"I'd rather walk on a bed of nails than go to the dentist. But my entire experience at VIP Smiles was fun, almost like a day at the spa. From the moment I walked through the door and was greeted by the receptionist (I won't put names for fear of misspelling) to every other staff member I felt warmth and caring. You guys have a wonderful, light-hearted bedside manner, while still maintaining the professionalism. I love that Dr. Austin promptly came to introduce herself. I enjoyed every aspect of my visit. Thanks for making me feel like a VIP!!!"

"As long as I can remember, visiting the dentist was never a pleasant experience for me. In this event, I didn't know what to expect before I arrived to Dr. Austin's office. I have to say, and I can't stress enough how pleasant both she and her staff were to me. They made it such a pleasurable experience, so much so, that I almost forgot I was in a dentist office. I have already referred my family as well as my friends to this office. I look forward to my next dental appointment. Thanks again, for an awesome experience."

"I love the staff at VIP Smiles including of course the lovely brainiac behind it all...Dr. Austin. Although my last visit was in 2004, I never forgot the wonderful experience. I won't boost it by saying "I'm afriad of the dentist", that would be a lie. I'm entirely a sucker for outstanding customer service and that is what I'll never forget about you & your team. The name V.I.P. Smiles is truly the most appropriate name you could have choosen for your practice. I'm still smiling from my last appointment. Thanks!!!!"

"My last appointment was scheduled for 1:30 PM and I appreciated getting a call to let me know that Dr. Austin was running behind schedule, to come in at 3 PM instead. By the time I got there, Dr. Austin was ready to see me so I didn't have to wait around or take an extended lunch break!"

"Dr. Austin's staff is comparable to the Ritz or Four Seasons hotels! They make you feel like you're the dentist and have control over what treatment should be done. The vibe is warm, living-room like, easy and always filled with energy and laughter. Dr. Austin is the best!!!!"

"Dr. Austin is an awesome dentist. There is a personal touch in her office I haven’t felt with any other dentist I’ve been to. Yes, she does the standard services to make your teeth and gums healthy, but she goes the extra mile to make sure your smile is dazzling. I love that about her! Most importantly, she understands and emphasizes how important your smile is, especially if you are in the entertainment industry. I travel back to New York just to see her. I’m not fully dressed without my VIP Smile!"

Offering the Best in Cosmetic Dentistry
What started out as a routine visit to the dentist changed a young lady’s life and her future.
I never felt confident about my teeth. I never liked the look of my smile.” Young Catrise Austin thought she would be stuck forever, hiding behind a smile that didn’t make her feel pretty or confident. She thought that she was simply going to have to live life with what she was given. However, a routine “dental experience,” as she calls it, changed her forever.
Inspired, Catrise completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, majoring in psychology. She wisely believed that understanding the emotional impact of dentistry on her patients was as important as mastering the necessary medical knowledge. Her intuition proved to be beneficial as her clinical interaction during her second portion of dental school went so well that she completed her requirements early and created an award winning senior presentation on HIV in the Mid-life and Elderly Population.
A great deal of Dr. Austin’s relaxation time was spent in New York City upon graduating from Dental School and it was during this time Dr. Austin found herself in the presence of Chris Rock, Tracey Morgan, Mike Epps, Dave Chappelle, and other up and coming comedians as she frequented The Boston Comedy Club. In the midst of her celebrity-driven downtime, she had an epiphany. That’s when the “Dentist to the Stars” was born. “I knew that they had to have the best smiles of all and after realizing that I couldn’t work for someone and be as successful as I had envisioned, I knew I had to start my own practice.” Describing herself as self-motivated, Dr. Austin found herself acquiring much her clientele from record labels, comedy clubs, and other New York hot spots. Because of her prime location, she was exposed to many celebrity clients who heard that “The Dentist to the Stars” was doing great things with smiles.
But beyond the celebrated elite, Dr. Austin’s true goal is to empower and educate ALL about the importance of dental health, oral hygiene. “The benefits are a blessing, but my motivation is to make people be their best.” Her commitment to her patients is exemplary. “I don’t double-book and my appointments are at least an hour. When I schedule time for you, it is a reservation! It’s not a rushed environment. Every patient gets their deserved time. I would not be able to deliver the care I do with just 30 minutes.”
