Dr. Mendenhall is excellent at what he does. He always takes as much time as is needed for each patient. I got $1400 worth of work done with a down payment of only $130! He says as long as I continue to make payments it's no problem. I have had very bad experiences w/dentists, and he was very understanding and patient every time I wanted to stop because I was afraid it would hurt. And it nhever did hurt! I have recomended him for everyone I know, and I'm goiung back to get my bridgea adjusted after the swelling went down (he spent about half an hour making sure it fit before), and I know he'll take as much time as is needed to make sue I have a proper, pain free fit. I got a same day appointment, too! I am going back to get my lower bridge as well, also on credit, with no credit check.
