The new patient process was very easy and impressive. The front desk is super friendly and accommodating with refreshments while you wait. Dr D and Journey are very patient and thorough, taking all the time needed to answer any questions. I definitely recommend them and am certain you won’t be disappointed.

Smile COS is an AMAZING dentistry! I would recommend all patience to this place. Everyone is very kind, helpful, and they even teach you about your teeth! My hygienist Sarah was very helpful explaining about my gums. My Dental Assistant Lisa Marie was very sweet and made the x ray process super simple and Dr. Darquea was very nice and very good at his job! Overall, thank you Smile COS for making my transition from a pediatric dentist to an adult dentist super easy and delightful!

As someone who has a strong fear of dental procedures, finding a good place with kind and understanding people is important. Dr. Miller and his team, particularly Sarah and Brandi, went (and continue to go) above and beyond in explaining every aspect of what they are doing, taking time to make sure I am comfortable with the procedures and not under stress, and definitely making me laugh and smile the whole time. They work with me to find the right procedures and have made it so that I actually enjoy coming in for cleanings and procedures! At the front desk, the whole team is friendly and encouraging

This is by far the most pleasant and helpful Dentistry I've been to. I have much work to do on my teeth and the entire team are all hands on deck with helping me achieve this personal goal of mine. I felt no shame walking in and proud to have a plan set up to get all my dental needs done. I'm looking forward to great teeth again! Brandi H. Dr. Darquea, Robin - Everyone gave me confidence and a detailed outlined a plan that will work with me. I was even squeezed in for a cleaning with another wonderful lady Dentist. So all was great so I'm happy!!
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

The SmileCOS team was so great from start to finish. Making the appointment and the pre-appointment paperwork was a breeze. When I arrived, I was greeted immediately and made to feel at home with a beverage station and smiles from the coordinator staff. The office is bright, clean and homey. Sarah was my dental hygienist and she was so warm and friendly. She made it a great experience because she explained what she was doing every step of the way. The room was private and had a nice TV on the ceiling that distracted me during the cleaning. The best part was the water she used to rinse was WARMâ€

This place is everything you want in a dental office- welcoming, kind, and comfortable! They have somehow found a way to make a dental office fun. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted and taken care of extravagantly. Sarah, my hygienist did a great job explaining every step of the way. This place is a well-organized operation. Highly recommend.

Such a pleasant first experience with smile COS. Everyone from the front desk, to the hygienist, the assistants, and the doc were so sweet and friendly. I had just come in to do a check in and cleaning and it was so thorough and nice. The office is welcoming and clean. I am in my second trimester and they were very considerate and careful when taking my x-rays and continually checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable.

I've been going to SmileCOS ever since I moved to Colorado Springs in 2017. For my initial appointment, even before arriving I was impressed - I was able to schedule an appointment and send in my new patient paperwork virtually (this was pre-COVID and kind of a big deal!). I had to schedule a couple months out, but that is only a testament to how popular and high-quality this practice is. The office is a clean, efficient, state-of-the art office with professional, courteous staff. Everything was explained to me in a way I could understand and I left my new patient appointment feeling like

Since I've started going to this dental office I have had nothing but bad experiences and lack of patient care.
The first issues I had with this office began with one of my first appointments. I was told I had a cavity that needed to be filled even though I felt no mouth pain within this time before going in to get my cavity filled. After I had the filling completed I had pain with eating in that area immediately after. I just assumed it was from the filling though and that it was part of the healing process. Long story short, I came in a few times within the months to follow for adjustments

New to state of Colorado I was looking for new doctors, dentists, etc.... I decided on The Center for Family Dentistry based on the many great reviews. Huge Mistake! Mr. FRANCISCO DARQUEA allowed his dental assistant, or (someone who was obviously in training), to fill and drill two teeth! Why did I allow this? I assumed three things: (1). As doctors have went to using NP, that this was the new dental protocol as well. (2). My husband is in Air Force, our dental insurance had just recently changed, and assumed that this was all part of that change. (3). This is how the state of Colorado does dentistry

I am brand new to the state and was in need of a dentist, I found this office on google reviews and decided to give him a try. Lauren was my hygentist and she was very professional and nice. I am in the dental field myself and was a little nervous to have someone I didn't know clean my teeth, but she was wonderful, and a little "rough", but I like that haha because she actually gets down under the gum line to clean it all out, like a good hygentist is suppose to do! Not only were my teeth stain free but my gums were happy and the inflammation from tartar buildup went away completely

Had a crown done by Dr. Miller in 2010 and it bothered me ever since. I returned to him to have him look at it later and so did my regular dentist, no answers for the pain. It was always rough on inside edge and hurt to bite. It fell off this year, was recemented by another dentist, and now I find out that it has decay and bone loss under because the crown never fit right. I am losing that tooth and now need to pay for an implant. My new dentist says it's a shame I'm losing a tooth due to poor work by Dr. Miller. He should buy my implant! Looks like there are a lot of unhappy customers

I had to have several filling. Dr. Miller allowed a tech who was interviewing for a job and unfamiliar with the equipment to do the fillings unsupervised. After several hours in the chair, the Novocain wore off and had to be redone, and still the interviewing tech was allowed to continue. All of the fillings had to be redone later since they were not set correctly. A year later, I am still having pain from them. Dr. Miller gave me gift cards to try to make up for it, but what good are restaurants when it hurts to chew?

After looking for a dentist for a while, then deciding that i would just put it off, again... I came across several review of Dr. Miller on some other sites and decided to give his office a call. I have been extremely pleased with everything so far. The day before my first appointment, Dr. Miller called to see if there were any topics he could "ease my mind about" before my appointment or if i had any specific questions. I was stunned! I showed up for my appointment and was greeted by name, the took my picture and very promptly filled out all my paperwork and I was seen within 15 minutes

I couldn't be happier! The doctor and his assistants develop short and long-term plans for your mouth based on your goals regarding health, cosmetics, and cost! During planning they disclose insurance information to help with budgeting. Dr. Miller called personally to check on me after I had teeth filled and again when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. How thoughtful! They have a heated toilet for goodness sake! Customer service is king! The front desk staff is kind and patient. I had issues with my CareCredit card (not my fault) and they told me to go home and rest (teeth were just filled), and
