Dr. Sheff is an extremely knowledgable and gentle dentist. He is outstanding with kids, and easily coaxed my reluctant son to enter the room and sit down in the dental chair. Dr. Sheff has a wonderful way with children. He made my son feel very comfortable. He talks to the child and tells them exactly what he is going to do, and yet he is so skillful he is able to accomplish a lot (ie. drilling, fillings) relatively quickly and painlessly. The child doesn't even realize just how much dental work he had done! Dr. Sheff also has impressive experience teaching dentistry as well.
