At first I was afraid, I was petrified.......Dr. Castle was gone and here was this new dentist. A stranger. I was very nervous. But, after a few visits, I became much more comfortable and have now come to trust her and her staff. They suggested I get some kind of Dental Plan to help cover expenses and were very patient in showing me what treatment I needed to keep my teeth and gums healthy. We worked out a plan together on what work should be done first and we scheduled the visits so that it was easy and convenient to come in. Dr. Tourian is very patient and careful not to 'freak me out'. Seriously, I have always been afraid to go to the dentist, although I go anyway, but I am not as anxious as I used to be. I still miss Dr. Castle, in case she reads this, but she found herself an excellent successor.
