Dr. Sam E. Farish, DMD

Clifton Road’s stretch near Emory feels like a quiet hub for healthcare, with specialists tucked between research buildings and tree-lined sidewalks. Among them is Dr. Sam E. Farish, DMD, a dental practice handling everything from routine cleanings to more involved procedures like crowns and extractions. The office sits at 1365 Clifton Rd NE # B2300, a location that’s as convenient for Emory students as it is for longtime Atlanta residents who prefer staying close to the university area.

Dentist visits aren’t exactly anyone’s idea of a good time, but having one near major transit routes and campus shuttles at least cuts down on the hassle. This practice covers the basics—fillings, root canals, periodontal care—without the frills of a spa-like experience. If you’re the type who just wants a no-fuss checkup or needs a second opinion on a treatment plan, a quick call to (404) 778-4500 will get you started. No promises on wait times, but the proximity to Emory’s medical complex means you’re never far from backup options if needed.

The building itself is part of that mid-century institutional style so common around university hospitals, which means parking might require a bit of patience. For exact directions or to scope out the entrance ahead of time, the map listing lays it out clearly. Just don’t expect a flashy storefront—this is Clifton Road, where function usually wins over aesthetics.
