Supportive of both children and parents! He is a soft-spoken man who really knows his stuff. All four of my kids (2 y.o. to 6 y.o.) were very comfortable with him. He's not loud, or trying too hard, and my kids really liked his low key attitude. I took my youngest for a second opinion on a tooth injury (just to be sure) and Dr. Metroka had the diagnosis and treatment dead on accurate! I'll go back to him for the treatment (extraction) and I'm glad he's around so my kids grow up with such a positive image of a dentist.
