Dr. Palmer and the staff are really friendly and caring. The service was great! Him and the staff explained procedures very well. They also had quickly noticed something unusual with an X-ray and made sure to get it taken care of ASAP. His attentiveness and knowledge did not go unnoticed and were appreciated.

Dr Palmer and his entire staff are amazing. From the moment you walk in the door you will feel welcomed! They give personalized service and are tuned in to each patients individual needs. He is friendly but more important Dr Palmer is highly skilled. I have never had any issues with scheduling or procedures. Highly recommend!

Denver Palmer Dental was great! Before them, I hadn't been to the dentist in a long time and needed a bunch of work done. I had gone to a different place to get fillings done and had to keep going back to get them fixed. I decided to find a new dentist, where I found Denver Palmer Dental. I needed to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out, and I was pretty nervous, but I had zero issues.

And Dr. Palmer was available 24/7 for any issues I needed, and even let me come in to check to make sure everything was okay afterward. Overall, I had a very great experience and have made Denver Palmer Dental my permanent dentist!

Timely and efficient care. Called back exactly on time, courteous and friendly environment. Especially appreciate being given explanations of my care as I'm receiving it, such as why they check the depth of the Gap in the gums. Emery was very clear in her communication, and when a tooth was sensitive, she immediately modified her approach to ensure a smooth and easy cleaning experience.

I had made appointments for full check ups for myself and my husband, but needed to have the dentist look at something before that. They got me in right away, and everyone, from scheduling to reception and the dentist was so careful and considerate. Great service.

I've been here multiple times now and Dr Palmer and his staff are awesome. They are very friendly and aren't a chain dentistry which is one of the things I love about it.

Dr. Palmer is an incredible dentist! My son has great anxiety when he goes to the dentist. We have tried multiple pediatric dental offices and he would scream and not let anyone touch his teeth. He had 6 cavities and the pediatric offices said they wouldn't try to fill them without sedating. From the onset, Dr. Palmer's interaction with my son helped put him at ease. He was able to take care of all of his cavities without sedating him and without tears! So thankful for him and his staff and their ability work with my anxious child!

I hadn't been to see a dentist in many years, and am so glad that I chose Red Mountain Dental to get back on track with my dental care. Nora was an exceptional hygienist and got everything cleaned up for me. Dr Palmer was very helpful in identifying and setting up a plan for getting my needed work completed. Everybody in the office, including reception and billing were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Homophobic, subpar dentist. Rude staff, and overcharges. Make sure to double check your insurance because they'll overcharge you, especially when dental cleaning is included with most dental coverage. Staff will accuse you of calling them names, when they're the rude employees. They know nothing about customer service. Dr. Clifford will complete your dental work, only to have you keep coming back for the same issue. He's fixed the same filling twice.

Still cracks. imagine that. I am almost 100% positive they'll reply with some PC remark. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DENTAL OFFICE. HIS WORK AND OFFICE STAFF DO NOT OFFER YOU ANYTHING SPECIAL. This is what he gets for firing all his original staff during their lunch break. Sad excuse for a Dental Office.

Dr Clifford has been our dentist since we came to AZ and we like him and his staff very much! Honest about what work needs to be done. Staff is so friendly and very helpful! Never have to wait very long either.

So I went for a cleaning and x-rays and the staff was extremely personable and I found Dr. Clifford to be very professional and thorough. I am new to the area and I felt very welcomed and comfortable. I was also impressed that they seem to have invested in technology and use it to streamline the way they get through all of the different processes I needed. Great people!

I have been a patient of Dr Clifford's for well over a decade. The care of the staff and Dr Clifford are second to none. I have never waited more than 10 minutes to be seen. I have a weird work schedule and they have always worked with me on getting scheduled for treatment. The dental hygienist's are always friendly, attentive, and very accommodating to make sure my visit is as pleasant as it can be.

I now live on the west side of town so going to the dentist means an hour drive to his East Mesa office. It is worth the drive for the exceptional care I get. I would recommend Red Mtn. Dental Dr. Clifford to anyone no matter where you live in the valley.

Dr. Clifford has seen me on several emergency basis, performed outstanding dentistry, and then personally called me to follow up. He has even followed up with me while on vacation on the east coast. Today, Dr. Clifford personally opened his office to treat me although though his office was normally closed. His dedication to his patients is just incredible. I can not say enough positive things about him and his staff. He is the best. John Z. (Mesa AZ)

I love Dr. Clifford. He does work I can trust. He always makes sure that I am satisfied before I leave his office. He has done work for the whole family and we all love him. The last time he put a crown on one of my teeth he let me watch how my crown was made. It was awesome. He prepped my tooth and made my crown before I left his office. It was nice to have it all done in one sitting.

I didn't have to come back a week later for the finished product. It is great how Dr. Clifford stays up with all of the latest and greatest techniques! I love his whole office staff. His dental hygienists do a great job too! I feel so blessed to have such a terrific dentist!

Dr. Clifford and his staff have completely changed my level of anxiety when going to the dentist office. I originally went to Dr. Clifford in need of emergency care after being referred to him by a friend.4 years later I still have a great experience each time I go. Not only is his staff friendly, they remember you by name and hobbies; the office is always friendly and not intimidating.

They work with me on my scheduling needs, and have been flexible. Clifford truly cares about his patients, getting to know them and not forcing unnecessary treatment plans upon you. He has a very gentle approach to dentistry that is sometimes difficult to find. From general checkups and cleanings to fillings and other procedures they've done for myself and my kids, this is the only dentist office I will go to.

Dr. Clifford and his staff are so friendly! The front office ladies make you feel comfortable as they ask how you are and ensure you won't be waiting long. When needing fillings or other procedures, Dr. Clifford and his assistant do a great job at putting you at ease. I always look forward to getting cleanings! Keep up the good work, Red Mountain Dental!

I was recommended and would also recommend to anyone else. Friendly and professional. I feel as much at ease as possible while still going to the dentist. The staff there have a nice way of making you feel you're going to be taken care of.

A friend of mine referred me here. I hadnt been to the dentist in about 4 years - I expected the worst. Good news is, the facility and staff are great. I couldnt ask for a better experience at a DENTIST's OFFICE! They were very informative, helpful in planning out my work to most benefit me and take full advantage of my insurance, and made me feel comfortable with the procedures and the bill!
