Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A thief, inconsiderate
I used Dr. Jerkins for 5 or 6 yrs. His office staff is accomodating, work on a timely schedule. Dr. Jerkins is very conservative. He tries to save the patient money. He does not listen to a patients desires or thoughts. I had a crown put in directly in my front teeth. I don't like it. The tooth 1 tooth over cracked. I asked to have a crown, 'no' he was going to bond it. I voiced I didn't believe inbonding. He proceeded to bond it anyhow. 2 weeks later on vacation it cracked off. Returning to the office he said 'I'll pop it back in' I said no, I didn't feel it would hold. I left the office unhappy. For a dentist to be head strong is not professional. I have now gone to other dentists. I feel I am due a refund since the work was not of quality. For 5-6 wks. the receptionist says the chart is in his office. I have received no communication what-so-ever and needless to say I would not recommend his work. He did not earn $650 which is outrageous.

Dr. Jerkins and his excellent staff have taken care of Donna and my dental needs for close to 20 years. We found him to be an excellent dentist who places his patients well being ahead of business needs. He is patient, conservative in his treatment and completely understanding of his patients concerns and fears. A 5-star rating is not high enough for this fime dentist.

My husband and I both went to Dr. Jerkins. We have been very pleased with his work. He does not do unnecessary work. Unfortunately, we have new insurance that he does not accept.

Absolutely the most incompetent dentist I've ever visited. Told me I had a "tooth sensitivity". Nearly a year later, when the tooth began hurting more, he finally sent me to an endodontist, and it turned out that I had a cracked tooth. A subsequent root canal failed because the situation had been going on for so long that the crack had become too deep. An extraction was the only solution at that point. What a nightmare! Needless to say, I've found a new dentist.

Dr. Jerkins is an excellent dentist with a superior staff. He is outstanding with older patients. My aunt 97 yrs old was assisted with friendliness and excellent care. Wish I had a dentist in my area like Dr. Jerkins.
