High praise from someone who HATES going to the dentist.: I consider him very skilled and dexterious, not ham-fisted. He stays up to date in the field, and performs his duties as a craftsman, not a salesperson. I have not required his services for cosmetic purposes, but highly recommend him as an excellent "health-oriented" dentist. He will not recommend replacing all your old fillings for cosmetic reasons or profit; uses latest techniques/technologies but doesn't upsell for unneccessary procedures, and will refer to good oral surgeon for necessary jobs. Excellent bedside manner for those who are a bit phobic (like me!) Pricing is moderate to upper, but well worth it, as I am loathe to go elsewhere as lower priced clinics have left me emotionally scarred and regretful - Trust is invaluable.
About Hygienist: Not as good as DDS, but he does most everything himself anyway
