Michael Parrish, D.D.S. attributes his love of dentistry to his exposure as a child. By following his father J. Gilbert Parrish, D.D.S. in the profession he was mentored in a gentle approach to dental care. This painless approach starts by providing valuable patient education. He listens so he can best understand your particular needs. His desire is to provide the most comfortable and relaxing experience possible, while providing the highest standard of personalized dental care using skilled training in the latest advances in dental technology.
After his undergraduate studies in biology at The University of Tennessee and The University of Memphis, he obtained his doctorate with honors from The University of Tennessee College of Dentistry. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Tennessee Dental Association, and The Memphis Dental Society.
Dr. Parrish is a family dentist in the truest sense of the word. Many of his adult patients were patients of his fathers and now they are patients who are bringing their own children into the practice. These multigenerational patients along with grandparents, aunts, uncles, coworkers and friends are a rewarding result of a caring dental practice.
When hes away from the office you may find Dr. Parrish and his wife Becky, with their three children at one of their favorite pastimes waterskiing, hunting, snow skiing or cheering for the kids on a ball field. His commitment to his faith and family are top priorities.
When integrity and the highest standard of dental care has been modeled before you all of your life, its easy to see why Dr. Baldridge would choose the same profession as his grandfather J. Gilbert Parrish DDS and uncle, Michael L. Parrish DDS. After completing his undergraduate studies in Biology at the University of Memphis and receiving his doctorate degree from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry, with honors in 2008, Dr. Baldridge joined his uncle, Michael Parrish, in practice where he continues to enjoy the blessings of a dental profession legacy with a family touch.
Their dental practice always strives to provide comprehensive care to patients, some of which include services from root canals to cosmetics and preventative treatments. In addition Dr. Baldridge also offers Invisalign for patients interested in an alternative treatment to traditional braces. Patients comment most often about Dr. Baldridges gentle touch and how painless his procedures are. You may see his beautiful wife, Brittany, working at the office and enjoying a rare day away from their two busy little boys.

Extremely unprofessional. The lady that did my cleaning last time asked me if I went to church, and after I told her that I'm atheist, she went on a rant about how "god is real whether I believe in him or not" and "one day we will all be judged for our sins". Very uncomfortable situation to be in. I just wanted my cleaning, not a sermon. Anyways, I switched to a different place this time around for my cleaning.

I found this practice through my dental insurance. From the phone call to request an appointment, to being greeted today for my appointment, to the treatment, and aftercare instructions.. Everyone was so warm and inviting. Dr Parrish was open, honest, and caring. Ms Mary was so polite and knowledgeable. I have found my new dental home!!!

Love Dr Parrish and Dr Baldridge. They have made my life much easier after dealing with 2 other dentists who caused me a lot of issues and expense. Can't recommend these 2 enough. They are still fixing what the last dentist messed up. Please do your research before going to any dentist! My oral surgeon highly recommended Parrish and Baldridge.

When it comes to dentist, I have had some serious bad luck, until I found Parrish & Baldridge Family Dentistry! I'm still a fairly new patient, I previously saw Parrish, but couldn't get in. Today I saw Dr Baldridge, and I can't thank him enough for the work that he did on my teeth. I had no pain. Seriously, it was amazing, and so was his assistant, who couldn't have been more friendly. I have had nothing but complications from another dentist office in Bartlett, that has since closed, there's your BIG red flag, right there. And this is the second time that I have been here, and from start to finish, the staff to the doctor, everything was great. I would give both dentists 10+ stars, if I could! I never thought I could go to the dentist again without having major anxiety. This was really amazing. And I just want to say thank you SO much for everything. You've restored my faith in dentists.

Have been going to their office for more than 2 years. They are very friendly and helpful. Most important is, the doctor's technique is outstanding. I already recommended this office to many other friends.

They make you think that you are covered with your insurance and then send you a huge bill. Then they will tell you that its not there responsibility to know what you insurance covers.

I have been going to Dr.Michael Parrish for over 20 years and intend to continue as long as I can. He has performed about every type dental service I can imagine for me from root canals , implants, crowns, and extractions , all succesful and no after problems. My recent extraction was so successful, I went back to work the same day with no pain that night. He also does cosmetic dentistry very successful. His staff is friendly, professional and always willing to help if scheduling changes are needed. I highly recommend their Dental Care Services. Bill K
