Fantastic experience: Dr. Whitaker, Dr Hedrick and their staff make going to the dentist a pleasure! Love everyone at that office and am fortunate to have them as my providers! Update since this review above. Continue to receive outstanding dental care at Whitaker! Colby the hygienist is awesome as are all other hygienists that have seen me. They don't have to do a lot of cleaning as I try to take as best care as I can. All the dentists are outstanding; Dr Hedrick, Whitaker ! They take care of you as we are all apprehensive about having our teeth worked on. Can only give the office 5 stars here, I would give them 10 if I could!

Charles Duncan 1 month ago

Fantastic experience: As usual, appointment was on time..no waiting! Dental care for me and my wife was professional and personal! Although my Tri-Care Insurance will not pay because Whitaker Dental Services is not covered under their formulary, we refuse to go to another Dentist that is approved by Tri-Care under their formulary! We would rather pay out of pocket for dental care at Whitaker in order to maintain trusted dental care! C. Richard Duncan and Charlotte
