Never have I been to a dentist facility that showed so much true care and this was a particularly hard appointment for me.It’s always a plus to be treated with kindness, especially when you feel it deep down.Top notch place with kindness stemming from initial phone visit (new patient talk) to upon leaving.Highly recommended.

Honestly the best dental care I have ever received. I havent been to a dentist in quite some time because quite frankly I hate it, but they were extremely nice and welcoming and made the experience pretty tolerable. They explained things in a comprehensive way and it shows that they genuinely enjoy working there. I would highly recommend them and would be returning there myself if it wasnt for my insurance being out of network.

I have been a patient of Dr. Volker for 2 years or so now.My biggest regret is that I wasnt a patient of his sooner.He is very skillful and friendly and I have never been so relaxed going to the dentist in my life. Everyone in his office is very friendly and makes you feel that they really appreciate your business.

Smile Connections isnt just a dental office. They are family. I have seen Doctor Volker since I was a little girl and his constant care for his clients has always made me feel appreciated. My biannual visit is so much more than just a typical dental cleaning. Their staff is always so welcoming and you are always receiving the best care at Smile Connections.

Review №16

I realize that a medical/dental practice is a business and needs to make a profit. However, as much as I like and respect those who are providing their service to me and the work they do, I sense that there is an attempt to up sell whatever new product or additional procedure that may not be necessary even though probably helpful. If cost and time were never an issue I might have a different opinion. But, with 17 years of sales in my past such things tend to make me question the “why” behind them.

Always a great experience with Smile Connections Family Dentistry! Shelly and Liz at the front desk are always so friendly and courteous. Cande my hygienist is so thorough, yet gentle, and always so pleasant to chat with. She explains dental health education so anyone can understand! Dr. Volker takes his times and looks at everything. Comparing old x-rays or images to new ones and as he is inspecting my mouth. Always gives sound advice and education on the latest dental health practices.

I was scared in coming in because I havent been to the dentist in a very long time. I searched on Google for dentists, & Smile Connections appeared to have the most positive reviews compared to others in the city. When I called to make an appointment, the receptionist was Super friendly! She explained the entire process being a new patient. Theyre very knowledgeable, prompt & timely! While waiting on the dentist, the hygienists make you feel at ease(Whitney was AWESOME!!]! Everythings explained to your understanding & Dr. Meng is the SWEETEST!! Everyone was AWESOME!!Love the atmosphere! Thanks for having me as a new patient!

Review №37

Todays visit was extremely productive not just regarding my dental care but understanding a procedure completed by another provider, in a better prospective. The staff is ALWAYS professional and courteous and are willing to take the time to help you understand what is best for their patients on an individual basis. Would definitely recommend them.

Yet another positive experience with Smile Connections today when I had my dentist appointment. They are taking the safety of their patients/clients very seriously during this time of CoVid. I’ve always been impressed with their professionalism and customer service but I have to say I have even more respect for them after today’s experience. Well done!

The staff always knows your different quirks about your mouth. Dr. Meng is always available after hours for an emergency phone call. She reassured me I would be okay until I could get in. The staff knows my history and treats me well. I highly recommend Smile Connections to anyone.I dont normally fill these out but theres always an exception to the rule! Five star rating in my book!

Review №44

If I could give Dr. Volker and Meng plus their staff 10 stars, I would! 5 stars just doesn’t cut it for how AMAZING the entire practice is. As a patient of Dr. Volker’s, I would consider Dr. Volker the most sought after dentist in Wichita, Kansas. Why? Because he cares, he educates himself DAILY, and he ensures his staff does the same! As a new wife and first time mother, I feel secure placing my families dental needs in his hands. My daughter will never know dental anxiety thanks to his superior abilities to diagnose, educate, and treat dental afflictions. You are not just a number at Smile Connections Family Dental. You are who they say you are, and that’s family. Do your teeth a favor, and schedule a new patient consult.

Smile Connections Family Dental is amazing! The staff is friendly and welcoming from the moment you call to make an appointment. They are great with patients of all ages; especially people that are nervous about dental work. They have always been willing to accommodate us in every situation from emergencies to our long drive. We may live 2 1/2 hours away, but Smile Connections Family Dental is worth the trip!

Friendly and competent. I switched to Smiles about 10 years ago and am happy I did. When my adult sons saw that I changed dentists, they followed me too - and never looked back. Now, almost my whole family goes here. I’ve also recommended Smiles to a friend for their teen daughter, and she is also pleased.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Volker and Smile Connections! I hadn’t been to the dentist in years, and as time went on I had become more embarrassed of going since I had so many issues. Dr. Volker and his staff are the most kind and amazing people! It’s all about making you comfortable, from the sweet ladies up front to the ladies that assist Dr. Volker!

Review №54

Candy cleaned my teeth today and she did one fine job! She said she has worked for Dr. Volker for several years now, but this is the first time I have ever met her. Kirsten usually cleans my teeth, but she wasn’t there today. All the dental hygienists are very nice and they all do a good job cleaning teeth, so it doesn’t matter which one I get. Dr. Volker came in and did a full mouth examination and had the hygienist take a couple pictures of my teeth; I think he saw something that could become problems later on. Uh oh! Nothing yet. He’s such a good doctor!! Thank you Smile Connections! 😊 ❤️

The front desk receptionist, Liz is friendly and very helpful. Candy cleans my teeth. You can schedule with the same person. Dr. Volker is the best dentist. He is explains everything he is doing and why it has to be done. I dont like shots, but Dr. Volker gives them and I dont feel a thing. He is good with children. My daughter has been going to him since she was 5. We have been going to him for over 20 years. He is the best.

I love Dr. Meng and all of the hygienists! I’ve been seeing her since she began when I was in elementary school. Everybody in the office makes you feel like you are family and truly care about your health. They will remind you to flossing or wear your retainer but it’s good because it reminds me to do them. They’re understanding when my busy college schedule forces me to change my appointment. I recommend them to everybody!

Took our teenager for a checkup/braces consultation. The hygienist & Doc were both attentive, professional & knowledgeable for all our questions. I was particularly impressed with the way they both listened to our 15-year-old. It was obvious they cared about what she had to say. The receptionists were also pleasant & very helpful. We are satisfied Smile Connections clients & will definitely spread the word!

I would like to thank Dr Volker for taking time as an emergency on his vacation day when I had a tooth break and cause immense pain. He was my savior that day and I appreciate he took the time to temporarily fix it, then meet with me the very next week to improve it, and now a few weeks later make the permanent solution on that tooth. I appreciate all his workers who are positive, smiling, and treat me with so much respect and kindness. Thank you to everyone at Smile Connections!!!
