Why Purvis, Godwin & Shimer Family Dentistry Is
A Top-Rated Cosmetic & General Dentist In New Bern, NC
"Dr O'Brien, Allie, Heather, and all the other staff we've interacted with have been wonderful. Everyone takes the time to explain what's what, address any concerns or issues, and make sure we are aware of any changes. Heather has been great with handling scheduling, billing and addressing insurance issues (insurance snaffu, not the dentist office). I appreciate the way they've worked with my kids at their appts. We just recently switched to this office and we've been very happy with it."
"Best dentist I’ve had and I’ve been to a few across the US. They make sure you’re comfortable and explain every step before proceeding without needing to ask. They fixed a divot in one of my front teeth from a previous orthodontist perfectly. Color matched and everything you can’t even tell. It wasn’t part of my appointment originally but since they had time they took care of it. I know I don’t have the most perfect smile to begin with but getting it fixed has made me so much happier with it."
"I arrived early to pick up a new Night Guard and to ensure it fit well. The receptionist said they were a little ahead of schedule and asked if I would like to start early. I accepted the offer, Jess checked the fit, and my visit was complete before I was scheduled to start. The staff is incredibly professional and happy."
"Jessica was outstanding, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly gentle throughout the entire visit. She worked efficiently without ever making me feel rushed, and she took the time to explain everything clearly. Her calm and caring approach made the experience comfortable and stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for top quality dental care."
