I took my daughter to this dentist after several friends recommended him. It was her first time so naturally I was apprehensive. I was surprised by how curteous the staff is, how sensitive. I could not believe what a great experience this was, she went in all by herself and she came out happy. She was very reluctant to go into the office, to say the least (did not want to get out of the car). She did not want to leave in the end. I was impressed about how personable and nice Dr. Newman is, he even followed up the appointment with a warm letter and a letter to my pediatrician indicating the results of her visit. Wonderful!
