I have been a patient of Dr. Shanklin for 19 yrs. My father, my sister, my aunt and her daughter ,and my grandfather are all patients of him as well. He is very gentle, friendly, and does whatever he can to make you feel more comfortable. I have had work done from simple cleaning to fixing cavities to route canals and I have never had a more gentle dentist. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND DR. SHANKLIN TO ANYONE!!!
