Dr Whitaker has a very calming style to his practice and thoroughly explains the procedures throughout the process. Additionally, they are great with children and my son Jack won't quit talking about his next dentist visit."

TINA PEBLEY

"I have recently retired and wanted to find a Dentist closer to home. My previous dentist was closer to my work in Sacramento. I went to 3 different Dentists in Placerville trying to find a good fit for my needs. I finally found Richard Whitaker DDS. I am very happy with his exam and determination as to what I need and what are optional. His honesty and professional skills are amazing. I recently met with their Hygienist, I was very happy and pleased with her expert skills and knowledge. I recommend R. Whitaker DDS to everyone who is looking for a Dentist."
