Customer Stories

First off, I must admit that I am the BIGGEST baby when it comes to dental stuff but I’ve been with Dr. Preston and Padre Dental for the last 5 years because of the quality of care and level of comfort they provide.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Preston and his staff. To start, the facility is so clean and all of their equipment is state of the art. Bobbi, the office manager, is so friendly and really treats you like you’re part of the family. It’s nice to walk into their office a few times each year and see a familiar face.

Dr. Preston is excellent and really does a thorough job with all of us his work. He’s got a great bedside manner and makes you feel at ease. I see Kelly for my routine cleanings and she is a highly skilled, awesome hygienist.

Scheduling appointments is a breeze and they use an automated system to send you reminders to your email or cell phone a few weeks in advance to confirm your appointment.

If you’re a big wimp like me and hate the dentist or you’re looking for quality dental care then Padre Dental is the place for you.
