After 2 very painful root canal experiences, I was delighted and surprised by how effective, pain-free, and stress-free my experience with Dr. Javalet was. He truly understands the stress we feel when we walk into a dentist's office, but his skills make it unnecessary for him to do anything but his job -- he is a great dentist and all fears were immediately put to rest when he started working on my tooth and explaining what he was doing. Highly recommend
