Excellent and professional, efficient and kind at the same time. Found out my previous dental care was lacking and had the problem resolved in under 30 minutes. Excellent post visit care as well.

I was recommended to Panhandle Dental by a coworker. I was very impressed by their friendliness and how well they took care of me. Dr Karr was my dentist he was very personable and made me feel welcome. The waiting room has the most comfortable chairs I have ever seen in a waiting lounge! The whole staff were absolutely amazing! If you are looking for dentistry, I highly recommend them.

From the moment you walk in until you leave, everyone makes you feel not only welcomed, but that they truly want you there. Chrissy is such a wonderful hygienist and I can't imagine anyone else cleaning my teeth. It's obvious how much she loves her job and is second to none. Dr. Carr is always efficient and professional and has never made me feel like he was rushing to get me out. Thanks to Panhandle Dental, I stay flossin'.

I barely even felt the shots Dr Carr gave me and that's worthy of 5 stars but also the staff is very friendly and they know what they're doing. Thank you for a pleasant dental procedure!

Doctor Carr & the staff are great! Upfront, honest and just really awesome patient interaction with a personal touch. He unfortunately makes me laugh while he's working sometimes. I've never been a fan of going to the dentist but they make it not so bad! Highly recommended!

I'm living in town for school and was hesitant to try another dentist besides my hometown doctor, who I have been going to for years. A friend recommended Dr. Carr to me and I thought I would give it a try. I LOVE Dr. Carr and the two of his dental assistants I have had each time I've gone. They all do a great job making you feel comfortable and welcome, are open and thorough, and are more than happy to answer any questions you have. If you are looking for a dentist, I HIGHLY suggest going to see Dr. Carr.
