First of all...I PASS OUT AT THE EYE DOCTOR...OK! SO...I am a major baby when it comes to anything medical or dental. Dr. Villareal makes me so comfortable that I have nearly overcome my fears and can pretty much not have a heart attack as soon as I step into that office with that dental office smell. Usually I would literally have a panic attack. But not with him. His staff is fantastic as well. I admit that I require some nitrous still, but I'm getting to a point where I may be able to let that go too. I needed so much work done. I ended up replacing all of my silver fillings (8, I think...I lost count!). I needed root canals (he referred an expert, so that wasn't bad at all). Next week we are doing veneers...All I can say is, that I cannot go to anyone else. HE'S THE BEST! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! Oh- and he surfs...that rocks! peace.
