Testimonials
"Best dental office for miles around. I wish I still lived in Palestine so they could continue to be my dentists."
"Dr Jim, Dr Carol and their entire office staff are amazing! They truly care about each patient and go above and beyond to ensure they are well cared for. My family has been going to this office since I was a young child and now my kids go there. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!"
"LOVE THEM ! I Have high anxiety about dentist but they did everything in their power to make me feel comfy and safe !!!"
"As a fellow healthcare professional, I must say I do not know of any office more professional or caring than Jim and Carol's!! I actually love going to the dentist. I have had cleanings, root canals, fillings and caps (yes I am old and hard on my teeth) but all have been done exceedingly well, working with my schedule and delivered with a smile all around. DRs. Jim and Carol Herrington are exceedingly competent, intelligent and pleasant and I so appreciate them. Their staff is wonderful and I highly recommend their clinic! 5 stars, without a doubt!!"
