Patient Testimonial "In the later part of 2012 I’d been suffering from soreness above my front tooth and found it necessary to see my good friend Dr. Kendall Scholes. Through the oral cancer screening process and biopsy they were able to identify that I had Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Fortunately, Dr. Scholes was able to assess the situation early enough to begin proper cancer treatment. I will be ever grateful to Dr. Scholes and his office staff for their kindness, treatment, and help in fighting this battle of cancer. We would highly recommend Dr. Scholes and his office to anyone needing a periodontist. Thanks again Dr. Scholes!" – D. Lamoreaux |
