When my teeth was broken off, I
went to see you dentist. I was glad to see you. I never forget your kind. Thank
you very much.
Many thanks AGAIN for the
terrific service and most personal care for (name). He was very satisfied with
how it went so smoothly and most appreciative of your extra attention.
I really appreciated your
patience with me yesterday. You went miles out of your way to make me feel
comfortable. Thank you!
John,
Thanks for the very thorough
work-up of this case.
Thank you for taking such good
care of (name)
I (heart) my new tooth! Thank you
for your great work on my new tooth. It has been nice going through the
holidays with it.
When your six-year-old patient
says "it's my lucky day-I get to go to the dentist!” you know you
have succeeded magnificently!
Thanks so much for being a great
help to my extended family….
I discovered Dr. McInturff when
my four-year-old son decided to try flying from the back of a chair and, of
course landed on his face. I called Dr. McInturff, and he said to come on in
and he would check my son' s front teeth. He managed to calm a scared child and
check his teeth. I was so impressed. Our whole family changed dentists to Dr.
McInturff. I would not consider going to any other dentist. Dr. McInturff and
his staff rock!
I've thoroughly been impressed with the
work done by Dr. McInturff! The staff is friendly and personable. The work done
is amazing! With the hands of a skilled master craftsman and an eye for detail,
Dr. McInturff has restored my teeth to practically their natural state from a
state of pain and decay. From root canals and fillings to restoration of prior
lackluster outside work from years past, Dr. McInturff has personally taken the
time to ensure my best health and comfort. He takes his time to make sure
everything is perfect. On one occasion, I felt discomfort after a root canal.
He investigated and found a small bubble trapped between two canals leading to
the same root. The doctor took the time to remove part of the root canal and
refill it, making sure to remove the air bubble. I recommend him to everyone.
Also, ask him about his homemade violins! This is truly one talented
dentist!
My husband and I have been very pleased
with the care provided by Dr. McInturff and his friendly staff! As students, we
needed a dentist who would provide the care that we needed and explain our financial
options for treatment. Dr. McInturff did both: he listed main priorities for
our dental care and guided us through the possibilities. My husband and I have
benefitted from his expertise and attention to detail. When I go to Dr.
McInturff's office, I know that I will be treated by the dentist himself and
that I am in good hands. Dr. McInturff is really a man of skill and I recommend
him to anyone in need of quality care.
If you are looking for a dentist that
pays close attention to detail and craftsmanship, boy howdy, Dr. McInturff's
your man.

Dear Dr.
McInturff,
All the while
when you were working on my tooth, the following words flashed in my mind:
Artistry
Finesse
Painstaking
Attention to
detail…
Now that the
chipped tooth is fixed, I think of “seamlessness, smooth, joy…” Indeed, a job
needing done is worth being done well. You certainly have restored my faith in
some dentists here. You never rushed. You explained procedures and materials in
easily-understood terms. It is so good to have found someone I can entrust my
teeth to.
It is so
worthwhile to have waited all these years to be able to go to you as a patient.
I am so grateful. Thank you so very much.
“I can chew
again!”
Sincerely,
I have
had serious issues with my teeth for the past year & a half. In this time, I have gone to three general
dentists (2 in Portland OR, 1 in VA) & 2 different periodontal specialists. All have tried to pull my front two upper
teeth in the first 10 minutes of the visit, & four of the five diagnosed me
with generalized periodontal disease.
One dentist even asked if I had been in a car accident, as s/he thought
the severe bone loss in the upper front section of my mouth where the teeth
connect could only result from serious trauma to the face. The total cost of
being misdiagnosed by all five dentists (including exams, specialist fees &
x-rays) was 1600.00. Not one of the five
dentists spent longer than ten minutes explaining my condition & options,
& none of the dentists cleaned my teeth or provided treatment of any kind.
Needless to say, I had pretty much given up on my now very loose front teeth,
& was seriously depressed at the thought of rolling into graduate school
this fall looking like a backwoods hillbilly. Because I was making my boyfriend
miserable with my depression about looking like a meth addict before I hit 36,
he suggested I talk to his mom about their family dentist, Dr. McInturff. He then told me that most all of his two
front teeth were actually fake (I had no idea after being with him for three
years), & that Dr. McInturff had reconstructed them ten years ago. With that, I called his mom, had her discuss
my condition with McInturff, & sent an email explaining my condition &
the unusual teeth issues other relatives of mine had faced. Keep in mind that I gave him the same
information I had given all of the previous five dentists. Anyways, McInturff got me in right away, on a
Friday no less (they actually opened the office just to get me in, as they are
normally closed on Fridays. They even knew I did not have dental
insurance). Within the first twenty
minutes of my first appointment, he suspected I had a rare condition (localized
aggressive periodontitis). He discussed
the potential treatments for this condition, but told me not to jump the
gun: he wanted to some of his colleagues
to review my case & x-rays before diagnosing me with LAP. After sharing my case with 5 other colleagues
(oral surgeons, periodontists, & 2 general dentists) located all over WA
& OR, he spent 3.5 hrs. explaining my condition & multiple avenues of
treatment based on my budget. Then he took a fast lunch break & spent 4
hrs. doing a below the gum cleaning as well as a normal cleaning & he splinted
my teeth. He was so careful that I didn’t even need anesthetic. Two dental appointments later, my teeth have
been cleaned thoroughly above & below the gum, & my front teeth
stabilized by a splint that will last until I am able to get dental insurance
(hopefully within approximately six months.
All of this was done for far less than the money I had spent getting
misdiagnosed by 5 dentists with no treatment.
Save your money & see this man:
he will save your teeth & your money. Riley McInturff, who works the office side of
the office, knows the ins & outs of dental insurance & is worth the
office visit alone. She also has amazing
stories, & is a sincerely caring person.
Seeing them was far worth the 12 hr. round-trip drive from Portland to
Pullman. I plan on getting future work done by McInturff after I start school
in SC, even though I have to fly out to Pullman from Atlanta. It will be way worth the cross-country
flight.
…. We have moved! We're now in western
Washington - actually way over in Port Angeles, so about as west as you can be.
I'm SO sad to no longer be able to see Dr. McInturff. Best dentist I've ever
had. But, we would have to drive around 9 hours to get there. However, in case
we visit the area, maybe you could keep me "active" just in case?
Dear Dr. McInturff,
Season’s Greetings!
You probably don’t remember me. I
was a patient of yours many years ago while I was a WSU graduate student. I
just want to send you a long overdue thankyou note to tell you how much I appreciate
your care when I was in Pullman. You are indeed “very good with your hands”.
Our family moved to Boston suburb in 2002. All the dentists & dental care
professionals I saw here praised the beautiful bridge you did for me while I
was in Pullman. God has been working in my heart & wants me to be thankful
for many things. Your name keeps popping up. So, accept my late Thanksgiving
note both for this year and years past….
Yuanming (Boston)
