Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

PLEASE don’t come here. Don’t let them talk you into any dental work. It’s all a scam. Treatment is WAY over priced compared to a regular dental office. There are hidden fees on work he does. They’ll scar you into thinking you need all of this work and when you’re vulnerable they’ll try to convince you to get a credit card to pay for it. Don’t do it. Go literally ANYWHERE else. My grandmother went here for years. She was so manipulated. I work in dentistry and saw the ridiculous treatment plans they gave her and the money they got from her. I was luckily able to convince her to leave.

At first I thought Dr. Pruitt was great. I changed my mind quickly at the end of my treatment. I got taken advantage of. I hated the dentures he made for me & told him so. Before he began making my dentures I told him specific things I wanted & didn't want. He did the exact opposite of what I wanted. Not one time did he offer to fix or remake my horrific looking dentures. I went in several times. I told him I hated them but he told me I was wrong , they looked great.I have since been to 4 different cosmetic dentist who told me the dentures were cheap, bottom of line. Before I told them what I hated about them, all 4 told me what was wrong with them, the exact things I so disliked. When I told them the amount I paid they were shocked. Bottom line, Dr. Pruitt is nothing more than a scammer and the absolute bottom of the barrel. He needs to check hos ego & do what's right

Dr. Pruitt performed 9 root canals on me in the 8 years I saw him. All I can say is I trusted him, and I shouldn't have. I just had the 3rd of the 9 root canals re-done by an endodontist yesterday. He was astounded to find half of a root left in one spot and an entire root left in another. Infection was everywhere. And they've already spotted a 4th root canal that needs to be re-done as well. Dr. Pruitt took thousands from me and left me with a head full of infection.

He wanted me to get very expensive crowns that were not necessary. He also told me I needed several fillings that I didn't actually need.
