I saw Dr. Pouso for an exam and xrays. After a pano and 4 BWs were taken, the Dr. discovered that I needed a root canal. She was able to fit me in that instant because there was a cancellation. The Dr. was sweet, gentle, informative, and very approacheable. I learned more about root canals and how age affects patients' nerve pain level. The older someone is, the smaller the pulp, the less pain. The root canal was completed without any complications. I was only numbed up with Septocaine, and didn't feel any discomfort- no need for nitrous or anything extra. I got a temporary fill on the tooth for now. The procedure took less than an hour, which is great for a molar RTC. The cost wasn't bad. Root canals aren't cheap, but necessary sometimes. The office was spotless and very technologically advanced. I truly felt like I was receiving the best treatment possible. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. If you are going to see a dentist- absolutely see this dentist before anyone else. The best dental experience, hands down.

About Front Desk: Dawn greeted me when I arrived. She was courteous and polite. Gave me some paperwork to fill out and some water. Pooja helped me with insurance and billing. She went over my insurance with me and explained how benefits go in detail and setup a great payment plan for me. I got advice on what to get done and when to do it to maximize my insurance benefits. She was also very friendly and interesting. I wasn't bored for a second. Overall- I highly recommend this office. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable. It felt like a spa. I was treated with kindess and respect. I can't wait for my next visit :)

Hygiene rating:

About Hygienist: Kristy took the xrays and did my cleaning. She was also very friendly and sweet. A lot of offices have hygienists who just sit there and clean in silence. She was talkative, interesting, and entertaining. Made the cleaning time enjoyable, which can be very difficult to do. Everything was done in less than an hour, which is good timing. As I already mentioned, the office was super clean, but here is more- I actually saw the hygienist sanitize the operatory after I left, and she did a good job. The cleaning was gentle and thorough.

I know this doctor: 2 days
