Last week I had a tooth pulled, and what would normally be my worst nightmare turned into one of the best dental experiences of my life. Dr. Larry Kunkle, D.D.S. was absolutely incredible. I didn't feel one single second of pain -- not during the procedure and not after. Truly unbelievable! Dr. Kunkle and his team were gentle, caring, and made me feel completely at ease. I've had a lot of dental work over the years, and this is by far the best dentist I've ever had. I left feeling blessed, relieved, and able to get back to my happy self -- smiling like a crazy girl! I'm so grateful I found Palm Desert Dental Center. Highly, highly recommended! -- Sharon Row Flannagan

Dear Dr. Cartter, I am writing to express my deep…read morefrustration and disappointment with the dental implant work performed at your clinic, which in my opinion has been both unreasonably expensive and grossly unreliable. In total, I paid approximately $50,000 for a full-lower dental implants under the assumption that I was receiving high-quality, long-lasting treatment backed by professional integrity and care. However, less that three years after the procedure, the implants have failed not once, but twice. This is completely unacceptable for a procedure of this magnitude and cost. Each time the implants have broken, I have been left not only dealing with the physical pain and inconvenience, but also with an emotional and financial burden that should never have been necessary - especially after paying a premium price for what was supposed to be permanent, top-tier dental work. To make matters worse, when I sought accountablity and assistance from your office regarding these failures, you and your staff have refused to stand by your work. I find this deeply unethical and disappointing. Patients who invest their trust - and signifacant financial resources - in your care deserve better. Frankly, I feel taken advantage of and cheated. I am requesting a full explanation of what went wrong with the procedures and materials used. I sincerely hope you will take this opportunity to do the right thing and restore some faith in your practice. Scott A. Sherman
