What can I say “THEY ARE CHANGING LIFES ONE SMILE AT A TIME “😭. Honestly my family’s experience at Star Smiles has been exceptional. Kudos to the hiring department!!! Seems like everyone that works at Star Smiles are very happy to work there which I’m sure is directly related to the customer experience.
