Patient Review
I have seen Dr. Mayes McEntire three times. The first time I was in pain with an infection and couldn't get a dentist to see me immediately but he and his brother Mark did. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and careful when caring for a patient. Twice I was able to benefit from the fact that his brother Mark is also a dentist and both helped resolved my dental problems. These two great brothers coordinated the best dental service I needed. I felt very secured seeing them both discuss my situation and come up with the best solution. They are both honest and they seem to want to find the most economical and possible solution for dental problems. A year ago I had implants with Mark and was again very pleased with his efficiency and professionalism. I only have positive and praising words for these two professionals. I notice that their clientele has grown considerably, of course, and it may be harder to get appointments with any of them. Their offices are modern, clean, and very well attended by a group of courteous and efficient assistants. I highly recommend them both.

Patient Review
I have severe anxiety about dental procedures. Dealing with office closures and scaled back operations amid the COVID 19 crises was not the time to have extreme tooth pain. Dr. McEntire did an emergency consultation and determined I needed a root canal. He and his staff were so professional and compassionate. They explained every step of the procedure and checked on my anxiety level throughout. I had never had a root canal and did not know what to expect. I am petrified of needles and pain, but the whole process was a pleasant surprise. The only discomfort I experienced was the pinch of the initial injection. I highly recommend this great group of professionals!
