Today, Dr. Pardue is grateful to be home in Catawba County providing the highest standard of quality and comfort in dentistry for his patients here. He remains passionate about helping patients find relief from their sleep apnea and completing full-mouth restorations. Dr. Pardue’s biggest joy is seeing his patients’ confidence return and quality of life improve after dental treatment. His practice extends beyond simply treating smiles. Dr. Pardue has volunteered his dental skills locally at several Mission of Mercy dental clinics and served on mission trips to Romania and the Dominican Republic. He is passionate about giving back to the community that helped to raise him and regularly donates to local non-profits. His spirit of generosity informs every detail of his care, and he truly understands that every patient comes to him with their own unique life story. Dr. Pardue is purposeful in fostering friendship and trust with his patients, allowing him to provide the most personalized care possible. His broad experience in dentistry has informed his personal philosophies on patient care - his singular goal: educating every patient that sits in his chair. Dr. Pardue believes the most important aspect of his job is thoroughly teaching each patient about their own particular oral needs, and making sure any suggested treatment plans are fully understood before leaving the office. He understands that there are many personal factors at play in choosing to undergo a dental procedure, and believes if he has done his job educating properly, every patient experience can be a collaboration between patient and dentist on what is best for them. His hope in focusing on education in this way is to relieve any anxieties or hesitations that could occur due to a lack of confidence in him as a provider. He wants every patient to leave feeling confident and proud of the dental care they receive while in our building.

Outside of the office, Dr. Pardue enjoys hiking and bike riding with his wife (also a Catawba County native) and three children. He is a hobby golfer when he finds the time, but more often you can find him running Hickory’s City Walk or around Lenoir Rhyne’s campus. He has completed various triathlons and marathons and is always looking for the next race. He loves camping with his family and reads as much historical nonfiction as he can!
