First most I wish Dr. Wes Turnage a speedy recovery from his surgery. The female substitute dentist he has filling in for him while he heals from his surgery is good. The same applies to the staff.

Dr. Wes Turnage gave me a white resin cap on my front tooth 25 years ago. I broke my front tooth while very young and had to have the cap replaced usually between every 4-5 years. His work lasted over 20 years!! I live in Australia now and would like to personally call him and thank him. His work is OUTSTANDING. The BEST. Thank you Dr Turnage. If I were in the USA I'd travel across the country just for your work! Haha. Sincerely... Wendy Mackoul (formerly)Wendy C. Floyd, as your patient.

The staff was super friendly. I spent less than a hour filling out paperwork and being seen by the dentist. Ive never had such a great relaxed time at the dentist.
