Hear What Our Patients Are Saying

They have always work with me on making appointments at my convenience and my work schedule. Dr. Jim has always treated me with respect and not only do I consider Dr. Jim my dentist but also my friend. The ladies in the office also have been very nice and courteous.

Joe H.

Dr. Tatum was diligent in pulling a very stubborn impacted wisdom tooth. He was very sweet to talk me through each step in the process and check on my pain every few minutes. He told me that he would stop for a minute whenever I felt that I needed to. I would highly recommend him to anyone for all dental needs!!!

Charline P.

Dr. Tatum and his staff are very professional in every way. Dr. Tatum took great care with me and was extremely patient as I was extremely nervous as first. He is conscientious and will do all that he can to make your treatment the best possible. I am extremely happy with the service he has provided and would gladly recommend him to anyone.
