  41. Cleaning assistant was perfect: friendly, professional and caring. The new doctor/ dentist is no match to previous one- Dr. Cole.

  42. I chomped on something harder than God’s rod in a cheeseburger and it broke a molar in half, I couldn’t even close my mouth all the way. Two other places didn’t answer the phone but Pearl went out of their way to squeeze me in and fix me up within 2 hours of my initial phone call.
