I wrote the post below a few years ago when I started going to Dr. Palmer. And my review remains just as valid as ever. They helped me through a difficult period of dealing with a rejected implant and replacing it with a bridge. I really appreciated the care they showed. To be honest, I have never liked going to the dentist. But if you must go to the dentist, Dr. Palmer's office is the place to go.
They have a fantastic team of warm, caring, and friendly individuals. And Dr. Palmer and her staff clearly care about their patients. I never felt like I was out of sight out of mind and they are always

Update, Dec 7 2020, I just received a $25.00 gift certificate at Petro-Can for completing my tooth restoration; as if 15 cavities done and a lot of novacain isn't thanks enough, I got some gas money to boot! Thanks Dr Palmer, Ali and Kelly-Anne. First visit: Dr. Palmer's coordinator Carrie Anne was able to find a problem that I had been asking my previous dentist about for over a year; it took her one look at a previous x-ray for her to notice that my chronic sinus infection was related to a dying wisdom tooth. Then Dr Palmer comes in and is able to sow together everything that has happened in
