I found the doctor to be very good and almost painless. His technique with the hypodermic is very good, I can hardly feel it. My previous dentist seemed to have been taught by Geronimo "die white devil!!" I swear he wasn't happy unless the needle bounced off the tooth at least twice per jab, he wound up like a baseball pitcher. Anyway, Doctor Waldman is fast, friendly, patient, and he's willing to talk about whatever he's doing if you ask. I can't think of anything bad to say without getting petty, this is the best dentist I've ever been to. He's a little heavy with the anesthetic, but when I asked him to use less he was fine with that.
