I've been to Dr. Barr a number of times and have had a few different hygienists and I agree with other reviewers--they do a great job. They have high tech equipment like an intra-oral camera that takes pictures in your mouth---then they enlarge on the computer screen to show you any problems, cracks, etc. that might not be visible to the naked eye. They have digital x-rays, too, which I very much prefer because of the lower radiation than the old standard kind. Dr. Barr seemed nice and, thankfully, I have not needed any major work done so I can't really comment on his skills. But my complaint is that it is super hard to get an appointment if you don't book your next appointment at the time of your last appointment--i.e., 6 months in advance (or if something comes up and you can't keep that appointment). If you try to get an appointment at another time, you may have to wait 3 or 4 months to get in. Sometimes, you cannot get an appointment at all! You have to go on a waiting list and they'll call you if there is a cancellation. Not ideal. SO, he might be a good dentist in a nice downtown office with great equipment and staff and relatively high prices--but good luck getting an appointment!
