, patient and kind. That is the kind of person you want taking care of your teeth!

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!

Tina Jarvis

19:27 14 Oct 15

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.
