PATIENT REVIEWS

We were referred to Dr. Pulley when we were looking for a sedation dentist. We could not be more pleased! He was a godsend!!! I would strongly recommend him to anyone, but especially to someone with a special situation. My husband has a medical condition but needed significant dental work. What to do and how to do it? Well, the amazing Ron arranged everything pre-op and Dr. Pulley took care of the out-patient surgery. I was a nervous wreck, but they and the anesthesiologist were experts and so compassionate. Years of experience truly pay off! My husband was well taken care of, the work was accomplished, my husband is healing, and we have a new dental home. My grateful thanks to all!!! God bless!!!

This Dental office is amazing! Dr. Pulley is a wonderful dentist and he always has a smile on his face! The staff are amazing as well. I never have to wait for my appointment either. And this dental office doesn’t require a 48 hour cancellation policy either. The last dentist I went to was all about the money, not the patient. Dr. Pulley treats you like a patient and his staff follow in his footsteps as well. I highly recommend this dental office.

From the front end staff, the hygienists to Dr. Pulley are wonderful, friendly and accommodating. We have been going to Desert Foothills Dental for almost 20 years and have never been disappointed. I had Nicole as my hygienist and she did a great job. She was fast, efficient and friendly. Dr. Pulley is gentle, knowledgeable and very friendly. I love going there.

I can’t say enough nice things about Dr. Pulley and his staff. I used to have really bad anxiety about the dentist (some bad experiences) to the point I hadn’t been to a dentist in over five years! We just moved to the Phoenix area and I knew it was time I HAD to find a dentist. I read a ton of reviews and Dr. Pulley’s was the one that kept winning me over. I went to Dr. Pulley’s office and met his team back in the fall of 2015 and I will never go to another dentist for as long as I can help it! I absolutely love the staff there! Everyone is incredibly friendly and puts my nerves to rest. Plus, I can watch a movie while they do the work on my teeth (BONUS!)! All the while Dr. Pulley checks in with me during the procedures to make sure I’m doing well. I have never been so passionate about a dentist in a positive way, but they have won me over!

I had a tooth very quickly go bad, after business hours, while on a business trip to the Phoenix area. I was easily able to book an emergency appointment w/Dr. Pulley for the following morning. Once in the office, every single employee was kind & friendly. They expediently got me back to be seen by Ron (Dental Assistant) who was extremely gentle and knowledgeable. He talked me through everything he was doing. Then Dr. Pulley came in to see me and continued the amazing and kind treatment. He has clearly set a standard for his practice and brings on people befitting his ideals. Dr. Pulley put me on antibiotics and a pain killer so that I could make it to my scheduled appt in Denver later in the week. He also let me know that if I couldn’t make it through the pain to my scheduled appointment that they would do what they could to make me comfortable or get me in to a local Endodontist for a root canal in the Phoenix area. In the end, I was unable to hold out to my Friday appointment and Desert Foothills was able to get a local Endodontist to stay late and make room for me in their schedule. I truly have never had such a positive experience with any dental professional before, so much so that I am honestly considering making Dr. Pulley my full time dentist as I travel to Phoenix on business fairly regularly.

I enjoy going to the dentist now that I’m a patient at Desert Foothills. The staff is warm and friendly. Marcella and Judy always remind of your appointment and if possible, call to get you in earlier. My insurance is never an issue, and the periodic cleanings are always covered. Dr. Pulley is always in the office and never ignores a call.

I’ve needed lots of dental work this last year and couldn’t find the right doctor to do it until I found Dr. Pulley. Their staff is always very pleasant and the doctor is very informative. I’m always really anxious about seeing ANY dentist but every time I walk out of Dr. Pulley’s office I feel as if I was crazy for ever worrying because they always take such good care of me. I definitely will be staying with these guys, thank you!

Dr Pulley has been my dentist for many years. He is friendly and does a great job. My last crown fit perfectly and was easy to fit!! That was amazing. The price was very fair as well. Kendra cleaned my teethed yesterday. She is also friendly and goes a very thorough job. I’m the type of person that is VERY picky about my cleanings and she was great. The front office is great too. They ANSWER the phone!!! They go reminders are snd a great crew. Thanks so much!!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Pulley and his team at Desert Foothills Dental for over 18 years and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a communicative and detail-oriented dentist. Dr. Pulley and staff provide top care in a comfortable environment utilizing the latest technology to ensure an ‘A+’ experience. Even when I moved out of the Ahwatukee area, I still make the trek from central Phoenix to his office because of the quality of the care I receive.

I love my dentist!! First off, my husband has been going to this dentist for years and suggested I switch over to them. I’m so glad I did! This is located right near Safeway’s shopping plaza and has a nice setup. There is tons of ample seating to welcome you into the office along with complimentary wifi as the cell signal can be lacking. There is a row of rooms where the chairs are turned so you have privacy. Every time I go, I get the same amazing hygienist and she does a wonderful job. She is fast at cleaning and the dentist makes sure you are all set. I have a dental implant and he is always tracking it to make sure it is okay and gave me a referral that I need to make an appointment with in the near future. The front office staff are welcoming and they are great at reminding me when my appointment is. The best part about this dentist is they are open later hours for those who work the typical 9-5 day. They have made accommodations to fit me in, in the same day. So call them, they make everything simple, easy and as pain free as they can. It is the dentist after all.

Dr. Pulley and his staff are amazing!!! Every time I’ve had work done, it has been superb. They are always good to be sensitive to my time and availability, and also explaining precisely what work is being done, and why it’s necessary. I highly recommend Desert Foothills Dental to anyone who needs any dental work done!!

My wife and I recently retired and moved to Awahtukee from out of state. Needing a dentist, we asked our new neighbors if they could recommend one. They told us how pleased they are with Dr. Pulley and his staff. We visited his office and spoke with three of Dr. Pulley’s associates in the front office. They answered our questions and made us feel very comfortable. I signed up on the spot for their very reasonably priced dental insurance, since I don’t have dental coverage on Medicare. They were able to schedule a same-day appointment for me. Veronica did X-rays and photographs, and then Anna did a tooth cleaning/polishing procedure. Both are very congenial, professional, and genuinely concerned about the comfort of their patient. I then met with Dr. Pulley, who was also very calm, professional, and welcoming. He did a thorough exam, and recommended a couple procedures I need to have done, but didn’t pressure me into making immediate appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Pulley and his staff- 5 strong stars!

I am really highly recommend this dentist office all the gals at this office and all the coworkers here are very wonderful people and also the doctor himself is very well on his patience and even the secretary and the staff is the best I have ever worked with and I will say this much if you ever need your teeth to be worked on I highly recommend coming to Desert foothills dental for work to be done because they are the bass wonderful staff and Dr.:).

This is the most pleasant and professional office ever! The people at the front desk are happy and courteous. Everyone runs on time! I never have to wait for my cleanings or dental appointment. The hygienist did a fabulous job cleaning my teeth and Dr Pulley was pleasant and explained what he found. I also like that Dr Pulley only does what is necessary. He doesn’t try to have me do extra stuff that could be expensive. Both my husband and I like this office! You should try them out!

Im so thankful for the whole crew at this office! I’m visiting from Canada and I had 2 previous failed root canals on the same tooth ( from a different dentist in Canada) and was looking for someone to do an extraction. I found Dr.Pully By searching dentist in my area. And my experience was none short of amazing! ( and I have dentist phobia from past bad experiences) Right away I felt welcomed And at ease – My favourite thing was that Dr.Pully made sure to give me all of my options when it came to the service I was requesting. He was very detailed about giving me all of the information so that I could make an informed decision, and left the choice up to me on what I wanted to do. I really appreciated that so much! My extraction went perfectly I was so comfortable and I’m so glad I had such an experienced and knowledgeable Dentist to help! Ashley was his assistant and She was a gem beside me the whole time. Marcella at the front was great and Ron easing my nerves about the sedation methods! Next time we are in the Phoenix area we will be sure to use you for our next dental needs ! — Melissa

The staff is always professional and helpful and friendly. I had my teeth cleaned and the technician Anna was wonderful. She made the whole process very pleasant and pain free. I highly recommend them for any dental needs.

Today was my first visit to their office. I have to deal with a problem wisdom tooth. I still haven’t figured out what pain has to do with wisdom. Dr Pulley also found a few other issues that needed to be addressed, since it’s been a few years since my last dentist retired. I have to say the staff was very pleasant, and they made time for me in their already busy week. My wife and friends have been using Dr. Pulley for some time now, and they have all had great things to say about the services. Dr Pulley performed miracles for one of our friends. I go back to start the real work in 2 days, so I’ll fill in some more later.

I called them for a chipped tooth. Spoke with the front desk and they were able to get me in right away. I was able to complete all the new patient paperwork online before I came in, so the whole process once I arrived was super easy. Got in, got it done and got out. The staff was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend Desert Foothills Dental!

I love going to the Desert Foothills Dental! Everyone at the office greets me by name and has something friendly to say. Teeth cleaning is almost a pleasure with Anna and Dr Pulley is wonderful, going beyond the call of duty. I feel well taken care of at Desert Foothills Dental. Thank you so much!!!

All I have to say about this place are great things. From the staff that makes you feel at home to the understanding of the staff that everyone does not feel the same about the dentist is why I call Dessert foothills Dental my home. I had the most wonderful experience going in for 3 feelings and a deep cleaning. I was In n out in a jiffy with no pain and on my way, be back soon and glad to say i’m looking forward to it!!! Thanks Guys,

After a tooth injury my son received in rugby, I took my son to see Dr. Pulley. I cannot even begin to tell you how great they were with us. We don’t have dental insurance so everything was out of pocket. We signed up with his in office dental plan and so far my son has been in 3-4 times. Twice for exams and cleanings and the other times to repair his broken tooth and fill some cavities. He explains everything he is doing and gave us great discounts with the plan. His staff are phenomenal and my son literally sleeps and snores in the chair while getting his procedures done, not kidding. Ron, April and Veronica take care of us, are super friendly and explain everything they are doing to make us comfy. Judy is a rock star with helping us get scheduled with ease. Seriously, go see him! Just go.

First, Dr. Pulley is an amazing dentist. Not only are his skills outstanding, but also he is so nice and friendly. He is a perfectionist and he truly cares about his patients. Secondly, the staff is really great! They all know their jobs well. They are very friendly and welcoming. The office is very nice, clean and comfortable as well.  I won’t go to any other dentist!

I recently went to this office, and the staff was AMAZING! Unfortunately they didn’t take my current insurance, and I will be changing that come open enrollment so I can get back in with this office. The dental hygienist I saw was so great and gentle with me, and I loved how she explained everything so that I was able to understand. It’s really everything you could ask for in a dental office.

Dr. Pulley and his staff are ABSOLUTELY amazing! My family and I have been patients of Dr. Pulley for over a decade and I have never in my life experienced such a high and sustained level of satisfaction, let alone from a dentist! (Lol!) There is just something very unique and very special about Dr. Pulley, personally, as well as that of the top-notch staff he consistently maintains. (Which in my experience is rare for dentists’ offices!) You are undoubtedly treated like family when you are a patient of Dr. Pulley! As such, obviously with all that said, I would highly recommend his office to ANYONE and EVERYONE! In fact, when my parents (snowbirds) come to town they save all their dental needs for when they arrive at Dr. Pulley’s wonderful office! The folks at Desert Foothills Dental continue to refuse to disappoint! THE BEST DENTIST AND STAFF EVER!

Hands down this has to be by far the BEST Dentist I have ever been to! The entire staff are always very positive, upbeat, friendly and make you feel welcome and comfortable. I have bad anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist, because of all my teeth issues. Dr. Pulley is a wonderful dentist and anyone out there that has the same struggles as me with going to the dentist, needs to go to this dental office. The last dentist I went to was all about the money and not about the patient and I almost wanted to give up trying to find a trustworthy, honest and friendly dentist again. I am SO happy I asked for recommendations on my Nextdoor app!! 95% of the recommendations were for Dr. Pulley and now I see why and am so happy I didn’t give up. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DENTAL OFFICE

Desert Foothills Dental has been my dental office of choice now for almost 7 years. I can not tell you in this review how blessed I feel to have found a dental office and staff , mind you , that make you feel like family ! That says a lot when it’s a dentist! Because if you are like me, I would rather do many other things than have dental appointments! Dr. Pulley is gentle , kind and professional.. most of all , he cares! He has brought in a new dentist too, Dr. Justin Jones, I like him a lot too.. BUT, honestly when I saw him last, I almost cried driving away because I knew that it meant that Dr. Pulley is possibly putting the ‘gears in motion’ so he can enjoy his post dental life, as he should , ( and I am just being selfish! ). My family goes here now too. My husband is the epitome of , well, a weak sauce and passed out during a routine filling once and they let me know .. even though I was flying ! My daughter had her wisdom teeth done last summer on her break and again, that warm , caring care you don’t get everywhere came through all the way to Dr. Pulley , himself, helping my wobbly daughter to the car. I adore Judy, who always answers the phone in her kind voice and greets you with a smile and Ron who is always smiling and laughing ! My teeth always look great too and I’ve had Zoom here , as well. Marcella even finds when I’ve over paid and sends checks ! Yay! I can’t imagine a better dentist or team.. that just feels like family !

Dr. Pulley is a great dentist in a no frills office. Sure, it isn’t as snazzy as my old dentist’s office. But the staff is cheerful, friendly and… best of all… they won’t over-bill you! I was told by my previous dentist that I needed a pricey onlay for one of my teeth (actually three, but I got two of them done before I decided to get a second opinion). The previous dentist told me I needed to replace my old amalgam filling on three surfaces with an onlay because a regular white filling wouldn’t hold. I got a second opinion with Dr. Pulley who said I needed, at most, a two surface filling. The difference in price AFTER my Delta Dental insurance was about $371. Needless to say, I got the filling done at Dr. Pulley’s office. I also brought my daughter here to get her teeth checked when I thought she might have cracked a couple of them. It turned out the enamel on those two teeth hadn’t properly formed (something the previous office never told me). She was comfortable here, even though there was not a game room and she didn’t get a toy after the visit like at the other office. I was not charged for my second opinion, nor on my daughter’s quick checkup. Dr. Pulley and his staff make you feel warm and welcomed. The only thing that would make it better for my family is if they would offer some sort of “prize” after a child’s checkup, which is always an incentive for a child to be on best behavior! Of course, I can always spend $5 at Target if it means a hassle free visit with a place that won’t make me feel ripped off. 🙂

This office is awesome!. I have never been there before and from the moment I called for an emergency tooth problem I was treated like family. Very professional and only allowing one patient at a time in the office, I instantly felt like I was in good hands. I was scheduled quickly but unfortunately had to undergo a serious procedure for over 3 hours. I certainly thought I was in for a few days, if not weeks of pain. Doctor Pulley and staff made sure I was comfortable through the entire procedure and here it is the next day and already feel better without the need for additional pain mess. I can’t thank Desert Foothills Dentistry enough for the elecellant and professional service during these trying times. I would highly recommend them for all your dental needs.

Despite the complications of the pandemic, I was able to get in right away and have someone look at a problem with one of my teeth. They utilized precautions and got me settled right away. They made sure I understood all the charges and they even had a great plan send I no longer had insurance after my retirement. I would definitely recommend them!

I haven’t known of many people who have loved going to the dentist. I definitely did not enjoy my yearly visits until about 2 years ago. The first time I walked into Desert Foothills Dental, I was warmly greeted by the amazing Judy. She was incredibly helpful and attentive. You can tell that she genuinely cares for all the patients she encounters. I had a cleaning with Ron, and not only was he incredibly thorough but gentle and so friendly. Upon meeting Dr. Pulley, I felt like instant family. He was so kind, compassionate, and had a great way of making me feel at ease. I can honestly say that two years later, I don’t cringe when I have to visit the dentists office. Dr. P and all of the staff really treat patients like family and do all they can to make dentistry and enjoyable experience.

Dr. Pulley and his staff are the best! I am always so impressed with how Dr. Pulley interacts with his patients and truly cares about them. I also think that Dr. Pulley might be the most thorough dentist, or any type of doctor, that I have ever met! The staff is awesome too and the office always seems to have the latest technology. Desert Foothills Dental is the best and I highly recommend them for all your dental needs!

They are awesome, awesome, AWESOME!! I hadn’t been to a dentist in 36 years & needed my wisdom teeth removed (one was broken). Needless to say I was freaking out about it. The staff there was phenomenal. They present themselves more like a family than just co-workers. They were extremely patient with me, very reassuring, & fun, fun, fun! After feeling me out for a few minutes they were joking about everything to keep my mind off of things starting with the initial exam. On extraction day they got me doped up & then gave me full IV sedation while reassuring me procedures have drastically changed since 36yrs ago. It’s 28hrs later, I haven’t touched the pain meds, I have no pain, just a little gum soreness like after eating tortilla chips or Cap’n Crunch. I’m stunned at how well this went! Obviously the Dentist is very well skilled or I’d be hurting. Staff was great. Shout out to Victoria for joking away all my apprehensions! These folks are GREAT!! I thought I would NEVER utter these words, but I found a dentist I actually like! I highly recommend them!

I decided to try this office recently and don’t regret it. I have such a big fear of going to the dentist and after my experience at Desert Foothills Dental I won’t go anywhere else..the dentist had the most amazing upbeat attitude and put my mind at ease instantly! Also, Fabbi and Sonya were amazing with my exam and my cleaning. 10/10!!!

Best dentistry I’ve every had. The office folks are awesome! The courtesy call is great but it was the research and homework they did that helped me receive a credit! A credit? who gets a credit at a dentist office? The dentist and the vet are the two places one always walks out lighter in the pocket yet these folks found a way to me money? I didn’t even ask for it! I’m a fan and that’s not even rating their excellent dentist work. I’ve shopped around in the past – I stopped shopping when I found Dr. Pulley and his staff.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
