It can be a little disconcerting when a dentist has great bedside manner. You assume you can trust him when he seems like a nice person, but unfortunately you have to be wary. I recently moved, and had to leave my former dentist behind (who is wonderful), and went to Dr. Youssefi as a first time patient. He said I had numerous things wrong with my teeth, but said he would try to give me a deal and charge a little less. Because of the extensive nature of the work, I held off, and actually went back to see my former dentist on a trip back home. My old dentist found that almost all of these "problems" that Dr. Youssefi found were not necessary to fix at all, and in fact, that the manner in which Dr. Youssefi was going to repair them was a very severe quick fix, and would have made later updating repairs impossible. Even more disturbing, is the fact that Dr. Youssefi was going to charge me multiple times for fixing the same tooth! There are two kinds of dentists out there: those who look at you as a valued patient, who they want to treat over a whole lifetime. Then there are those who just see you as a mouthful of money, who repair as much as possible as a quick fix, but don't really care if it's the best thing for you over time.
