Columbia Smile Center

Steve Swalgren

Columbia Smile Center almost makes going to the dentist enjoyable. They are always friendly, the office is clean and comfortable, and they always see me on time. There are a lot of dentists closer to where I live but I’d rather drive the 30+ minutes to Columbia Smile Center.

I never write a review for a provider or firm after just one visit—I believe the true measure of a provider is the service delivery consistency over time. After being under Dr. Newman's care for a while now, I can confidently say he is an exceptional general dentist. Dr. Newman exemplifies patient-centered, compassionate dental care. He listens—truly listens—to his patients, never rushing, never lecturing, and always taking the time to walk you through exactly what’s going on in plain, easy-to-understand language.

Whether it's reviewing X-rays with you or outlining a treatment plan, he ensures you're informed and comfortable every step of the way. Recently, I faced an urgent situation involving both endodontic and periodontal concerns. Dr. Newman not only acted swiftly—coordinating a peer-to-peer call to my perio to secure same-day surgery—but did so with calm professionalism and genuine care. That level of attentiveness and advocacy is wonderful and rare. The entire office reflects this same commitment to patient care.

From the front desk staff to the dental assistants, everyone is warm, welcoming, and focused on creating a positive patient experience. Their attention to detail and professionalism make every visit smooth and stress-free. He is a dentist who blends clinical excellence with compassion, professionalism, and a personal touch.
