Experiencia fantástica: I have severe dental anxiety. I went to see Dr. Forwood for sensitivity. They got me in within a week. They were so nice with my anxiety, talking me through everything, and reassuring me throughout. He found a very tiny cavity that he thinks was the culprit of the sensitivity. They got me in the next day for the filling and were even able to move my cleaning appointment up by a couple of months to be done right after my filling.

Experiencia fantástica: Appt on 4/1 /25Excellent service. My cleaning was efficient and did not take long ( but my teeth are in excellent shape, and I floss daily). The higentist was knowledgeable and answered my questions honestly, and did not attempt to push products that i did'nt need even though I inquired about if I should acquire them. Office staff is kind and friendly and Dr Forwood is kind and he and his staff answerd all my questions. There was no wait time, as I was seen immediately; I never sat down in the waiting room. Appt on 4/8/25..this was to fix my teeth in my teeth in the front ( see second photo). Dr Forwood did an excellent job. You can see the difference. If you have concerns or wonder about if something can be addressed just ask. Dr Forwood is very open and honest about what he can do and if it will be a positive outcome. Meaning it won't upset the apple cart in the future. I had inquiries about another issue but Dr Forwood explained why it wouldn't be feasible to do what I asked, as it would cause problems later down the road. My last dentist would have done what I asked without giving it a second thought. ( Another reason I'm glad I switched). I really appreciate Dr Forwood and his entire staff being honest and efficient. If you are looking for a provider to care for your teeth and you are tired of the constant change in staff from dental chains, then Swathmore Smiles with Dr Forwood is the way to go.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Forwood & the other staff. Let me start by saying I have very bad anxiety when it comes to dentists. I’ve had bad experiences in the past. So because of covid & a pregnancy, I basically haven’t been to the dentist since 2020. An old filling fell out & I searched for a dentist in my network. I went to another dentist office, who was horrible & said I needed 8 total fillings. Devastated, I found Swarthmore Smiles & asked for a second opinion. They saw me shortly after I called, were sympathizing with my situation, and the girls in the office even helped watched my two little kids in the waiting room during the consultation. Dr. Forwood came in & listened to what happened. He checked out my X-rays and looked at my teeth. He told me I needed just 2 fillings . I was relieved and so happy with his honesty. I made an appt for the fillings a week later. His dental assistant (I’m sorry I don’t know her name) was so caring and sweet. She really helped ease my nerves. I’ve had a bunch of cavities filled in the past, and when I tell you this was the best experience I’ve ever had, I mean it. I didn’t feel ANY pain, and that’s a first. I walked out of there feeling such incredible relief to have found an honest, caring dentist. I really can’t say enough good things about Swarthmore smiles! If you need a new dentist, this is your place!

Experiencia fantástica: The best dentist and staffing ever! Absolutely love this place.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff and dentist is so nice and friendly. They really care about their patients. Wish could give them 10 stars.

Experiencia positiva: Just moved to the area. My family has started going there. Front office staff, hygienists and dentist all seem very nice. Didn’t have to wait long for appt to be called for appt.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a very good experience with my new dentist, Dr. Forwood: Clean office, latest technology, pleasant staff, thorough cleaning and detailed follow up.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Foreword and his staff are excellent. They are fantastic with kids too! They treat my kids, who are 7 and 5 yrs old, like rock stars and they both look forward to having their teeth cleaned. They also enjoy the prize basket when they are done. Thank you for being such a family friendly place!

Experiencia fantástica: As someone with a lifelong fear of dentists, it’s wonderful to find a dentist and staff as compassionate and caring as Dr. Forwood.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very professional and so nice. I recommend that office to anyone. Great customer service.

Experiencia fantástica: I had an awesome experience with Dr. Forwood and his team. Maggie was my dental hygienist and she was phenomenal!! She was so patient and so kind, took her time and answered every question I had. It was honestly one of the best cleanings I’ve ever had and I’m crazy about my teeth. When I called, they originally couldn’t get me in for 6 months (first time patient with them) but they put me on the cancellation list and I was is in 3 weeks. Highly recommend and if you’re a new patient, don’t let the wait time deter you, they will definitely get you in if you go on the cancelation list. Worth the wait!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very accommodating and professional when my 75 year old father had a crown pop off while we were visiting friends in Swarthmore. We wish this were our hometown dentist office!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Forwood and his staff are great! I would recommend this practice to any of my family/friends. The office is very clean and the nurses and staff are super knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone is super friendly. Dr Forwood really knows what he is doing, and seems to have very up to date equipment. I can’t say enough about this place.
