Seasons of Smiles Dental is a wonderful dentistry experience. A buisness that has a welcoming vibe with wonderful people. I'm giving five stars for a multitude of reasons. The technology in getting the best care and the ability of explanation in work being performed. You guys/gals make me smile.

I just started going to Dr. Medino a few months ago. I have a great fear of dentists due to past uncomfortable experiences. Since I've been going not once have I suffered, I mean not ONCE.Between the friendly staff and the expertise of Dr. Medino, going to the dentist is no longer a stress, as I know I will be taken care of every step of the way.

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.

I’m a new patient. The staff made me feel very comfortable and didn’t pressure me into making decisions on the spot. I had gotten a lot of information to digest and certainly needed time to sort it.
And I thank them for their patience.

I have been to a lot of dentists and I’m one tough customer. My mouth is very sensitive and I’m a big, fat cry baby.

Dr Medina (and crew!) is the best dentist that has ever worked on my mouth!

They are focused on keeping you comfortable and to have as minimal pain as possible. They are also “teeth perfectionists”. Everything they do is done right. I’m so happy to have Season of Smiles as my dental office! They are amazing! 👍🏻

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.

Laura McCarthy

23:17 06 Mar 19

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. Michelle is amazing, and just the nicest, most professional person, and Nellie is super friendly and greets you with a smile! Dr. Medina and the rest of the staff is also very kind, understanding, and friendly! A great dental office all around!

I have always received excellent care from skilled professionals at Seasons of Smiles Dental. During my latest visit I benefitted from newly introduced cutting edge technology. A thoroughly pleasant experience.

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!

When I see the dental care providers at Seasons of Smiles I feel that I’m being seen as an individual and am receiving excellent care. I appreciate their consideration of my preferences and their creative suggestions for management of my dental care needs. I’ve been a patient of this practice for more than 20 years and have never considered going elsewhere. My daughter travels 2 hours back to Camden to have dental care at Seasons of Smiles!

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)

Daniel Bittner

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.

Kimberley Pederson is great! She hears my concerns, encourages my own efforts to improve my dental health, and then helps me plan next steps. They have been great providers; Dr. Medina is a wizard at crowns, and he also hears my concerns. Excellent care all around.

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!

Malcolm I Morrill

23:55 30 Jan 16

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.
