Dr Jenkins does great work. I previously had a lot of dental work done in Seattle including an implant in the front. I broke that implant playing with my dog. I was so worried to seeing another dentist, but Dr Jenkins and his staff put me at ease. He did a fabulous job on my new implant. He did everything to make sure I was 100% satisfied. I have recommended him to everyone I know.

Not only was Dr. Jenkins personable, but WOW what an amazing job he did on my daughter's implants! We went to him for a much needed adjustment from a previous dental mishap. She is extremely happy with her new smile. We can tell Dr. Jenkins loves what he does!

University of Indiana dental school graduate, very personable, with very nice family, and office staff. Unfortunately also very mercenary and willing to charge thousands of dollars more then necessary for some of his procedures. Would not trust with my care again. Likes to follow his kids college athletic events and his office is located in an old bank, complete with an old vault still in it.
