George Prattas & Rosie Panich, DMD

Dr. Prattas has treated me since 1999, and has never hurt me, even doing root canals. He just has a special touch. He and his wife Dr. Panich and his entire staff are very compassionate, as well as being a pleasure to talk to. As the other reviewer said, just really nice people. I now live five hours away and I am strongly considering making that long drive to see Dr. Prattas because my new dentist, whom I am sure is a good one, just doesn’t seem to care for me in the same way.

The first reason I was so happy with Dr Prattas is that he and his staff are just really nice people. After being out of work for two years, you can imagine that going for dental checkups went by the wayside. Even so, when I went to Dr Prattas I never heard one word about it. He and his staff are all exceedingly kind and patient with me and never gave me that finger-​wagging lecture that some medical professionals love to indulge in.
The second reason I like Dr Prattas is that he’s an awesome dentist! I’ve had four fillings and each one went super smooth, completely painless, done quickly and look completely natural (none of that silvery junk that makes your teeth look bad). His hygienist Tavia is keeping a watch on one of my teeth that has a problem, and she seems more concerned with my dental health than I am. :)
The third reason I like Dr Prattas is that he’s active in the community. He does free dental care for a local charity (Drake House) and is involved in other good causes.
The final reason I like him is that his employees have all told me they are happy in the practice, and that they are treated well. They are always cheerful and really do seem to enjoy their work.
It’s not a huge practice by any means. Dr Prattas and his wife Rosalind Panich, who is also a dentist, are the two practitioners and they have a modest office that’s very comfortable and welcoming. My previous dentist was in a super-​modern, super-​busy practice and I’m pretty sure he never knew my name. Dr Prattas asks me how my schoolwork is going and chats about being addicted to Candy Crush on Facebook. It’s a world of difference, and I like it.
Five stars. He’s soft-​spoken, gentle and kind. I don’t have a fear of dentistry, but even if I did I’m pretty sure I’d be comfortable with Dr Prattas. Highly recommended!
