Dental Assistant – Manalapan, NJ
“The Smilist is a fairly new company, however we have been able to grow in such a small amount of time. The frequent changes have stressed some employees out but the changes are due to evolving for the better. We are able to take care of patients efficiently and faster. During the COVID pandemic we have been able to see the true character behind The Smilist. A caring and loyal company. They have tried to retain most employees and have gone above and beyond.”
Regional Manager – Nassau County
