Nothing but great things to say! Friendliest staff, knowledgeable dentists, cutest office service dog, fantastic views of the city, thorough cleaning. Super glad I found this practice and highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Melanie! We read all our reviews and appreciate the time and effort that goes into them. Thank you for choosing us and welcome to our Dental family!
What a wonderful experience I had. Everyone here was so kind and helpful from setting up the appointment to getting checked in by Audree to having my teeth cleaned by the doctor themselves! The view from the office is amazing looking out at the city and they offer comfort amenities that just make it an overall fantastic experience

Caring, attentive, knowledgable staff. Thank you!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Terry! We really appreciate it! Have a great day!
I absolutely love coming to Rittenhouse Smiles (as much as one can love the dentist). Having lived in five different states, I've had to find new dentists each time, and without a doubt, Rittenhouse Smiles stands out as my favorite of all the dental offices I've visited. I discovered this practice about a year ago and have been back a few times since. The team is consistently warm and welcoming, creating such a positive atmosphere. Dr. Cronin truly takes the time to sit down with you, explaining your options in detail and walking you through what she's seeing. I really appreciate her transparent communication. Julie, the hygienist, is wonderful—so kind and personable. This office has completely changed my perspective on dental visits; I no longer dread going! I rave about Rittenhouse Smiles to everyone I know, especially about the amazing staff and their comfort menu.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Hayley!!! 😊
Such a friendly and professional team here! Zoe was super knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions, making sure I felt comfortable and informed. You can tell she really cares about her patients. Shoutout to Liv for getting me in for a cleaning the day after I called—quick appointments like that are hard to come by in the city! Really appreciate their efficiency and kindness. Highly recommend!
One of the best dental visits I've had -- I wasn't an established patient but chipped a tooth last night and was able to book an appointment to be seen this morning. I spoke to Shalu on the phone, who was kind and very professional when explaining my options, including different pricing plans. I arrived to meet her, Olivia, and Hank, the adorable playful office dog, who brightened my day even more. The check-in process was smooth, and there are numerous options from the "Wellness Menu" to make any wait, and the treatment itself, easier. Cherelle was my dental x-ray tech and was very fun to talk to. She knew exactly what she was doing and made the rather uncomfortable process of taking x-rays smooth. Dr Cooper did my assessment. She was friendly and very thorough, and she took the time to explain everything she was doing as well as what she saw, in real time. 100% recommend this place if you're looking for friendly, efficient, and most importantly, proactive, dental work!
It’s easy to see why Dr. Cronin has been named "Top Dentist" seven years in a row. The practice has amazing views in every room, state-of-the-art equipment, and a clean, modern, welcoming atmosphere. Andrea is fantastic. She's attentive, knowledgeable, thorough, and takes the time to explain every step of the way. She made me feel completely comfortable, and I knew I was in great hands the entire time. This was truly a 5-star experience.
Always a great experience! The whole team is so friendly.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Luke!!!!
I recently started going to Rittenhouse Smiles after putting off finding a new dentist for a while and my experience was great! I struggle with hygiene habits and general anxiety with going to the dentist. Dr. Cooper was very kind to thoroughly explain everything she was doing and was concerned about without making me feel ashamed. They have a lot of accommodations for people and are easy to book with!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Gabrielle for sharing your experience! We think Dr. Cooper is awesome too! Thank you for choosing us🥰 Have a great weekend …
You'll get the greast cleanings! Well informed staff and great views of the city.
First visit to Rittenhouse Smiles. Nice, clean and modern office. The dental assistant, Destiny got me settled in the exam room
Dr Kate Cooper was very gentle and friendly.
Response from the owner:Hi Suzanne! Thank you so much! We really enjoyed reading your review and loved your photo🥰. Thank you for choosing us! Have a great day!!!
My teeth are clean
I’m a new patient at Rittenhouse Smiles with Dr. Cooper. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. The comfort menu is an amazing touch! Weighted blankets?! Neck pillows?! WINE?!? And more! Very thorough exam too. Views of the city are amazing. Plus treats on your way out. Am recommending to all my friends.

Response from the owner:So sweet~ Thank you so much Bianca! We always read our reviews! They make us smile. Thank you again!
I had such a positive experience at my first appointment with Rittenhouse Smiles. I have moved a lot in recent years and have a hard time finding new dentists that I like and trust, so I was absolutely thrilled to have found this office. I felt informed and comfortable the entire time, and everyone on the staff is so friendly!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Caitlin! We really appreciate your effort to write a review and share your experience. We read all of them and are so passionate about what we do. Thank you for the feedback and thank you for choosing us!
I had an amazing experience at Rittenhouse Smiles. Everyone helped me to feel comfortable and answered all of my questions the staff it helped me very much I would highly recommend them.
They are so friendly and accommodating. Went over the entire procedure and pricing in detail so there were no surprises. Made me feel so comfortable!
I have had an excellent experience thus far as a patient at Rittenhouse Smiles. It is a very professional operation, and the care is absolutely top notch. Kudos to Dr. Cronin and her team!
I appreciated the clear communication with Dr. Cronin. She took the time to explain about my options and what I could do to not only to take care of my current situation but also prevent issues in the future. The whole team is friendly and made me very comfortable
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Rachelle. We really appreciate it! Happy Holidays & Happy New Year ~ see you in 2025!!
Initially contacted them due to a molar breaking over the weekend. They responded the next day and scheduled me for that Monday. Everyone was very polite and caring. Dr. Boules was very thorough when examining my tooth and at explaining every detail. I ended up getting a crown and the process was super smooth and my tooth was fixed pretty quickly with no issues. I’m actually in the process of making Rittenhouse Smiles my primary dental practice.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Francisco! We really appreciate your time to write and share your experience. Thank you for choosing us!
New patient relocating to CC. Made comfortable and said many things my prior dentist would have said. Off to a great start!
Response from the owner:That is such a compliment. Thank you for your kind words & for choosing us! welcome to Center City Philly!!!
I have been having some dental issues lately as a result of an illness. They did a great job helping me preserve what I’ve got left! I will actually smile for photos again
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience. We are beyond happy to hear that you’re smiling again! It’s what we enjoy doing most & grateful you chose us! Have a wonderful weekend😊
Dr Cronin will take great care of you! ALL of the staff here are tremendous!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Heidi! We really appreciate your kindness and your time to share your experience. Happy New Year!! see you in 2025!
I just returned to the dentist after an almost 4 year hiatus due to some significant dental anxiety. As a new patient at Rittenhouse Smiles, I never felt judged for the gap in my dental care. Dr. Boules took the time to explain what was going on with my teeth and what the care plan would be in terms I could understand. The office was very transparent regarding price, which I appreciated, and worked with me to break up the much very large task of catching up on my dental care into smaller appointments to make sure I was able to handle them.

I just went back for the first of several appointments to get some cavities filled and again, I never felt judged and felt like I knew exactly what was going on. I appreciate that they took the time to start slow and make sure I had as good of an experience as possible. And I did — I was so happy and relieved at the end I cried! It feels dramatic but it’s been more than ten years since I visited a dentist without feeling genuine distress during a procedure, and I am just thrilled and relieved to have a dentist I can go to confidently and fairly calmly. I really feel like they aren’t just trying to get me through the appointment with minimal anxiety, but also trying to help me work through the dental anxiety as a whole. I feel so much better about my next appointment already and am so grateful to have found this office!!
Response from the owner:Our team is smiling knowing we helped another person☺️through their anxiety and guide them with support towards better health. Thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing your experience with us❣️
Dentist and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating

Been coming here for almost 4 years now. Super friendly staff and very professional 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you SO much Luke! We really appreciate it and thank you for choosing us to care for your smile!
Kind and wonderful staff! Made me feel comfortable and in a safe space. Thorough evaluation by the dentist and customized treatment plan so I know my oral health will be perfect!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alexandra. We really appreciate the time that you took out of your day to share your experience! Thank you again!
I had an outstanding experience at Rittenhouse Smiles! From the moment I walked in and felt the calm energy of the office, I knew this place was different. They go above and beyond with their hospitality, offering a “comfort menu” to ensure every patient feels at ease. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and professional (shoutout to Haley, Julie, Shalu, Audree and Dr. Mark).

The office has a calming, positive atmosphere with gorgeous views, and they even have an emotional support service dog for those who need extra comfort. I highly recommend Rittenhouse Smiles to anyone looking for a dentist that truly values the patient experience. Can’t wait for my next appointment!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dani! We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us! Have an incredible weekend and thank you again for your kind words and for trusting us with your dental care😊
So lovely and professional! Cured my dental anxiety 🙂
Response from the owner:That’s wonderful news! Thank you for sharing your experience & for choosing us. We really appreciate it!
Everyone at Rittenhouse Smiles is kind, friendly, and exceptionally talented. Their commitment to high quality health care with a personal touch is evident in every visit. As someone who is very afraid of all things dental, it’s surprising that I look forward to visiting my friends at the practice when it’s time for my checkups.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Heather! It means so much to our entire team that you shared your thoughts and experience! Thank you again! Have a great weekend!
Dr. Cronin and her team are fabulous. She is competent, confident, quick, and careful. Not only do I feel listened to, she goes the extra mile to ensure your comfort and safety while you're in her chair. She always says, "Remember you're in control; if you need me to stop for any reason, just raise your hand." She understands that the dentist can be an unpleasant place, and she takes care to make things as comfortable as possible for her clients. I cannot recommend her more!
Response from the owner:Wow~ thank you so much Alisa! We really appreciate your time to share your experience with us and your very kind words. Thank you for your trust in our team! Have a wonderful weekend 😊
The best experience I’ve ever had at a dental office. Absolutely no shaming even though I haven’t been to the dentist in over 5 years. They took great care of me and Dr. Mark was so kind, thorough and answered all of my questions. I was able to get my cleaning done and cavities filled all at once completely pain free. Would highly recommend!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Katie! We read our reviews at our meetings so we always appreciate them. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to share your experience with us 😊. We are so happy you had a great visit!
I’ve had a great experience here. Everyone is so friendly and kind. They make going to the dentist not scary at all!! Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Wonderful! We really try to make dentistry less scary for every patient so thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I had an out-of-town emergency and they accepted me in same day. I felt very comfortable going to this office. The doctor was knowledgeable and compassionate. She also did an immediate referral for me to an oral surgeon for the same day. All of the workers were exceptionally kind and caring. I recommend this office for your needs. Thank you, Rittenhouse Smiles, for the tender care.
Response from the owner:Thank you Toni. We are wishing you a quick recovery. Safe travels back to your home and please stop in to see us whenever you’re up here again. Take care 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you, Tessa!
I have been going here for several years and they have made me a believer of going to the dentist! Such kind and professional care that I have gotten from them over the years with my teeth made me glad I picked coming here over anyone else.
Response from the owner:Thank you thank you thank you😊!!! We really appreciate your time to share your thoughts~
I had an amazing experience at Rittenhouse Smiles! I recently moved to Philly and needed to schedule with a dentist quickly. I had been recommended Rittenhouse Smiles by multiple people, and when I called them, they were beyond accommodating and were able to squeeze me in the next day. The office was warm, welcoming and calming. Thank you Rittenhouse Smiles!
Response from the owner:We are full of gratitude! Thanks for your kind words Elizabeth😊
Best office ever! When I tell people about the 'comfort menu' they can barely believe it! Hot lavender towels? Glass of wine? Support dog on Wednesdays?! Wow! Really informative and will walk you through everything that's going on (they asked me if I wanted to know more or less first) super friendly too! I recommend to all my friends.
Response from the owner:Thank you so very much! Your kind words are greatly appreciated!!!
Amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable staff!! Highly recommend
Response from the owner:Ahhh thank you so much, Brenna!
Dr. Cronin took such good care of my father and all his dental issues. Her office staff is a such wonderful and caring team. Dr. Cronin made my dad feel comfortable with each procedure, and we truly appreciate her expertise, kindness, and taking the time to explain each process with my dad and the importance of prevention and dental hygiene and care.
Response from the owner:It was our pleasure, Tina! Thank you so much for sharing your experience about our office and thank you for your trust in our entire team. Have a great day😊
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Shalu !
I began going to Rittenhouse Smiles in 2023 on the word of a coworker. A year later, with two dental exams and two fillings appointments later, I trust this team wholeheartedly to help in the care of my hygiene and teeth! Personable, detail oriented, and friendly, it’s wild to find myself calm and excited to go to the dentist. Even though I have since moved out of the city, I will continue to schedule with them, as they care about the health of their patients!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Hannah! We Really appreciate your kind words and for sharing your experience with us overall🥰🦷
Best cleaning of my life! Thank you Zoe!
So gentle and kind.
Response from the owner:Awesome! Yes, we love Zoe too! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Have a great day!🤗
Dr. Cronin and her staff have made dental care easy and pleasant for my family and me for many years. I was relieved when she was also able to expertly attend to my dental injuries that resulted from a bad accident. Everyone I’ve referred ti this practice has also had a similar positive experience. Dr. Cronin also has a trusted network of providers with whom she entrusts patients when a particular specialist is needed. Thank you, Dr. Cronin!
Response from the owner:Thank you Kathryn! You’ve been one of our biggest fans for so many years. Thank you for your trust in our team and for the positive energy that you bring each and every visit🥰
Incredible. They take their time with you and the cleanings are very thorough and detailed and I always leave feeling very taken care of knowing my teeth are in good hands!
Response from the owner:Thank you Eunhye! We completely agree! We are so fortunate to have both Zoe and Julie as our hygienists. Thank you so much for sharing your experience publicly. We really appreciate it!
The receptionist, hygienist and dentist were all extremely friendly and welcoming! The office was clean and had a nice view of the city. They offered lots of things to deal with nervousness, including a cute emotional support dog. This was my first non-scary dental experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Elena! We really appreciate your kind words and time to write a review. Have a wonderful day!
Dr. Cronin & Co. are the BEST!!!!!! Everyone is excellent at their job, very kind and welcoming, and the views are great too. Rittenhouse Smiles for life!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Davey! we value our patients feedback and we appreciate your time to share your experience. Have a great day!
No better dentist around. Professional service, knowledgable staff, and very impressive level of tools/technology. I've struggled to find an honest dentist that isnt just focused on transactions. Here you get the impression Dr. Cronin truly cares about your dental health, and Audree at the front desk is so friendly and accomodating.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dylan! We really appreciate your time to share your experience publicly. Thank you again from all of us at Rittenhouse smiles❤️🦷

I cannot say enough about the consistent quality of impeccable care and treatment that I have received over the years at this dental office. The careful concern for detail and the welfare of the patient: is beyond the standard level of care. It is superlative.

Over the years, I have had extensive dental repairs: basically this office rebuilt my mouth. Without fail, careful and cautious, analysis of each tooth was done, along with careful, explanations of all procedures, with decreasing my anxieties along the way. I feel safe and secure with this dental office.

These comments are only a microcosm of most of my thoughts.

Dr. Modesto and the rest of the team are amazing! First time here and had a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and professional.

Frank S.

Fantastic. The whole crew is friendly and efficient. I really appreciate that Dr Cronin takes the time to explain everything as she goes. They were very flexible and accommodating when I had a minor dental emergency. I highly recommend this office.

The dental gods where looking over me today. Doctor Cronin was able to find the extra canal so now I don’t have to see a specialist. Thanks Dr. Cronin, Joanna and Heather.
