Palmetto Endodontics
Patient Review
I had recently experienced some specific tooth pain. After being diagnosed needing a root canal on 2/24 the attending dentist could not perform the procedure until 3/4, therefore referring me to Palmetto Endodontics. I was given a copy of my diagnosis, referral, and xrays and took them to Palmetto Endodontics on 2/25 and presented them to Emily. She coordinated my scheduling for this procedure with Dr.McEntire and they worked me in the same day. I am not one who looks forward to going to the dentist; however, if I had to go, especially for this procedure, this is the place. They made the entire process a very pleasant experience. My thanks go out to Dr. McEntire, Emily, and the entire staff.

Patient Review
As a patient in her 70s I had reservations about my first endodontic procedure. However, I was extremely pleased with care provided by Dr. McEntire and the staff at Palmetto Endondontics. The procedure was painless and it was obvious both Dr. McEntire and all staff members were well trained, very experienced, very professional, and the treatment I received was rendered with care and gentleness. It was a good experience and I can highly recommend Palmetto Endodontics to anyone seeking endodontic treatment.
