In all honesty, Dr. O'Neil has to be THE best dentist in the state. He's very knowledgable, but he really cares about you as a patient. He's very gentle, and explains everything before he does it. If you are uncomfortable in any way, he will make sure you are comfortable. My new insurance doesn't cover him, but I still prefer to go to him because he's that good. His office staff is extremely polite, and I just love his hygenists. Excellent choice of a dentist!!
