Dr. Palacios is a great dentist. He's extremely friendly, and I believe he truly has the best interests of his patients at heart. He doesn't recommend procedures that aren't necessary (and at times has talked me out of some), he does the cleanings himself, and has a fantastic manner about him. He always explains any problem he sees to me, and suggests how I can correct it at home and any treatment that might be necessary. A friend of mine had a toothache one Sunday night before a long vacation, and called Dr. Palacios for advice. Dr. Palacios was concerned about the situation, so he met my friend at his office that night and put a temporary fix in place so my friend wouldn't have to worry during his vacation! He has also referred me to an excellent periodontist, and has made a referral for one of my co-workers to an excellent oral surgeon. Overall, Dr. Palacios is a great family dentist.
