Patient Review
I needed a good bit of work and these folks were great. Dr McEntire also helped me communicate better with my general dentist. It made a big difference for me. Thanks

Patient Review
The overall experience at this dental office with the doctor and staff was extremely professional and kind. My discomfort was addressed quickly and efficiently. The Dr. even offered to make an appointment available during his lunch hour so that I could be seen to get me out of pain. And the office décor is incredible.

Patient Review
I was terrified about having a root canal from the stories I was told by others. I can honestly say that they were all wrong! The procedure was painless, and my doctor (Mayes McEntire) did an awesome job in performing my root canal. He demonstrated so much compassion, and that took the fear completely away. I had the best experience. Many thanks to the staff and my wonderful doctor for taking good care of me. I will definitely recommend Palmetto Endodontics to everyone.
