Dr. Handel is the best dentist I've ever had in my life (and I've been to about 6 or 7... like a hairdresser, once I have a bad experience I just quietly leave to find another). I had to leave his practice because of insurance carrier changes, and the first thing out of my mouth when my employer switched dental insurance back to BCBS was, "YES!!! Now I can go back to Dr. Handel!!" He is extremely friendly and professional, and his techs give the best cleanings imaginable. He uses a very strict sanitary protocol, i.e. dental dams when he's drilling, so none of that bacteria and material gets swallowed... and he even swabs your gum with novacaine before injections, so you feel NOTHING!!! Such care is highly unique for me, and I can't wait to return to him!
