I don't think Dr. Parker charges any more or less than other dentists but there's probably a major difference when comparing the experience with other dentists. I took my 6 year old and 4 year old boys for cleanings and xrays and it was an incredibly positive and pleasant experience. My oldest had to return for two small fillings and was nervous. Dr. Parker and his staff were beyond understanding and take the time to get right down to the child's level of understanding and explain exactly what's going to happen during the treatment. We were very impressed with every aspect of our experience. Dr. Parker really cares about these little children and it shows in every conceivable way. His long term staff share his compassion and clearly enjoy their jobs. Highly recommend!
