Dr. Royal is extremely gentle, caring, and personable -- a highly profesional dentist. He and his staff worked with me in considering treatment options and the associated costs. At my age of 59, having been treated by many dentists over the years, I must say Dr. Royal is by far the best of them all. I am a bit of a "dental-phobe", and I can't help but wonder if I might not be such a sissy regarding dental work if I had had a dentist like Dr. Royal early on. My family will be leaving Colorado this summer, and I fear I will never find another dentist who can measure up to his standards.
