About Hygienist: Being not the most diligent in flossing, the hygienist works hard to keep things healthy. From deep cleaning where they use a topical anesthetic, to the routine 4 month cleaning, they do a great job, explaining what is going on and being encouraging.
Hygiene time: 60

About Front Desk: Friendly, and always welcome me by name.

About Hygienist: I've seen two hygenists, and both have been very friendly, thorough, and efficient. The one time I went in and I *knew* I hadn't kept up with my flossing, I wasn't made to feel like a 5 year old when I was reminded of how important flossing is.

About Hygienist: ALL the staff here are great, the hygienists, as well as receptionists. They're so kind and patient. Danielle has worked with me the most, and she's really gracious and gentle, and has a great attitude. It's really nice to see her, she's so nice and friendly and makes going to the dentist a lot easier than it can be sometimes! She does a really great job.

About Hygienist: Continued from above: Just had my follow up visit, a root canal and 2 crowns in one visit. Assistant Danielle was great and patient helping me overcome anxiety about the dams/bite block. They offered movie glasses but I listened to my ipod the whole time. Dr. Kollia was excellent - efficient and very sensitive to any discomfort. She explained everything as she went, we even joked that it was boring to some extent, I said "boring is good". The oddest part (in a good way) was, after what seemed like 90 minutes of root canal, high tech imaging for my "while you wait crowns" and all the prep work for the teeth, I got a break for them to machine the 2 crowns while I waited. A process that I think took about an hour or so to mill and bake. So, in this 'break' period, I was talking to Dr. Kollia while she designed the crowns on the computer (very cool), about her commitment & investment in the new technology and even about her practice of scheduling different. I was also invited into the lab to watch the crowns be made and baked in the oven. I felt like I was part of the staff (actually probably getting in their way), it was pretty cool. After the break, it was another 20-30 minutes to get the crowns finally fit and cemented to Dr. Kollia's liking. Then some final photos. I actually at first didn't know exactly which two teeth they had worked on, the bite and appearance is excellent, no pain, no temporaries, my crowns look like my teeth! It's really strange to think for somebody that hasn't historically enjoyed a trip to the dentist that the experience was incredibly positive. Dr. Kollia and Danielle helped me, knowingly or not, overcome my anxiety with their kindness and professionalism plus I was in and out in one visit pain free. Dr. Kollia essentially sets her appointments for major work like this to spend half her day with you (as mentioned above, she wanted to change the way her practice makes schedules). She wasn't busy ready to run off to check on other patients during the visit like many dentists, or if she did I couldn't even tell, it felt like I was the person in the office. Long review but well worth it. Dr. Kollia and her staff are great in every respect and their technology is incredible. I plan on being a long time patient from here on out.

About Hygienist: Olga was GREAT. She did the majority of the examination and was very thorough. Although x-ray examinations are a bit cumbersome with all the biting and probing, Olga was very gentle and fast. She made sure to get the uncomfortable parts done efficiently and quickly. I didn't tear up once. Olga also did the first and last parts of the cleaning, and I was definitely impressed by her. Her work alone would make me go back to the dentist. She's very knowledgeable and comforting, so you feel at ease while you're on the chair. After the cleaning, I now feel like my mouth is the cleanest part of my body. I was hesitant to tarnish my teeth with food after that cleaning, but equipped with the knowledge that Olga dropped on me, I knew I could better take care of my teeth. Also, I could rely on Olga the next time I visit the office =).
