Robert S Palmer, DDS

Dr. Palmer and his staff are great. Professional and friendly. I got THE most thorough and informative checkup/​cleaning at this office. Took some «before» pictures of my teeth to keep on file. Not just xrays, but photos. They even looked at the health of my tongue (?!) and no other dentist has done that for me before. At the end of the cleaning they gave me a soft bristle toothbrush and I love it.
I also got my first-​ever fillings here to fix how much I used to grind my teeth at night. Was able to get it done without any numbing or pain killers. Quick and easy!

Needed a new dentist to do some restorative work and based on previous reviews tried Dr. Palmer. Very happy with the result. Same day crown, extremely fast and with no pain. Great staff, very friendly, efficient and caring. I’ll be back, so happy to have found my new dentist.

I picked this place because it was close (I live north of downtown) and because they took appointments online.
Unlike my hair saloon, these online appointments, were actually just letting their receptionist know you wanted a phone call. I hate the phone, and truly wanted a totally online deal, but the receptionist was friendly – once she got around to talking to me and hour or two later. Also, they have their own schedule (as all dentist offices do – luckiest medical professionals ever) so the latest exam appointments were not very late. I think 11 AM mostly with a weekly 3 PM? Something like that. Not that late when you work until 1:30 AM like I do. The location required a u-​turn from the direction I was coming, which is a pain, and the parking lot was small and shared with other businesses.
Once the logistics of scheduling and arriving were out of the way, I really liked their office. Really, it’s the support staff that makes the experience, and Dr. Palmer’s is wonderful! The receptionist is friendly and efficient. And later she jumped through a lot of hoops to make calls and answer a question I had, which I greatly appreciated. The hygienist and I’m guessing some sort of intern or hygienist-​assistant (?) were friendly, thorough and overall lovely – taking time to answer every question I had. No tough love or painful touch from them!
The dentist had little to do for my case since it was pretty basic, but had a good manner.

I love this dentist! I got 5 teeth extracted. He had to put Anesthia a couples of times in my mouth but I didn’t feel no pain. He is very caring. He would ask my a lot Are you okay? With all honesty I have found my dentist for my family and I. I am so happy I found him on Unilocal.The dental assistants and the receptionist are very sweet as well. His whole staff is awesome!

Dr. Palmer and his staff consistently go above and beyond to make the person that they are seeing feel as if they are the only client that they have. I was more than hesitant to see a dentist for financial reasons, and also because of my fear and history with bad dentists. He absolutely changed that for me. From the first visit I felt comfortable and informed on my dental hygiene. Dr. Palmer discussed all of my financial options and worked with me so that my care options were catered to my needs. He and his staff are truly genuine people that want the best for you. He has now seen a few of my friends and family members and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I recently moved to UT and was very hesitant on seeing a new dentist considering I’ve had my dentist for 25+ yrs and after reading many reviews of other dentists, I chose Dr. Palmer. After my first visit with him and the team, I found my new dentist.
I went in for a checkup and cleaning and everyone on the team was very friendly. During the process, they explained everything they were going to do and they were very thorough. I had some buildup on my teeth so it required some scrapping but after going through that, I never realized how heavy handed my old dentist was. The hygienist performing the procedure on my teeth had very lite hands and didn’t feel a thing.
My old dentist never charged me for dental work so I can’t say whether or not Dr Palmer’s prices are reasonably priced or not.

I’ve been seen by probably a dozen dentists since I was a kid, and Dr. Palmer is definitely among the best — the rare mix of good bedside manner (err, «chair“side manner!), skilled (he did wonders in re-​shaping/​sculpting my front two teeth), and reasonably priced (my prior dentist here in Salt Lake charged me a ton more, for less and subpar work!). I highly recommend him.

He’s great and so is his staff. The facility is older — a classic and sort of cramped space, but he has invested is technology that makes your cleaning and exam simpler, more comfortable and more effective. I would give it 5 stars except I never feel like I get a deep cleaning. But I always feel like I get a good cleaning, and great care. He’s not the type to suggest unnecessary procedures and his chair side manner is amiable and competent.

I recently moved to Salt Lake City and was looking for a dentist close to where I live. I found Dr. Palmer’s office and called right away. They were able to accommodate me the same day. Upon entering the office, I was impressed by how clean and nice it is. The receptionist was very welcoming. Dr. Palmer and his assistant were fantastic. They did a great job on my cleaning and made sure the whole time that I was comfortable.
A week after the appointment, I got a handwritten letter from Dr. Palmer thanking me. That had never happened to me before so I was definitely very impressed. I will be coming back for sure.

As someone who moves around a lot I have the opportunity to experience multiple dentists. This allows me to compare and contrast what makes a great dentist visit and what makes a terrible one.
After getting a cleaning at a different dentist they told me I had three cavities and that it would be roughly $ 500 to fill them. I decided to get a second opinion with doctor Bobby Palmer. Bobby was personable, professional, and gave me an honest opinion. He advised me to only fill one of the cavities and watch the other two for changes. I appreciated his opinion and my bank account did also. I felt like he cared about me and he was not just pushing me through the steps.
Other things that contributed to a good experience with doctor Bobby Palmer and his team was the professionalism on the phone, affective scheduling/​not having to wait, clean office and décor, friendly staff, good prices, and there was no discomfort when having the cavity filled. To top it all off a day after the appointment I received a thank you letter with hand writing on it. Cant say that about any of the doctors I have been to.
Thanks Bobby. I will be returning.
