Patient Review
I had a complicated root canal done seven months ago. The procedure was long and excruciating and my face blew up like a balloon afterwards. Several months later, it became obvious my tooth was still infected due to excruciating headaches. I decided to go to a new endodontist and found Dr. McEntire online. I was dreading my appointment but knew I needed to go. Long story short, the day after my procedure I have little to no swelling or pain. I am overjoyed! Dr. McEntire is very skilled, has great communication skills, and best of all, he’s a horseman. Seriously, I highly recommend Palmetto Endodontics and especially for scaredycats like me.

Patient Review
I was referred to Dr McEntire by my dentist Dr Hazelrigg for a second opinion on some pain I was having and not knowing the source . The pain got better so I canceled my appointment than it came back. Called the office and it was no problem to get me in. When I ask how long the appointment would be she said quick because we are putting you in between other appointments. So in my mind I said this is going to be a rush appointment. But when I tell you professional from the beginning to the end !!! The staff was so nice , explain things etc. and than I got to meet Dr McEntire and that was it for me he took so much time explain things just a wonderful man and working in healthcare that means a lot !!! Already went for a fu and it was just as better than the first !!! I would recommend any and everyone I know to see Dr McEntire.
