Bob is probably one of the most gentle, caring dentists you will ever find. I have tried others and even now though my work insurance won't cover him, I've decided to go back to him as I trust him to not do anything that does not need to be done. I recently went to an HMO dentist that my insurance plan covered who said I needed 2000. worth of work above and beyond my deductible, and I double checked with Bob and he said that the teeth in question did not require that amount of work at all. I'd rather pay out of pocket for work that needs to be done for a reasonable price than go to someone who sees his next vacation when he looks in my mouth.
