I am sure there are plenty of dentists that can clean teeth well but what sets this place apart is the overall environment. I can't believe that I am going to use the word ambiance for a dentist's office but seriously this place has great ambiance. When you walk in, the waiting area is calm and quiet. Beautiful stonework and tile with a calming water feature. This all really helps make it easy on someone like me who gets extreme anxiety about going to the dentist. The office staff are all courteous and competent. They even have baked goods and coffee available in the mornings. And an assortment of bottled water, even Perrier (which I love!) in a little fridge.
In the treatment rooms, they continue the calming vibe with low music and videos of beautiful travel destinations. It gives your mind something to focus on instead of what is going on in your mouth. Typical of most dentists, it seems like the hygienist does most of the work at a regular visit. The ones here are all so knowledgeable and professional, they seem better than most dentists at other places. All the ones I have seen are extremely friendly as well.
A couple years ago I had to have an old filling replaced. The insurance I had at the time didn't cover it and so I "shopped around" and got estimates from a few different dentists. I was disappointed at the idea of having to go somewhere else for the work but to my surprise Parkside came out the cheapest! Dr. Gombert did a fantastic job and made the procedure as painless as possible (both physically and emotionally). Fortunately now the insurance I have considers Parkside a preferred dentist so I can go here practically for free. I will continue going to this dentist for as long as I live in Phoenix.
