“I have had great service with Dr. Parkening and his staff. My 1st visit was for a broken tooth last year and I couldn’t have been happier with the friendliness and urgency to get me worked in, evaluated, and scheduled for the repair/crown. I broke another tooth before Christmas and the service was just a great with the repair/crown being completed this year. I have had mine and a kids teeth cleaned with great service as well. We will continue to use him & his staff due to their great service and a staff that makes us feel like family.”
