You walk into Dr. Peterson's office and the first thing you see is a large picture of a smiling young boy standing at the bathroom sink with a tooth brush in his hand. Turns out this is Dr. Peterson as a kid, and part of his goal is to be sure that everyone leaves the visit to the endodontist with a big smile on their face, and sense of relief. This was so true for me both just last week and eight years ago. The royal treatment begins at the telephone with the staff updating me on the progress of other appointments so that I could minimize waiting room time. Friendliness is their motto; efficiency their practice. They seem to internalize the knowledge that most who show up there are in pain, and may not be at their best. Dr. Peterson himself is wonderfully comforting (he really is a painless dentist) and relaxing; observant and atuned to the patient's state of health and anxiety. He fully explains all procedures. He is really fast and efficient (root canal from assessing the condition of the tooth to final X-rays in <1.5 hours), and carries on a "soothing" banter with his assistant during the procedure--no muzak here, just very calm and casual chat between colleagues. Trust him completely, you're in good hands.
