Dr. Watkins is the gentlest dentist I've ever used. I have poor teeth, and he has filled many cavities and made four or five crowns, and I've always been pleased with his work. He is meticulous and thorough, though a downside of that is that he works very slowly. His hygienists are excellent - equally thorough - and his staff are pleasant. My main concern is that he has become quite expensive, and he is no longer a participating dentist in the Delta Dental plan. We do get some coverage.
