My husband and I have both been patients as needed .he came highly recommended from my general dentist. I hate to say it but i,m not crazy about dentists let,s face it who really is but I can really say I love this guy he has always been very pleasant makes sure you are comfortable and pain free every time I have been there. i honestly have never been in pain even after my surgeries .and the best part he's always got a pint of my favorite ice cream waiting when i'm ready to go home ha ha. oh he also calls to check on you too. thanks Dr. kakos! the dooley family
