i had not been to a dentist in over a decade because of horrible experiences in the past. I have been in nearly chronic pain that entire period. My best friend recommended Dr. Sweeny and after 3 visits (and many more to come because of years of poor dental hygiene) I must confess that Dr. Sweeny is an exceptionally competent, professional, kind, polite, and compassionate dentist. In a very short period of time I am feeling much, much better and know that I am in good hands. I went from being a person with a mouthful of problems and petrified to even ask for help to a person who is optimistic about the future of my teeth and my general health, all because I found a dentist whom I trust and have faith in.
