Like most, I am absolutely terrified of the dentist. Of course, I needed quite a bit of work done and he was able to keep me at ease and so comfortable during the procedure! This is the 4th dentist I've been too where I needed extractions and I will not be going anywhere else!! I cannot thank him enough!!

Today I had an appt. With Dr. Carr. The VA sent me there because, they didn't have the tool they needed. Dr. Carr didn't either. However, he called around and borrowed it from another Dr. Then, one of his staff there quickly drove over and picked up the tool and Dr. Carr was able to screw in my implant! This was a unique situation and he could have have just rescheduled me or sent me to someone else but, he didnt. I'm SO GRATEFUL to Dr. Carr and his staff they truly changed my life today!! I highly recommend them because, they go above and beyond for there patient!! God Bless You all, Deanna T.

Dr. Carr and Chrissy are both amazing people. Excellent at their jobs and a joy to interact with. I had some pretty gnarly work needed, and they made it relatively painless, pleasant and my mouth looks great. Scheduled Cleanings are a breeze. Also, the follow up anesthesia service is an awesome touch. Go see Panhandle Dental for your oral needs and I promise you won't be disappointed!

The Dr cut my tooth out. Then he cut my cheek and along the gum of the next tooth. Everything but the cutting my tooth out was an accident. He put stitches in my cheek by the tooth he removed. He did not tell me I had stiches and did not tell me about next tooth closest and after 14 days I still have an infection and am taking antiobotics
