Pearl Dental is a wonderful dental office. Dr. Pearl and his team are very kind, patient and accommodating. Before I became a patient at this office, I had serious dental anxiety due to past experiences at another office. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Dr. Pearl, and appreciate his flexibility and patience. He gets to know his patients through conversations, and he’s pretty funny as well. The dental assistants who work with him are also very kind, and help all procedures happen smoothly. The dental hygienists are amazing!! Super friendly and accommodating to any sensitivity or concerns you may have. The ladies in the front office are very nice as well!nnI do want to mention one small experience from a recent visit. While scheduling my next appointment, Cheyenne made a comment about her knowledge of me having “missed appointments in the past.” To my understanding, I only ever missed one, and it happened on a day when my family experienced a sudden, unexpected loss right before the appointment. I completely understand the importance of communication and take responsibility for that missed appointment. However, the comment felt dismissive and left me uncomfortable.nnStill, everyone else, including the sweet woman in the front office who complimented my hair, has always been so warm and welcoming. I am very pleased as a patient. My whole family comes to Pearl Dental and we love it here. Thank you Dr. Pearl and entire staff.
