Robert S Parminter, DDS

I have been coming to Dr. Parminter for about 4 years now. I was recommended by my aunt and cousin. There’s nothing like finding a good dentist and to me Dr. P is great. I have always been happy with his work. I recently had a root canal and crown put in all on the same day. Dr. P has new technology that enables him to do things on site instead of sending out. This makes it so much easier because I didn’t have to come back for my crown. It was made here. Super convenient. He tells you exactly what he’s going to do next and what you will feel. This helps to ease the nerves and you know what to expect. Staff is always very pleasant and just all around nice people here. They make coming to the dentist a little less painful. :) They recently moved to a new location not to far from where they were before. They are now off Whittier Blvd/​La Entrada.

BEWARE — DO NOT USE THIS DENTIST. This is the worse dentist in the Whittier area. He overcharges and doesn’t do the work. Most of the work was done by the assist and hygentist. He does not make you feel comfortable and his arrogance is disgusting. Don’t waste your time and money nor your insurance’s money. There are many other local dentist that will give you excellent care and service.

After moving away from my home town, where I had the same dentist since birth, I was a little worried about finding a new one. Once settled in the Whittier area, i got lucky with a recommendation from a friend. I have now been going to Dr. Parminter for 5+ years.
He is knowledgeable about his craft, he is gentle and does a great job. He does not make you go through unneeded procedures. He is also very friendly, talking to you and making you feel at home in his dentist office.
His staff is also friendly and professional, they add to the homey atmosphere making it a family friendly place. They have a flexible schedule and it is easy to obtain appointments. As a bonus his office is easy to find, being in one of the tallest buildings in Whittier, located on Colima Road near Whittier Blvd.
I highly recommend him to anyone in the area!

This was my dentist’s office for a few years. It used to be either a father-​son team or an uncle-​nephew team. It may have even been two brothers and one of the brother’s sons. Or it may have been a father and two sons.
In any case, I believe the older one retired a few years ago, and the younger one (s) still practices. I actually liked the older one better; I felt more at ease with him, but both are capable dentists.
I got my first cavities (all eight of them) when this was my dentist’s office, and they convinced me to get the porcelain fillings instead of the metal ones. They weren’t supposed to last long, but ten years later, they’re still in. (Knock on something.) Dr. Parminter, the younger one, also pulled one of my wisdom teeth (it was impacted) during a normal checkup. That made my mom angry, as I didn’t realize how much he would charge, but it was a far less frightening procedure than when I had my other three removed by another oral surgeon.
Dr. Parminter is friendly, maybe a little too friendly, but he does lay off of the questions after a while. All of the dental hygienists are friendly, and scheduling isn’t a hassle for the most part.
I’d give it about 3.49 stars just so I don’t feel bad about not rounding up.
