I live in the Lehigh valley are and I had a terrible abscess tooth that my dentist said needed to be extracted. I called a million different oral surgeons in my area and not one of them could take me for weeks and that was just for a consult! My family who lives in the back mountain told me to call Watkins and Medura. They got me in that very next morning and removed the tooth in ten minutes with ease and zero pain. I am not sure of the dentist or the other girls name who worked on me but they were above and beyond phenomenal and could not be any more calming and comforting. I would recommend this

In the area from out of town (FL). Woke up with a terrible toothache and no experience with any local dental office. Within 1 hour of calling Watkins Dental Group had me in the office. Dr. Craig and Jillion were wonderful! Kind, thorough knowledgeable and professional. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them. Thank you Watkins Dental Group!

I have been going to Dr. Scott Watkins for many years now. I would not even think about going to anyone else. I used to be so afraid of needles and he was very patient with me and has helped me along the way to overcome that fear. He listens to your concerns and explains everything to you so you understand what is wrong and how he is going to fix it. The staff is awesome and are all so nice. I look forward going to the dentist!!! I definitely recommend Dr. Watkins and his dental group.

You would be hard pressed to find a more qualified implant dentist in the area. Dr. Watkins is a highly credentialed implantologist, is always on the leading edge and I would have zero hesitation trusting him with any of my dental needs.

A very wonderful staff, I felt welcome from my first consult wit Dr. Scott! I got a coffee mug, which I felt was a very nice touch. I have a horrible history with dentists, but I have to say I’ve been extremely comfortable and relaxed during my visits. I’m in the process of two dental implants, and it has been flawless so far. I’m in the home stretch and I’m very excited to see the end result! I never have a long wait and everything has always been explained thoroughly. Definitely top notch!
