Because of diabetes, I developed periodontal disease. Dr. Ellis and his staff have treated me for this problem and eventually referred me to a periodontal specialist for surgery. I continue to see Dr. Ellis for periodontal check-ups and all of my other dental needs. I would recommend my dental professionals to anyone who wants to be treated with kindness, integrity, and devotion. Plus they feed their squirrels regularly!

Every time Freddie comes home from a visit to your office he just shakes his head and marvels. He sounds like a broken record. I hear the same words as if he’s never told me before. He’s as much in awe as the first time he went there. And what do I say in return? “I know, I know.” You see, over the past 25+ years that we’ve been coming to your clinic, nothing’s changed. From the first time we came to you, we’ve been treated like family by every single member of your staff.

Well, you all know how much we sing your praises. And, after every visit, if you could be the proverbial “fly-on-the-wall” at our house you would laugh, because Freddie and I both sound like we’ve forgotten that we’ve been coming to you for so many years. You’d hear us rehearse it all again and say, “Everybody who wants to have a successful business ought to go there to find out how it’s done!”

Sincerely,

Freddie & Jan Meador

P.S. There’s not enough room in this letter to explain how your care has transformed a man whose teeth were in an absolute mess because he wouldn’t go to a dentist, and a woman who was petrified of going, simply because of their childhood dental experiences. Or, how in amazement they’ve witnessed their daughter from the age of four always look forward to going to her dentist…YOU!

I want to take this time to thank the team at Ellis and Walters Dental Care for saving my teeth.

Both my parents had to have dentures while they were still in their 40’s. I returned to Laurel from Pensacola, Florida when I was 40 in 1990. I had already lost one tooth in Florida and I was afraid I was following in my parents’ path. Also, I was unaware that I had a gum problem. My Floridian dentist was not proactive in that way.

However, during a routine dental exam at this clinic, I learned that I had advanced gum disease and that I needed to start on an aggressive regimen to save my teeth. Fifteen years later, I still have my pearly whites and my symptoms have been kept in check. I attribute this to their expertise and efficiency in their approach to this chronic condition. It is also heartening (literally) to know that catching and treating gum disease early can help bypass the link that untreated gingivitis can have to heart disease.

My dental hygienist Vicki Hatfield is a true professional. I trust her with my smile. I actually look forward to our visits. She has been focused on saving my teeth for 15 years. I believe they mean as much to her as they do to me and I appreciate that.

Doctor Ellis and Walters have both offered their respective expertise in planning and implementing my treatment and have each performed root canals that were as effortless as tubing down Black Creek. (I really like the gas.) I have never had any problems with any of these procedures. They also call in the evening of the procedure to be sure that the patient has not developed any problems. You know you won’t have to run them down if you do.

I have cosmetic plans for my teeth in the future. I have complete confidence in a good outcome and at a reasonable cost.

May I had that the entire staff is friendly, supportive, and very professional.

Sincerely,
Deborah Herrington
