The Smile Lodge was absolutely amazing! My son had dental work done there, and the entire team was so patient, kind, and knowledgeable. A special thank you to Dr. Hussein — he was incredibly thorough, explained everything clearly, and made sure my son felt comfortable and at ease the whole time. As a parent, that level of care means everything. We’re so grateful for the experience and highly recommend The Smile Lodge!

I brought my son at the Clifton park location a few days ago for surgery and I must say it was the best experience we ever had at a dental office. Dr. Hussein and the sedation team was AMAZING. They were so gentle, friendly and answered all our questions.

My son recently had dental work done under conscious sedation. As a mom, I was super nervous. Dr. Hussein and the sedation team were INCREDIBLE. Especially Bree! Thank you for helping ease my boys nerves (and mine).

Dr. Hussein and the sedation team were amazing! They were so good with my autistic son. Usually the dentist is a nightmare for us but they made our experience great from start to even after the procedure when I had follow up questions. Easy to get in touch with and fast to respond to me. Would recommend to anyone! 10/10 experience

I have consistently found it challenging to get my 8-year-old daughter with level 3 nonverbal autism to tolerate dental appointments, including simple cleanings. Nevertheless, our appointment yesterday at Mt. Brushmore building under the care of Dr. Hussein and the sedation team was remarkably successful. They went above and beyond to ensure both my daughter's and my own comfort during the visit. The sedation team skillfully used her favorite cartoon as a distraction method during the procedure, contributing to her calm demeanor. Furthermore, their kindness and attentiveness persisted as they

My daughter had some dental work done. And all I have is WONDERFUL reviews! First off Dr. Hussein was amaaazing from explaining in complete detail the process of the procedure and how my child would behave during this process and he kept not only making sure that myself andy husband were okay with how the procedure was going as he was performing it but the follow up afterwards was truly comforting. His sedation team! Love them! They were highly amused with my kid and her sedated self lol. But they were very attentive and helpful and they all just did an amazing job with making the three of us

Dr. Hussein and the sedation team are top notch! They took great care of my child before, during and after the procedure and made us feel comfortable the entire time. I reached out to Dr. Hussein a week after the procedure with some questions and he got right back to me. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend them!

Yesterday was my daughter’s first visit there, and it was great! They made her feel so comfortable and explained everything so she was also able to understand. She needed to have some baby teeth pulled and through the whole thing they made sure she was comfortable and ok. Dr McDonnell was the best!

Dr. Hussein and the sedation team that we just saw for my daughter’s tooth extractions were excellent. They answered all of my questions, thoroughly explained all aspects of the procedure and were so kind and professional. I appreciated how well they took care of my daughter and did everything possible to keep her comfortable. I felt as a patient they provided excellent dental care and made us both feel respected and involved in the procedure. Thank you!

Amazing team!! Efficient, professional and caring. My son had sedation treatment done today with Dr. Mcmahon. I couldn’t say enough good things about him, I work in dentistry and understand the challenges, especially in pediatric dentistry. Dr. was so patient and worked fast with his team to get it done. I appreciate all their hard work. Highly recommend bringing your child here. Thanks again to all !

The whole team did an amazing job. Very friendly and informative. The appointment started late and ended a little later than expected besides that the team did everything they could in the time they had to efficiently extract my son’s tooth. The team made myself and my mother feel very comfortable, constantly checking in with us, reassuring me as mom that my son was doing good. You guys are awesome! We will be coming back to be permanent patients at this location. Thank you Dr.Hussein and team. We appreciate you, my son is healing well.

From pulling into the parking lot to leavening this place hands down is the best !! My kids loved every second from the music to the friendly staff and can’t wait to come back which is crazy to say since they were traumatized by the dentist in our town and cried hysterically with any mention of a dentist!! I’m so grateful for this place and all of the staff !! Keep up the great work ⭐️

I have to say that our experience here has been amazing and all around wonderful! I want to thank the sedation team and the dentist who worked swiftly and precisely with my son to get his dental issues taken care of. The whole team was wonderful and very attentive to my son and I and they made the whole appointment very reassuring and calming. After the appointment my son experienced NO PAIN whatsoever and I was shocked. I loved that the dentist that worked on my son did follow-up via telephone and that made me feel that they really do care about every patient! Thank You All For Everything!

Our experience with Dr. Hussein and his team was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. My son was a bit nervous at first, but Dr. Hussein’s calm and friendly approach immediately put him at ease. The treatment itself was handled with incredible skill and compassion. Every step was clearly explained, and we felt completely informed and confident throughout the entire process. The team went above and beyond to make sure my son was comfortable, and the results speak for themselves—outstanding! We’re so grateful for the exceptional care we received.
