I adore Van as a person and I completely appreciate his meticulous dentistry and his willingness to explain my treatment options even beyond the point that I think I need to understand them. If you ever want a second opinion, go see Van. He might save you hundreds of dollars because he really is on the side of the patient and understands what it means to be on a budget. He's kind of a Sherlock Holmes of dental diagnostics as well as a prioritizer if you have money issues.
I switched dentists for awhile because he sometimes is really hard to get an appointment with and he takes longer than most dentists, but I recently went back to him and I don't think I would go back to anyone else. And he has a huge CD collection in his office and relaxing pictures pinned to the ceiling to look at while you're being worked on.
About Hygienist: If I'm not mistaken, he does all the work himself which I think is even better!
