I have had crowns put on. He seems to get things done quickly and professionally. I am not too sensitive to pain and don't mind going to dentists but I think he is gentle and explains what he is doing. I always ask questions and he is very good about answering them. He has a busy office which I consider to be good sign. I would definitely recommend him to others. I was /am a teacher and belong to the UFT/AFT coverage of New York City teachers. Most of the time I don't have to pay anything extra for my visits.
