Dr. K was personable, professional and answered ALL my questions about the procedure. He was a great help in making my decision. Appointments were accurate with no wait time. Every step of the process from making appointments, to directions and aftercare exceeded expectations. AND, the work he did on my tooth went smoothly with a successful outcome

Gail Knoxville, TN

Everyone at this office is absolutely amazing!

Latisha Maryville, TN

This place was great. You will not dread your root canal anymore. Dr. Gaudry knows what he’s doing and the staff couldn’t be any nicer! I had no problems at all

LouAnne B Knoxville, TN

Dreaded the procedure, like most people - but it was a breeze. A professional staff was the first thing I noticed. No pain whatsoever; Dr. K explained everything he was doing throughout the process, which was very helpful in alleviating stress. Add to that the fact that Dr. K called me personally to see how I was doing at 8:30 pm that evening - not a staff member but the Dr. himself. Never seen that before, ever - this was a great experience

Scott C. Lenoir City, TN

Dr. Gaudry was excellent. He explained in detail (I like that) what he was doing and what to expect. Very happy with this experience.
