out of Read Reviews for Dr. Richard Prichard
I started driving the 45 min. to Richard Prichards office over 15 years ago, with my oldest daughters. And now I am still driving to Soddy Daisy twice a year for my youngest daughter and granddaughter. I wouldn't go any where else!!

The nurses were nice, but were too quick with my three year old. They did not give her a chance to feel comfortable, and ended up using restraint to look in her mouth. Needless to say, she never warmed up to being in the office or sitting in the examination chair. Dr. Prichard was also nice, but did not listen very well or give me much time to answer my questions. Overall, I felt rushed and there was little consideration for my child's fear. The way they dealt with her stress on our next visit was to give her a drug to calm her down before her procedure, rather than take the time to make her feel comfortable. The medicine had the opposite effect, and she screamed and cried the whole visit. So, they used restraint again to look in her mouth, and told us we would have to go to the hospital for her procedure. We will not be going back. It was not a good experience for me or my child.

Dr. Prichard and his office are great for kids and tweens. My daughter had a horrible reaction to her first dentist appointments. Screaming and being frightened but she did really well with him and still goes to his office after a decade now. The openness of the room was much better for her than a small room. She seemed to do better because it was really geared for children and she could see the other children getting the same stuff done like an example of how to behave while she was there.

If you want to take your children to a caring, professional dentist then Prichards is the place. He doesn't hoodwink parents into treatments the kids don't really need. He is more concerned about the oral health and structural alignment of the teeth than he is about running the bill up. He and his staff donate their time and money to take care of children on mission trips. He gives back to his community and his world. I am blessed to have found such a man and his staff to care for my children and foster children.

Dr Pritchard is the most amazing peds DDS!!! he treats my boys as if they were his own. My oldest (14yrs) was scared to death to go to the dentist until we switched to Dr Pritchard and all he has to do is tap the chair and my "wild, mind of his own...STUBBORN! 3 yr old" hops right up in the chair and lets him clean his teeth. An amazing doctor, an amazing man!!!

Dr. Prichard is great with my daughter and she loves him! We went to one dentist before Dr. Prichard and she hated it! His office is very welcoming and child friendly and he makes the kids feel very at-ease.
