I was unlucky to have had a horrible dentist when I was young, which included him slipping with the drill and cutting open my lip. So I didn't go to a dentist for many years because of my fear. I have a great dentist now, but the damage had been done. My dentist referred my son to Dr. Exler first because he needed a gum graft, which he did and it was very successful and my teenage son had little or no discomfort. Because of my history, my dentist also suggested that Dr. Exler keep an eye on my gums, which were in pretty bad shape. Dr. Exler did the deep planing and my gum health improved, but my pockets were deep enough that I have to have surgery. He just completed the first quadrant. I can't say enough about him. He always explains why a procedure needs to be done. I brought up a procedure that I had read about regarding bone loss, and he said that he could do it and take my money, but that it really wasn't right for my situation and it would be a waste of money. He's very ethical and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. His staff is also excellent.
