Every Main Street of long ago had signage advertising the offices of a "painless dentist." Reports…read moreare that wasn't true, even after a shot or two of 100 proof red eye. Over the years my wife and I have had a variety of dental work done at Parkcrest Dental Group, mostly with Dr. Jason Hall. We honestly have experienced no pain. The fixes moreover have lasted. Dr. Hall is straightforward about the work that needs to be done and accomplishes it with skill and finesse. Parkcrest is a smooth operation with competent technicians, cordial receptionists, and superb dentists. That this has been a successful dental practice for 50 years is no surprise. Today I was in for a couple of fillings and a cap. While I don't look forward to having my teeth worked on, this has been the best dental experience I've ever had.

I had a cleaning and a tooth filling procedure. It was the most pain free visit at a dentist that I…read morehave ever had.

Do you like to hear other screaming children who are also being disruptive adding to your own child's stress as well as your child's due to a room they have that they put 6 to 10 other children in at one time?!!! Well this is the Dentist office for you!!! I mean seriously they have a room that contains 10 chairs in a row like it's a nail salon or something, and act like it's an assembly line!!!! Sure most the hygienists are nice, as well as most the dentists. But this place feels like a 3rd world office, and their front desk staff are more worried about their personal lives than their job. So done with this place!

We have used this practice for 2 of my younger kids. The first time was great, general check up,…read morex-rays, cleaning. They both needed dental work. After excessive "are you scared" questioning by the tech and staff the kids decided the dentist must have something to be scared of. Work needed to be done so we decided to go the route of sedation and scheduled that. Fast forward a few months and my daughter ends up with an abscess, risk of procedure, we get it. We called for the entire day and never got through or a call back, had to go to her PCP for treatment. The next day this office called us to schedule a visit a week later. We go in for the visit and get xrays, the tech this day was sweet, but did end up accidentally stabbing the xray plate into my daughters gum, she cried a little because it hurt but didn't get worked up. She was great through the visit, but they did not schedule the time for the extraction and questioned who would prescribe us antibiotics. They worked us in the next day for the extraction. They started in with the excessive "are you scared" questioning again (same dentist she saw the very first time) told her dad she was "very emotional and worked up the day before", remember the ouch with the xray? Had her on nitrous for about 10 minutes without monitoring, told her dad they "would have given us options for sedation at her appt the day before" (the only option given was the nitrous) then told us they don't recommend sedation more than 1 time in a year because it isn't safe. All the while my daughter is laying there on nitrous really confused why no work is being done. She is 9, even home now she has no idea why they didn't do anything today. While I appreciate the concern for her experience, we have to worry about the tooth abscessing again. They spent more time trying to convince her to be scared than treating her. So, if you need a fun place for a cleaning this is your spot. If you need any dental procedures done find a place with a team who won't encourage fear to avoid doing it.

I had never had a dentist so concerned with my comfort level. Literally every few minutes he asks; are you okay? Making sure you are feeling no pain whatsoever. When it was time to get more work done I specifically asked for him. But found he no longer was helping out at that office. So I quickly scheduled an appointment at his office. Upon my arrival I was truly impressed by the safe who "ALL" where extremely professional, and polite. The front, and rooms were very clean with a mellow Fung Shui feel. I received my cleaning from Lori, and later my numbing shots. And I can swear to you I never even felt a pinch! They treat you with the upmost respect no matter your dental condition. Dr. Papagayo has even taken time out of his busy schedule to talk to me on the phone, and squeeze me in when I'm worried about something. Never in my life have I had any doctor who cares for his patients this much. Dr Papagayo, and his staff's only concern is your happiness and comfort. I'm only sad I didn't find him sooner. And just so you know. My wife has left her family dentist in order to see Dr Papagayo. One visit is all it will take you. You'll never search for another dentist once you see him.
