What Families Say About Bright Healthy Smiles

Nothing tells the story of our practice better than the families who visit us every day. From a toddler's very first checkup to a teenager's last retainer fitting, parents across the Upper East Side and throughout Manhattan have shared what it's like to grow up at Bright Healthy Smiles — the warm welcomes, the patient explanations, the kids who actually ask to come back. We're grateful for every review, and we read each one as a family's trust in us. Browse their experiences below, and if your child is already part of our practice, we'd love for you to share yours.

What Our Families Have to Say

We've been patients at Bright Healthy Smiles since my kids were toddlers. Staff is great with children, dentists and hygienists explain procedures carefully and answer questions. We have two sons with different dental issues; each has a thoughtful treatment plan including orthodontist involvement. Highly recommend.

Returning Family

Best kids’ dentist ever! The children love being pampered by Emanuela and the friendly staff. There’s an Italian touch in pediatric dentistry here.

Dr. Corielli, Dr. Moursi, Dr. G and Dr. Charlotte are all great. We’re lucky to have Bright Healthy Smiles taking care of our children’s dental health.

My son adores Dr. Corielli. The office is clean, the staff is wonderful, and they know how to handle children. I recommend them to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist.

We’ve been patients for years. The level of care and competence at Bright Healthy Smiles is impressive. The office is pleasant and spotless. My kids actually beg to visit the dentist!

Returning Family

Our kiddos look forward to going to Dr. Corielli. The staff is wonderful, patient, encouraging. They explain everything so kids aren’t nervous. There’s even a therapy dog sometimes! My kids actually love going to the dentist.

Nervous Parent

Our first visit was outstanding. The office is modern and kid‑friendly, with interactive waiting areas. The dentist and his assistant were attentive, professional and even provided tips on nutrition. It felt like a fun outing rather than a medical appointment.

New Patient

Bright Healthy Smiles goes above and beyond. They answer all questions and make us feel comfortable. The space is clean and modern with iPads and TVs; my kids get excited to go to the dentist.

Satisfied Parent

Jessica was amazing at calming my very shy three‑year‑old. The practice is the best! My kids love going to the dentist.

Satisfied Parent

The whole visit is wonderfully thoughtful. You feel cared for, from the child’s psychological experience to a badly needed coffee for the parent. The team is superb and they pay attention to dental emergencies immediately. Comfort knowing your child’s teeth are in the best hands.

Happy Parent

I have been going to Dr. Corielli for 13 years with my kids (ages 14 and 11). The entire team is welcoming and supportive. We also use the orthodontists for braces and Invisalign. Highly recommend.

Patients for 13 Years

We’re grateful to Dr. Corielli and Dr. Benichou. They know how to make children feel comfortable, handled a dental emergency exceptionally and we couldn’t be happier.

Happy Parent

The dentists and hygienists are professional and kind. My child is no longer afraid and looks forward to the next visit. We’re grateful for this practice.

Relieved Parent

Dr. Corielli is truly phenomenal. She knows exactly how to deal with toddlers, jokes around to make them feel comfortable and explains everything to parents. The office is so cheerful and light and the staff is professional and smiling. We have been going for seven years.

Returning Family Member

Dr. Charlotte did my Invisalign. She made the process comfortable and enjoyable. I love my teeth now and can’t stop smiling. Highly recommend.

Orthodontic Patient

Dr. Corielli is incredible! My 10‑year‑old son with special needs loves going to the dentist. She is gentle, caring and skillful. I highly recommend Bright Healthy Smiles.

Special Need Patient's Parent

As a mother of five, including a special‑needs daughter, I’ve never had better care. The staff explain everything and treat each child gently. Dr. Corielli calmed my three‑year‑old while extracting her tooth. The new uptown office has iPads and high‑definition screens. We always feel welcome.

Returning Family

We’ve been with Bright Healthy Smiles for over 10 years. Dr. Corielli and her team feel like family. Their hygienists gently teach good habits and they supported us when my daughter sucked her thumb. It’s a welcoming environment we trust completely.

Long-Time Patient

My toddler’s first dental appointment was a big success thanks to Dr. Corielli. Her expertise and warm personal touch put us at ease. We look forward to future visits!

New Patient

The whole team is always friendly, professional and never pushy. We ive over 1 hour from their office but that's worth it.

Christian D

The office is amazing, the staff is terrific, and Dr. Corielli is exceptional. She puts kids at ease and the office is vibrant with fun waiting areas. She communicates effectively with kids and parents. She is just wonderful!

The kids feel right at home at Bright Healthy Smiles and the staff helps with insurance. I don’t stress about appointments anymore.
