I saw Dr. Balica for several fillings, a root canal and a partial extraction. She was very gentle and very understanding. As I have a dental phobia, I really aprpeciated the little extras, like watcing seinfeld while I waited in the chair. She is very good with injections and I experienced minimal pain afterwards. On the one instance where I was feeling some pain (was not given any medication) Dr. Balica offered to come in on a Saturday to check things out. Although the office itself is not much to look at, the service makes it worth it.
