My name is Doug, I was referred to Dr. Oviir late in the day and across town because my dentist could not resolve a painful issue. I arrived at the new office, sat for a quick moment and then was seen. She asked me a couple questions and performed a simple test to identify the problem. I was in pain and it would not stop. She calmed me down with her gentle confidence and said everything is gone to be fine. After that I somehow knew it was. The receptionist called my dentist got an approval to start the work and off we went. How could I really be happy when the solution involved a historically painful root canal? I could not believe how relaxed I was though. Usually I try to feel something happening, you know that slightest little pain receptor telling you to squint the eyes or grip the chair tighter, but it never came. During the procedure she made sure I was ok and after the procedure she walked me through the major points and gave me a heads up for things I might encounter. I dont like the idea of having a root canal but that is my fault over the years. If I ever have another one or anyone needs a recommendation from me, it is going to be for Dr. Oviir.
