I have been Dr. Peklin’s patient for nearly a decade. Have done everything from cavity filling to root canal to implant. You will not find better skilled dentist in the area. His knowledge, experience and personal attention to his patients is second only to his dedication to save you from suffering(who of us didn’t experienced a toothache) I have had a good share of Dentists in my life, most of them are good, no doubt. But I stay with Dr.Peklin. He is great!!! I highly recommend him as very knowledgable, skilled and caring dentist. What else can you ask from you doctor?

I came to Dr. Peklin 12 years ago. I had a very complicated case and needed a second opinion. My friend suggested to see Dr.Peklin. After a very thorough exam Dr. Peklin gave me an honest opinion about what I needed to have done and what could wait. He presented a few options and came with a detailed treatment plan that we followed and completed within a year(several surgeries, crowns, implants, etc.). Since that time I have been seeing Dr. Peklin regularly: twice a year for my cleanings and check-ups. I’m always happy to recommend Dr. Peklin to other people. He is honest, straight forward, highly skillful and caring dentist. Many of my friends and relatives became patients of Dr. Peklin during these years, and I always receive positive feedbacks

A good friend of mine highly recommended Dr. Peklin. I recommend that you don’t ask your friend for recommendations because this proved to put a rift in our friendship. Bluntly put, I’ve seen twenty dentists in my lifetime, and Dr. Peklin ranks last. He lacks knowledge, compassion, and patience. I had extreme sensitivity and pain to cold in the bottom right-hand side of my mouth. Dr. Peklin decided I needed a widom tooth to be filled. I asked him if we should just pull it, and he said No. So he removed the decay and packed the hole with a medication and told me to come back in a few months. I was still experiencing pain and sensitivity when I returned, but he went ahead and filled the tooth. I continued to experience sensitivity and pain over the next few months, so I went back to Dr. Peklin. He said I was«too sensitive» and he sprayed some awful chemical over the tooth. It helped for a few weeks, but the pain and sensitivity returned. I finally decided to see a different dentist. The dentist took an x-ray of my wisdom tooth and asked me why I didn’t have it pulled earlier. I told him about Dr. Peklin and he looked confused. I called Dr. Peklin to ask for an appointment to have the tooth pulled, but he became irate and belligerent. He said, «Should I pull all of your teeth, too?» A few weeks later, I had the tooth pulled by an oral surgeon and I haven’t had any problems since.
