I have put off going to the dentist for a few years due to fear, but Columbia Smiles immediately makes you feel at home. I cannot recommend Columbia Smiles enough! I told my entire office what a great experience this was. If you have any fear of the dentist. fear no more!

My family (and many friends) have been going to Columbia Smiles since we moved here in 2003. There is no practice like it. All 3 of my kids have NEVER been scared to go to the dentist. They literally look forward to seeing Dr. Nick.

I had the Best visit with Ms Pam; she's very detail and professional as all staff. They made me feel like family and not just another number. Thank you Columbia Smiles

As a parent, from out of town in New York City and having your daughter in South Carolina call with such urgency about tooth pain was very stressful. Columbia Smiles did everything to ease my stress. My daughter got an appointment right away. The receptionists Amber and Kellie could not have been nicer, such great people. It's good to know you can get help when you need it. And my daughter is now pain-free and we have a reliable dental facility we can count on in South Carolina moving forward. - Kevin Kelly

Starting with the staff, the customer service at Columbia Smiles is unmatched. They're so friendly, welcoming, always wearing a smile, informational and thorough. They really take the time to take care of your teeth in great detail so you don't feel like just another number fit into an appointment slot where it's rushed to get you in and out. The atmosphere is nice with a great view.

There is some construction so it's a little tricky to get to their actual office, but I bet it will look great once they're finished. Added bonus! The chairs are massage chairs! I'm very satisfied with the care I've received here. 10/10 recommend.

Switched to Dr. Nick and his staff over six years ago and can say WITHOUT A DOUBT, they are by far the best dental practitioners I have ever experienced. His expert care has made all the difference. From a couple much-needed crowns, to completely straightening my teeth in less than a year, I can't recommend Columbia Smiles enough!

Biggest mistake ever. Speed braces were a scam. We were warned not to use him and not to get speed braces. Daughter is now back in braces under Dr. Whitehead. Her teeth are worse than they were when we started her 1st treatment 3 year's ago. Money down the drain. Buyer beware. If it sounds too good to be true. He never did successfully get her permanent retainer to stay on. We gave up after 3 or 4. Lost count.

From the time you walk into Columbia Smiles the ambiance is unforgettable. Though, the decor and amenities provided make you feel welcomed, its really the team and Dr. Nick that sets the tone of this practice. Their professional dental care services provided are top notch, but its their hearts that make you feel at ease in every situation. You don't have to worry when your in hands of Dr. Nick and his team! Thank you Columbia Smiles! Your Greatest Fan, Melanie Stevens

I have been a patient of Dr Nick and Columbia Smiles for 20+ years. I have never had a bad or unpleasant experience. Dr Nick is always smiling, friendly, and very professional. His staff is incredible. He chooses very carefully and only the best. Hygienists are amazing as well. Cannot express how much of a pleasure it actually is going to the dentist now, something that was not very pleasant (ie scary) when I was a kid, elsewhere. Recommend!
