I haven’t been to the dentist and quite sometime and was embarrassed for sure. Everyone at this office was very understanding, and made sure to let me know it was totally okay and they would help me. Everyone was so kind, and i was able to ask all the questions i could think of about anything i wanted to know about any tool or what they were doing. My hygienist Haley was great at her job, and would throughly explain anything i maybe have noticed. Sarah at the front desk is spot on and will even message you reminders, she’s so sweet. The dentist Dr, Watkins is a man with a presence. He was quick, very professional, and you knew he meant business. I don’t think i could be in better hands

I was in search of a good dentist office for my husband. He is private pay and this office had reasonable prices and had great reviews from the beginning. I spoke to Sarah and she won me from the start! Our 1st visit was literally the best treatment we have received from any dental office in the Elkhart area in a long time. They are kind, clean, and attend to your needs in an exceptional manner. Highly recommend!!

Wow! This dentist is the real deal! He is probably one of THE most thorough dentists I've ever been to! He does amazing work! I've been to other Dentist's that rush you out the door and could care less about the quality of work they do for you. Not Dr. Watkins! He repaired a filling that fell out on the side of my tooth yesterday. It looks even better than when it was filled the first time! Quality over quantity! If you are looking for an EXCELLENT dentist go see Dr. Watkins! His staff is friendly. The building is beautiful! The dental chairs are so soft and comfortable! All around great experience! Highly recommend! Thank you, Joshua
