I had not been to the dentist in serveral years and when I finally went to a general dentist, I was basically told to go to a periodontist (not politely either). That's when I found Dr. Christopher. She is great. Very gentle and understanding and very pleasant. She spent long hours doing gum surgery and cleanings and always was very excellent. She called after my appointments to make sure I was doing Ok. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
