Rick K. Smith, DDS

"Clinically advanced, painless, collaborative, and a really lovely guy. He's so upbeat, you feel better leaving than when you came in. Well-run office also."

"Dr. Smith is the best dentist that I have ever been to which is saying alot after the many bad dentists that have treated me. I was in a car accident and had $35K in dental work done by Dr. Schellentrager which was done incorrectly and had to be taken out. I am so thankful that Dr. Smith has been able to properly care for me since. Rick Smith has been a true blessing to me."

"Dr. Smith is the best Dentist I have ever had. He is gentle and does excellent work. I love all his staff too. They are all very friendly, and make you feel comfortable to be there. The Doc's choice in music they have on can't be beat too! You'll be tapping your toes, and there is lots of laughter there too :) Best Dentist Ever!!!"

"Dr Smith is the best dentist I have ever been to. I travel a lot but always get back to Santa Cruz for my checkups. He is kind, funny and very caring. His staff policies must be good as they stay and those who leave for a while go back to him. We always manage to work out affordable prices for my treatments. I really appreciate this man"

"Top notch care from someone who really does. I've been fortunate to have had Rick as a dentist from the start of his practice. He's always had a congenial approach, with humor and a great smile, of course. I am definitely biased. Rick has supported my work as a visual artist, collecting marine-themed works on paper and canvas since the mid 80's. Visiting his office, like a gallery, is truly a visit with old friends."
