I hate going to the dentist. In Dr. Smithers, I have found a dentist who I am not afraid to visit. I have been Dr. Smithers' patient for over ten years and even while living abroad I made a point of scheduling appts during trips back to the Bay Area. He's pleasant, matter-of-fact, and incredibly honest about the pros and cons of dental care decisions. He's made good judgment calls that have spared me root canals where less customer-friendly dentists would have followed the dollar-signs. I would give him five stars if the rating scale went that high. -- Rafael Brinner, Berkeley, CA
