I began my journey with Dr. Nick Murphy in 1979 and have been going to him ever since. I can say, without a doubt, that Dr. Murphy has been the most caring, considerate and helpful dentist I've ever been to in my 80 years. I am extremely sensitive and in all these years he has never hurt me in any way. He takes a lot of care to make sure I am comfortable as do all his employees. His office is easy to get to, right off the freeway with plenty of parking. I highly recommend him. Thanks, Nick, for all the years.

I have been a patient here for over 30 years. I would not consider going any where else. Dr. Mark Leopold was my dentist for quite a while and now Dr. Ian Leopold is my. dentist. Both are outstanding. Teckie is my hygienist. She is the best ever! Anyone who needs dental work, this is the place to call.

I get wonderful, thoughtful care at SLO Smiles. It begins as you walk into the office and are greeted by their caring staff who make you feel welcome and are truly happy to see you. Also, the staff is very good at explaining benefits and out of pocket costs. Dr Ian Leopold and his assistant, Izzy are very kind and always checking to see how your feeling (anxiety wise), and to make sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. I do travel about 40 mi to get to the office, but I wouldn't go anywhere else. I always recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for a new dentist.

Hands down the best dental office I’ve ever received services from. Everyone who works there is a joy to meet and my hygienist Tackie is not only one of the funniest people I’ve ever met but also very thoughtful and professional too. I’ve always had anxiety when going to the dentist but Dr. Main and his staff have always made me feel at ease. It’s reassuring to know I’ll always get the best dental care at SLO Smiles!

SLO Smiles cares about quality. They talk about it - teaching more about brushing, flossing, other cleaning techniques, bacteria. And they try to give best practice. I want to keep my teeth. I feel they will help me with this.

I have been a patient of Dr. Murphy for about 16 years, for just about everything, broken teeth, need for crowns and composites, and simple cavities. Dr. Murphy is very, very professional while being sensitive, friendly, and easy to talk to. His staff is very helpful and knowledgeable with quick appointments and fully transparent billing. I am not a dentist, but a doctor myself, and I know the other side of the fence. What's that old saying, "This guy really knows his stuff...", that's Dr. Murphy. James

Recently moved to the area and ended up with a terrible toothache. Dr. Leopold and his wonderful staff squeezed me in on a Saturday, discussed all my options, and painlessly resolved my toothache. Friendly, courteous, and professional, I have found my family’s new dentist.

I started coming to this office a few years ago with much trepidation because my previous experiences with dentistry had produced in me an intense fear of pain. I always feared my regular hygiene appointments. But not at SLO Smiles!!! My hygienist Maria is a top-notch, highly-skilled, ultra-professional who has carefully listened to my concerns and cared for me so well that I am now able to relax throughout the entire visit. I no longer dread my visit to the dentist! Maria gets an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10, I wish I could shout from a mountaintop about her dedication, thoroughness, and quality patient care. Dr Main is a gem as well, a highly skilled and true professional in every sense. i feel that I am really in good hands with him and that my well-being is his biggest concern. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful! I am so very glad I found SLO Smiles! They make me very happy

I have been in good hands at SLO Smiles for over 40 years. I cannot say enough about the wonderful Doctors and Staff that I have seen throughout the years. Everyone is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and caring. When there are options for treatment, all possibilities are explained before decisions are made. I recently finished getting dental implants. The process was explained to me in detail before we began, and all questions were answered during the process. The experience was absolutely pain free, and I am thrilled with the look and feel of my "new" teeth. Just wish I had done it sooner! btw My husband and 2 grown children are also great fans of SLO Smiles.

Excellent! Dr. Main combines conversation and exam to address dental concern. By getting to know a patient's health and lifestyle, he gives a patient strategies, treatment if necessary, and most of all, confidence to partner in her or his own dental health.

I've been coming to this office for years now for routine checkups and hygiene, ortho, and now recently Invisalign, and have always had a wonderful experience. The appointments are on-time, the staff is friendly, and its super comfortable. Dr. Main and his assistants are amazing! He genuinely cares about your needs and and always takes his time to ensure you are cared-for. I feel the team is honest and looks out for my best interest. I always recommend them to my friends and family.

Everyone in the office is always very helpful and professional, with some great humor. We have recommended your office to many people and we plan on staying with you for a long time! Thanks for all the wonderful work you all spend with me. And, for keeping my "smiles" great!!

I just got done with my crown removal and cavity filling, I can’t believe how easy and pain free the experience was. I am thrilled with Dr Murphy’s care. I was dreading this procedure thinking I would be numb for hours and my mouth sore, but instead I listened to classical music and did not have any pain whatsoever. I didn’t have to be numb except for topical. I can now go have lunch and enjoy my day. Thank you Dr Murphy for your kindness, being gentle, professionalism, and being so conscientious.

As has been the case for many years now, my experience has been the best! The quality and comfort are fantastic as is the entire staff that I have interacted with. I count convenience as on time appointment schedule, which is the case whenever I have had an appointment and certainly was today!

Everyone was extremely professional and friendly. Patient comfort is important to them and it shows. Also, when I was looking to schedule my exam they were able to get me in within the week. Kim was awesome and made the whole experience fast and easy. I would highly recommend them.

Thank you Dr. Main, Jamie and your entire staff for another exceptional visit to the dentist. While on vacation I experienced a severe toothache and had to return home. Dr. Main scheduled me the following day for what would be a lengthy procedure. I am so appreciative of the time and care that was taken by Dr. Main and Jamie. The same evening Dr. Main took the time to call me at home and check on me after my procedure, so very thoughtful. They are diligent and efficient in their work and I could not be any happier to recommend SLO Smiles to anyone.

SLO Smiles is a great name because the whole office and professional staff seems happy at their work. They are not only highly competent but they also educate their patients. They listen attentively to needs and are careful with patients' stress and pain issues. The lobby is beautiful, with pictures of soaring birds and scenes from nature. A lot of thought and in-depth training has gone into the dental practice of SLO Smiles. I actually look forward to going to the dentist!

I have tried many dentists and this is by far the best place I have been. They accommodate my schedule and treat me so well. The cleanings are painless and my dental hygiene and health have improved since coming here. Thank you! I’m happy I’ve found a place to stick with.

Once again, great experience. My hygienist, Maria, is the best. I am a home hygiene fanatic, and she always gives me tips on how to do the best job possible in between my visits, as well as doing an excellent job. I also like that the practice keeps up on all the latest advancements in dentistry.
