Dr. Mahler is the best dentist I have ever visited. He spells out all possible treatments that are available, and he describes the potential outcome for each option. He is also very upfront about cost, advantages and disadvanatages, and treatment :"lifetime" expectancy. He does not push anyone to take the most or more expensive option. He respects your decision and will provide the best possible service. Dr. Mahler is a true artist. My crown was superbly made and attached. My bite is better than it was, before my tooth broke. Dr. Mahler is patient, gentle, caring, and understanding. I did not feel a thing -- other than having to open my mouth wide. He even understood that this can cause discomfort, so he gave me plenty of breaks. Dr. Mahler continues to stay abreast of dental techniques and procedures and he knows a network of excellent dentists, to whom he can refer his patients. I went on a referal and his colleague did not charge me for his consultation and exam, because he exchanges consultations with Dr. Mahler. When I moved 10 hours away for 7 years -- I drove all the way down to see Dr. Mahler, even for basic check-ups and procedures. I have had bad experiences with other dentists - Dr. Mahler is the greatest!
