“All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Dr. Anderson is great! He is friendly, kind, and very patient. My sister has had teeth extracted and the whole experience was efficient with no complications. We highly recommend this practice.”
"My son needed some teeth taken out for the orthodontist. We went to Dr Anderson, he was great with my son and we felt very taken care of. My son loved "going to sleep" and Loved Dr. Anderson's socks. We would recommend him to anyone."
"I was referred to Dr. Rahn by my dentist in regards to some troublesome wisdom teeth that needed to be removed. Dr. Rahn and the staff were wonderful! They explained everything well and provided literature for pre- and post-operative instructions. 4 teeth were extracted in under an hour. Insurance/billing information was also explained in detail. Thanks, Dr. Rahn and staff, you're all greatly appreciated."
"Such a great experience! I came to Dr. Smith back in October with some discomfort from an impacted wisdom tooth. The staff was amazing with scheduling me in. I called on a Wednesday, and they were able to get me an appointment for that Friday. I showed up on Friday, got 5 wisdom teeth extracted, and was back home recovering within an hour. Procedure went well, I was back at work with little to no swelling on Tuesday. I highly recommend Dr. Smith. Staff is very friendly and works fast to take care of all insurance information prior to visiting, so you're not sitting there filling out paperwork."
"Dr. Anderson is remarkably masterful, and the Visalia office staff are absolutely top-notch. I had trepidations about the procedures or potential discomfort, which proved unfounded. The expert evaluation, explanations, and attention to detail left no question or concern unanswered or unaddressed. Highest recommendation."
"I recently moved to Tulare and needed my wisdom teeth removed. I was very worried about the entire process, but their staff was very helpful; they answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. Even up to the day of my appointment, Dr. Bell and the staff reassured me about the entire process. I came in today for my follow-up appointment, and I’m so glad that I was able to find a perfect spot in the Valley for my dental care."
"Excellent, professional, caring staff and Dr. Bunnell is fabulous. He is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and very reassuring. He takes the time to explain everything and answers every question thoroughly. I never felt like I was being rushed, and he appeared to be genuinely concerned. I would give his office 10 stars if I could! Oh, there's no pain at all the day after my extraction! That's amazing! Thank you so much, Dr. Bunnell!"
