Alright, I'm a big baby at the dentist, I'll admit. The thought of a standard cleaning makes me jittery. But Dr. Parris and his staff do a great job calming the nerves. I hadn't taken the time to find a dentist since moving back to Philadelphia, preferring to travel and visit my old dentist, but when my tooth flared up and I needed an emergency visit, I scoured the reviews and found Dr. Parris. Google certainly didn't let me down on this one, Dr. Parris and his practice are definitely 5 stars. It starts by meeting with the sweetest person alive at the reception desk. She walked me through filling out my forms, answered all the questions I had about them. Next up, a technician came in and helped me with my x-rays. And I do mean help. My tooth was so painful that I couldn't hold the plate in place, so they held it there for me while taking the picture. Dr. Parris came in next, introduced himself, gave me an examination, and explained it to me straight: Alright, you need a root canal, but to be honest, I can't kill the pain in that tooth today. You hear the stories about the horrible root canals that hurt and leave you knocked out for days? That'd be yours if we did it right now. Let's hold off for a few days and let it calm down a bit."" The guy is great. Honest, direct, patient, and concerned with your comfort. Give Dr. Parris a visit and you won't ever look back.
