Everyone that works in that office is nothing but a professional. Extremely helpful and always polite. Moved to Maryland a few years ago and I found the best Dentist I’ve ever been to. Every procedure I’ve ever had done Dr. Holsinger has always called me personally to ask how I’m doing afterwards. Their attitude and the way I’m treated makes me look forward to going to the dentist.

I love everyone here. From the dentists and hygienists to the front desk staff. They are all super friendly and knowledgeable. They run a tight ship as far as appointments go and it is much appreciated. There is very little wait time if any and the technology used is always up to date if not ahead of its time. Very cutting edge.

I love this place!!! I wish I could give it a 10 star rating, but that's alright because I know in my heart. The whole staff is very unique and are very family oriented , which I simply love!!! I can talk and laugh with them like I have known them forever!!! :) I call this place "Dentist Wonderland"!!! When I fist pulled into the driveway I thought I was at the wrong place because it looked like a cozy, warm cottage tucked away in the quiet country setting. I said to myself, "Oh wow I cannot believe this place!! This is Smiles by Holsinger and Higgins?!" I was very impressed how each and every one is so cordial, serviceable, knowledgeable, and understanding even when extremely busy!!! They are comprehensive. I felt like I was in Johns Hopkins hospital because of all their updated and wide variety of equipment!!! It was such an amazing experience!!! They even have bird feeders outside each window which is so calming and peaceful!!! Even though I was already fully relaxed and experienced absolutely no fear at all!!! The equipment wanted me to stay longer just to see how it all worked!!! I was/am very intrigued!!! I completed my second appointment today and I am already looking forward to my next visit soon!!!!! It's just that kind of place!!! Oh, another thing that I am absolutely thrilled about is that everything that I need/want done can ALL be done right here!!!!! No long trips across the bridge or Salisbury!!! THANK YOU DR'S HOLSINGER AND HIGGINS!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!! AWE!!! One more VERY SPECIAL service of love that drew my attention as I was leaving, that I saw Dr. Higgins pulling out a wheel chair for a dear elderly lady!!! Who does that anymore!!!!????? God bless you in a VERY SPECIAL WAY DR. HIGGINS!!!! As I keep getting ready to sign off, I keep having another special and fond memory. As it seemed the party was over {LOL} when I got into my car, I was in no hurry to leave {very unusual for me when leaving a Dentist office} I just sat in my car mesmerized by the unusual and unique experience that I had, and admiring the peaceful surroundings and setting. As I sat down in the waiting room, I picked up a book about and on Dr. Holsinger and Dr. Higgins. I praised Dr. Higgins about just the little bit that I had time to read. That I am VERY impressed with ALL their accomplishments and for what they do for humanity!!! I said it takes a lot to impress me, and you REALLY have impressed me!!! Dr. Higgins humbly replied, "That's how we were raised." May God abundantly bless you both for all that you do, in Jesus name, amen!!! I thank God for you!!!! Sincerely, TC

I have never been a fan of the dental community. Only going if ABSOLUTELY necessary. It had been at least 6 years since I had even seen a dentist. My teeth have been failing for a few years and now that I have a good dental plan I started seeking out a local dentist. I deceided to give Holsinger & Higgins a try. When I met the staff I instantly felt at ease and and welcome. I cannot say enough good things about them.
