Knew of her for years through other folks who had great results with her. Took my son in to finally see her after he had been pestering me because he was worried his teeth looked weird. She did an exam and told me his spacing was normal and did not need braces. I appreciated her honesty with me (and with him). He stopped pestering me after he saw her! She's super smart too and went to MIT(Massachusetts institute of technology). If my son ever did need braces I would definitely go to her since she went to the top school for engineering in addition to being a dentist!
