I am terrified of dentist, pain, surgety, etc... and this man was recommended to me by my regular dentist who I have seen for 6 years. I had a root canal and I was so impressed with his attention to my fear. I was crying before he even touched me and took time to calm me down. The office is nice and the ceiling tiles have pictures on them which helped because as a patient you spend your time looking up. I was not in pain at all and even thanked him after the procedure. He is a star. I luckily only had to see him once but if I have have to have oral surgey again, I am heading to his office.
