Dr. Goodfellow was recommended by nurses in the ER after my older brother had a bad accident many years ago. Since, my family has always and soley gone to Dr. Goodfellow. When I lived in Minnesota, I planned journies home based on dental appointments; when my brother lived in Las Vegas and when I later lived in Las Vegas we both planned dental visits back in Santa Ana. Now that I'm living in China - I still ONLY will go to Dr. Goodfellow. He and his team are extremely professional and the nicest people I've met. It's a warm friendly, family environment. His skill and attentiveness to the patients are amazing. Once I required a root canal, (other dentist wouldn't do it) he did it flaulessly during my lunch hour (even called me that afternoon to see that I was okay . It was comfortable, I had to fight the urge not to go to sleep! He preps you as to everything he is going to do and why. Takes the time to answer all questions and honestly provides feedback as to if he were in your shows (including listing pros and cons you should consider). Insurance is a odd thing, don't be alarmed if he doesn't take your carrier. You still have out-of-network coverage - it's worth asking him what things cost and comparing to in-network.
