					I’ve been a patient of Dr. Painter for several years now, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the moment you walk into his office, you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Dr. Painter combines his extensive expertise with genuine care for his patients, making every visit as comfortable as possible. He takes the time to explain procedures in a way that’s easy to understand and is always patient with any questions or concerns.  His attention to detail and commitment to pain-free dentistry are truly remarkable. Whether it’s a routine check-up or a more complex procedure, I always feel confident that I’m in good hands. Dr. Painter and his team go above and beyond to ensure that every experience is positive.  If you’re looking for a dentist who is professional, skilled, and compassionate, Dr. Painter is the one to see. I’m grateful to have found such a dedicated dental professional and highly recommend him to anyone in need of exceptional dental care.

					The staff were exceptional. I felt concern as well as compassion from each staff member. The follow up call after I left the office just to make sure I was doing alright after the procedure, was just what I needed.

					I hate to admit I’m getting old. But, I’m sure the Crest of old wasn’t as good as today’s. I’ve had several dental problems and Dr Painter has solved all of them. I’m happy to say I have no dental problems today and with my previous dentists I always had something that hurt or just wasn’t right. It sure is nice to be comfortable and have healthy teeth after years of issues! Thank You Dr Painter.

					Dr Painter and everyone I interacted with at 1st City Dental, was professional, knowledgeable and very courteous.  Andrea (or Molly) printed out my treatment info including how my insurance would be billed.  This was new to me and very much appreciated.  Upfront knowledge is a good thing.  Cori, Dr. Painter’s assistant, prepped me and had my x-rays ready for Dr. Painter to review with me.  I found Dr. Painter to be a breath of fresh air (very personable) and spent as much time as I needed to get my questions out and answered. He was thorough and gave me a number of options for upcoming visits.  I feel that I missed the boat by not scheduling appointments years ago.  That won’t happen again, for sure. 😀

					It says a whole lot when you like your dental experience but I was very impressed not only with Dr Painter but with his entire staff. He was very informative and made sure that I was comfortable with the information he gave me. His staff went out of their way not only to be caring but to be supportive and I appreciated them all!

					Dr Painter is a dream! He’s phenomenal at keeping dentistry pain free and low stress. He’s completely removed my fear of the dentist. He does fantastic work from routine maintenance to crowns and root canals. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

					I highly recommend Dr. Painter and his staff. Dr. Painter takes times to listen to his patients and makes necessary recommendations – doesn’t give a laundry list of “things” that could be done. He is willing to work with you regarding your concerns. Amy, his dental hygienist, is very competent and caring and his front office staff is friendly and efficient. Never thought I’d say going for a dental appointment was a good thing! This from someone who has a phobia about dental work!!!
