Patient Review
Great office and great staff

Patient Review
Takes really good care of their patients and cares about how you are feeling. I have had two root canals and didn't feel anything at all.

Patient Review
I have to report, my first ever root canal process was a breeze! My dentist confirmed the problem during emergency appointment and secured my "next morning" appointment with Dr. M. McEnitre before I completed my cleaning procedure! The anticipation and anxiety throughout the night was gone as the highly qualified staff and gentle manner with which Dr. McEntire attended to me got underway. Reassurances and process updates during the procedure were very calming. Such a "Pro" we have in Dr. McEntire here in the Columbia area, made my experience a positive one. The support staffers were kindly concerned and I feel I have New Friends in the area! I hope I may have many a chance to refer potential patients to this fine facility and doctor.
