Dr. Acosta is a great dentist! I am very sensitive in my teeth and have been to many dentists that just didn't understand how to make sure that I'm completely numb. She figured it out and I don't even feel the initial shot.
No only that, but most times in other offices, the shots would wear off well before the Dr. was finished and they would have to shoot me up again! - not with Dr. Acosta because she is not only good about getting the right combination of shots (I need three different kinds) but it lasts for about 45 minutes and she's always done by then. She has never had to give me another shot because she doesn't run a huge, high capacity practice and always stays with me until the work is done.
And it doesn't hurt that she has a great personality, is very nice, relaxed, and pleasant. It feels like a friend is working on you - not a distant megalomanic like others I have been to. I would highly recommend her. And her staff is a complete joy!
Also, Dr. Acosta has made sure that I don't have a single bit of mercury or metal of any kind in my mouth anymore - at my request.
She is a real specialist as far as I'm concerned!
