Default Dr. Forest Jerkins, best dentist I've been to

Just left my third visit to Dr. Jerkins in Fuitland Park. Have never been to a dentist as good and gentle as he, and I live in fear of dentists. I have had a cleaning, xray and filling so far. He does not try to sell anything other than what I need and is priced reasonably He is pleasure to deal with. (never thought I would say that about a dentist.)

I got his name from this site and owe all who recommended him a thanks.

Ohhhh.

It's SO DIFFICULT not to make a joke about a Dentist named "Jerkin."

He's the first dentist I've had that I actually relax and enjoy the visit. I agree wholeheartedly that he only does what really needs to be done. I have a cracked tooth and as long as it gives no discomfort he is in no hurry to do anything with it. His staff is also very friendly and accommodating. Everyone I've recommended him to has been very pleased.

When I was in High School I dated a girl named Joan Filler. Her father was a dentist named Edward Zachery Filler. His sign outside of his office said
"EZ Filler - Dentist" True Story!

Yes, I have recommended him many times and he grew up in the area. I like the fact that he does not push veneers and other "cosmetic only" procedures. When he checks with his hygenist after my cleaning, they say I am "boring" because I don't need anything done...nice to hear. Also she does my cleaning the old fashioned way per my request ...without the water pic thing-a-ma-jig : )

Highly recommend him.
