every time ive had a broken tooth or root canal etc- he got me and fixed it! i used to be terrified of going to a dentist-and thats after having 3 kids w/ no pain relief! but since ive gone to him- i am no longer afraid- last root canal i didnt even use the laughing gas!! minimal pain after- i took motrin and was fine. hes great and sp is all his stafff- they are freindly and warm- even when you see them at the store- they call you by name and smile! awesome place! highly recommend!
